Welcome to a guided meditation with Spider.
Let's take a short journey to meet with your guide through the watery West,
Spider.
Spider's invitation is to allow her to consume your past.
She represents infinite being and can take what you've experienced thus far in this life and others,
Devour it and reweave a more harmonious web for you containing only the elements that you want to carry forward on your soul's journey.
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.
You can do this meditation seated or lying down in journey pose if you like.
Lie down in corpse pose,
Palms facing up,
Head in alignment or seated upright,
Legs folded,
Hands 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 with the sound of the sea coming in and going out,
Coming in and going out with the waves.
Keep this breath going like a slow rhythm.
Imagine that you are lying on a healing table inside of a round structure like a yurt in the middle of a forest retreat center.
The air around your face feels soft and scented with sage,
Pine or a relaxing scent that brings you into sacred space.
When you gaze up softly you see the matrix of the poles coming together spiraling up into the peak of the roof.
You feel a gentle breeze coming through the many open windows and door spaces giving you a sensation of a warm slight tickle over your entire body.
Your healer approaches and with the voice of a gentle woman she instructs you to relax into a deep sleep while she does her work.
You trust her completely and fade into a lucid dream state.
Light sounds of a flute can be heard in the distance.
You're barely aware of her hands on you as she seems to be working about a half inch above your body rather than directly on it but you can feel the sensation of subtle waves manipulating your tissue.
You distractedly wonder if three more healers have approached as you feel more hands at work on you.
The flute music grows nearer but only slightly louder and in your dreamy state feel the healer singing quietly over you.
A silky feeling begins to fall over you again and again and again like ticklish tiny hairs brushing you so softly.
You are lulled deeper into a trance.
You are comforted by the cocoon that surrounds you.
A dream is coming to you.
A dream in which all of the life is being drained out of you seeping out in a steady slow flow.
Everything that was held in your memory is trickling out at the base of your spine at the site of the sacrum.
All tension is being released.
Your body feels light so light effortless.
You cannot move and do not want to.
You are empty.
A completely empty vessel in the most comfortable and soft bed you've ever slept in.
You have no thoughts.
The void feels expansive.
It is as wide as the universe and deep as the ocean.
You want to be here forever resting in this peace.
This floating state of peace.
You can feel the subtle sensation of tiny hairs again of the silk threads lifting off of you one by one by one over a million times unwrapping you.
It is warm in the room as if a stove has been lit near your feet.
As your healer takes off the last thread you begin to feel a warm steam at your feet.
It travels up up your legs slowly and you feel your legs become warm and slightly heavier.
The warm sensation sweeps very slowly up to your hips into your abdomen joining with your hands and arms and traveling up under your rib cage and into your heart through your breasts over your shoulders up your throat flowing over your chin nose eyes ears and the top of your head.
You are aware of a pulse in your body like a very soft drumbeat.
A feeling of a rainbow is washing over you.
A full spectrum of colorful waves vibrating inside and out of you.
A soft eye mask filled with lavender is placed over your eyes by the tickly hands.
Your healer crouches down next to your ear and whispers a message.
She leaves the room with a soft shuffle and you are left with your message.
When you are ready come back into your body slowly and at your own pace.
Wiggle some fingers and toes.
Feel the earth beneath your body and the weight of you.
Linger in the space for as long as you need and come to your journal when you're ready.
