Welcome to today's meditation.
This is a little ritual,
A little anniversary that celebrates last year's meditation when I took you from Europe to Asia,
When we crossed the Bosphorus on a ferry boat.
And there's something quite peculiar about this place when you meet it at the spiritual level.
It is not just a few waves that reflect the sunlight.
It is not just a few fishing boats.
It is an ecosystem that celebrates a dragon and there is a lot of wisdom there.
So I'm taking you on a very shamanic journey.
We're going to start by breathing in and out,
In and out.
And the Sun is setting.
Hagia Sophia is in the background.
Sultanahmet,
The Blue Mosque,
Is here too.
And we're gonna cross the strait coming from the Marmaras Sea and we're going to meet this elemental that lives there.
Just for a little experience,
You can be safe and know that I'll be here to guide you.
So you can open your eyes and look at the scenery that I filmed or you can close them and let your mind's eye show you what's deep underneath the water,
The foam,
The bubbles of air going up to the surface.
And we're gonna imagine that you're right there with me on that boat and that we're gonna jump under the water.
And we're gonna let ourselves sink and sink and sink until we reach the bottom.
It's safe to do so,
You can hold on to my hand.
And at first you don't really see what's going on but your eyes are getting used to the absence of light.
You're gonna witness that there's a lot of different starlights shining through and letting you see the shape of a giant sea snake with wings.
And we're coming with curiosity,
Respect,
Reverence.
We're coming because we've been invited to,
We've been allowed.
And so you can give a little offering to our sea snake,
To our water dragon.
Maybe it's something that you hold dear or maybe it's a memory,
A wound,
An intention.
And we're gonna breathe in and out until we witness that the dragon is okay with us being here,
Is curious about us,
Benevolent,
Welcoming,
Loving.
And if you feel like you've been safe and trusting and that that is reciprocal,
You can ask a question about the spiritual realm to this dragon.
You can get a little bit of guidance or mentorship.
I'm gonna let him answer you.
Breathe in and out.
Take my hand and let's go all the way up to the surface.
Thank you water dragon,
Thank you for your guidance.
We'll see you again very soon.
Thank you.
And as we go back to the surface we can climb again in the boat.
Say goodbye to the sun who has set and get ready to ground back up in your body.
Thank you.
See you next week.
