I invite you to sit back and close your eyes.
As we relax our bodies and clear our minds in preparation for our journey.
Let's begin by taking three deep breaths.
Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Allow your body to relax more and more each time you breathe.
Breathing in healing,
Love,
And light.
And breathing out all the stress and worry from your body.
As we continue to breathe.
We'll begin to focus on relaxing our bodies.
Let's start at our feet.
Focusing on your feet as you breathe.
Feel your feet relax.
Feel all the tension.
Draining out of your feet.
This feeling of relaxation.
Continues up your legs and thighs as they begin to relax.
As you continue to breathe,
Focus on your lower back.
Feel it relax Breathing in and out.
Continue to relax your body.
Feel all the tension.
Leave your upper back and shoulders.
Feel your arms and hands relax.
Feel your neck and your face relax.
Feel your whole body fully relax.
See yourself fully relaxed.
Now let's empty our minds.
As thoughts arise.
Think of them as leaves floating on a stream.
Allow them to slowly float away from you.
These thoughts become fewer.
And fewer.
Until soon there are no more leaves.
Just clean.
Clear.
Flowing water.
You find yourself.
Sitting in a large open field.
Surrounded by a forest.
It is night.
And above you the stars shine brightly.
The moon peeks out from behind the clouds.
As you sit gazing up at the stars.
Fiery arrows begin to fly across the sky.
You watch as each flaming arrow.
Lands perfectly.
On the unlit torches that surround the grassy field.
As they land.
They ignite the torches.
Shooting flames into the air.
The torches glow brighter and brighter.
And you begin to take in your surroundings.
You see you are in the middle of a battlefield.
There are swords and shields lying on the ground discarded.
The ground is burnt and scarred.
There are no bodies here.
That there was definitely.
An epic battle fought not long ago.
A woman walks out of the trees that surrounds the battlefield.
She is breathtakingly beautiful.
Her skin glows in the torchlight.
She holds a golden bow.
And you see she has a quiver of arrows slung across her back.
She sees you and rushes over to where you sit.
Her face lights up as she smiles down at you.
She holds out her hand and you take it.
She pours you up.
And slinging her bow across her back takes your other hand.
Welcome,
Sister,
" she says,
Looking into your eyes.
I'm so excited to see you here.
Walk with me.
You can tell this was quite a battle,
Can't you?
She gestures to the battleground.
I know you understand a thing or two about battles.
You've had to fight quite a few in your lifetime.
Some of them with yourself.
I brought you here tonight.
To remind you.
That you are brave.
You may feel weak at times.
But there is a strong warrior inside of you.
That is ready to fight any new battle that comes your way.
I also want you to understand.
And what the enemy is.
Things aren't always as they seem.
Choose your battles wisely.
And know.
You don't fight alone.
Goddess Diana.
Hands you her bow.
And asks you to close your eyes.
I want you to think about the battle.
You are fighting right now.
It may be a battle.
With yourself.
As you fight your negative ego.
And struggle to walk a path.
Or discard parts of your negative thinking.
That are holding you back.
Maybe this battle is with a person.
For people in your life.
That you know you need to walk away from.
Or mend relationships with.
You may be battling literally for your life.
As you struggle to be healthy.
And take care of your body.
And your mental health.
Whatever battle you were fighting.
I want you to imagine.
That this battle has already been fought.
You are standing on the battlefield.
And it is over.
Not only is it over.
But you have won.
You are safe.
Healthy,
And victorious.
Now take a moment.
To imagine.
What your life will be like now.
That this battle has been fought and won.
You see yourself.
Walking off of the battlefield.
And into a field of wildflowers.
You feel a peaceful breeze.
A sense of calm washes over you.
Goddess Diana takes her bow from your hands.
She smiles at you.
And you look around seeing that the scene around you has transformed.
From the battlefield.
To a field of wildflowers.
The sun is rising.
And a new day is beginning.
I have something for you.
Goddess Diana says.
As she places a golden charm in your hand.
The charm is an arrow.
With a circle.
This charm is a reminder.
The arrow is a reminder that you are a strong warrior goddess.
And the circle.
Is a reminder.
That you don't have to face your battles alone.
You have a circle of goddesses.
To support you and help you on your journey.
Goddess Diana places her strong hands on your shoulders.
Remember.
That I am in your circle of goddesses,
And I too will help fight your battles.
And sister.
I'm an excellent shot.
She says winking.
Suddenly there is barking from the tree line beside the field.
Goddess Diana hugs you.
Goodbye,
Goddess.
I must leave.
The hunt is on.
Goddess Diana pulls her bow from her back and races into the forest.
You stand in the middle of the field.
Surrounded by fragrant wildflowers.
All by yourself.
But feel less alone than you ever have.
And now when you're ready.
Coming back into the room.
And bringing with you.
The energy.
Of Goddess Diana.
