Shaman's Flute: Open to Receiving
This is for all the Givers; the beautiful souls who give so much, every day, who sometimes forget that receiving is as important a spiritual practice as giving.
Transcript
This visualization is for all of the givers,
All the beautiful souls who give so much every day and sometimes forget that receiving is as important a spiritual practice as giving.
As you begin to relax and settle in,
See if you can allow this moment to be a gift.
These words,
This music,
This flow of divine energy,
These are for and about you.
You do and give so much.
Can you allow your heart to open and receive this moment as a spiritual thank you?
And let's begin.
Take a deep cleansing breath.
As you inhale,
Imagine that cleansing breath traveling all the way through your body,
Cleansing all the way down to your toes.
And as you exhale,
Exhale completely as if you're breathing out every bit of old,
Stale energy.
Inhaling deep cleansing breaths,
Exhaling old energy that no longer serves you,
Creating space for fresh,
Vibrant renewal.
Feel your muscles let go and relax.
Breath moving easily in and out.
Your body feels heavy and your mind begins to still.
With every breath,
Feeling more and more relaxed.
With every breath,
Feeling more and more relaxed.
With every breath,
Feeling more and more relaxed.
And now imagine that you were walking through a dense forest.
It is night and the path before you is lit by moonlight.
This place is known to you.
You feel safe and at peace.
And in the distance you hear the soft call of an owl as you make your way deeper and deeper into the forest.
And as you make your way confidently through the trees,
Feeling the soft earth beneath your feet,
See yourself stepping between two tall trees.
And notice that you find yourself in a clearing.
The moonlight shines brightly on a wide open space.
In the center of the clearing,
You see a circle of stones and logs laid for a fire.
As you move closer,
You hear the sound of a flute.
And as the flute plays,
A brilliant flame lights the fire.
Step closer,
Hold your hands out and feel the warmth of the fire.
And you feel the magic in the air.
And you feel the fire in the air.
The sound of music draws closer.
And you look across the fire through the smoke and flickering light and you see a figure standing in the firelight.
You sense great power and wisdom.
You are filled with a sense of peace.
As you watch,
The figure again plays his flute.
You feel the wind rise and swirl around you.
The wind is like swirls of light,
Like ribbons of color dancing around you.
Feel the wind in your face and hear it moving through the trees.
Allow yourself to open to this experience.
Open all of your senses wide open to receive.
What do you feel?
What do you hear?
What do you see?
What can you smell?
What can you taste in this moment?
Open your sixth sense.
What do you know in this moment?
Can you recognize that you are being given a gift?
Can you open and receive all that is being given?
Can you relax and simply say yes to all the wonderful things that you deserve?
Say yes.
Yes.
Allow yourself a gentle smile as you realize how good it feels to embrace something that is just for you and you alone.
You are being acknowledged not just for all that you do and all that you give,
But for all that you are.
In this moment you are being offered peace,
Love and contentment.
Picture yourself opening your arms to let the wind lift you,
To let the music fill you,
Cleanse you,
Renew you.
With every moment that you allow yourself to receive,
To say yes,
You are strengthening and strengthening,
Renewed and empowered,
Allowing you even more capacity to give,
Contribute and express your unique gifts into the world.
Say yes.
With your next breath gently bring your awareness back to your body,
Back to the support beneath you,
The room around you and whenever you are ready open your eyes feeling refreshed and at peace.

This really helped me return to my heart and realize that shedding of the old to make way for the new (gifts, blessings, experiences) is what I need to focus on.

Thanks, Bethany. It has been several years since I first heard this beautiful meditation of renewal when I had a most intriguing response that has remained with me. Todayβs experience was different, of course, but energizing, which is most appreciated. Thank you for the beautiful work you do and your many offerings on Insight Timer! Judithπβ€οΈ

I allowed myself to receive the gift of knowledge. A knowing that the peace I seek is already inside me. I also saw I have parts that felt they needed to justify receiving and then I let go of that and accepted the unconditional love you were offering. Thank you.
