Cockroach Medicine Meditation Welcome,
My dear friends.
Take a slow breath in and then let the exhale fall away gently.
You've arrived in a space where the extraordinary becomes sacred,
Where even the smallest creature carries ancient wisdom,
And where your own healing can rise softly to the surface.
Today,
The cockroach,
A humble yet powerful guide,
Walks beside us.
Close your eyes and imagine a quiet threshold in front of you.
A doorway into a softer,
Safer world.
And step through when that feels alright to you.
Feel the shift where you enter.
The air grows warmer,
The weight on your chest looser.
And your heart begins to open,
Like just a little.
You are inside a sanctuary made only for you.
And just take it all in,
The smells,
The colors,
The things that you are seeing and observing,
The things that you are feeling.
In this beautiful place,
Your sanctuary,
Let us call in our sacred circle.
To the east,
We call in eagle,
Offering clarity and fresh sight.
To the south,
We call in jaguar,
Guarding your courage and truth.
To the west,
We call in whale,
Holding your emotional depth with love.
To the north,
Wolf,
Steady guide of intuition and inner knowing.
And above,
The great dragon,
Bringing wisdom,
Protection and light.
And below,
Serpent,
Grounding your energy deep into the earth.
And feel their presence forming a circle around you,
Protective,
Loving and ancient.
Imagine a soft bubble of light surrounding your body.
It may be golden or white,
Or shimmering like a soap bubble.
This is your protection.
Nothing heavy or draining can enter here.
You are held,
You are safe,
And you are whole.
Within this beautiful space,
Bring your awareness down to your feet,
Or the place where your body meets the earth.
And take a slow inhale,
And a soft exhale.
Let your breath begin to guide you back into your body and allow your shoulders to mount.
Loosen your jaw,
Your belly to soften.
And imagine roots growing gently from your feet,
Your spine or your hips,
Reaching down into the soil below you.
These roots find their way through the earth,
Stone,
Memory,
In time.
Their anchor into you,
Into the steadiness beneath you.
With every breath,
You feel yourself sinking deeper into the present moment.
Deeper into stillness,
Deeper into you.
You are here,
And it is safe for you to be here.
Settling into this space,
Picture a column of light,
Soft and steady,
Rising through the center of your body.
This light moves through each energy center,
Awakening and aligning you.
The root chakra,
A warm red grounding you into safety.
The sacrum,
Gentle orange,
Helping emotions to flow with grace.
The solar plexus,
Soft yellow,
Reminding you of your quiet strength.
The heart,
Green or maybe pink,
Opening you to compassion of yourself and your past.
Throat,
Calm blue,
Clearing the space with truth and self-acceptance.
The third eye,
A deep indigo,
Offering clarity.
And the crown,
White or violet,
Connecting you to higher guidance.
And you feel everything inside you becoming into balance,
Softening,
Aligned,
Ready.
Into this space,
Where we've settled,
We invite a cockroach spirit forward.
You may sense them as a presence,
Feeling,
Or shimmer in the air,
Or simply an idea forming gently into your awareness.
The cockroach is a misunderstood healer,
A keeper of survival wisdom,
A guide through shadows and transitions,
And just feel their quiet strength.
This small being carrying no shame,
No fear of the dark,
And no apologies for existing.
They move with purpose,
They adapt,
And they know how to lift what others avoid.
Allow this ancient guide to stem into your circle,
Let them support you.
Place one hand over your heart,
Or simply turn your intention inward.
What do you need today?
It might be to survive a transition with more ease,
To release all shame that isn't yours anymore,
To clear emotional clutter,
To feel strength in vulnerability,
Or to accept parts of yourself that you've kept hidden.
Let whatever arises be enough,
And hold your intention softly.
You don't have to push or try,
Just let it sit in your heart like a warm stone.
The cockroach guides you into their world,
A quiet place,
Dim but warm,
Where shadows are not frightening,
But soothing.
This is where healing happens.
This is where honesty lies.
This is where nothing is judged.
Here is their medicine.
Feel the cockroach resilience moving through your body.
Their message whispers,
You can move through this.
You can adapt.
You will not be broken by change.
And let that truth become an anchor inside you.
The cockroach carries no shame.
Allow their presence to shift the heaviness you've carried.
Let the stories that say you must hide parts of yourself.
Feel the weight dissolve,
Like dust carried by a soft breeze.
See the cockroach gently clearing debris and old thoughts,
And old patterns,
And old fears.
Things that have been taking up space in your heart.
You don't have to force it,
Just allow the clearing to begin.
The cockroach is exactly what it is,
Unapologetically.
Let their energy show you that you are lovable,
Even in your tender places.
You do not need to be perfect.
You only need to be real.
Let that truth settle into your bones.
Take a breath,
And feel the transformation happening inside you,
Quietly,
Steadily,
Powerfully.
And then begin to deepen your breath,
Softly.
Feel the weight of your body.
Feel the weight and the safety beneath you.
Feel the roots drawing gently back in and leaving you grounded.
And supported.
Thank the cockroach spirit for walking with you.
And thank the guardians for holding the circle.
Let the bubble of light around you soften,
But remain,
Carrying its protection into your days.
Feel how you're walking through the threshold back into your space,
Your home.
Roll your shoulders,
Wiggle your fingers,
And let your awareness widen.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
You return lighter,
Stronger,
And more whole.
And carry this simple mantra with you.
I honor the parts of me that once hid.
Let it guide you.
Let it soften you.
And let it liberate you.
Welcome back.
And welcome home.
