Welcome to a guided meditation with Mountain Lion.
I'm Pixie Lighthorse and I would love to take you on a journey to go within and meet with the Solar Queen,
Mountain Lion.
Her invitation to you is to pace around your perimeter for you so that you can rest in the peace of knowing that you are protected at all times.
She volunteers to be a watcher for you,
Bringing awareness when there is danger approaching and allowing safe passage to all of those experiences and people with whom you are meant to interact more intimately.
Have your journal and a pen near you,
As well as a glass of water.
If you can do this meditation at night in the dark when it's quiet around you,
Try to.
If not,
A daytime meditation will totally work.
You can do this meditation seated or lying down.
Lie down in what we kind of call corpse pose with your palms facing up and your head in alignment.
Or you can do it seated upright with your legs folded and your hands just open in your lap in receptive pose.
Start by closing your eyes and feeling your bones fully engaged with Earth.
With a deep breath and a relaxed straight spine,
Fill your belly with air.
Expand your ribbasket and allow the breath of life to fill you.
Let your ocean breath rise and fall.
Coming in and going out.
Coming in and going out.
Keep this breath rhythmic and slow.
Rest in your trust.
Rest in your intuitive knowing.
Rest in your willingness to allow your guide to work for you.
Rest in the safety of your beautiful bubble of golden light.
Think deeply into your self respect.
Lengthen your breath with the belief that you are protected and you are safe.
Enter an in between space by closing your inner eyes and slipping into a desert landscape.
Sometimes this in between space is called liminal space.
It's the space between what we see and what is actually happening.
You can slide down some tree roots.
You can just shimmy down a squirrel hole.
You can dive off a dock into some water.
Just slip gently into a beautiful world where your feet come into contact with the ground softly and securely.
In your mind's eye,
Leave ordinary reality behind and enter non ordinary reality.
Slowly open your inner eyes and look around.
Use your imagination to see that you're walking through a red rock canyon.
Raise your nose to the scent of juniper and sage and all of the desert plants.
Watch the breeze blow gently over the cactus and the little cactus wrens flying about singing quietly.
Find yourself in a Sandy Creek wash until it comes to a fallen tree across the land.
Sit on this fallen tree,
This big comfortable log and wait for the Queen to arrive.
She's approaching you now in her brave splendor facing you and honoring you.
Take some time to engage with her in your special way.
Allow her to speak to you.
She has a message for you about your personal space.
Allow her to walk around you in a circle in the Sandy wash.
Allow her to pace that circle more and more generously.
Observe her pace.
Notice the size of her,
The shape of her and watch her do what she came to do.
See her paws softly engaging with the sand.
Notice where her attention is.
Bring your awareness now to the sensations that are moving through your body.
Imagine a question arising inside of you.
Listen for it.
When your guide mountain lion completes the last circle around you,
Come face to face with her.
Allow her to come close to you,
Smell her,
Touch her.
Feel the golden ripple of her fur.
Take a moment and ask her your question and allow the answer to come.
Feel the breeze rising and stand.
Make your way back out of the wash the way that you came with your guide at your side.
She will quietly when necessary make rounds invisibly on the perimeter that you and she just experienced.
When you find that your boundaries are being invaded or crossed or you're perceiving danger of some kind,
Allow her to come into your mind just like she is now.
As you and she move through the environment,
Allow her the opportunity to demonstrate how she will keep you safe.
Arriving back at the portal you came in through,
Slowly rise up into ordinary reality.
Mountain lion is invisible now,
But ever present around you.
Remember her by scent,
By touch and by the light that she radiated.
Connect with her as you feel called by going into this meditation landscape and meeting with her.
Allow her to show herself to you in the sacred landscape each time you require reassurance that she is with you,
That you are safe and that you are protected.
Come slowly back into your body and gently open your eyes.
Take a look around the room.
Letting your gaze follow familiar objects that ground you back in reality.
Begin to move your body slowly and then with a little bit more purpose.
Give yourself the opportunity to fully embody your flesh in the here and now.
