Reiki Drum Journey With Seven Sacred Directions

And so to prepare yourself,

You can allow yourself to become comfortable wherever you are.

You can do this lying down in whatever position supports you best.

Make sure that you're comfortable and won't be disturbed.

And you're in a safe,

Warm place where it's okay to go into trance.

And then come into yourself just aware of where your energy might have been up until this moment.

Inviting it to return to you.

Aware of your breath.

And aware of your body.

And turning your attention now to the East.

And opening yourself up to the energies of the East.

This is roughly the direction where the sun rises.

Corresponds to the element of air.

To the morning and to spring.

Invite those energies in now.

And allow yourself to be aware of your responses.

Thank you.

And then retaining your connection with the East.

Coming back to centre once more.

Aware of your breath.

Aware of your body.

And then sending your attention out to the South.

The direction of noon time.

And of the element of fire.

Opening yourself to those energies.

And inviting those energies in now.

Thank you.

And then retaining your connection to the South and to the East.

Come back to centre.

Notice your breathing.

And then extend your attention towards the West.

The direction of water and of the evening.

And invite those energies in now.

Noticing your own responses.

Interacting with that energy.

Thank you.

And then retaining your connection with the West,

The South and the East.

Come back to centre.

And then extend your attention to the North.

The direction of stone and of the night.

And invite those energies in now.

Noticing your own responses.

So you connect to that energy of the North.

Thank you.

And then retaining that connection with the North,

The West,

The South and the East.

Send your attention now downwards to the earth beneath you.

This strong,

Supportive,

Powerful earth which holds you safely.

And just open your awareness now to the earth,

Inviting that energy into you.

Thank you.

And then retaining your connection with the earth,

With the North,

With the West.

With the North and the West,

The South and the East.

Come back to centre.

And then extend your awareness upwards to the sky above you and the vast,

Open universe beyond that.

Inviting that energy in now.

And again,

Noticing your own responses as you mingle with this energy.

Thank you.

And then retaining your connection with the sky and universe,

With the earth below,

With the four directions.

Bring your attention now to your heart space,

To yourself.

And allow yourself to go deep inside to that inner space.

And notice how that is.

Thank you.

And now is a good time,

If you so wish,

To invite in any other energies that you would like to invite into your life.

To invite in any other energies that you would like to connect with,

To take with you on your journey.

So that might be ancestors.

It might be guides,

Totems or deities.

Any allied energies that you would like to work with you today,

You can invite them now.

Thank you.

And then remaining connected with all of those energies.

Imagine that growing in your heart space is a bright light.

It can be of any colour,

But you know that it's a healing and protective light.

And allow this light to expand and grow now.

Until it fills your whole body in a certain space outside your body,

So that you're in a glowing and protected egg.

And your intention is that only that which is useful to you may enter this light.

And that no harm may enter this space.

And you can ask those energies which you've just connected with to reinforce this,

If you like.

And then allow yourself to relax into the journey.
