Transcript

We begin by getting comfortable in your seat.

Feet flat on the ground,

Hands resting comfortably in your lap,

Or if you prefer on the floor,

Crisscross applesauce is fine.

And begin to get connected to the breath.

Breathing in through the nose,

Expanding the chest and belly,

Holding for a count of three,

And exhaling through the mouth.

Doing that for a few cycles,

Signaling the body to begin to relax.

As you begin to breathe naturally,

I invite you to bring your mindful awareness to each of the body parts that I mentioned,

And in doing so,

Releasing any tension in that area.

Envisioning a softening or a letting go,

A releasing of any static,

And bringing your awareness to the top of your head.

Releasing any tension,

Letting go,

Softening the back of your head and the back of your neck,

The upper shoulders where most of us hold some tension,

Releasing,

Softening,

Letting go.

Down the arms to the hands and the tips of the fingers,

Bringing your awareness to your face and all the tiny facial muscles across the brow,

The eyes,

The nose,

Cheeks,

Mouth,

Chin,

Just softening the face.

Moving to the throat area and releasing any tension there.

In the back,

The upper back,

Middle,

Lower.

Bringing your awareness to your chest and your belly,

Releasing any tension there.

And if a thought comes in,

No need to resist it,

No need to grab hold,

Anything important you will remember when it's needed.

You are the mindful observer,

It's just a thought.

Nothing more,

Allow it to move on by like a slideshow.

Coming back to the now,

The present,

The you.

And with the sound of my voice and the sound of the music,

You'll go to a deeper level of relaxation.

Any external sounds in the room or beyond will not disturb you,

They'll just seem farther and farther away as you go deeper and deeper.

And bringing your awareness to your hips and your thighs,

Releasing any tension there.

Moving down the legs to the knees,

Shins,

Calves,

Ankles,

Feet,

All the way to the tips of the toes.

Really relax now.

And now that you've allowed your physical body to relax,

Your spirit has some wiggle room and it's time to journey.

Journey beyond the space and time to another plane of existence where only peace,

Love and well-being resides and you are free and safe to explore.

Now envision yourself sitting on a comfortable white couch in a glass house in the middle of the woods somewhere.

It is like a vacation spot.

It is a sunny day.

No one around for miles,

A big blue sky.

You're facing out toward the woods and taking in the beauty of nature.

As you are peacefully enjoying the scenery,

A large white owl lands on the tree limb just on the other side of the glass wall.

So close that you can make out all the details of this extraordinary bird and it is looking straight at you.

It begins a rotation of flying away briefly and then returning and landing at the same spot.

It seems to be beckoning you.

So you rise and step outside.

This extraordinary owl begins to lead you to a pathway into the woods.

You feel safe to follow,

Flying just ahead of you and then landing until you catch up.

This stunning owl is only one of three guides you will meet that will lead you along a very special pathway to a spiritual mystical place,

A maze,

A circular pathway that is connected with a network of passages in four distinct areas,

Each one leading to another and to the center.

It is simple and yet elaborate in its design and execution.

Stone slabs that act as stepping stones,

Sacred herbs,

Flowers and plants adorn the pathway,

Statuary of all kinds that resonate just for you,

Possibly angels,

Buddhas,

Mother Mary,

Ganesha or any type of symbolic statuary that speaks to your heart and beliefs.

There are massive crystals of many varieties in natural form and in shapes.

Clear quartz,

Amethyst,

Lapis,

Selenite and more.

This is known as a labyrinth,

A very special labyrinth as it leads you to meet your spirit guides.

However,

There are things to know.

It is important to understand that you must release any attachment to outcome,

Eliminate any grasping or need to have an outcome because the energy that is produced from this wanting is the very thing that will block the connection.

Surrender and give yourself permission to have whatever experience is meant to unfold.

This white owl that represents wisdom,

Good judgment and knowledge continues to play with you,

Leading you farther and farther into the woods,

Along the pathway of elevated consciousness.

