Hello.

In this meditation we'll be going on a bit of a visual journey.

The purpose of this is so that we might use our imaginations through our breathing to create and enter into a world where we might contact and absorb some of the love that is available from the animals that surround us in spirit.

So if you're sitting or lying comfortably,

I really welcome you just to have a little wiggle.

Just make sure that you're nice and comfortable and we'll begin.

So breathing in and breathing out.

Breathing in and breathing out.

Breathing in and breathing out.

So knowing that you're nice and protected,

Feeling nice and calm,

We'll begin to paint the picture of our journey together.

It's a wonderful sunny day.

The sweet smell of the blossoming trees hits your nose and you feel its scent gently kiss your whole body.

You find yourself walking upon the grass.

The buzz of insects in the air.

The sun high in the sky.

Giving life and resonating with all that you see around you.

As you walk,

You become aware of a grand old oak tree in the distance.

You feel magnetically drawn to it and suddenly you find yourself on a direct course.

Walking with each step being drawn closer to that grand oak and the wisdom it holds.

You see not only the tree,

But the energy and the life that it consists of.

You're aware of its strong trunk.

Its glorious green leaves that give life to all the birds and insects that find home in its branches.

And you can see and you're aware of all of the roots below that go deep,

Deep into the ground amongst the worms and the insects and the rich soil from which it draws up and gives birth to its leaves above.

You feel welcome by this tree.

You stand in front of its strong trunk and you become aware of a door.

A door with a handle that's built into the trunk of the tree.

You can hear the tree welcoming you to step forth.

You put a hand on the handle and you open the door.

Revealed to you is a staircase.

A spiral staircase that goes deep,

Deep down into the earth.

Again,

The tree talks to you and welcomes you to take this journey.

With your first step into the doorway of the tree,

You feel your mood change.

You are aware that you're in the presence of great earthly wisdom.

And with each step down,

You leave a part of yourself upon those stairs.

With each step down,

You leave on that step a part of your worry,

A part of your concern,

A part of your fear.

With each step down,

You are released back to the being that you are,

Back to the human and the animal that you are.

With each step down,

We are remembering.

We are simplifying.

And with each step down,

We find our truth.

Gently we descend all the steps until finally,

After twisting round and round,

Down and down,

We become aware of a silver light shining up the staircase.

And as we finally get to the bottom and see the opening and the silver light is shining in upon us,

We step out into the most brilliant cave full of crystals and shining metals held in the air.

It's as if another sun exists down here,

The sun of the earth,

The light and love that the earth holds in its rocks and its core.

We become aware of this and we feel welcomed.

Fear is not something that presents itself in this space.

And we walk towards the middle of the cave as we feel beckoned to.

There we see a bench.

A bench made of the most beautiful rose quartz,

Giving off this pink,

Golden vibration.

We take a seat and feel our bodies gently absorbed and transformed by this warm pink glow.

In front of us,

We can't quite clearly see.

This is a place,

A viewing mirror between two worlds,

That of our world and that of the spirit world of the animals.

You are guided by the cave and told to hold the intent as an animal might present itself with lessons for you.

You are told that it doesn't matter whether this animal is of the land,

Sea or the air.

Those practicalities don't exist down here and it is the spirit and the being of the animal that will present itself.

Holding the intent in your heart and welcoming the lesson and guidance for you,

A form starts to appear out of that unclearness in this cave.

And slowly the lines become clearer.

The form starts to present itself and the animal that has presented itself to you draws itself close until it is right in front of you.

You become aware of its eyes,

Its big striking loving eyes.

And with the sound of the bowl,

You're going to spend some time here.

I welcome you to get lost in those eyes,

Feel the love and feel the lessons that are held for you.

Now having felt that love and compassion,

That that animal showed to you as you gazed into its eyes,

You become aware that now is the time to begin your return.

Bow your head slightly to the animal and give your thanks.

Even as the animal steps away,

It bows its head to you and offers its thanks also.

Slowly it turns,

Walking away from where you're sat upon the bench,

Back into the ether,

Back into the mist.

You look around this cave again and see all of its splendor,

The light and its radiance twinkling.

And you're aware once again that rose quartz bench upon which you're sat,

Feeling that very hearty and warm,

Loved,

Filled vibration.

You stand up now and you see the door from when you came.

And you can see the golden sunlight shining down that spiral staircase,

Welcoming you back to the surface.

With each footstep out of this cave,

You give thanks and feel its love and know that you can return whenever you wish.

You put your first foot upon the stairs as you begin to climb up,

Up and up,

Revisiting and reclaiming those parts of yourself that you left behind with each step up,

Up,

Up.

The light shining down through the staircase gets brighter as you take each step up,

Up and up.

Keep on going,

Keep on walking and returning back to your form that you have in the present day.

Up,

Up and up,

Returning and finally seeing the light shining through that door that you came through.

And taking a step out,

Feeling your feet on the earth below and feeling the roots of the tree reconnect you back to the surface.

Closing the door behind you and if you wish,

Just giving the tree a little hug,

Giving it thanks and feeling it reconnect.

Moving away from the tree,

Walking and leaving it behind for now.

Feeling the rays of sunshine and warmth upon your skin energising you and bringing you back.

Going back to that clearing in the grass and just imagining yourself merging back with the body that you're sat in now,

Meditating in.

Taking a few deep breaths.

In and out.

Bringing yourself and all the lessons and love that you felt back to your body.

Just breathing in and out.

Really breathing in deeply,

Filling your body with all that oxygen and really letting it go.

Giving your fingers or your feet a little shuffle and just very slowly coming back to the physical sensations of your body.

I hope you enjoyed this journey and if you got an animal in specific,

Feel free to leave a comment below and I'll get back to you and share some of the meanings with you for that.

The animals are a lot wiser than we perhaps give them credit for.

One reminder of this is always the way that animals breathe.

You see their whole body commit to each breath in and each breath out.

Not out of effort,

But just because it is.

I hope the animal showed you love today as I'm sure they did and thanks for joining me.

See you again.

Bye.

I found this meditation so absorbing. I did it with my wife and daughter. I saw a glistening Crow with large eyes, my wife saw a tiger and my 12 year old daughter saw a humpback whale with white swirling patterns on it. We found it really calming and totally fascinating, thank you.

What a fantastic journey. I’m not sure if I saw my animal, there was perhaps a deer/stag and a hare but there was a strong feeling of love, guidance and safety. Thank you

What a beautiful experience. Thank you for your guidance, Oliver. I had kind of expected ‚my‘ animals elephant and/or swan, but a beautiful, massive, slowly abd consciously moving brown bear joined me in this stunningly beautiful and magic cave, I almost didn‘t dare to breath too deeply in order to not disturb the strong sense of awe and delicate connection with this amazing and gentle creature.

Superb thank you. Elephant - stood quietly, twinkle in its eye, though with a broken tusk, stood its ground with confidence.

Thank you so much for taking me on this amazing journey to meet an animal spirit. I saw a dolphin, an animal I have loved since I was a small child. I had tears and felt so emotional looking into its eyes, was cuddling it feeling love and safety. I will come back to this meditation again and find that magical oak tree and give it a hug again. 🌸

Thank you for that. I found it very relaxing. And the animal that I saw was a female goat. And I could feel the love and braveness it was giving me☺️ And today the animal was a female fox, I could see the loyalty and support in its dark brown eyes. And it look so soft with its beautiful orange and white fur.
