A sacred blessing to open this journey together.
We honour the east node of the medicine wheel,
The energy of air,
Of new beginnings,
Of spring,
Of sunrise,
And the endless possibilities ahead.
We honour the south,
The fire energy,
The summer,
The abundance,
Holding gratitude for everything that we already have and everything that is on its way.
And we honour the west,
The autumn,
The water,
The shedding and the releasing,
The forgiveness and the letting go.
We honour the north,
The earth,
The winter,
The stillness,
The peace,
The reflection,
The rest.
We honour the earth beneath us,
Giving us a home,
Holding us in love,
Sharing her beauty every single day.
Thank you.
Thank you,
Pachamama.
And we honour the sky,
Pachapapa,
The infinite space,
The stars and the moons,
The rainbows and the rain,
The sunshine and the clouds.
And then we bring it back to ourselves,
The connection between the earth and the sky,
In the centre of the four directions,
Experiencing all of them when it's time.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Soften your gaze and let your eyes gently close as you breathe in slowly and softly breathe out.
Breathing slowly,
Hold for just a moment and softly breathe out.
Invite in sacred pauses between your inhales and your exhales.
And for the next few moments,
Allow the rhythm of the drum to ground you and settle you deeper and deeper into your practice.
Now imagine a place,
Visualise an open space.
Admiring the details of the nature,
The temperature of the air.
At what point of the day is it sunrise or sunset?
Is it dark,
Dark night or the brightness of the midday sun?
Notice a gentle breeze brushing against your skin and it carries the scent of fresh grass and open lands and distant rain.
Let the air and the breeze move through your hair,
Your clothes,
Around you softly.
And this wind carries the energy of change,
Of freedom.
Feel as if it is not just moving around you,
But is moving through you,
Clearing and loosening and shifting.
Anything that feels heavy,
Anything that feels stuck,
Allow it to be carried away.
Give it permission to be set free.
Give anything that you are carrying that you do not wish to carry,
Give it to the drum.
Set yourself free.
And the breeze begins to soften and the winds settle.
And you see yourself now stood in a vast open landscape.
Rolling hills stretching endlessly and wild grasses moving like waves.
And the earth is warm beneath your bare feet.
Above you an endless sky,
Wide,
Expansive,
Free.
And you walk,
No path,
Just trusting your feet.
Right now there is no direction that you must follow.
You are free with no pressure,
No expectation,
Just space.
And movement,
Just being and breathing.
You could suddenly change direction or you could stop and look and smell.
You might even choose to just lie down and gaze above you to the sky.
There are no rules here.
You do sense a presence,
A gentle,
Soft,
Luminous presence.
And from the distance you see something approaching,
A guide or an animal,
A spirit.
A being that is aligned with you.
Allow it to reveal itself,
Either as seen or felt.
And there is no need to question what you see or feel.
Just let it be present with you now.
And ask softly,
What are your words for me?
What is your guidance for me in this time of change and transformation?
What do I need to remember now?
What do I need to receive?
What do I need to leave behind to allow me to step forward into this new chapter of my story?
Free and unbound and untethered.
Give to the drum all that you are leaving behind before you step forward into your next chapter.
Give it all to the drum.
And before you,
The land begins to change.
The ground shifts.
And before you now is a space unlike the land behind.
This is a threshold.
This is your portal and you feel it.
The energy shifts here.
The air feels different.
Smells different.
It is lighter.
It is charged.
It is alive.
Your guide is with you.
You are not alone here.
This is the moment between who you have been and who you are becoming.
Feel everything here.
Feel the excitement.
Feel the fear.
Feel the trust pulsing through you as you prepare to step into the unknown,
Unknown and unsure.
The air and the space in front of you begins to shimmer.
Light and movement.
Your portal.
A time to embody freedom and expansion.
And the wind rises again but this time it lifts and it opens and it creates space.
And your guide encourages you forward.
Not forcing.
A gentle nudge.
And when you feel ready.
Taking one step.
And the next.
Into the ship.
And as you step through everything opens.
Space expands around you.
Endless sky.
Feelings of joy.
Excitement.
Happiness.
A space of no limits.
And no expectations.
Freedom.
Feel it.
Taste it.
Smell it.
You are unrestricted.
You are unbound by the past.
You are alive.
You are open.
And you don't need to know what's coming next.
You are simply here.
You are ready and willing to receive and to trust in this energy of possibility.
And of freedom.
Float.
Rest.
Be in this expansion.
In this freedom.
Freedom.
It was always inside of you.
And right now you have remembered it.
And your guide remains with you for a moment.
Before they gently step back.
But they are always there.
Always near.
Always available.
When you call.
And you ask yourself.
You ask your soul.
What next?
And feel a bubble of excitement rise.
Hold that beautiful energy within you.
Let the visuals of the land softly fade.
And may you walk forward from this moment.
With a little more space inside of you.
A little bit more breath.
A lot more trust.
May the winds of change feel less like something to fear.
And more like something that carries you.
May you remember that you are not meant to stay the same forever.
That you are allowed to shift.
And to grow.
And to choose differently.
May the path ahead of you not need to be fully clear and open.
Let there be surprises and unexpected moments of joy on the way.
And just for now may you trust the section of the path that you are on.
And when life feels uncertain.
May you return to this feeling of possibility.
Of freedom.
Of openness and change.
And that is where your magic lives.
Thank you for taking this journey with me.
Be excited about what is to come.
Namaste
