What if you could be happy no matter what is happening in your life?

I believe that this is possible and I believe that we can attain a higher perspective from our innermost self,

The divine part of us,

The wise part of us,

Who can view obstacles as stepping stones,

As opportunities and blessings.

Once we connect to the divine part of ourselves,

We can hold space for anything that life throws at us.

But how to connect to this divine part of ourselves that can lead us to the ultimate path of happiness,

Freedom and joy?

Hawaiians have a saying that there are many paths to the top of the mountain but the view is the same once you get there.

There are many ways to connect to our divinity and tonight we will go on a journey to explore one of them,

Inspired by ancient wisdoms of the Toltec tradition.

My name is Rasa and I will guide you through tonight's enlightening guided practice where we will delve into the powerful realm of visualization and sleep,

Showing you the path to higher perspective,

Connection to your own divinity.

At the end of this meditation I will guide you to unlock the door to blissful sleep and revitalized life of complete balance and well-being.

The famous five agreements come from Toltec tradition,

A tradition that viewed the universe as a complex energy system.

Everything is composed of energy and all energy has consciousness.

It is neither good nor bad,

Neither positive nor negative.

Energy just is.

And so according to Toltec wisdom,

Life is as it is.

Events in our lives are neutral,

They are as they are,

Neither good nor bad,

Positive nor negative and once this wisdom is applied,

The results are amazing.

In this guided practice we will use five agreements,

Delving into each one to bring you closer to the path of total happiness,

Freedom and joy.

Of course,

As we live in time-space reality,

Implementation might take time.

But please do not mistaken time for failure.

As you will learn,

Time is always on your side,

Bringing you closer to what your mind can see and your heart desire.

Please feel free to skip the introduction next time and dive right into the meditation which begins now.

Relax your mind now,

Relax your face.

There is nothing you need to have prepared for this meditation.

Only bring your curiosity,

Your open mind as we begin to delve into the world of visualization.

Adjust your body to the utmost comfortable sleeping position for you.

Rest your body fully onto the surface.

Perhaps,

Shrug your shoulders and extend your spine once more and then nestle into the covers,

Making it feel especially comfortable tonight.

Now let's anchor your thoughts and emotions by leaving the day behind and tuning into the process of breathing and into the observation of you being here and now.

Take longer and even inhales.

Let it be calming and let the exhale escape your lips with a gentle sigh.

Notice how the sigh is like a soothing balm,

Relieving any tension and any tight areas.

As you begin to go deeper inward and relax more,

Begin to also connect to the spirit of the ancient Toltec wisdom.

You do not need to know anything about it,

Simply say to yourself,

I am now connecting to the ancient wisdom of Toltec for happiness,

Freedom,

Joy and so much more.

Let the wish leave on your next exhale.

Begin to visualize a white feather landing above your head.

It is a symbol of connection to the ancient wisdom,

A blessing in the sky.

Hovering in the air gently,

Landing slowly.

Now feel it to touch your head and feel ripples down your shoulders and your entire body.

Feel it envelop you in a glowing white protective shield,

Hugging you gently.

It will shield you and keep you warm through the night.

Nothing can permeate this divine ancient shield.

Now see yourself standing in front of a large sacred mountain.

A lush green stretch of a forest is in front of you.

There is a path leading you into the forest.

Stand firmly on the path,

Visualizing your energetic roots grounding you on this path and the white glowing shield keeping you relaxed and safe.

Know and feel that the Universe and the rich fertile environment around you supports you with its loving energy,

Making you healthier by the moment,

Only wishing positive transformation for you.

You may even say to yourself,

This is a new beginning for me.

And now step onto the path that is surrounded by this beautiful botanical heaven.

Walking into the forest,

Hearing the birds,

Observing so many different colors and aromas.

Butterflies,

Bees and hummingbirds all keeping busy.

You lift your head to look at the huge mountain in front and you can see water cascading down its rocks,

Creating a stunning view,

A view of true paradise.

As you walk deeper into the forest,

You can hear the sound of the water very close by.

It sounds like a stream pouring into the pool.

As you come to the end of the path through the forest branches,

You begin to see an ancient man-made pool of water with five faucets that are beautifully molded in ancient Toltec ornaments.

Each faucet streaming crystal clear water into the pool.

Come closer to the pool and look how pure the sacred mountain water really is.

Reach your hand and surprisingly it feels not cold but very comfortable on your skin.

This is because of your glowing white shield that is turning the water into comfortable temperature for you.

This sacred mountain represents the wisdom,

Resilience and never-changing truth.

The water is the conduit of this wisdom,

Reaching wide and far,

Nourishing the world and its habitat within it.

The truth of the mountain speaks that everything in life is emotionally neutral,

Which might be contrary to everything Western culture teaches.

The mountain does not speak of right or wrong,

Positive or negative,

Good or bad,

Black or white,

You or me.

The mountain whispers of the ancient truth that everything is held in one sphere,

A nurturing womb that holds everything within it equally.

See yourself step into the sacred pool,

The very center of this energetic,

Nurturing womb.

Feel your body being hugged by the crystal water that feels comfortable and soothing to your skin,

Rejuvenating your muscles and bones.

Feel the mountain whisper through its water embrace,

Asking you to soften,

To give up any struggle that comes from duality.

Listen to the mountain,

Hear it ask you to accept who you are and where you are in your journey.

You can embrace it all,

Have and feel all your emotions.

