Find a comfortable position,
Then allow your body to fully sink into the support beneath you.
Take a deep breath in and release it with a soft sigh.
Letting go of any expectations or lingering noises from your day.
Allow your mind to turn inward,
Descending past the surface of everyday thoughts.
Now you find yourself standing at an ancient archway made of dark,
Polished stone.
As you walk,
You notice that beyond the arch lies a mist-covered crossroads illuminated only by the faint light of the moon and the stars above.
This is the boundary of the subconscious.
A sacred sanctuary.
Where what is hidden is revealed and what is broken can be restored.
As you now stand at the center of the crossroads,
The air becomes cold and still.
You feel a profound ancient power.
Yet you feel entirely safe.
In the distance,
A warm flickering light appears.
It travels towards you.
Through the shadows walks Hecate.
The keeper of the keys,
The mother of witches.
She approaches,
Holding a blazing torch high to illuminate the dark.
She does not look upon you with judgment.
But with a deep,
Timeless understanding.
She knows your burdens,
Your griefs.
And the places within you that hurt.
She steps closer and extends her hand.
In it,
She holds a golden key.
As you place it gently against your heart center,
You feel a southern,
Smooth,
Warmth,
Bloom,
Where the key touches your chest.
It is the key to unlock your own healing.
Hecate lowers her torch and its flames shift from a fiery orange to a soft glowing obsidian silvery light.
This is her healing medicine.
She invites you to take a deep breath in.
Drawing in the silver light into your body.
As you inhale,
See the silver light into your chest.
Wrapping around your heart.
Soothing old wounds and worries.
As you exhale,
Let go of any pain,
Resentment,
Or fatigue you've been carrying.
Give it to the Crossroads.
The Earth will absorb it and transform it.
Feel the cool,
Restorative energy flowing down your arms,
Into your torso,
And down into your legs.
It washes over your mind,
Silencing the noise,
Leaving only a profound sense of peace.
Have your day stand.
Watching.
Her presence acts as an impenetrable shield.
In this space,
You are completely protected.
Allowed to rest and permitted to heal.
It is time to return to reality.
But the healing remains.
Take the two steps back into the mist.
Her torch is still shining brightly in your mind.
She reminds you that the crossroads always exist within you.
And her light is always acceptable whenever you are in the dark.
Now bring your awareness back to your breath.
Feel a rise and fall of your chest.
Gently wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Feel the solid surface beneath you.
Remember to carry the silver light of Hecate's healing throughout your day.
And when you are ready,
Gently open your eyes.
