In this visualisation you will meet with your unique expression of the sun archetype,
Which is embodied in tooth number three,
Your upper right first molar,
Or the space where that tooth would be.
Before we start,
Take a moment to get in a really comfortable position,
Sitting or lying,
Whatever feels best right now.
When you feel settled,
Close your eyes.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose,
Feeling your lungs fill,
Your belly rise,
And then fall as you breathe out through your nose,
Feeling warm air trickle across your top lip.
Follow another breath all the way in,
And all the way out.
Continue slow,
Steady breathing.
With your tongue,
Or just your attention,
Touch your upper right first molar,
Or the space near the back of your mouth where that tooth would be.
It's third from the back if you have a wisdom tooth there,
Or second from the back if there is no wisdom tooth on the upper right.
With relaxed curiosity and an open mind,
Invite the essence of your upper right first molar,
The sun archetype,
To meet with you.
In the heart of the sun tooth lies the source of the energy you bring to making a living.
It holds the beliefs you have about work and money.
So now,
Imagine a tiny spark of golden light glowing faintly inside your tooth.
Breathe into it gently,
Like you are blowing on an ember.
Feel that light growing bigger and glowing brighter until it is filling the whole tooth,
And then beyond.
Feel how that whole inside of your mouth is illuminated by this tiny spark of sunshine centered in the back of your mouth.
Let the golden light shimmer like a heat mirage.
In the blur and shine,
Observe flickers of images,
Memories,
Feelings,
Shimmering into the foreground.
With relaxed curiosity,
Allow your imagination to start making meaning from the flickering movement.
Your unique expression of the sun archetype starts to emerge from the heart of this tooth,
An image coalescing in the light.
Look at it closely.
Notice its size,
Its shape,
Its colors.
Does it have a texture?
Does it have an age?
Notice its attitude.
How does it move?
How does it react when it notices your attention?
Is it a version of you in the past,
The present?
Or the future?
Or is it something else?
Offer your sun archetype thanks for showing itself to you in the light today.
How does it respond to your gratitude?
What do I need to know,
Or do,
Or change in order to be healthy?
Let's allow some space for it to respond in words,
Images,
Or feelings.
Now it's your turn to communicate with the sun.
Archetype.
What do you want your tooth to understand about your needs and desires?
Try showing or telling the archetype what you want your life to be like,
Especially in terms of purpose and livelihood,
Work and money.
Again,
I'll pause for a few minutes so it can really hear you.
Pay attention to how the archetype responds.
When it feels like that's enough for now,
Thank the sun archetype sincerely for meeting with you,
And say farewell knowing that you can return to meet in its radiant light again whenever you want.
Allow the light to concentrate back into a tiny spark inside your tooth,
And then expand your attention outwards into the here and now of your body,
And take a deeper breath.
Wriggle your fingers and toes.
Stretch your arms and legs,
And open your eyes when you are ready.
Look around the space that you are in,
Finding something pleasant to rest your attention on for a moment.
You might like to take a few minutes now to journal about what you saw and learned while meeting with the sun archetype of your upper right first molar,
Before you forget.
I'd love to hear about your experience,
So feel free to share about it in the Secret Lives of Teeth discussion group on Insight Timer.
