Welcome,
Welcome.
As we begin this practice together,
I invite you to get comfortable,
To make any little adjustments,
To move,
To sway,
To yawn,
To stretch.
Gently closing our eyes and bringing our awareness to our breath.
As we inhale,
Noticing the expansion in our chest.
And as we exhale,
Relaxing,
Softly arriving into this practice together.
Bringing our awareness to how we are arriving,
In our bodies,
In our mind,
Energetically,
In spirit,
Without any judgement,
Without trying to fix or change.
Just honouring ourselves in this moment for how we are arriving,
Exactly as we are arriving.
Taking another deep inhale,
Making this be a really,
Really deep inhale.
We feel like we can't inhale anymore,
Inhale a little bit more,
A little bit more,
A little bit more and sighing that breath out nice and long.
Continuing to breathe in your own rhythm and just giving ourselves a few moments at the beginning of our practice to really arrive fully.
There's nowhere else to be,
There's nothing else to do.
And so we can relax into this moment,
Easing into this practice,
Bringing our awareness fully to ourselves,
How we are in this very moment.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
As we begin to soften,
Noticing the weight of our body as it meets the floor beneath us.
And beneath that,
Perhaps the building structures that we're in,
Or the ground that we sit on.
Beneath that,
Where the structure of the building meets the earth,
Further down into the earth itself,
Into the stone,
The grass,
The mud,
The dirt,
The roots.
Deeper still into the layers of the earth itself.
Deeper still into the core centre of the earth.
And feeling that connection move from our bodies,
Deep down into the earth.
Feeling ourselves connected,
Grinded,
Strong in this very moment.
Sensing the sacred energy of the earth,
Connecting in with the sacredness within ourselves.
Meeting and merging.
And if there's anything that you would like to release,
Any tension from your body,
Mind,
Energetically,
I invite you to release,
To soften,
To let go on your next exhale.
Deep into the earth,
Offering this tension,
This release to be renewed,
To be recycled with the sacredness of the earth itself.
And in return,
We call up the sacred energy from the earth into our bodies,
Into our mind,
Into our spirit,
Energetically expanding with our next inhale.
And as we exhale,
Releasing down,
Down into the earth.
As we inhale,
We expand through our body,
Our mind,
Our energy.
And as we exhale,
We root down.
More like that,
As we inhale,
We expand and grow and stretch out.
And as we exhale,
We release.
We let go.
We surrender to this very moment.
Knowing that whatever comes up in this practice together is exactly what needs to come up.
Knowing wherever we go is exactly where we need to go.
Knowing that we are fully sovereign in our body,
Our mind,
Our energy,
Continuing to breathe deeply.
And if it's in your practice to envision and sense into a bubble surrounding your energetic field,
I invite you to do so.
Noticing the color of this light of the bubble,
The globe,
The circle.
Noticing how it shimmers and shines,
How it glitters and sparkles.
And in this sacred container,
We feel a little bit more at ease.
This is a sacred space that will hold the energy that we are cultivating and calling in,
In this practice today.
Noticing any shifts,
Any changes that has already occurred as we begin to enter into this practice.
Softening once more into the earth beneath us.
Sensing into the safety and protection within this bubble.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
Relaxing our body.
Relaxing our mind and thoughts.
Relaxing ourselves energetically in our emotions,
In our energy levels.
And softening into this very moment.
Breathing deeply.
As the space that you're in begins to gently fade into the background,
The walls,
The ceiling,
The floor.
The sense of being in this space slowly fading.
And as it does,
You start to sense into yourself,
Lying or sitting on a luscious bed of green grass.
Feeling the softness of the grass beneath your body.
As the sacred energy of the earth beneath it rises up and supports and invigorates your whole entire being.
Feeling yourself really at ease.
Relaxing deeply.
Surrendering to the earth.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
Sensing into this familiar space within.
The sacred grove.
The sanctuary.
The familiar sense of being at home,
At peace.
Feeling into the sense of love that this place,
This space emanates.
And vibrates.
Perhaps you stand in this space and start to explore.
Surrounded by the ancient,
Wise,
Old trees.
Welcoming you into this space today.
Noticing the type of trees that they are.
Feeling into the energy that they provide.
Hearing the rustles and the tweets of the creatures and animals and birds that live in this forest.
That live in this sacred place.
And perhaps some of them even come out to greet you today.
Welcoming you into your sacred grove.
