Hello and welcome to this Insight Timer guided meditation.

Within this meditation,

I am going to guide you on a shamanic journey of connecting with the spirit animal of the Salmon.

Before doing so,

However,

Let me share with you the gifts and medicine that come through from the Salmon with my Soul Pathway Oracle Card.

The spirit animal of the Salmon brings you the message of determination and resilience,

Calling you to not give up on your goals and dreams.

It is said that you will experience the most resistance when you are the closest to achieving success.

Unlike other fish,

Salmon often go against the current and are seen swimming upstream.

If you are connecting with the spirit animal of the Salmon,

Then you are being guided to persevere through the challenges in your life.

Allow yourself to become adaptable as you go with the flow of life's journey.

At times it may seem as though there is no resolution in sight,

Though soon enough an insight will appear and everything will become clear.

Now you've connected with the gifts and medicine from the Salmon,

Let me now guide you on a shamanic journey so that you can deepen your connection with this incredible animal.

I'd like you to begin by finding a place where you can simply and easily relax your mind and your body away from any distractions that may be around you.

Once you've found that place,

Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth,

In through your nose and out through your mouth.

One more time,

Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth and allow yourself to find that peace and stillness within as you begin connecting with your soul.

I'd like you to start by relaxing each and every muscle and fibre in your body,

Starting from the top of your head,

As you relax your forehead,

Bring that relaxation down through to your eyelids and then down through your cheeks and your jaw and furthering that relaxation as it floats down through your neck and into your shoulders.

As you take a deep breath in through your nose,

Raise your shoulders and as you take that outward breath,

Allow your shoulders to fall by your waist side as if they're loose,

Limp and lazy.

Bring that relaxation further down and deeper down through your torso,

Relaxing your arms as they begin to soften and deeper down relaxing your stomach and all of the muscles that surround that area,

Bringing that relaxation further down and deeper down then to your legs,

Relaxing your legs,

That's right and bring that relaxation down through to your knees as you begin relaxing your joints as they start to soften and feel much more at ease as well.

Then you can allow yourself to move that relaxation down to the lower part of your legs,

Around your ankles as you relax your ankles,

All the way now to the tips of your toes,

Allowing yourself to feel absorbed in that relaxation as you create that sense of peace and harmony within,

Imagine an aura surrounding you at this moment that assists you in deepening your connection with self.

As I guide you on this shamanic journey,

Now that you've relaxed each and every muscle and fibre in your body,

Let me guide you on this shamanic journey,

I'd like you to imagine walking in nature as you connect with yourself and your surroundings,

Imagine walking past a river or a stream,

Connect with the energy that surrounds you at this time,

As you listen to the sounds of the river,

As you connect with the flow of it,

You may be even able to smell the freshness of the river,

As you walk slowly and tentatively in nature,

You may be able to hear the sounds of the birds and other animals that surround you,

Just connect with your surroundings,

See you through your own eyes,

Hear through your own ears and feel that feeling within yourself as you connect with nature and connect with this beautiful river that flows beside you and then allow yourself to connect with the shamanic drum.

Continue walking along the river as you connect with the flow of the stream,

As you connect with the flow within yourself,

As you go with the flow of life's journey,

Now allow yourself to connect with the sound of the shamanic drum as you connect with the heartbeat of your soul and the heartbeat of nature,

Breathe in through your nose,

Down through your mouth and allow yourself to align with the shamanic drum and with the flow of the river.

Now I'd like you to imagine taking a walk into the stream,

As you feel the flow of the river on your feet and the freshness of the water flowing around you,

Notice the feeling of being cleansed and healed as you connect with this river and stream,

I'd like you also to connect with your emotions and feelings as you go with the flow of what is being expressed in this moment and revealed to you,

As you begin connecting with the spirit animal of the salmon,

I'd now like you to begin walking upstream,

Much like the salmons would do,

As you begin walking upstream,

Notice the fish that are swimming in the river,

As you slowly walk further upstream,

You may notice that there are other fish swimming against the current,

In this moment you notice they are salmon and you notice that they are pushing their way up the stream,

Like they have this determination and resilience to get further and further up the stream and the river,

Notice that there may be rocks on their path,

In which they may have to meander around,

But this gives them the determination and resilience to not give up and keep moving,

I'd like for you to observe the salmon as they continue swimming upstream,

Observe the obstacles at which they face and notice how they overcome the obstacles on their path,

You may see salmon leaping out of the water to jump further upstream,

This may be their leap of faith to continue moving forward,

Allow yourself to connect with the energy of the salmon as you become at one with them,

As you notice their gifts and medicine,

Connect with the determination and resilience that they have,

In order to not give up on their goals and dreams,

As you imagine walking up this river,

I'd like you to reflect upon your goals and dreams,

What it is that you want to achieve in your life and allow yourself to continue moving forward,

Continue to have faith on your journey and path,

As you go with the flow of life's journey,

There may be obstacles on your path,

But much like the salmon,

You can adapt to the flow of the river,

As you overcome those obstacles on your path,

You're being guided to persevere through the challenges in your life,

Continue moving forward at your own pace and in your own time,

But go with the flow of the river and the flow of your own life,

At times it may seem as though there is no resolution in sight,

Though soon enough an insight will appear and everything will become clear,

So allow yourself to become that observer,

As you observe your life and the challenges at which you face,

There may be the resistance at which you experience,

For it's said that you will experience the most resistance when you are closest to achieving success,

So keep persevering like this salmon,

As you connect with its gifts and medicine,

Know that you have the determination and resilience to overcome any obstacle on your path,

For the salmon is calling you to not give up on your goals and your dreams,

Salmon are often seen swimming against the current,

As they swim upstream,

This may be a sign for you to go against the current of your own life,

As you follow your own path and calling and as you persevere through those challenges in your life,

It's important to go with the flow of life's journey and as I've already stated,

It may seem as though there is no resolution in sight,

Though soon enough an insight will appear and everything will become clear,

I'd like you to bring the energy of the salmon into your mind,

Your body and your soul,

As you bring forth the energy of determination and resilience to keep you moving on your path,

Connect with the flow of the river once more,

As you feel the flow around your feet and allow yourself to reconnect with Mother Earth once more,

Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth,

Allow yourself to come back to now and to this present moment,

As you connect with the flow of life's journey,

Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and allow yourself to come back to now and I hope you found that guided meditation to be valuable and useful when connecting with the spirit animal of the salmon,
