This is Justin St.
Clair at Within the Within and welcome to this Medicine Wheel meditation for healing and good fortune.
In this meditation we will be calling the cardinal directions North,
South,
East and West.
Feel free to determine where they lie or just let your intuition guide you to them.
Burning incense or diffusing essential oils for this meditation may serve to deepen your experience.
I suggest sage,
Palo santo or frankincense if you don't already have a favorite.
Once you've set up your quiet space,
Sit or lie down comfortably.
Go ahead and close your eyes.
Take a deep breath and allow yourself to just let go.
Bring your attention to the environment.
What is the temperature?
What is the temperature?
What noises can you hear,
If any?
Is there a scent?
Where is your body touching the surface beneath it?
And how are you feeling?
Whatever comes up,
Just observe it.
Just let it be for now.
What is the temperature?
What is the temperature?
What is the temperature?
Allow your attention to return to your respiration and take another deep breath.
Imagine there is a path in front of you that leads into a forest.
Notice a beautiful dense undergrowth of ferns and berries that spread on either side of the path as it descends into a wood of giant trees.
Go ahead and take that path down.
See the sunlight filtering in.
Become aware of a slight mistiness that fills the air.
The further you go,
The more you see the trees become and the more magical your surroundings.
Eventually you see a giant tree ahead of you that completely covers the path.
It is as large as a house.
As you approach the giant tree,
You notice a considerable hollow in its trunk that passes right through it.
As you peer into this portal,
You see a world of beautiful golden twilight on the other side.
Go ahead and play through the heart of the tree.
Feel its immense energy and smell its woody aroma as you pass through this living tunnel.
When you emerge into the golden twilight on the other side,
You find yourself standing in a glen encircled by trees and all manner of flowering plants.
The air is sweet and you breathe more easily here than you have in a long while.
The breeze stirs the leaves and you feel its pleasantness against your skin.
A warmth spreads through your body as you become aware that beings of the highest light and love gather about the glen.
Facing the South,
Welcome the energy of the serpent.
From the sacred snake comes the gift of renewal and rebirth.
The opportunity to shed the old self and start again.
Knowledge that which we need to know is also available to us here along with healing.
Healing of the mind,
The body,
And the spirit.
Ask yourself,
What knowings have I turned away from out of fear?
What ideas about myself or habits do I need to let go of in order to heal?
And what am I choosing to bring forth?
What do I desire to create?
Feel the element of water and the energy of the serpent suffuse you.
Allow them to offer you healing and renewal.
If you are ready,
Accept this good.
Now,
Turn your attention to the West and welcome the energy of the jaguar.
From the sacred cat comes the deep draw of transformation leading us through surrender to face our own mortality and the paradox of our existence.
Ask yourself,
Where must I lie down arms,
Stop fighting,
And give up the ghost in order to fully transform into the self that calls to me my true self?
What shadow and pain must I allow jaguar to devour?
And which relationships,
Family,
Friends,
Or otherwise,
No longer aid my journey?
Feel the element of fire and the spirit of jaguar consume you.
Allow them to offer you sovereignty and transformation.
If you are ready,
Accept this good.
Allow your awareness to move to the North and welcome the energy of the hummingbird.
From the sacred bird comes the willingness to go on the journey our desires call us to.
From here comes the courage to make the leap to grow and to face the unknown.
Ask yourself,
Am I true to my passions?
What do I get by avoiding their call?
And what could I have by answering it?
Which of the many roads before me feels right?
Which one is filled with joy,
Adventure,
And abundance?
Feel the vibrations of the earth and the hummingbird.
Allow them to offer you abundance and expansion.
If you are ready,
Accept this good.
Turn to the East and welcome the energy of the eagle.
From the sacred raptor comes clarity of mind and vision.
Here the ability to see the forest for the trees is ours and true wisdom arises.
All futures lie before us and we are able to move beyond our wounds and biases into peace and love.
Ask yourself,
Am I willing to trust myself in the process of life?
Am I ready to accept full responsibility for my life?
What am I committed to given this new clarity?
Feel the element of air and the spirit of eagle surround you.
Allow them to offer you insight and the ability to trust.
If you are ready,
Accept this good.
Now turn your attention up to the sun and welcome the Archangel Metatron.
See the light of Metatron descending into the glen,
Bringing down the energies of the enlightened ones.
This is the collective wisdom of all spiritual and religious traditions.
Allow this light to clear you and your space of any harmful energies,
Entities or thought forms at all levels and layers and in all dimensions,
Timelines and lifetimes.
Turn your attention down to the planet and welcome the Archangel Sambalfan.
See the light of Sambalfan bringing up the primordial energy of creation.
Feel this energy rising up and enveloping you in profound,
Unconditional love.
Allow this energy to welcome you home to yourself and to your place in the world and the cosmic cosmos.
Now turn your attention within,
Deep into your center.
Feel the principles of the sacred masculine from above and the divine feminine from below uniting in your heart.
Know that you contain not only this blessed continuum but also the songs of our galactic family,
The entirety of our universe and the absolute that is all.
You are one with Source.
What do you choose to offer life?
When you are ready,
Offer Source a blessing,
Thereby blessing all creation.
Thank Sambalfan and our planet.
Thank Metatron and our Sun.
Offer gratitude to Eagle in the east.
Thank Hummingbird in the north.
Offer gratitude to Jaguar in the west.
And thank Serpent in the south.
Now place your hands on your heart and thank yourself.
In your own time,
Leave the sacred glen behind.
Return through the tree,
Ascend the forest path and come back into your body.
Wiggle your toes and fingers and open your eyes.
Feel free to journal any insights you may have gained during this meditation and drink plenty of water.
Thank you for joining me.
I wish you much love and light.
