Welcome beautiful soul,
Take a moment to arrive into this journey,
Let your body soften,
Let your breath deepen and invite your attention and your awareness to gently return to yourself,
To bring your loving awareness internal now.
Within this practice we turn toward the east node of the medicine wheel,
The place of sunrise,
Of first light,
Of new beginnings.
And the east node carries the element of air,
The breath of life.
In this journey you will connect to the energy of the middle world,
The place where spirit and earth meet,
A place where nature is not just seen but it is felt and it is heard,
It is sensed.
The place where the veil is thin,
Where the magic is subtly sitting there waiting,
And where the trees,
The wind,
The earth are present and listening.
In this journey you may not see clearly but you will feel,
You will sense a shift in the energies,
A whisper of wisdom,
Feeling a sense of your tribe or your guides,
There is nothing to seek,
Just allow this journey to unfold.
It's not about straining or finding answers,
A soft and gentle opening to your breath,
To nature,
To possibilities,
To the quiet magic that exists all around you and within you.
Let's begin.
Close your eyes or soften your gaze,
Breathe in through your nose,
Exhale through your mouth,
Breathe in,
Letting go,
Feel the air moving through you,
This invisible presence entering and then leaving,
Life moving through your body.
Let your shoulders soften and your jaw release and your belly relax.
In your mind's eye,
See yourself standing at the edge of a forest,
It feels alive,
Not only with nature but with presence,
The air is soft and fresh,
Carrying the scent of damp earth,
Moss and early blossoms,
And there is birdsong,
Gentle and layered,
Leaves whispering in the breeze,
And beneath it all,
Something quieter,
A subtle hum of energy,
Breathe in and step forward as your foot touches the earth,
You may feel a soft energetic response,
Like the land is recognising your touch,
Welcoming you,
You walk slowly,
Your footsteps gentle,
You notice new shoots emerging from the ground,
Delicate green life pushing through the soil,
Tiny flowers opening to the light,
Branches beginning to soften with buds,
Spring is here,
And with it arrives a quiet and gentle sense of magic,
As you move deeper into the forest,
The atmosphere begins to shift,
Only slightly,
But enough to feel,
The light dances differently here,
Flickering through the leaves,
The air almost shimmers,
You may sense movement just beyond your vision,
A flicker,
A presence,
Perhaps small gentle movements between the trees,
A feeling of being watched over,
A gentle,
Loving energy,
The spirits of the land,
The unseen keepers of nature,
There is no need to focus or strain,
Simply allow the feeling,
A soft awareness that you are not alone in this space,
The breeze moves around you a little warmer now,
Carrying a sense of lightness,
Of change,
Of something beginning,
Breathing it in,
Feel the energy move through your body,
Awakening something within you,
Your soft footsteps on the earth,
And the forest begins to open and you arrive at a clearing,
Golden light spills into this space,
The air feels warm,
Welcoming,
This is a place of gathering,
A place between worlds,
And as you step into the clearing,
The sense of energy and presence around you increases,
Not overwhelming,
Just there,
Spirit guides,
Angels,
Nature spirits,
Animal guides,
Feel yourself surrounded by gentle unseen support,
It may be a light being approaches you,
Or simply stands quietly at the edge of the clearing,
Be open to receive,
Receive the energy,
The guidance,
The wisdom or the gifts,
Feel the earth beneath your feet and the breeze moving through the clearing,
Dancing around you like a blessing,
Asking your guides,
What do I need to hear or feel or see now that supports the path ahead of me,
Trust what presents itself to you,
A sense of direction,
You may receive a symbol,
Or a sense of energetic movement in the body,
The heart,
And let it land within you,
Hold the intention that this is a gentle pause,
A moment of soul connection,
A gentle beginning,
To see if any other guides,
Animals or presents wishes to share their magic with you now,
Send gratitude to all those who have taken this journey with you,
And allow the clearing in the forest to soften,
To gently fade,
The energy remains with you,
And may I remind you that magic is not somewhere else,
It's here,
It's in your breath,
It's in your body,
It's in the quiet spaces between the noise,
And may this energy of the east walk forward with you from this moment,
A softness of spring in your heart,
Trusting that not everything needs to be known,
To allow space for the surprises and the unexpected moments,
And trusting that something beautiful that you can't yet see is already unfolding within you,
And may the breath of the east energy move gently through your life,
Clearing what feels heavy,
And awakening what feels ready,
And may you honour your own timing,
Like the earth honours the seasons,
Never rushing,
Never forcing,
May you remember that new beginnings are not always something that you have to chase,
But something you trust to arrive at the perfect moment,
And may you carry with you stillness,
A quiet knowing within you,
And a sprinkle of magic through every cell in your being,
And you are supported,
And you are guided,
And you are already on the path,
And so it is.
