Welcome.
Spring is marked by the ancient holiday,
Ostara.
This is a time of balance,
Birth,
New beginnings,
And light.
I will be taking you on a guided journey of renewal.
Please find a comfortable spot to rest your body.
If possible,
Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly to remind you to breathe deeply.
Take a deep breath and close your eyes.
Let your body relax.
Imagine yourself in a lush green forest.
You are safe and alone except for the animals.
Notice the new green on the trees and plants around you.
There is a babbling stream that you can't see,
But you can hear its gentle sound and it relaxes you.
Take a deep breath and feel the balance energy of spring.
As you look around you,
You notice an ancient tree.
It has a large hole big enough for you to crawl through.
You decide to go through this tunnel to explore the other side.
Know that an animal will be awaiting you on the other side to guide you.
Take one last look around and crawl through this dark but safe passage.
As you step through to the other side,
Take note of the guide or guides that wait for you.
Look around you and notice the change in the forest.
It somehow seems more alive than the last.
Take a deep breath,
Smile and bow to your guide.
Your guide begins walking at a pace you can follow or flying at a distance you can follow.
Follow your guide as it takes you through the forest.
Notice the new life,
The eggs,
The baby animals,
The buds and the flowers on the plants and trees.
Your guide takes you to a stream.
It is clear,
Fresh and gentle.
Your guide encourages you to plunge your hands into the cool water and remove what you find there.
As you plunge your hands in,
You feel what feels like an egg in the stream.
You grasp it and you pull it out and you see this white egg in front of you.
Feel the egg in your hands.
Notice its texture and weight.
Hold your egg and know that it will help you hatch a new whatever it is in your life that has become stale or stagnant.
Hug the egg close to your body,
Close to your heart space and imprint your ideas for renewal upon it.
You may whisper your ideas.
You may imagine writing your ideas.
You can draw a picture on the egg of your ideas.
Do whatever feels right to you.
Where in your life do you need something fresh and new?
As you look up from your egg,
You notice a nest,
A nest that is just the right size for your precious egg.
You know this is a safe place for your desires.
Gently place your egg in the nest and thank it for working to hatch your changes.
Your animal guide is letting you know that it is time for you to return.
As you turn from the nest,
A bird comes to the nest and settles down upon your egg.
Smile at this bird and thank it for its energy.
Your work is now done.
Your guide takes you back through the forest and somehow you know the way as well.
Take note of the beauty of spring.
You walk back to the ancient tree with the tunnel.
You take one last deep breath.
You turn to your spirit guide and you thank this kind animal for taking you to find your egg.
And now you crawl through the tunnel.
You step out of the tunnel and return to the original forest.
But now you are different.
You have released your desires for renewal into the universe.
Smile.
Your work is done.
Slowly listen to the sounds around your physical body.
Slowly open your eyes.
May your desires for renewal manifest.
Namaste.
