Body scan.
For now.
All we're going to do is just be aware of where we are.
Just noticing where we are right now.
And perhaps taking three deep belly breaths to settle our body and mind.
Then becoming aware of the space behind the neck.
Feeling the length of the spine in our back.
And noticing the weight of our hips seated within our body.
Feeling the legs touch the ground,
Chair or bed.
And the arms hanging or placed wherever they are.
Bringing the attention to the texture of our clothes or blankets touching the skin.
Notice how the muscles feel,
Like they could just melt away into the face of the earth.
And sensing the space around the body,
The physical edges of ourselves,
The boundary of our being.
Where do we start?
And where do we end?
Just tuning into any feelings we might have in this moment.
Not needing to change or do anything about them,
Just being aware of how we feel right now.
And lastly,
In our own way,
Feeling the connection to the Earth and the support we gain from it.
Activating affirmation.
Let's do an affirmation that activates our potential for astral projection now.
You don't need to do anything,
Just listen and feel my words.
Today I activate my innate ability to astral project.
I give myself permission to do this soul expanding practice.
I hear the call to elevate into wider dimensions of myself and the world.
I embrace this with courage and curiosity.
I am willing to explore new places.
Far beyond my physical body,
Far beyond the boundaries of my own mind,
Far beyond any concept of limitation.
I am ready.
The challenge and transformation.
In this moment,
I allow a door to open within me to new worlds and new possibilities.
And I welcome in the guidance of the highest truth to aid this new adventure.
I do this from a place of love and compassion for the benefit of all beings.
Let's set an intention here.
For the mind to be awake and aware and for the body to become completely relaxed.
And maybe we could bring our personal motivation to mind,
Our purpose,
Our reason why we are practicing astral projection.
We allow our intention and our motivation to drop into our awareness like a pebble sinking in water.
Blanket Body Dissolution I'd like to invite you to bring a memory to mind.
Think back to a time when you were lovingly wrapped in a warm blanket.
Connect back to the sensations of being draped in its soft material,
Like a nice big hug.
Perhaps imagine that one of your ancestors wraps you up in a giant cosmic version of this cozy blanket.
It's so big,
So warm and so safe.
How does this feel?
This soft blanket begins to melt into you like sugar in a hot chocolate.
And as soon as it merges with you,
It begins to dissolve away your physical body.
Releasing any connection to it.
Allow this to happen.
Your ancestor is here if you need them.
Another blanket appears.
There are infinite cosmic blankets just for you.
And as each one appears and passes through you,
You feel the physical body less and less and less.
Notice how wonderful it is to be free from the physical constraints of the body.
You're safe and supported.
So you let this continual supply of warm blankets scoop you away from the physical world,
Which you can return to at any time you wish.
Take a minute or so to bask in your blankets.
Imagine each one dissolving sensation with the physical body.
You're becoming lighter.
And lighter.
And lighter.
Levitation Exit Technique You are feeling so relaxed and so at peace that you notice you are becoming very light.
Imagine that you are weightless,
Like your body is floating in clear calm water,
Becoming lighter and lighter.
It feels peaceful and safe,
So you let go.
You let go of anything that might be weighing you down.
Imagine these things are like sandbags dropping away from a hot air balloon.
Anything heavy just falls away now.
No need to carry it.
You can just set it down.
And let it go.
As you let go of these heavy things you become lighter and lighter.
Feel into how weightless you are becoming,
How free you are from these things.
You are so light now that you feel a sense of hovering an inch or two out of the body.
Remind yourself you feel safe and serene here.
As if you're floating on a beautiful cloud.
In fact,
Fluffy clouds are gathering under your arms,
Legs and hips.
Floating you just above the body which lies resting safely beneath.
Enjoy how relaxing this floating sensation is.
Knowing you are always connected to the body and you can return at any time.
You decide to float a little higher,
Gently drifting upwards like a feather on the wind.
Going with the flow,
You float higher and higher.
Tune into a sense of floating upwards.
What would this feel like if it was happening right now?
Higher and higher,
Becoming lighter and lighter.
So high now.
That you choose to have a look around.
You find yourself out of body and in a beautiful forest at night time.
The air is warm and the moon is high.
It casts light on the trees that line the path in front of you.
Owls call to each other from their homes and in the distance you see a fire burning.
Don't worry if you can't see this fire clearly,
Maybe you hear it,
Feel it or sense it in some other way.
You move towards this fire.
And as you get closer.
.
.
You notice people sat in a circle around it.
It's dark,
So you can't see their faces.
But deep down,
You know it's your ancestors.
Everyone is here and they're connected to you in some space or time.
They have come here to meet you.
As you enter the circle,
One of them stands up and throws something into the fire.
It's their ancestral experiences.
They are throwing in something they want to show you.
Any perceived wrongdoings that they may have done in their life or any traumatic events that they've been through that in some way may have affected you.
Or even being passed on to you.
As this fire burns,
Look closely and see your sense.
What it might be.
No needing to judge or make sense of it right now.
Just allow yourself to feel the feelings that arise when you witness your ancestors experience.
With love and acceptance,
I invite you to ask your ancestor a heartfelt question.
The answer may come in the form of an image,
A feeling,
An inner knowing,
Or in some other way.
If you'd like to do this.
Ask your question.
Now.
In your own way.
Thank your ancestor for their answer.
And if you haven't received one yet,
Know that in time,
At the perfect moment,
It will come.
Suddenly the fire flares up and as it burns away your ancestors experience,
It releases all traumatic ties to you.
All the pain,
All the fear and all the difficulty simply dissolves away.
Smoking into the night sky.
In the glowing embers of the fire,
Something catches your eye.
Something that wasn't there before.
A gif is left for you in the ashes.
It's a present from your ancestors.
The ashes are cool and safe to touch,
So you take a closer look.
If you'd like to,
You can reach in and take it out.
What is it?
Knowing that ultimately your ancestors experience has somehow served a purpose.
Gave you lessons and brought you here today.
Thank them for their gift and blessing.
If there are any parting words or gestures you would like to offer,
Say or do,
Do them now.
You notice an opening to a clear path at the other end of the fire.
You walk towards it away from your ancestors.
Knowing that if you need them,
They will be there to guide you.
The air is fresh and you feel nourished,
Cleansed and full of life.
As you walk down the path.
You look up at the stars and you realise we are all connected.
That everyone is an ancestor in some form.
And that Bayou taking the time today for healing has in some way affected everyone on the planet.
Doing this inner work heals not only you,
But also your ancestors.
Just by opening the door today.
You've began to heal your ancestral trauma.
Began to change your epigenetic fate.
And began to rewrite your reality.
With this in mind,
It's time to come home back to our beautiful bodies.
Take a deep inhale and allow the breath of you in the astral body to meet the breath of you in the physical body.
With each breath,
Bringing your awareness back to the physical world.
Anchoring back into the physical body and feeling the breath as it flows in and out of your lungs.
Flooding your being with life and vitality.
Feel these deep breaths begin to awaken your physical senses,
Your physical body,
Getting in touch with the physical world around you.
Bring your attention back to any sounds you can hear or things you can sense in your physical awareness.
Full awareness is back in the body now.
Settled in,
Calm and relaxed.
You might like to take a stretch or wriggle your fingers and toes.
And when you're ready,
Open in the eyes,
Knowing your ancestors will be there if you need them.
Always.
You
