Hello and welcome to a guided journey with horse.
Journeys are like dreams,
Except that we can direct a little bit and recall more detail because we're mostly awake.
That being said,
You'll descend deeply within in order to arrive in the lower world where you'll travel down to meet sacred wild horse.
Smudge your space and pause this audio now if you need to make time for smudging.
It'll enhance your experience to release anything that you're carrying which isn't your energy,
Anything that's hanging on to your own energy field.
Name whatever you're letting go of and let the smoke or your special spray dissipate that energy and open you up for your journey inward.
Have a journal and a pen near you as well as a glass of water.
You can do this meditation seated or lying down in journey pose if you like.
Lie on your back,
Palms facing up,
Head in alignment or seated upright with your legs folded and your hands in your lap open in receptive pose.
Feel your bones fully engaged with the earth.
With a deep breath and a relaxed straight spine,
Fill your belly with air.
Let the ocean breath rise and fall while you imagine the breath of the forest expanding and contracting.
The trees literally inhaling and exhaling.
All as one body in and out.
Keep this breath going in a slow rhythm and feel the pulse of your own heartbeat.
Imagine yourself in a very safe place in nature,
Sister.
Maybe it was a place that you played in as a child.
A place where you were free to run wild.
A place where you felt secure and connected.
A place where you and your soul knew each other.
Meet your usual guide or your totem at a portal such as a rabbit hole,
A hollowed out tree trunk or a dock on the water.
Any place that will lead you in and down.
Your guide always knows the way.
Slide gently into the lower world through this portal.
Inside the roots of the tree or feel the earthen sides of the rabbit hole as you slide down or dive into the waters of life,
Feeling the depths all around you descending,
Descending.
March slowly into the lower world taking soft notice of the landscape that surrounds you now.
Allow your guide to lead the way with full trust that it knows where the gateway to the lower world is.
Notice any and all details around you.
You're in a meadow with tall and wild grasses.
Envision yourself in this meadow.
Out in the distance on the horizon,
Horse is waiting to meet you.
Feel yourself making your way toward each other.
When you arrive to meet one another,
Regard each other with reverence,
With respect,
With gentle knowing.
Stand close to horse and listen.
There are many important messages that are not heard through talking.
Observe his movements.
What is he sensing?
What is she sensing,
Picking up on?
Is it a scent on the wind?
Is it something about you?
Allow him to tell you what he knows.
Take a walk with horse.
There are many treasures to be discovered when you're walking.
Observe the vibration that horse sends out from his feet when he steps.
These frequencies ripple out and travel all the way around the mother and back to horse.
Begin to walk like horse with the knowledge of the ripple that you're making for yourself and for others.
Check in with your feelings.
What's coming up for you in horse's presence?
What are you remembering?
What do you do?
How can you honor the medicine of horse?
Take a moment to experience horse in your own way.
Take a moment to experience horse in your own way.
It's now time to thank horse and make your way slowly back to ordinary reality.
Take the medicine of this beautiful creature into your heart.
Thank it.
Make your way back to where you left your guide.
And find your way back into ordinary reality,
Life as you know it.
Come slowly and softly back into your body.
Ground yourself on the earth.
Bringing your full attention to your feet,
Your legs,
Your hips,
Your spine,
Your chest,
Your heart,
Arms,
Throat,
Neck,
And head.
And root into the present firmly.
Wiggle some fingers and toes.
Move slowly and consciously.
Remember to honor the medicine of horse which has been given to you.
