Take a moment to get comfortable and affirm your intention for this journey with us.
Breathe in.
Are you ready?
You are walking through the marketplace of a small farming village.
Marketeers are huddled under their stalls to escape the rain.
Your raincoat is keeping you warm and dry from the elements.
You move on through as you follow the path to the edge of the village.
You are standing within a small valley.
Towering above you in all directions are majestic snow tipped mountains.
Begin now to follow the small path before you as it meanders its way through the foothills.
Through the haze of rain you can just about see your destination,
The mountain monastery.
Walking upward you see sunlight emerging from behind the parting clouds.
You now up the steady incline.
Ahead of you the path divides into a number of directions.
To the left the path winds through a rocky trail.
The vegetation becomes more sparse as exposed rock protrudes through the landscape.
In front of you you notice an opening in the rock face.
You are surprised by how well lit it appears.
The entry to the cave is large and you discover you can comfortably stand as you walk.
There is a magical light coming from within the rock,
Almost lighting the way just for you.
You come to a divide in the path.
Take the left fork.
You look down to see you are no longer walking on rock but thick luscious grass.
You are standing in an underground ecosystem.
The trees around you stand tall with otherworldly indigo coloured leaves.
Intrigued by their mysterious beauty you watch as a leaf falls.
It glides through the air towards you.
It is not a leaf at all but a majestic butterfly.
With each flap of its wings the colours on the butterfly appear kaleidoscopic,
Reflecting every colour of the rainbow.
As it draws near you offer your hand.
It softly perches on your palm.
To increase the clarity of your inner perceptions and open your awareness further,
Mentally repeat this to yourself.
I perceive clearly.
My inner sight is sharp,
Vibrant and limitless.
Now look at the butterfly on your hands once more.
Believe it in this new way.
It takes flight once more and you look upward to the tree.
Every leaf on the tree takes flight.
Butterflies flutter all around you in a beautiful cascade of colour.
They fly upwards towards an opening high in the rock face.
And just like that they are gone.
You continue on into the tunnels.
As you walk once again you notice that magical glow from the walls lighting your way.
The light shoots down the tunnel and stops ahead of you,
Pulsing in a pattern of excitement.
It has found something for you.
As you approach you see a glowing portal in the stone wall of the tunnel.
Beyond the portal is a place you've been before.
A special place beyond the physical earth,
Yet a place of familiarity and comfort.
Open your awareness to the experience and begin to step through the portal.
See what beauty is there for you.
There you will find Britt.
Come back through the portal now.
It is time to return.
You can always come back to this place.
You are now back in the cave.
The tunnel continues ahead of you.
As you wind round the corner,
You see daylight ahead.
Inhale the fresh mountain air and make your way out.
The monastery is now before you.
It oversees the surrounding valleys from its mountainous vantage point.
As you near the front entrance,
You see there is much to explore within.
An octagonal temple of worship reaches for the sky.
Beyond the buildings,
You observe some fine ornamental gardens.
The vegetation within the monastery is rich for this elevation.
A number of trees provide welcome shade from the sun.
Monks in deep red robes stroll the grounds.
One such monk nods as you pass.
He gestures for you to follow him.
He leads you to a small wooded garden via a path which is covered with wildflowers.
The more you walk,
The richer and more varied the flowers become.
The path opens up to a leafy glade.
Before you is a tree unlike any you have seen before.
From its short,
Tangled vine-like trunk,
Large branches streak out in every direction.
At the base of the tree is a small nook ideal for inner reflection.
With a sense of reverence,
You draw closer to the tree.
Place your hand on the smooth trunk and breathe deeply.
Feel into its life force.
It has much wisdom to offer.
Sit down in the meditation spot,
Allowing your back to connect with the tree.
Through meditation,
You can receive answers to questions you may have.
Let's explore this now.
When I state the question,
Repeat it mentally to yourself with a sense of deep gratitude and then release it out into your awareness and wait for an answer to come back to you.
Information can come to you through any of your senses.
Be open to whatever arises.
Here is the question.
What is the true nature of my being?
Ask the question clearly and wait for a response.
What is the true nature of my being?
What is the true nature of my being?
Thank the tree for its offering.
You rise and begin back on the path.
In a few moments,
We will begin our return back to full waking reality.
In front of you,
The exit door forms.
On the other side of it is full waking consciousness.
As I count from five to one,
Begin your return back to full alertness.
Five.
Move towards the door and hold the handle.
Begin to sense into your physical body.
Four.
You feel the toes in your physical body begin to move now.
Three.
Open the exit door.
You feel the light of your room through your closed eyelids.
Two.
Begin to step through the door.
You can hear the exterior sounds of your room more prominently now.
One.
Now through the door fully,
Back to waking consciousness.
Open your eyes and move your body.
And this concludes your journey.
