I want you to take this moment to call yourself back to your body.

Over the last month or so,

We have been plagued with heavy rains.

The forest has been flooded.

Paths are now running creeks of water,

Sweeping us from under our feet.

It's amazing how everything can seem on fire with so much rain,

Almost like the world itself is cleansing from everything that's been happening recently.

So what do we have to gain from what Gaia is going through?

Since we are all connected,

We all must be going through the same thing she has been.

What needs to be washed away?

Something that's very interesting is looking at water and what it represents.

Water is a motion that is unforgiving.

It will flow where it needs to flow,

Finding the easiest path to get out even though it might not make as much sense.

But it's also cleansing.

So what can it cleanse for you?

As I walked through the forest during all the floods,

As everyone's saying it's dangerous,

Sometimes the water was so deep that it was going up to my calves,

But it was on a path that I knew.

The obstacles that can trip us up actually became stairs to climb through the water.

It helps us gain perspective because we can easily see where that water flows,

As it always flows down from a higher point.

So now today we're going to follow that water to see where it leads us for what needs to be released so that we can come through and we can understand what we need to gain through the next coming months and for the rest of the year.

So I invite you now to get yourself in either a seated or laying down position that's comfortable.

As we travel to the forest together to find the root cause and see what this water is washing away for us,

We're going to focus now and we're going to start just focusing on our breathing,

In through the nose,

Out through the mouth,

As we breathe in and out,

Maybe rolling our shoulders to relieve the stress of the day as we sink deeper and deeper into our bodies.

Now what we're going to do is we're going to imagine our roots pulling from either our feet if you're seated or throughout your whole body if you're lying down,

Filtering down to a black obsidian sphere that is six feet below you,

Wrapping all of our roots inside it,

Pulling energy from this space.

We're going to be pushing this earth star chakra down,

Down deep into the earth,

Feel yourself getting heavy and grounded and secure to a special spot in Gaia just for you.

Deeper and deeper you go.

And then you feel that sphere start to turn as you feel energy being pulled up from the earth,

Up through your roots,

Through your body,

Your legs,

Your root,

Your sacral,

Solar plexus,

Heart,

Throat,

Third eye,

Crown,

All the way up and out as it creates you in this giant golden bubble of fairy lights and sparkles,

Keeping you safe and secure.

Now I want you to imagine a tree behind you,

Growing so close that the bark isn't touching you but you know it's right there.

With a deep breath in,

You're going to fall into that space,

Drifting on a raft.

Drifting down and down and down like a nice light leaf from your own tree.

As you land on the wet forest floor,

You can hear the water rushing.

You're standing in a small creek that's created itself in a path.

What does this water feel for you?

Is it warm?

Is it soothing your aching ankles?

Or is it nice and cold,

Causing relief from walking for so long and so hard?

Does it feel comforting and refreshing?

Or cool and crisp?

Take a look at what you're wearing,

How the rain feels on your skin.

Is it heavy?

Is it light?

Or is there no rain at all,

Just the aftermath of all the water that is still coming undone?

I now invite you to start walking up this path,

Using the branches to hold on,

Using the steps of the intermingle group beneath your feet.

Does the water look muddy,

Or can you see it clearly underneath?

Make a path through the water.

I want you to imagine that the water is helping you,

Not hurting you,

As it's ripping away the shackles on your feet,

Forcing you to drop bags that you don't need to carry through this,

That is hindering you able to grab onto branches for support.

As you lose these parts of you,

You no longer need to know what they are for,

Just know that the water is carrying it away for you to transmute it to something else.

We don't look back,

We're just going to keep going forward,

Because that is all that matters right now.

Sometimes it is good to investigate the path,

And sometimes you just need to let it go.

As you walk up this hill,

As you keep going,

Feeling parts of you that are being dropped or taken away,

I want you to take a look at the surrounding.

Take a look at the little sparkles weaving through the trees,

The little fairies that are coming to guide you,

Whether they're animal spirits,

The fae,

Ancestors,

They're everybody watching you on this journey,

So that you can understand where you're going and know that you're not alone.

Are you nervous?

Are you excited?

If you're anxious,

Take a couple deep breaths to ease through this of being watched and being seen and recognized,

For sometimes that is a very hard thing to do,

Especially when people see a struggle,

Because they might be just learning how to climb up and not judging you for who you are.

And if they're judging you,

It's probably because they're stuck in the mud.

As we walk up,

We reach a plateau.

The water is not as hard here,

But still trickling downwards,

Leading you up to the root of the fountain of what you need to work for.

Now I ask you to call upon your guide,

Whether by name or just while in spirit,

In the spirit of the forest,

To offer you the message and the lessons of that climb and the keys for going further so it's not so difficult the next time.

Music Humming As you start making your goodbyes,

I want you to thank the guide or guides that have come for you today.

Thank you for your wisdom,

For your guidance and your support.

Bid them farewell.

Soon in front of you,

A few steps away,

Into the line of the trees,

You're going to see the tree that you entered.

Take a moment to look at this tree,

At her trunk,

Leaves,

Branches.

Maybe you've seen it before in life.

Maybe it's something brand new.

Walk up,

Put your hands on her bark.

Do you know what kind of tree it is?

This tree is how you can go back to this moment without the climb,

To gain wisdom of the forest as many times as you need,

To help you release and get back to the earth when times seem hard and you need to gain a bit more grounded perspective.

You see a doorway opening up in the tree.

Step through it,

Closing it firmly behind you.

As you take three steps into the darkness,

And find yourself back inside your body.

Snapping your ankles,

Your knees,

Your hips,

Your heart,

Your shoulders,

Your head,

Releasing your roots and pulling up that earth star chakra up to some place that's more manageable for you,

So you don't feel heavy and dragging over the next few days.

Thank you so much for being here with me today.

Have yourself a hearty snack,

Drink lots of water,

Journal if you're called to,

And let's see how much easier the path is for the coming future.

Blessed be everybody.
