Aho and welcome.
Today I will be leading you on an upper world journey.
In the Andean traditions the upper world is known as the Hanuk Pacha.
We will be going to the first level,
The level of the mineral spirits,
The stone people.
For thousands of years,
Shamanic cultures have held the belief,
The understanding,
That all things have a spirit.
That these beings have wisdom,
Knowledge,
The ability to help and to heal.
The stone people are very old,
Very ancient.
There are many,
Many ways to work with the mineral world.
This journey is intended to help you connect on a deeper,
More conscious level with these magnificent beings.
You may have a stone or crystal that you know you would like to work with,
Or you may decide to travel to this realm and see what stone or crystal might wish to reveal themselves to you today.
You will be meeting with Pachacuti as well.
This is the Andean gatekeeper of the upper world.
The spirit is the keeper of the doorway between these worlds.
We should always try to be in sacred space when we journey.
We also state intentions and protections when we journey.
Let's begin with a deep cleansing breath.
Allow your body to begin to relax.
Roll your shoulders,
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Letting any excess energy gently drain out of the body.
Give yourself permission to release any pain,
Stray thoughts,
Or worry.
You begin to feel a wave of peace and contentment.
Move slowly up from the tip of your toes to the top of your head,
Like a gentle wave.
Another nice breath.
Feeling calm,
Peaceful,
Safe.
We will now state our intention and protection.
Please say these quietly to yourself in your mind.
My intention for this journey is to journey to the upper world,
To travel to the first level,
The level of the stone people,
To connect with the mineral spirit or spirits and your protection.
When I journey,
I may only be contacted by beings and energies of pure light and high vibration.
This restriction includes my ego.
When I journey,
I journey in the etheric realms.
One more nice breath.
Now in your mind's eye,
Allow your imagination to take you to a beautiful meadow in the middle of summer.
This is a place you have a deep resonance and connection to.
It is safe,
Calm,
Peaceful,
Sacred.
Reach out now with all of your senses to take in the beautiful energy that exists here.
The meadow is full of sunshine and wildflowers.
Watch the fluffy white clouds float across the deep blue sky.
You hear the soft droning of insects in the distance,
A brook bubbling nearby.
Feel the warmth of the sun upon your skin,
The smell of the earth and the wildflowers on the gentle breeze.
Feeling completely at peace and safe.
Breathing in the magical energy of this timeless,
Sacred space.
Look around the edge of the meadow now and observe the ancient stand of trees that surrounds this meadow.
Look to your left and notice a tall tree,
Much taller than all the others.
There is something special about this tree.
Walk over to it now.
This is a helping tree spirit who will assist you in moving to the upper world.
It has big sturdy branches that touch the ground.
It is so tall it touches the clouds.
Take a moment to greet this tree spirit and ask it to help you today.
Then step up onto the first branch.
You find yourself climbing easily and effortlessly.
Up,
Up,
Up,
Higher and higher.
The tree is helping you to move quickly,
Easily,
Safely.
You look down and notice the other trees now look very small and then up to see that the cloud people are just above your head.
As you stand on the uppermost branches of the tree,
You feel yourself being gently lifted up through the clouds until you find yourself standing firmly and safely on top of the cloud people.
In front of you is a ledge with a path.
You find the clouds begin to easily,
Safely drift you towards this path.
Step off of the clouds and on to this path.
Looking down this path you see someone approaching.
This is Pachacuti,
The gatekeeper of the upper world.
Take a moment to greet him and ask for permission to enter the upper world.
You begin to walk beside him and you come to a door.
Pachacuti opens this door and you step into the first level,
The level of the stone people.
There is ambient light.
As your eyes adjust,
You see it is a beautiful cave full of every possible type,
Mineral,
Stone,
Crystal.
All that have ever been and those yet to come.
Those that are from this planet and others who are from faraway places.
Look around,
Taking in your surroundings.
There is row after row,
Little nooks and crannies,
Endless choices.
The energy here is beyond words.
Let yourself be instinctively drawn in the direction in which the mineral spirit you are meant to connect with resides.
When you find one to work with,
Ask what it can teach you,
What you need to know,
How you can work with it.
Go,
Explore,
Discover.
Spend some time with these ancient beings.
I will give you a few minutes now.
I am right here waiting.
I will be back to get you.
Enjoy.
It is time now to begin wrapping up your work with this spirit.
I will give you a few moments to finish what you are doing.
Ask for any additional guidance or information the spirit may want to show you.
Remembering,
You may come back anytime you wish to connect again.
One more nice breath.
Now begin to walk back to the front of the cave where the door you entered through is located.
Noticing any other stone people who might wish to work with you in the future.
As you reach the door,
It opens for Pachacuti has been waiting.
Step out onto the ledge and follow Pachacuti towards the spot that leads down to the cloud people.
Say farewell to Pachacuti.
Give him your gratitude and your blessings.
Now step safely onto the clouds.
Allow them to gently take you to the place where you know the tree helper is waiting to assist you.
You find yourself being gently lowered down through the clouds and feel your feet touch the uppermost branches of the tree.
You quickly,
Easily,
Effortlessly move down,
Down,
Down.
Closer and closer to the ground and the meadow as the tree spirit helps you descend.
Down,
Down,
Down,
Until your feet touch the earth,
The meadow.
One more nice deep breath.
Slowly allow yourself a gentle entrance back into your body.
Flex your toes,
Gently stretching.
Move your body as you take a deep breath and slowly open your eyes.
You are now back in the middle world,
The Cape Hacha,
The physical realm,
The land of humans.
Welcome back.
You may want to journal your experience for as in dream time,
Details are often forgotten later.
It is a great honor to hold space for you as you explore this realm.
Many blessings to you on this day.
Aho.
