Becoming Taro,
Be the moon.
For when it's time to look at your shadows,
Uncover your duality,
Explore the mysterious,
The illusion,
And unknown fears.
Find a comfortable seat.
Become aware of your breath.
Lengthen your spine.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath through your nose and empty through an open mouth.
Bring your attention to the center of your brow.
Continue to take these breaths,
Each pass deeper than the last,
Dissolving all blockages,
Clearing stagnation.
Now begin to breathe both inhale and exhale through your nostrils.
Allow your breath to find its own natural rhythm.
Notice your breath originating from the center of your brow and spreading out and beyond,
Only to come back in,
Sealing at the center of the pineal gland.
Now begin to allow this breath to pull from the earth,
From the seat beneath you,
The soil beneath that,
Through to the center of the earth at crystalline core.
Draw back up through this core center,
Through earth to your seat,
Through your feet,
Through your legs,
Through your root,
Through your belly,
Your ribs,
Your heart,
Your throat,
Pulling up,
Up,
Up all of this energy back to the center of your brow.
Sealing this space of origin at center of the brow,
Turn your attention now,
As you find yourself upon a path that leads ahead between two towers.
The soil beneath your bare feet is cool,
Grabbing space along the curve of your heels.
Drops of light shaped in yachts fall from the eclipse that fills the space above and ahead.
Almost as though from you,
Tethered to you,
A wolf and a dog stand either side of the path ahead.
Their howls to the moon feel as they emanate from your own throat.
Nearby,
Water laps the ground,
Small waves magnetically drawn by the moon to soak into the earth,
As those secrets struggle to surface,
Only to be pulled deeper below.
A knowing deep within acknowledges these secrets.
Between the draw of the moon and the water behind,
A space of 360 degrees infused with magic,
The promise of visions of illusions slipping away.
As you stand here,
Light falling like fractals,
Illuminating the inky night,
The soil cupping your feet,
Wet from the water.
The soil has gobbled from the pool behind.
You walk towards the animals that line your path forward.
Your fingertips brush against their coats.
From them to you passes primitive knowledge,
A release of repression,
A release of ego,
A release of false beliefs.
You continue on,
Taking passage between the two towers,
Where charged betwixt lie strange emotions,
Dreams,
Fears,
Excitement of the unknown.
You step further through,
And your intuition is now fully ignited.
Your dreams now forever filled with messages,
Your horizon filled with visions,
And your instincts true and trusted.
Peace be still,
And there shall come a calm upon the waters.
Feel this within,
This depth within,
This stirring within,
This unwinding of self,
This expansion,
Untethered,
Forever limitless,
Forever boundless,
The untold now told,
The unknown now held within.
Take in this moment with all of your senses.
Scan your body and see where you have stored this knowledge.
A touchstone that resides within forevermore.
Seal it here,
And feel it expand and retract with each breath.
Bring your attention once more to the center of your brow,
A few inches behind at the pineal gland,
At ajna,
At third eye.
Feel an activation here,
Pulsing a knowledge,
An integration of duality,
Of polarity.
Settle your breath,
Settle back into your seat,
And return into this room.
Be well,
Holy one.
Settle your breath,
Settle back into your seat.
