Hello and thank you for joining me on this guided journey where we will practice traveling to the lower world,
Cutting the cords that have kept us tied to specific people,
Old relationships,
And patterns that no longer serve us.
Let yourself soften into the experience to let go of judgments or expectations.
This is a guided shamanic journey where we practice actively making change to our energetic bodies,
Altering emotional states,
Spiritual connection,
And even physical ailments.
Feel free to practice the drum journey on your own and let your own story line unfold in unexpected and incredible ways.
Let these prompts guide you and keep you grounded,
Trusting what you feel,
See,
And hear.
The realm of the lower world is earthy and rich.
The fire and earth elements are often represented in this realm.
We can meet our spirit guides,
Both people and animals,
Or ancestors and loved ones.
It is an ideal place to practice letting go of the old to make space for the new.
Welcome to your practice.
Settling into your seat or lying in a Shavasana position,
Connect to the earth,
Feeling deeply supported by the ground beneath you.
Connect with your breath,
Settling into the body,
Feeling the flow of each inhale and exhale.
Without forcing anything to change,
Allow the breath to become more gentle,
Just finding ease in this moment.
Throughout this journey,
Allow the drum to guide you,
To ground you,
To entrance you.
Bring your attention now to your third eye and continue to breathe.
In your mind's eye,
Bring yourself to a space in nature that feels comfortable to you,
A green space that is your own.
Feel your feet on the earth,
The breeze on your skin.
Feel the fresh air in your lungs.
Walk through this place,
Feeling your body's every movement.
Up ahead we find a tree,
Our portal.
This is where we will travel.
Find yourself next to it,
Feeling the energy from the tree.
Use this grounding energy to ground yourself.
Perhaps you can feel your roots reaching down to the earth.
Perhaps a light surrounds you,
Or you sense your aura becoming brighter and stronger.
Your spirit guide has now joined you.
Get a sense for this person,
Animal,
Light being.
Just sense their presence.
Perhaps you can simply sense a feminine or masculine energy.
Just allow whatever comes up for you to be.
Your spirit guide will be with you on this entire journey.
Our tree is our portal.
When you're ready,
Feel yourself move into the trunk of the tree,
Gently falling to the lower world,
Trusting you will land safely below.
Landing gently now,
Feel the texture below your feet.
Notice any difference in the air?
Perhaps the time of day has changed.
Just get a sense for your surroundings and any aspects of nature that are showing up for you now.
An animal has approached you.
It wants to guide you along a pathway.
As you follow this creature,
Let yourself feel light,
Fast and playful.
Up ahead there is a large bonfire.
Make your way there.
As you approach,
The heat from the flames warms your body.
Feel yourself anchored into the earth as you watch the flames shift and change.
As you let the fire soothe you,
Bring your awareness to your base chakra,
The root.
This is where we hold our sense of security,
Family and community.
Our deep knowing of self.
Breathing deeply into the base chakra,
The color red is prominent within the fire as you watch the flames dance.
Now bring your awareness to your sacral chakra,
The space below your navel,
The low belly.
This is the space of creativity,
Abundance,
Relationships,
Sexuality,
Our expression of self.
Breathe deeply into the low belly,
Intending to release any density in this space.
A rich orange becomes prominent within the flames.
Bring your awareness now to the solar plexus,
The space above your navel at the center of your torso.
This is the space of self-esteem,
Clear decision making,
A deep connection to our personal power,
Harmony with self.
Breathe deeply into the solar plexus,
Expanding the belly,
Intending to release any density residing here.
The color of vibrant yellow is prominent within the flames.
As you continue to watch the flames,
Next to you your spirit guide hands you a stick.
Anything you are ready to release is transferred to this stick.
Let it all go once and for all by tossing the stick into the fire,
Watching this transform and turn to ash.
We can now cut ties with somebody we wish to disconnect from.
This person appears on the other side of the bonfire,
The flames blazing between you.
As you look down and notice the tie that connects you to one another,
It begins to burn in the fire,
The cord is severed,
And any energy that was leaking from you is now restored fully in your solar plexus.
As you begin to feel filled with your own personal power,
You can witness their energy being returned back to them as well,
Disconnecting fully from you.
Allow yourself to feel compassion and forgiveness in this moment.
Now let this person and any toxicity,
Fear,
Sadness,
Or grief dissolve from this space.
It is now only you and your guides around the fire now.
Breathe down into your root chakra,
Anchoring into Mother Earth,
Feeling your aura shine bright like the flames before you.
Let yourself sit in meditation next to the fire with your guides supporting you.
You may also feel compelled to sleep,
Dance,
Or continue the practice of releasing any dense energy into the fire.
You can also take this time to deepen your connection with your spirit guides.
It's now time to return.
Your animals are here to lead you back.
Feel yourself lighter than ever,
Gliding along the pathway back to our portal.
Arriving back now to the base of our tree,
Notice the surroundings once again.
Step into the tree trunk,
Floating back up,
Up,
Up,
Into your green space.
Feel your feet land softly on the earth,
Grounded,
Feeling the sun on your skin,
A gentle breeze and fresh air.
Take a deep breath in and come back to your physical body.
Consider the time of day,
The space you're in.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes slowly,
Coming back fully into the body.
Thank you for joining me on this meditative journey.
I hope this practice continues to unfold in the days to come in releasing anything else that does not serve you.
Aho.