And you can ask yourself what loving and nurturing thing do you need to hear right now?

And offer these words to yourself.

Our emotions are like a filter system,

Our emotions are our own creation and we can set ourselves free of our limiting beliefs.

We can change the way we think and not focus so much on emotions and events around us.

Human spirit is limitless,

While the mind is limited within its perceptions.

If we step outside that what we judge or fear and step into a perspective that is expansive and loving,

We become free.

Visualize yourself come to the first water faucet.

See the crystal sacred water gush,

Sparkling in the sun.

This first faucet represents the first agreement of the ancient wisdom,

Which is,

Be impeccable with your word.

This means using your words wisely,

Not speaking ill about anyone and especially yourself.

Words are energy,

So this first agreement asks to use this energy positively and with care.

Visualize yourself extending your palms,

Filling up with water and pouring it onto your face.

Feeling your mind being purified,

Your eyes refreshed.

As you do this,

Say the powerful affirmation,

My words are powerful and I will use it with mindfulness and purpose.

Soak in the energy of this wish absorbing this ancient truth.

Now move to the right,

To the next sacred water faucet.

It represents the second ancient agreement,

Which is,

Don't take anything personally.

To embody personal freedom and happiness,

This ancient truth is here to help understand that the words and actions of others are based on their own,

Relative perceptions.

They are not actually about you.

The perspective of others,

Especially about you,

Can never reflect the truth of who you are,

Because no one has an entire understanding of what is truly going on within you.

Scoop the holy water up in your palms,

Bathe your face,

Even your body if you like.

As you do this,

Say the following mantra to solidify the second agreement,

What others think of me is not my business,

I let go of any impulse to take anything personally.

Very well.

Now move to the third sacred water faucet that represents the third ancient agreement,

Which is,

Don't make assumptions.

This agreement asks that we communicate clearly and openly.

It encourages to not be afraid to ask questions and express your true needs.

By not making assumptions,

We can create better relationships.

See your arms reach towards the sacred crystal water,

Scoop it up,

Cleansing your mind and soul,

Allowing for new ways to emerge.

Say the following affirmation,

I allow myself to speak clearly and I openly communicate my needs and wants.

Moving to the fourth ancient mountain water faucet that represents fourth agreement.

Always do your best.

When we always do our best,

We can live a life without regret,

Guilt or self-judgment.

Our best varies from moment to moment and that is ok.

The ancient wisdom encourages holding the intention of doing our best daily.

Now bathe in the water,

Refreshing yourself and saying the intention,

I can do anything when I do my best.

Feel the awakening within your heart,

Turning its energy towards desires and possibilities.

Pour the holy water on your chest,

Your body,

Feel it invigorating your cells and healing your spirit.

Feel your connection with the divine part of yourself expand beneath the sacred mountain.

Now move to the last holy water faucet that represents the fifth agreement,

Which is,

Be skeptical,

But learn to listen.

This wisdom asks the question things you hear,

Especially your own thoughts and beliefs.

It advises to be skeptical,

Yet to listen with an open mind,

Allowing you to understand and discern the truth from various perspectives.

Scoop up the holy water,

Briefly looking at your reflection and taking the wisdom this water whispers to you.

Now bathe in it,

Watching water crystals fall from your face while you say this powerful intention,

I am not my thoughts or opinions of others,

I am the vibration of my soul,

Eternal and pure.

Stay for a few moments under the ancient mountain,

In this holy purification,

Absorbing and observing the ancient truth becoming alive within.

Now,

Step to the end of the pool and notice an exit point and the water flowing out into the forest,

There's also a raft prepared for you.

Step onto the raft,

Noticing that you are completely dry,

Warm and comfortable.

The protective shield worked its magic.

Take a cosy blanket and pillows that are waiting for you on the raft.

Lay on your back,

Cover yourself and get really cosy,

Allowing the water to carry you,

Feeling the effortless flow of the raft.

Observe the sun setting as you move through the sacred forest.

The sunset colors are dancing and you are feeling a little drowsy,

Tired yet content,

Ready to be lulled to sleep.

Feel the ancient forest,

The mountain and the water to support you,

To carry you into the next transformation of your life.

Hear the following affirmations that hold the power of all five ancient agreements and feel the wisdom present within these words to become yours as well.

I live in the now and I always do my best.

My thoughts are part of universal energy and I use this power with purpose.

My peace is my own and nothing has power over it.

I walk my own path independent of external influence.

I allow myself to speak clearly and I openly communicate my needs and wants.

I remain grounded and open-minded at all times.

I am not my thoughts or opinions of others.

I am the vibration of my soul,

Eternal and pure.

I am impeccable with my word.

Let's repeat this one more time.

I live in the now and I always do my best.

My thoughts are part of universal energy and I use this power with purpose.

My peace is my own and nothing has power over it.

I walk my own path independent of external influence.

I allow myself to speak clearly and I openly communicate my needs and wants.

I remain grounded and open-minded at all times.

I am not my thoughts or opinions of others.

I am the vibration of my soul,

Eternal and pure.

I am impeccable with my word.

Now feel free for the sacred waters to carry you into a deep sleep,

Continuing to whisper the wisdom of the ancient mountain.

Feel the five sacred agreements to carry you into the next transformation of your life.

Let your body relax deeper.

Let go of the thoughts.

Feel the muscles deeply relax now.

You deserve this good night's sleep.

Let yourself rest.

Let yourself sleep.
