Welcome,
Dear one.
Find a comfortable position either seated or lying down.
Allow your body to settle into the place beneath you.
And for these next few minutes.
Give yourself permission.
To go nowhere.
To do nothing.
To simply be here.
Gently close your eyes.
And take a slow breath in.
And a long gentle breath out.
Again,
Breathing in… and letting go.
In and out.
Now allow your breathing to return to its own natural rhythm.
There is nothing you need to force.
Nothing you need to imagine.
Tonight,
You are simply going to follow where this journey takes you.
Now begin to notice your body becoming heavier.
Your shoulders softening.
Your jaw relaxing.
The tiny muscles around your eyes becoming still.
And with every breath.
The outside world seems to move a little further away.
Now imagine that somewhere before you A small light appears.
At first,
It is no larger than a distant star.
Soft.
Steady.
Waiting.
And as you notice it,
The darkness around it begins to change.
A landscape is slowly revealing itself.
But I am not going to tell you what this place looks like.
For this place belongs to you.
Maybe that's beneath trees.
Beside the water.
Upon a mountain.
Inside an ancient room.
Or somewhere that simply has no name at all.
Allow this landscape to form around you.
Notice the ground beneath your feet the temperature of the air.
The colours.
The sounds.
Maybe even the scent carried towards you… Take a moment to look around.
Somewhere within this landscape is a pathway.
Notice where it begins.
It may be obvious.
Or you may simply know which way to go.
Begin walking.
Taking each step slowly.
There is no need to know where this path leads.
With every step you feel yourself moving a little further from ordinary thought and a little closer to something quieter.
Older.
Wiser.
As you walk,
Notice what appears beside the path.
There may be flowers.
Stones.
Lanterns.
Trees.
Animals.
Stars.
Or maybe things you have never seen before.
You don't need to understand any of them.
Just simply notice.
Ahead of you now,
The path begins to change.
And you realise you have reached a threshold.
Look at what is before you.
It's maybe a gate.
A bridge.
An archway a doorway.
A circle of stones.
A curtain of leaves.
A pool of moonlight.
Or something entirely your own.
You will know it when you see it.
Before you cross.
Place one hand over your heart.
And silently say.
I welcome only that which comes with wisdom.
Kindness.
And the highest intention for me.
Take a breath.
And when you are ready,
Cross the threshold.
On the other side,
There is a place waiting just for you.
A meeting place.
Allow it to reveal itself.
Don't search too hard.
The first impression is enough.
And somewhere within this place.
You become aware that you are not alone.
There is a presence here.
Your spirit guide.
Allow them to come in whatever way feels natural to you.
You may see someone approaching.
You may notice an animal.
A figure.
A light.
A colour.
You may hear a voice.
Or recognise a familiar energy.
Or you may simply feel the unmistakable sense of another presence nearby.
There is no correct way to experience this.
Just allow them to reveal themselves in their own way.
Now notice how you feel in their presence.
There may be a warmth.
Recognition.
Curiosity.
Peace.
Or maybe emotion rises unexpectedly.
Perhaps there is simply stillness.
Let whatever happens,
Happen.
When you feel ready,
Ask quietly.
How may I know you?
And then just listen.
It may come as a name.
Anemic.
A feeling a symbol.
A memory,
Or something you do not yet understand.
Receive whatever comes.
Now ask your guide,
What do you want me to know today?
And then become very still.
If nothing seems to come.
That is alright.
Simply sit with your guide.
Sometimes presence itself is the loudest message.
Now notice whether your guide has something for you.
Maybe a gift.
Not necessarily something you recognize.
But they may offer you an object.
It could be a plant.
A feather.
A key.
A stone.
Flame.
A word.
A colour.
Or something completely unexpected.
Hold out your hands and receive your gift.
Look at what you have been given.
Notice its weight its texture.
Its energy.
You do not need to understand its meaning.
This may come later.
Before you leave,
There is one final question you may ask.
This is your own question.
Something that belongs only to you.
You may ask it now and simply listen.
It is now time to return.
Thank your guide in whatever way feels right for you.
And know that you do not need to hold tightly to what has happened here today.
Some things will remain clear.
Others may unfold later through dreams.
Some will come in synchronicities and unexpected thoughts.
And maybe even in the quiet moments in the days ahead.
Your guide begins to move away.
And the landscape gently begins to soften.
Return to the threshold.
Crossing back through.
And find the pathway waiting for you once again.
Now begin walking slowly.
The landscape may look different now.
Notice whether anything has changed.
Maybe this path is brighter.
Maybe something new has appeared beside it.
Or perhaps you are the thing that's changed.
Ahead you see that small light once more.
The light that began your journey.
Walk towards it.
And with each stitch.
Become a little more aware of your physical body.
Your breath.
The surface beneath you the room around you.
Take a deeper breath in.
And slowly breathe out maybe that could be the place,
The presence,
The message or maybe the gift when you are ready.
Gently open your eyes and return.
Bless be
