Beautiful soul,
You have arrived exactly where you are meant to be.
The world outside can wait,
This is your time to pause,
To breathe,
To listen.
You are resting in the energy now of clarity,
Peace and sacred alignment,
A sacred pause between endings and beginnings.
And when we allow our physical body and our mind to grow quiet,
We can hear what truly matters.
We can hear the whispers of our soul.
If your eyes are still open,
Let them gently close now or take your gaze to one drishti,
One focus point.
Allow your body to soften,
Become heavier and feel your spine is fully supported,
Your shoulders melting and your jaw releasing.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose and sigh it gently out through your mouth.
Again,
Enjoy the coolness of the inhale and sigh the breath out.
Imagine that the roots,
Your personal energetic roots are uncurling from the soles of your feet and sinking down through the floor,
Through the layers of soil,
Through the rocks and underground rivers and crystals until they reach the warm,
Steady heart of the earth.
Steady,
Safe and ancient.
Whisper to yourself,
I am held,
I am safe,
I am grounded.
Let your awareness return back to your breath.
Each inhale a soft wave coming in and each exhale the wave falling back out to the ocean.
Inhaling the soft energy of a wave coming in and each exhale that gentle movement of the wave rolling back out.
Feel the air around you soften,
Soft like silk,
The world around you grows quieter and you begin to feel subtle loving pull like a thread of moonlight drawing you inwards.
Your beautiful mind may try to pull you out of your practice,
All you have to do is follow your thread of moonlight back in,
Allow it to gently pull you back inwards and you are ready to begin your journey.
You find yourself standing at the edge of a quiet forest just before dawn,
The sky is deep indigo and the glow of starlight shimmers through the trees with the first tiny sliver of the new moon.
Step forward gently,
Hear the soft crunch of the earth beneath your feet,
Smell the gentle air laced with pine and wildflowers,
The narrow path winds ahead of you and each step takes you deeper and deeper.
The external world falling away and only stillness remains,
Your path opens to a sacred clearing,
In the centre lies a still round pool of water,
The surface is like glass reflecting the sky,
The stars,
The moon above.
Kneel beside the pool,
Feel the earth underneath your knees,
Feet and your hands cool and alive,
You may even feel like you want to push your fingers into the earth to feel the soil or the grass or the plants.
Gaze into the water now and at first you see your reflection,
Then it begins to shimmer and shift and slowly your reflection becomes a luminous radiant light,
It becomes a radiant version of you,
Eyes shining,
Heart glowing,
This is your soul,
The wise eternal part of you,
Always there,
Always guiding.
Heart to heart,
You sit with your soul,
Yourself and ask gently what do you most want me to know right now?
Let the answers come in images,
Feelings or words or maybe just a soft knowing,
There is nothing to force,
Just listen and receive.
What do you most want me to know right now?
Place your hands over your heart,
Whisper the message softly to yourself,
Feel it sink deep into your heart like the moonlight soaking into the water,
Imagine your soul's message,
Your soul's whisper becoming a glowing seed in your palm,
A seed of intention.
Dig a small hollow in the earth before you,
Place your seed gently inside,
Cover it with rich dark soil and a handful of water,
With love and with trust,
See yourself crouching lower to the earth as you whisper to your seed,
I plant this intention with love,
I trust my soul to guide its growth,
And as you sit back,
On the other side of your pool you see your guide sitting,
Lovingly watching,
Smiling,
Grateful that you have listened and received,
You may choose to go and sit with them or simply gaze across the water at them,
Connected by heart,
By energy,
By light,
They too may have a whisper for you,
Let the stillness and the peace flow even deeper,
To hear your soul's whispers,
Carrying them like seeds of light in your heart,
Draw your awareness back to your breath,
Inhaling light and clarity,
Exhaling any feelings of unsettled or fear or doubt,
Breathe as if the earth herself is breathing with you and through you,
Be gentle with yourself in the days to come,
Move slowly,
Listen deeply and take moments to pause whenever you can,
May your path ahead be clear,
Kind and full of magic.
Let's take one deep breath together,
And as you breathe out,
Smile softly,
Send a wave of love to yourself and everyone else who needs that love and peace.
