This is a shamanic journey into your inner heart temple,
Where unconditional love and clear boundaries can be experienced together.
I will guide you every step of the way,
And you are held in a safe and supported space throughout this experience.
You will encounter a guardian presence at the gate of your heart space,
Supporting you in discerning what belongs in your heart and what does not.
Then,
You will be invited to bring forward someone or something that feels difficult or uncertain,
And hold presence within it,
Noticing what feels true in your body.
Simply follow what feels right for you.
Whatever arises is both valid and required.
Now,
Relax and settle in.
If you have not already done so,
I invite you to gently close your eyes.
Settle into whatever chair or couch or bed or surface you are seated upon,
And allow that piece of furniture to hold you without complaint.
Relax the muscles in your face and in your jaw,
And drop your shoulders away from your ears.
And let's just take three connecting breaths as a circle.
One deeply unifying breath,
Another deeply connecting breath,
And one last deeply nourishing breath.
I invite you now to reach out with your non-ordinary senses,
Your sight beyond sight,
Smell beyond smell,
Taste beyond taste,
Touch beyond touch,
And hearing beyond hearing.
And as you reach out with these non-ordinary senses,
Imagine yourself safely tucked away in your own personal sacred inner sanctuary.
This is a place in nature where you feel safe,
Where you feel deep comfort,
A space where you know that it is possible to experience deep and profound healing.
Take a few moments to look around.
Notice the details.
What does the ground feel like under your bare feet?
What does the air feel like on your skin?
What do you hear?
As you explore this very comfortable and familiar space,
You notice an area that has been made for you.
It is a comfy spot where you can sit or lie down and settle in,
A place of rest where you can heal and relax.
I invite you now to move toward that space and settle in.
And as you tuck yourself and snuggle in deeper to this comfortable spot made just for you,
I will now call in the helping and compassionate spirits that are willing to guide us on our journey today.
It is with great reverence,
Profound humility,
And deep gratitude that we greet,
Honor,
And welcome all of the helping and compassionate spirits who are present here with us in circle today.
We greet,
Honor,
And welcome the four directions,
North,
East,
South,
And west.
We greet,
Honor,
And welcome the four elements,
Earth,
Air,
Water,
And fire.
We greet,
Honor,
And welcome the spirit of all of the vast and diverse lands that we call home.
Thank you for providing each of us with physical shelter and safety in order for us to be able to do this important work.
We greet,
Honor,
And welcome the nature beings of the land,
Air,
And sea.
It is our intention to continue to connect with you,
Appreciate your beauty and your importance to this earth and to our lives,
And to live in greater harmony and reciprocity with you.
We greet,
Honor,
And welcome all of our relations.
Our ancestors,
Our contemporaries,
And our descendants.
Today we will be exploring a relationship with some of these people that may feel and look difficult in this dense human form.
And we call upon you today,
The helping and compassionate spirits of all of these humans,
To be able to give us clarity,
To give us insight,
And maybe to allow us to see or feel something.
That will open our hearts to the truth of what is.
And so it is,
All is well and beautiful.
To stay snuggled up in your safety,
Both separately and as one circle.
Within our own physical,
Energetic,
And emotional bodies.
To the temple of the heart.
With your intention.
Into the vast landscape of your own tender heart.
And how is this building being surrounded and protected?
The entrance to this structure.
Now,
To the entrance of the gate.
Begin to sense a presence here.
Reach out with your intention to make contact with this being.
To support you in gaining some clarity.
Through your heart as you set this intention.
To take form in front of you.
You don't know if it is safe to let into the temple of your tender heart.
Or this circumstance into my tender heart.
Which I am so unsure about.
Into thing or circumstance that you are unsure about.
Posted back into the earth.
And in whatever way occurs to you to do so.
Say thank you.
And extend your gratitude to the guardian spirit of your heart's temple.
And your inner heart space to fade.
On the spot where you're resting in your own sacred inner sanctuary space.
As this journey has come to a close.
Stay where you are.
Keep your eyes gently closed.
You're back now.
Settled into your sacred inner sanctuary space.
As you feel yourself being held and cradled by the earth.
And everywhere your body is touching.
This sacred comfortable spot.
You feel hundreds of tiny little bright green fresh roots.
Popping out from your physical body.
And digging down with purpose into the earth.
These little roots are so intelligent.
That they know exactly where to go as they dig further and further down.
Past every layer of soil and rock.
Past the rotting remains of animal beings and plant beings.
And down through the crust,
Mantle,
Molten core of the earth.
Until they hit the crystalline center of mother earth herself.
And these little roots are soaking up the warmth.
And entraining to the frequency and the heartbeat of mother earth.
And these little roots that are you.
Are transmitting all of this warmth.
And this frequency and this resonance of the earth up into your physical body.
And you feel your physical body being suffused with warmth and light.
And as this warm glowing liquid light fills you.
There is so much of it.
That it oozes out and overflows.
And begins to create a fountain.
That reaches and sprays up from your physical body.
Particularly from your chest.
And your heart space.
And this fountain.
This fountain of liquid light.
This geyser now.
Bursts forth into the air.
And up,
Up,
Up into the cosmos.
This connects you now.
With the heavens.
Your physical and energetic bodies are now acting as a bridge.
Right at your heart space.
Between the cosmos.
And the earth.
And with these earthly and heavenly energies.
Now mixing and suffusing.
In your heart center.
We are going to take three deep breaths.
Together as a circle.
To close this journey completely.
Through your heart center now.
With all of this energy.
You are going to take one deeply revitalizing breath.
And as a circle we breathe together.
And take one deeply rejuvenating breath.
And both together and separately.
We take one final deeply restorative breath.
Gracias Pachamama.
Mother Earth.
Mother Time.
Mother Universe.