Noticing the time of day it is as the sun perhaps shines through the branches.
Or the moonlight shines gently with the stars twinkling above.
Feeling the wind blow gently across your skin and hair.
And feeling alive.
Feeling at peace.
Feeling the calling to be here in this practice today.
Knowing that there is a reason that you have been called here today.
You have felt the calling in your day-to-day life.
And you have followed that calling to this practice,
To this space,
To this inner sanctuary today.
So sensing into the emotions that are stirring.
The feeling of being alive in this moment.
The calling that is beckoning you into this practice.
Continuing to breathe deeply as you take a seat at the center of your grove.
And as you sit down,
You notice a figure starting to emerge.
You notice a figure starting to emerge from the trees.
As they slowly and confidently move towards you.
This figure comes with the energy of love.
There's a familiarity about how they walk.
How they look towards you.
Their face.
You feel a deep sense of respect.
Of awe.
Of love.
Like an old friend or family member.
As they approach you,
They greet you with open arms.
And they sit down beside you.
They have called you into this space today.
As they have guidance and wisdom that they wish to gift you.
And perhaps you know this guide.
And perhaps this guide is only just appearing in this life.
And if so,
They offer their name.
And they have something to tell you today.
As you move in this life path.
As you move with purpose.
They wish to bestow wisdom and offer clarity as they walk this path with you.
So opening your heart,
Your mind intuitively to receive this wisdom.
Releasing any force.
And just listening with an open heart and mind.
Allowing this transmission to channel through your heart,
Your mind,
Your spirit.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
You have a question now for this guide.
I invite you to ask it now.
As you receive the answer that you seek.
This guide also wishes to gift you a blessing.
And healing on your journey.
Opening yourself up to receiving this magic,
This medicine.
And moving in any way that feels good,
Both internally in this groove.
And also in this 3D space if your body needs to move or shift,
Yawn or stretch.
Receiving it fully,
Both in this internal groove and also in this 3D space.
As this medicine emanates and vibrates through both worlds.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
Moving and shifting.
Receiving with an open heart,
Open mind,
Open spirit.
Receiving this medicine that moves both into the past and also into the future.
As you receive it in this present moment,
It vibrates in multi-directions.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
The guide wishes to now offer you some wisdom on your next step.
As you move forward on this path.
Committed to growth and transformation.
Committed to the wisdom and medicine that you have received.
They offer guidance on your next step.
We're not constructing or forcing this next step with a rational thought and intellect.
We are allowing it to arrive to us from deep within.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
And sensing into this deep knowing.
Taking a deep,
Deep inhale.
And sighing that breath out nice and long.
As you offer deep thanks and appreciation to this guide that walks beside you in this lifetime,
On this path.
And with deep respect and gratitude,
You say your farewells.
Knowing that they are always here.
For support,
For guidance.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
As you begin to say your farewell to the grove itself.
Knowing that we can always return at any time.
This space is always open and available.
And accessible.
Offering deep gratitude to the energies and spirits of the grove.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
As the grove begins to gently fade into the background.
This sense of the 3D space that you are in starts to come back into your senses.
The walls,
The floor,
The ceiling,
The space itself,
The sounds beyond my voice.
The sense of clothes on your skin.
Taking a deep,
Deep inhale.
Making this the deepest inhale that you have done so far.
When you feel like you can't inhale anymore,
Inhale a little bit more,
A little bit more,
A little bit more.
And sighing that breath out nice and long.
Breathing deeply.
Offering deep gratitude to your body,
Mind and energy.
For making the time today to connect deeply in with yourself.
In with your inner wisdom.
Continuing to breathe deeply.
Starting to yawn and stretch and move gently.
And when you're ready in your own time,
You can gently open your eyes.
And so I invite you now to sit for a few moments either in contemplation.
Allowing our intellect to sit and integrate with the insights and the wisdom that we were gifted today.
Reflecting on the questions,
The answers that we received,
The wisdom itself.
Reflecting on our experience of being in this journey practice.
In whatever way that feels right.
It could be journaling.
It could be sitting in contemplation.
It could be drawing or expressing ourselves in whatever way feels good.
And so we are honouring this experience.
We are honouring this wisdom.
And we are honouring the next step that we were guided to take.
As an act of commitment to ourselves and to the growth and path that we are on.
Go raibh míle maith agat.
A thousand thank yous.
Grá agus beannachtaí.
Love and blessings.
