Crystal Wheel Meditation

Orchid for Higher Mind, Psychic Intelligence, Portal to Other Realms

Place yourself in a comfortable seated position with your legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor. Place your palms open on your lap. You may hold a clear quartz crystal, amethyst, or orchid quartz in your receptive hand if you desire. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. As you relax, you begin to feel an Orchid-colored light from the Universe reach out to you, as you slowly feel a pink/purple velvet-like warmth at the top of your head, across your eyes, running down your neck. Slowly this golden warmth travels down, relaxing your mind, to the muscles of your face, your neck and shoulders, slowly across your abdomen and back, thighs, shins and finally to your feet. You feel all tension released from your body and all incorrect energies fade away with each breath you inhale and exhale. You are relaxed, comfortable and safe.

With your mind’s eye:

See the number 7, and see the color red.
See the number 6, and see the color orange.
See the number 5, and see the color yellow.
See the number 4, and see the color green.
See the number 3, and see the color blue.
See the number 2, and see the color indigo, like the midnight sky.
See the number 1, and see the color orchid.

You are now in Alpha level, where everything you do, think and say will be accurate and correct, and this is so.

You descend deeper now as you count slowly 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

You are now at your inner most level where everything you do is correct and for the good of all, and this is so.

With your mind’s eye, see yourself moving outside and looking up into the night sky. You see in the distance a sparkling wheel, almost like a bright flower made of orchid-colored crystals; as you concentrate on this dazzling and inviting wonder, a whoosh of warm air gently lifts you up and safely guides you to the brilliant Crystal Wheel, floating 700 feet above Salem, MA. You now find yourself standing on the multi-petaled Orchid-colored crystals of the Wheel. You sense a knowing intelligence among the faceted stones.

As you stand on the wheel, you begin to see others who are joining you, seeking peace, solace, and healing among its pulsing petals. You also see about the head of each person on the wheel, an orchid colored light emitting from their heads, shining out into the universe, creating an even larger and more luminous, petaled flower. As you gaze at these beams, bridges to other realms and faraway stars become apparent. These gateways of exploration are possible through the collective experience of all here tonight. The doorway to the Higher Mind of the Universe is but one beam away…and you must choose which beam you wish to connect with. Answers are waiting for you to the questions you have been recently asking yourself. Each question you pose is met with a response on the wheel. The crystals pulse in patterns. The orchid streams of light flare and flash. The beams at each participant’s head narrow and widen. FEEL at your very core which light beam you are magnetically drawn to. Jump from the wheel onto that orchid beam and fly out further into the sky. When the momentum has ceased, turn around and look down from this new vantage point. See the web of orchid light created by all the participants on the Wheel. See the Crystal Wheel below you. See the Earth down further still. The distance has given your vision a perception with both clarity and purpose. From this vantage point you can find not only the answers you seek, but also you can direct this orchid light back down to those on the wheel needing healing, those needing solace, those needing assistance, and to all those whose names are on the Crystal Wheel Healing list tonight. As you are being held up on this beam of light, you are also supporting another with your own beam. When we rise to meet our full potential, we can help others to do the same. Collectively, with the Orchid Crystal Wheel as your base, you are now a part of a massive crown of orchid light radiating out into the Universe. Here you find your sovereignty and purpose! Spend the next moments basking and bathing in this warm, orchid hue. Find a star in the distance to focus upon. Allow the gates and portals to other realms open. Politely introduce yourself. Let the wisdom of these realms be revealed to you.

The 15-minute meditation begins now.

It is now time to return. Thank the star for its wisdom. Let the beam of light you were floating on slowly and safely bring you down to the pulsing crystals on the wheel. You have helped yourself. You have helped others. You look to the future, knowing that the orchid-colored crown at your head will be your beacon, so whenever you find yourself in the dark, lost, or unsure, look to your star! Trust that this light from The Higher Mind, Psychic Intelligence and the Guides from Other Realms will always be with you, even now as you gently descend from the Crystal Wheel and journey back home.

Now come back to where you are sitting and give yourself Total Health Clearance by placing your right hand over the top of your head palm facing down, and move your hand over your forehead, throat and heart. When you come to your stomach, or your solar plexus area, turn your palm outward and push your hand away from your body. This action removes any incorrect energy.

Start to feel the energy come back to your toes, wiggling your feet as the energy moves up your shins your thighs, back up towards your hands, body, your neck and head.

Slowly coming up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Open your eyes!

Thank you!

After Lilith left Eden, the story did not end with silence.

In the medieval Alphabet of Ben Sira, Adam cries out after her departure, and three angels are sent to retrieve her. Their names are Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof, and they do not find her hiding in shame. They find her at the Red Sea, beyond the garden, beyond obedience, beyond the world that tried to place her beneath Adam.

This detail matters.

Lilith had spoken the divine name, risen from submission, and crossed into exile by choice. The angels came with a command, yet Lilith answered with refusal. She would not return to the role chosen for her. She would not become lesser so another could feel whole. She would not trade freedom for peace inside a cage.

From there, the myth becomes protective lore.

The angels warned her of consequence, and Lilith became bound to a strange agreement. Wherever the names or images of Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof appeared, especially near mothers and infants, she would have no power to harm. This is why their names later appeared on amulets, birth charms, household inscriptions, and protective objects placed near the vulnerable.

To the old world, birth was a threshold.

A newborn had crossed from unseen waters into breath. A mother stood between blood, danger, creation, and spirit. The home became liminal, and liminal places needed protection. So the angels’ names were written like a boundary spell, a warning, a prayer, and a magical defence.

Yet Lilith was not erased by their arrival.

She became the force people named when life felt fragile, when night felt close, when the unseen pressed against the walls. Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof were written where life needed guarding, where infants slept, where women laboured, and where people believed a name could hold back the dark.

Lilith was powerful enough that even angels had to be remembered beside her.
