Isis Pharia Meditation

"I will keep your divine countenance always before my eyes and the secret knowledge of your divinity locked deep in my heart." - Lucius Apuleius

Working with Isis as the Embodiment of Light

Isis Pharia

In this meditation we will be using the techniques of guided visualization. The etheric centers of the body, the chakras, will be gently activated by visualization of light. This light is called prana, a Sanskrit name for the life force that activates all living things and is the underlying principle behind all of creation. This life force of light is embodied within Isis as Her aspect of Isis Pharia. Her light can illumine the spirit as well as heal the body.

The visualization that we shall be performing during this meditation is a variation of the Middle Pillar Exercise. Stand straight, legs and feet together, arms positioned at the sides, hands open, palms facing outwards. Close your eyes and begin to relax. Keep the pace of your breathing even and restful. Do not strain, let the images come to you naturally.

Before you is the living image of the Goddess as Isis Pharia. Her Body is made entirely of Light. As you bask in Her Presence a field of light gathers around you. This light is fed by a stream of radiance that comes from the Heart and Hands of the Goddess. It manifests within you as love.

Gently, light gathers above you and enters into the crown center at the top of your head. This is Sahasrara, where the soul achieves union with the Limitless Light upon entering the final stage of spiritual enlightenment. This center is filled with light from the Heart and Hands of the Goddess. Feel it being opened, vitalized and balanced. It shines at the top of your head like a flower of light made of a thousand petals.

Now the light moves downward to your third eye center, Ajna. It is in this center that the subtle forces of Ida and Pingala merge within Shushumna. Feel it gently opening and being vitalized and balanced, filled with radiant life force from Isis Pharia.

From here the light moves downwards to the Throat center, Vissudha. This is the seat of all psychic gifts. Feel this center gently open as it receives the radiant life force of Isis Pharia. Feel it being vitalized and balanced.

Next the light forces moves down to the Heart, Anahata, center of the spiritual experience of Universal Compassion which is the first great awakening of the spirit. This is the home of kriyashakti, the solar force that underlies all true magic. It opens and shines within your etheric body like a rose of light.

The Light of Isis Pharia moves downward to the solar plexus, Manipura, the seat of Right Action. Feel this center too, being filled with light force from the Goddess. Like the other centers that lie above, it gently opens to be activated, vitalized and balanced. Again, the light moves downwards to the reproductive center, Svadisthana. In this center is the Great Mystery, where the subtle forces of spirit combine with the animal instincts to provide a Vehicle of Life. This center opens to the light, is balanced and activated by the prana streaming from the Body of Isis Pharia.

From here, the light moves again downward, to the center at the base of the spine, Muladhara. Here lie the instincts to preserve and care for the physical body, here is the seat of our physical vitality. And here slumber the etheric forces which eventually rise and merge together to create enlightenment. Feel this center too gently open to be filled with the light of the Goddess.

Now, you have seven centers all aligned along your spine, one above the other, activated by the life force of the Goddess. The light moves downward one last time, flowing down both of your legs to activate the centers within the soles of your feet. Here the light force joins with the etheric energies of the earth, to ground and stabilize you. Light continues to pour in through the Heart and Hands of Isis Pharia.

The Goddess moves behind you, Her Light begins to shine through your whole body. Gently She puts Her Arms around you and holds you. She is your Mother, You are Her child and She allows you to rest for a time in Her Arms. You become permeated with Her Light and Love until It saturates every particle of your being.

Slowly, you raise your arms so that they are slightly stretched out from your sides, with the palms facing outward. Isis-Pharia still stands behind you. Her Arms are behind your arms, Her Hands behind your hands, Her Heart behind your heart. Light pours from Her Heart and Hands into your own heart and hands which then streams out into the world. You send this light as a gift to all in need.

Now you may say the following prayer:

Beloved Lady Pharia,

Isis, so Kind and Tender,

Your Light is within me,

And I walk in Your Light.

Your Light is within me,

And I live in Your Light.

Your Light is within me,

And I heal in Your Light.

Your Light is within me,

And I love in Your Light.

Slowly, come back. Anchored by the earth and filled with the Light of the Goddess. Isis-Pharia has filled you with the Healing Radiance of Her Spirit. It will nourish and sustain you for the whole day. She has greatly blessed you and the light within you shall be a blessing to all others. Go forth as Her Daughters and Her Sons.

Pharia is an aspect of Isis as a living beacon of light. It is derived from Her association with the famous lighthouse of antiquity on the island of Pharos just off the coast of the city of Alexandria in Egypt.
