In this inner journey, you will connect with your power animal. The purpose is to rekindle your sense of purpose, self-confidence and inner knowing beyond logic. Indigenous people around the world believe that animals who appear to you in dreams act as guides. Each animal has its' own unique characteristics that can be utilized as strengths. So shed any prejudices you may have about what animal you might see, and allow the newness of this moment to summon forth the perfect guidance you need.

This is a guided meditation journey to connect to the gifts of your power animal.

You may do this seated comfortably in an upright position either on a chair or cushion.

Or if you wish to lay down,

You may prop your head up with a pillow.

Perhaps use a bolster under the legs.

Whatever position you are choosing.

Settle into it now.

Now begin to tap into the breath.

Feel the breath.

The texture of the breath.

The temperature.

Observe the speed of the breath.

Visualize the breath moving through the body in three parts.

Feel the breath rise from the belly,

The ribs,

And finally the chest.

And exhale from chest,

Ribs,

And belly.

The breath ascends from the belly first.

Extending ribs,

Elevating the chest.

Exhale,

Deflate the chest,

The ribs,

And the belly.

Continue breathing in this way,

As slow as you can.

Creating more space between each and every breath.

Feel free to exhale through the mouth.

Create a sense of relief.

Letting go.

Use the connection of this breath to let go of any physical tension in the body.

Scan the feet,

The legs,

The hips,

The ribs,

Shoulders,

Arms,

The neck and the head.

Scan the entire body for any points of tension that need letting go.

And on the exhale,

Let it go.

Do three more deep rounds of this three-part breath.

Each breath bringing you deeper into a state of being,

Of accepting,

Of illumination.

Bring your mind to a place in nature that you associate with strength.

And arrive there in whatever way feels right.

Observe the surroundings.

What can be around you?

Observe the surroundings.

What can you see?

What can you hear?

Is there anything to smell through the breath?

Or taste?

Perhaps to touch?

Engage all the senses with your environment and fully commit to arriving in this new place in nature.

And wherever it is that you have arrived,

Scan around and find an opening that goes deeply into the center of the earth.

Walk towards that opening.

Before you enter,

Take three deep breaths in and out.

Inhale fully.

Exhale any stuckness,

Obstacles that may keep you from being open.

One last full breath in.

And exhale,

Let everything go.

Preparing the way for this journey ahead,

Make the decision to move into this opening.

From here we go down.

Down,

Down,

Down.

Spiraling down,

Down,

Down towards the center of the earth.

Moving away from our ordinary reality that is based in logic,

Reasoning,

Thinking.

And we move down,

Down,

Down,

Down to a place of feeling,

Of emotionality.

We move down,

Down,

Down to a place of flow and grace.

Infinite possibilities.

We move down,

Down,

Down to a place of magic.

And here we are.

We arrive.

We arrive in this new place near the center of the earth.

Scan around.

Notice the change in temperature.

How the air feels on the skin.

Observe anything that needs attention.

How it is that you feel in this new place of possibility.

Notice the landscape and this sense of familiarity of where you are.

As you scan,

There is a doorway.

And it appears and you move closer towards it.

As you approach this doorway,

There is a sense of anticipation.

A sense of deep inner knowing that what lies behind that door is guidance.

Guidance that you have been waiting for all this time.

So before you open that door,

Take three breaths.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Let go of any fear.

Inhale.

Let go of any doubt.

Inhale.

Let go of whatever needs letting go.

Now you are ready to open that door.

So you make the conscious choice to open that door.

And on the other side,

Your guiding spirit power animal is waiting for you.

And you see them.

Right in the eye,

The sense of deep connection that goes beyond lifetimes.

This power animal has been with you from before the beginning.

And in this deep connection with them,

You watch them and they watch you.

You hear them.

They hear you.

You feel them and they feel you.

There is a total body connection between the two of you.

And they lead you in this new terrain,

Moving even closer towards the center of the Earth.

Exploring the land with a sense of openness and trust.

They show you that the impossible is possible.

Great leaps of faith,

You follow them with this trust that you have in the center of your heart.

Because you know that they will not let you down.

They have your back.

So the two of you go along,

Moving even closer and closer to the center of the Earth.

In this journey,

They teach you your strengths.

They teach you how to turn weaknesses into opportunities.

They teach you the true essence of who you are.

So for the next few moments,

Enjoy this time and receive all of their teachings.

And now,

Your power animal brings you to a sacred place.

And you are encircled with an energy of unconditional love.

And of peace,

Safety,

And of course,

Deep trust.

Your power animal reveals certain gifts that you have in this lifetime.

And they support these gifts by sharing with you,

Reminding you.

And so you listen with your eyes,

With your ears,

With your soul you listen.

With your soul you listen.

And as all this information comes in,

You now understand more deeply your purpose.

You slowly embody the qualities of your power animal.

The two of you merge.

Two become one.

All of the gifts,

All of the strengths that they have are now at your disposal.

And so feel their strength coursing through every single cell in your body.

Because this is your birthright.

Because your power animal is in you,

You now have the ability to navigate this new terrain.

And you make the decision to backtrack the way you came.

Moving back,

Back,

Back,

Towards the open doorway from where you came.

Moving back,

Back,

Back,

Retracing all your steps with ease,

With poise and grace.

You just know where to go.

You know how to take action without overthinking.

Because you are so connected to your instinct and your intuition.

You are in complete flow with the earth,

With the body,

With the mind.

With the energy,

With your spirit.

So you make your way back to the open doorway and you close it knowing that you are in the open.

You make your way back to the open doorway and you close it knowing that you can always return to explore and play in this space.

But for now it is time to make our leave.

You make your way up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Up.

From the center of the earth we ascend,

Traveling up,

Up,

Up,

Up,

Towards that place in nature that we started our journey.

And we continue moving up,

Up,

Up,

And we arrive in that place on a count of 10,

9,

8,

7,

6,

5,

4,

3,

2,

And 1.

We have arrived at our starting point.

It is a new day because it is a new you.

You have remembered and reclaimed all your strengths.

And you remember your purpose.

You remember why you are here.

So all this confidence,

All of this joy fills your heart.

Because you know and you have always known who you are.

And so continue soaking in this newness for as long as you need and whenever you are ready take five deep breaths in and out to slowly return.

And when you do open your eyes,

Take in the world around you with the freshness and the confidence of your power animal.

I don't quite understand where it jumped from the climax back to the introduction "this is a guided meditation ...."? Then the call back?? I was startled out of a beautiful moment. I later checked the countdown and recording and confirmed it did in fact jump from climax back to start. What am I missing?
