Welcome to the sacred pause,
Where your presence is enough exactly as it is.
Gently invite the ego to remain at the door.
Leave behind the echoes of the mind and walk into the hush where truth softly sings.
As we begin this spirit guides meditation,
Take a moment to sense the energy in the room.
Both the energy you bring and the energy you receive.
Notice the subtle sensations around you.
Feel your breath,
Releasing any limits you may carry.
With each exhale,
Let go of tension in your body,
Your mind,
And your spirit.
Feel a powerful sensation of relaxation moving through you.
Allow a sense of openness to settle in,
A quiet invitation to possibilities.
Feel as though your thoughts are vibrations reaching out beyond the physical world.
Let yourself become surrounded by energy,
Embraced by its presence.
As you receive each breath,
You begin to drift deeper,
Your awareness expanding beyond the physical self,
Counting down slowly,
Following the rhythm of your breath.
Your consciousness begins to move,
Ready to journey beyond.
With an open heart and a quiet mind,
Call upon your spirit guide or higher self.
Trust that the right presence will arrive,
Seen or unseen,
Felt or simply known.
Imagine yourself walking along a path through a deep ancient forest.
Breathe deeply and soften into the space around you.
In the stillness,
Reach out with your intention,
Silently inviting a guide,
An ally of wisdom,
To walk beside you.
Whether through a feeling,
An image,
Or a quiet knowing,
Trust in the connection that unfolds with each step.
Notice a lightness in your step,
As if you are gliding along the earth.
Feel the ground beneath you,
The texture of the soil,
The softness of fallen leaves.
Breathe in the cool forest air,
Rich with the scent of moss and rain.
On this forest path,
Fog weaves through the trees,
Their trunks strong,
Their roots deep.
Sense the presence of spirits in the forest,
Within the trees,
Within the air.
Listen to the whisper of leaves,
The hum of insects,
The distant call of birds.
You are not alone on this path.
With each breath,
Allow yourself to open,
To welcome a guide from realms beyond sight.
Speak through your heart,
Not your voice,
And trust that your call has been heard.
At the end of the path,
You arrive at a closed gate.
Two torches stand on either side,
Their flames dancing in the quiet.
Pause to notice the details of the gate.
The light,
The size,
The material,
Its presence.
This gate is locked,
But you know deep within that by placing your hand upon it with pure intention,
It will open.
Laying your hand on this gate,
A protective white light surrounds you as you step forward.
Beyond the gate,
A hill rises before you.
A stone staircase winds up this hill to its peak,
And slowly you begin to ascend,
Step by step.
Moving closer to the unseen.
At the top of this hill,
A garden of energy welcomes you.
The colors are vivid,
Shimmering in the air.
Take off your shoes,
Letting your feet press gently into the soft earth.
Every sense heightens,
Rich fragrances,
The glow of fireflies,
The gentle movement of leaves.
A flicker of movement draws your eye.
A bird,
Dark feathered and luminous,
Appears before you.
It gazes at you knowingly,
Tilting its head as if inviting you deeper.
You follow this bird and it leads you to a bench,
Moss covered and welcoming.
As you sit,
Take a moment to absorb your surroundings,
To feel the tranquility of this sacred place.
The bird perches nearby,
Watching,
Waiting.
Close your eyes,
Tuning into the energy shifting around you.
A presence emerges,
A guide,
A messenger,
A familiar soul.
Perhaps they sit beside you,
Or perhaps you simply sense them near.
If you wish,
Take a moment to allow them to share their wisdom,
Or simply rest in the stillness,
Knowing you are held.
When the moment feels complete,
Take a breath of gratitude.
Thank the spirit,
The guide,
The place for their presence and insight.
Standing,
You notice the bird has returned,
Carrying something in its beak,
A gift for you.
Receive it,
Holding its meaning close to your heart.
With a final glance at the garden,
You begin your descent,
Slowly stepping down the staircase.
Each step brings a deeper sense of peace,
Carrying it with you.
At the bottom,
You reach the gate once more.
This gate is familiar now.
As you pass through,
You return to the forest path.
With each step,
The world around you shifts,
The sounds of the forest,
The breath of the wind,
The pulse of energy surrounding you.
As the journey comes to an end,
Fading,
Your awareness gently returns to the physical world,
Feeling the weight of your body,
The rhythm of your breath.
Notice the sensations around you,
The quiet hum of life,
Taking a deep breath.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying this peace with you.
Know that you can return to this place whenever you wish.
The path remains open,
Waiting for your next step.
Thank you for taking this journey with me today.
The light in me sees,
Honors,
And reflects the light in each and every one of you.
Namaste.