With its sharp vision and strong intuition,

You feel completely safe in its guidance.

Up ahead in the distance,

You see a cave off to the left,

And a large magnificent black panther gradually exiting and walking toward you.

The owl flies over to the panther and lands on its back as if to say,

Tag you're it,

Or handing off the baton in the game of relay.

This strong yet gentle feline specimen acknowledges you and you feel that it is inviting you to ride for a while on its back.

You climb on this glorious animal and you instinctively feel the power and protection.

The panther guardian is here to represent courage and determination as you continue on the pathway into the woods to the labyrinth,

Deeper and deeper into the woods,

Feeling more peaceful,

More relaxed,

Step by step,

Deeper and deeper.

Unlike the owl,

The panther is slow and steady,

Confident,

Nurturing and loving as you are carried towards your destination,

Step by step,

Deeper and deeper.

As you and the panther turn along the pathway,

Arcing off to the right,

There is a hill and atop the grassy mount is a stunning gray wolf.

Even from this distance,

You can feel the loving kindness emanating from this animal that values community and family.

This wolf represents freedom and wisdom,

Which is activated with its spirit for your personal and spiritual journey.

The panther stops as the wolf has met you down along the way to take you the rest of the way.

The panther departs just as the owl almost instantaneously as you walk alongside the wolf.

With each step,

You are more peaceful,

More relaxed,

Step by step,

Step by step,

More peaceful,

More relaxed,

Step by step.

Soon the pathway ends and an opening,

A clearing that is also the entrance to the massive labyrinth.

The wolf shows you the way and you feel the wisdom from all three of your animal guides.

Courage,

Wisdom,

Strong intuition,

Protection and determination and to remember to surrender to the moment,

The experience,

The journey.

You take your first step into the labyrinth and instantly the wolf disappears and you feel that you have entered another plane of existence,

Where this most profound love is felt with every cell of your body,

Where you instantly understand that you are not your body,

You are not your mind,

But you are pure spirit and you are more powerful and more expanded than you have ever realized or believed.

With each step,

Going deeper and deeper,

More peaceful,

More relaxed,

Having more understanding of the sovereign being that you truly are,

With each step becoming more aware of the expanded senses and support system that you have from the non-physical world.

Step by step,

More relaxed.

It is now time for you to take your journey on your own,

Exploring the passages,

Knowing that you will never be lost as each pathway leads you exactly where you are meant to go and at the center of the labyrinth,

You will find a simple and single bench in which to sit and surrender.

Set your intention here,

To meet a spirit guide,

To communicate with God creator,

The divine universe spirit,

To receive guidance from Christ consciousness or your higher self,

Whatever your intention,

It is yours.

Set it and release it and just be and I will call you back when it is time to begin your journey back.

It is time to begin your journey back,

Knowing that you can return back here anytime you desire,

Giving thanks for your experience and for whoever may have greeted you.

Slowly,

Slowly,

Beginning to return back along the pathway in the labyrinth,

Knowing exactly which way to go that will return you back to where you originated.

Step by step,

Returning back,

Slowly,

Slowly,

Along the pathway in the labyrinth until you reach the entrance and the exit.

Slowly,

Returning back along the pathway in the woods and your guides have returned the owl,

The Panther,

The wolf.

Traveling with you alongside you as you return back to the glass house.

Step by step,

Returning back,

Step by step,

Feeling more peaceful,

More relaxed,

More empowered,

More joyful.

Step by step,

Returning back.

As you return back to the glass house,

Your animal friends bid you adieu and disappear.

You enter the glass house and return back to the white couch.

Slowly,

Slowly,

Returning back and beginning to return back to this space in time,

Back to where you originated,

In your body,

Grounded back,

Feeling amazing,

Peaceful,

Energized,

Wiggling your fingers and your toes,

Taking a nice deep breath,

And only when you're fully present and back in the body.

Open your eyes.
