Transcript

The Hierophant is a symbol of spiritual guidance,

Mentorship,

And the pursuit of knowledge.

It represents the wisdom of tradition,

The power of institutions,

And the importance of structure and order in our lives,

As well as the connection between spiritual principles and everyday living.

In this exercise,

We will use active imagination to help you integrate the wisdom of the Hierophant and gain insights into your inner world.

To find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down,

Take a couple of deep breaths.

Just allow the body and the mind to come to a natural place of rest.

Just keep your attention on the breath for now.

If at any point you do get distracted,

Just bring your attention back to the exercise.

And now,

Imagine yourself standing in the main hall of a grand temple.

At the far end of the hall sits a wise and serene figure,

Representing the Hierophant.

Approach the Hierophant and allow the image of them to form in your mind.

Now,

Ask the Hierophant for guidance.

You could ask about your spiritual practice,

Your role as a mentor or guide,

Or for practical wisdom about how to approach an issue in life.

Listen carefully to the insights and advice that the Hierophant shares with you.

The Hierophant leads you on a journey through the temple,

Showing you the many symbols and teachings that are held within its walls.

Choose an item that resonates with your spiritual path,

Or a particular area of knowledge you wish to explore.

Take a moment to examine the item you have chosen.

Look closely at its features and feel the energy emanating from it.

The Hierophant offers you a symbol or a mantra to help guide you on your spiritual journey.

Accept this gift and internalize its meaning.

Thank the Hierophant for their guidance and the gifts received.

Allow the energy and insights to stay with you as you leave the temple.

As you go about your daily life,

Notice how performing this exercise changes your relationship with spirituality,

Mentorship and organization.

So just bringing your attention back to the room now,

Noticing any sounds or sensations.

Take a deep breath and opening your eyes again in your own time.
