Have you noticed the increased interest in dragons,
Mermaids,
Unicorns,
And anything mythical especially by our children?
Perhaps this is because such creatures and their stories are coming back to remind us of a deep consciousness we have forgotten.
They are what we would call hybrids.
They live within different elements,
Air and fire,
Water and earth.
And within each of us,
We have memories of these animals.
And so,
Would you like to journey with me to meet your own mythical creature?
If so,
Let's start.
Are you ready for a meditation?
And just before we do this,
Please let go of any thoughts you already have of an animal or a hybrid that you want to meet.
Allow yourself to be in mystery.
If you're not in a place where you can close your eyes and make yourself comfortable,
Then you can do this part of the podcast later when you have that space for yourself.
Please make yourself comfortable,
Closing your eyes.
Take a few deep breaths.
Counting in for the in breath on the count of three and out on the count of six,
Down through your body into the floor.
Again.
And relax.
Taking all the thoughts that are floating around in your head,
Any thoughts even about these wonderful mythological characters,
Just breathing them down,
Letting yourself become empty,
Open to whatever wants to come to you.
Being aware of your feet on the ground or on the bed or wherever you are.
Now take your awareness to your heart.
Just breathe in and out of your heart,
Bringing compassion to yourself.
Now through your heart,
See yourself in one of your favorite places in nature.
Somewhere you can go to relax.
Maybe somewhere you know,
It might even just be somewhere in your imagination.
Look around you and see the colors of this place.
Listen to the sounds,
Smell the air.
Just take again a few breaths to just relax.
You don't need to do anything here.
No expectations,
No work,
Nothing except for just being present.
Now as you look around you see what looks like a carpet.
And indeed it is a magic carpet.
You go over to it,
Perhaps sit on it,
Hold on to the edges,
And slowly it starts to lift off the ground.
And as it goes higher and higher,
Your intention is that you should be taken to a place where you should meet your mythical,
Wonderful creature.
It can be of any type you like,
But allow the magic carpet to take you there.
For some it may be going to a place where there's water,
Others where there's mountains,
Some of you down into a cave.
Don't worry,
Let the magic carpet guide you now.
You even may feel that the temperature changes around you.
For some you may be getting cooler,
Some hotter,
Just depending where you are going.
Now your magic carpet starts to go back towards the ground.
It's arrived.
You step off and you look around.
Where are you?
What's your landscape?
You may not immediately see your mythological character,
The creature that is yours,
A hybrid creature.
But we're going to call on that now.
Call out into the air,
The sea,
The fire,
The earth.
Come to me now,
My wonderful,
Wonderful creature.
Come to me now.
Who turns up for you?
What do they look like?
What is their name?
Do they have a name?
And what different elements do they embody?
Air and fire,
Earth and fire,
Water,
What are they embodying?
Now are they shy to see you?
Do they want to see you?
Do they want you to be around them?
Or is there something you need to say or do to make them feel safe around you and possibly you safe around them?
Do that now.
Now every mythical creature is said to guard wealth,
Treasures,
Sometimes gold.
But that wealth or treasure may not just be something physical as we might see it.
It may be a portal.
It may be a vision into another world.
It may be something that you couldn't even imagine.
So I want you to go with your being,
Your creature now,
Whether you need to swim with them or climb with them or climb on their back,
Whatever you need to do.
Just for a moment allow them to show you the wealth that they are holding for you.
It's your wealth,
Your awareness.
But it's also something bigger than you.
In terms of it may be a vision you would never even imagined on your own.
Go with them now for the next few moments.
Where are they taking you?
What is the wealth,
The magic that they may be showing you?
They're showing you this gift.
They're giving you this opportunity.
So ask them what do I need to do to allow this to be more permanent in my life?
Not to possess it,
Not to own it,
But how do I have this experience in a more permanent way?
And then listen to their answer.
And what else do you need from me?
Ask your being what else do I need?
What else do you need from me so that I might honor you?
And now it's time to thank your mythical being for coming towards you.
If you wish they can become a very small size if possible and then you can perhaps put them somewhere on your body like a token,
A remembrance.
What part of your body do they fit into so nicely?
But this of course is just a small part of who they are.
They will remain in this place of mystery.
And you once again return on.
You get back onto your magic carpet and it takes off and leaves this place.
You fly high until you come to your beautiful nature place and it lands softly allowing you to step off.
And then to gently bring your awareness with all your thoughts and all your knowledge now back to the room where you are.
And as always I suggest that as you bring your awareness back you make sure that you write some notes so you don't forget what you received.
You can also repeat the exercise as often as you like.
And most importantly as you open your eyes and full awareness now you remind yourself that over the next three days you're really going to focus on this wonderful magical being,
This mythological creature and give them your attention so that they can continue to show you these wonderful areas and gifts that are present for you in your life.
