Day five.
Planting intentions.
Welcome back to day 5 of the Red Portal.
Today we enter the creative energy of menstruation.
The quiet rebirth that follows release.
When the body has let go of the old.
A space appears.
An emptiness filled with possibility.
A soft opening where something new can begin.
Menstruation is not only an ending,
It is also a beginning.
A cyclical rebirth where the womb returns to its own power.
Not through ethic,
But through rhythm.
A quiet force that rises when you allow yourself to feel.
The block carries both release and beginning.
Of the cycles on alchemy.
The old dissolves,
And the new is given space.
This is where intentions can be planted.
Lettuce plants.
Parasites.
Something that calls to you from within.
Something that wants to grow in the rhythm of your psyche.
Today you plant the wish.
A longing that is already sprouting inside you.
Even before you place it in the air.
You do not need to push it.
You do not need to shape it.
You only need to give it space.
And let it grow on its own rhythm.
Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.
Sit comfortably.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
And slowly let it go.
Let your body sink into the surface beneath you.
Allow yourself to be heavy.
Lower your shoulders.
And let your thoughts drift by,
Like white clouds across a blue evening sky.
Feel that you are alive.
That your heart is beating.
Allow yourself to simply exist.
You do not need to change anything.
You are already in love.
Now,
Imagine that you are standing in a beautiful forest,
Surrounded by ancient trees.
It is late winter.
But the weather is mild.
The snow,
That once lay heavy over the landscape,
Has begun to melt.
Now gathered in scattered patches.
The path is solved with meltwater.
And the first tiny spring flowers pick up between the fallen leaves.
Waterfalls from the branches.
The sunshine.
And the light flickers between the bare trunks.
The world is waking up.
Spring is on its way.
You walk in quiet reflection.
You can feel how the forest welcomes you and opens your mind.
You belong here.
A quiet force awakens within you.
You feel fresh and alive.
Ready to receive everything life has to offer.
The new feel.
A longing in your heart draws you deeper into the forest.
You follow the path.
And eventually arrive at a cave at the foot of a great mountain.
Above the entrance is a stone tablet that reads,
The womb of Mother Earth.
This is a sacred place dedicated to the Great Mother.
Bleeding women have come here since the beginning of time to honor fertility and feminine power.
To set intentions.
To step into the creative energy of menstruation and to find wisdom and strength.
With longing,
You step inside the cave.
A white passage leads into the darkness.
Framed by tree roots and stone.
A soft darkness surrounds you and welcomes you.
It feels safe and warm.
Bioluminescent plants glow softly,
Guiding your way with green gold light.
You walk for a long time.
And with each step you sink deeper into the connection with the Great Mother.
At last you reach a small chamber in the Earth's interior.
Sunlight filters down through an opening in the ceiling.
Illuminating through.
And the center is a round stone bed.
Filled with photon soil.
On the edge stems.
A simple jug of water.
And beside it lies a small brown patch.
You open the pouch and see that it is filled with glowing seeds.
To pull them into your hand.
And immediately feel their power.
Their wish seeds.
Ready to sprout.
Your own energy responds to the seeds,
Rising through your body.
It is time to plant new intentions and begin again.
You are open and ready.
Take a moment now to feel your wish.
Notice the phone.
Not as a plant.
But as a quiet longing in your body.
Something that wants to emerge.
Something that calls to you.
Something already sprouting inside you.
When you are ready,
Choose one seed.
The one that feels like yours.
Then you kneel at the stone bed,
Make a small hollow with your fingers and place the seed gently into the earth.
You take the jug and water the seed lightly.
The water sinks into the soil,
Which receives it quietly.
Then you feel the last drop of menstruation,
The drop that carries release,
Wisdom and creative force.
To let it fall onto the earth as a blessing.
As an opening.
As a new beginning.
Rest here for a few minutes in what you have planted,
In their creative forms,
In spring feminine energy rising within you.
In the new that's on its way.
It is time to return home.
Thank great mother.
Thank you for listening.
And thank the Earth.
Of what you have been allowed to do.
Rise slowly and see that the seed has begun to sprout.
A small green stem has broken through the cells.
Promise of what is coming.
Something new has begun.
Walk quietly out of the chamber.
Back through the passage.
Past the glowing plants.
And art the key.
With each step,
Return a little more to your own body.
Walk through the forest until the silence follows.
All the way home.
Return gently to your body.
Feel where you rest against the surface beneath you.
Take a deep breath.
And slowly let it go.
When you are ready.
Open your eyes again.
Sit for a moment in silence.
And let the experience settle.
Take a moment to feel what is present.
Not to judge or change anything.
Only to observe and meet what is here with acceptance.
Feel your body as it is right now.
Perhaps there's risklessness.
Perhaps lightness?
Perhaps one day.
Whatever you feel,
Let it be enough.
Stay quietly within yourself.
New Saigon.
I welcome you.
Welcome to my body.
Welcome to my mind.
Welcome to my soul.
Welcome to my entire energy field.
Thank you.
You do not need to do anything more now.
The energy is already sprouting and will continue without your effort.
Stay here and rest for as long as you need.
When you feel ready.
Return to your day.
In your own rhythm.
Tomorrow we will complete the journey with day 6,
Where we gather the energy and close the cycle.
Thank you for planting new intentions with me today.
May you be rooted in your power and may faith and wonder guide your path.
