Meeting mountain lion at dusk,
Calm boundaries,
A quiet power.
Welcome,
My dear friend.
Find a position that feels kind to your body.
Sitting or laying,
Or slowly moving through your space.
Let your shoulders soften,
And let your jaw unclench.
Let your hands rest somewhere where they can feel safe.
And just for a moment,
Permit yourself to arrive.
Arrive in a soft inhale,
In a slow exhale.
And if it feels right,
Close your eyes,
Or just soften your gaze.
Notice the place where your body meets the earth.
The chair,
The bed,
The ground.
The weight of you being held.
Movement,
In stillness,
In journey.
And as you breathe,
Imagine the ground responding to you.
Not in words,
But in steadiness.
In balance.
And connect with your breath.
Inhale,
And exhale.
Let your breath be simple,
Not forcing,
Not fixing them.
Just a gentle rhythm that tells your body.
You can soften them.
In this space,
In this place,
We are going to open our sacred soul.
And feel that soft light beginning to form around you.
Not a wall,
Not a cage,
But a living boundary in your sacred space.
And here,
In this space,
We call in the guardians.
To the east,
We invite Eagle.
Eagle of clear vision.
Eagle of clean perspective.
Eagle helps us see what is true,
Without sheer.
To the south,
We invite Jaguar.
Jaguar of deep courage.
Jaguar of strong heart,
Walking through the shadow.
And coming out whole.
Jaguar stands with us,
As we return to our power.
To the west,
We invite Whale.
Whale of deep waters.
Whale of emotional freedom.
Whale,
Help us to release what is heavy,
In a gentle way.
To the north,
We invite Wolf.
Wolf of grounded instinct.
Wolf of loyal boundaries.
Wolf helps us to trust ourselves again.
Above us,
We invite our Dragon.
The Dragon of sovereign light.
Dragon,
Hold the space above us.
Strong,
Steady,
Benevolent.
And below us,
We invite Serpent.
Serpent of the earth's medicine.
Serpent of shedding and renewal.
Serpent,
Anchor us into the body.
Into now.
Feel your sacred circle complete.
Supported from all directions.
Held,
Protected and clear.
Your sacred space to move in,
Around in.
To spread your light in.
Widen.
Conceal into your own medicine.
Here in this space,
Quietly set your intention to meet Mountain Lion.
In a way that is calm.
Respectful.
And safe.
You're invited to say.
Only what is for my highest good.
Only what my nervous system can hold today.
Only the truths that strengthen me with love.
And imagine you standing at the edge of a forest trail.
It is a late afternoon,
Moving into dusk.
That beautiful in-between.
Feel.
The air is cooler.
The sky softens into layers of colors.
Deepening blues and soft golds and oranges.
And that last gentle blush of a light near the horizon.
You begin to walk.
With each step you feel more present,
More here.
Your feet find the path easily.
And the world around you feels quiet.
Not empty.
Quiet like a sanctuary.
Ahead the trail begins to rise.
You climb slowly.
Calmly.
Feeling your breath steady.
Your body capable.
And as you reach the top.
The trees open.
And you step into a ridge.
Wide and open.
And you can see far into the valley below.
And it feels.
.
.
Sweet.
Like the wind up here clears your thoughts without effort.
Your sacred circle expands gently around you.
Forming a wider boundary on the ridge.
The soft sphere of light.
You can see out.
You can breathe.
You can feel the wind.
But nothing enters unless it is aligned with love.
Truth.
And protection.
Then you can say.
My space is sacred.
My energy is mine.
My yes is clear.
And my no is clear.
You don't call Mountain Lion like a cologne.
But you invite with respect.
With a steady heart.
So place one hand on your heart or belly.
And whisper inwardly.
Mountain Lion.
Mountain Lion.
If it serves my healing and my clarity.
You are welcome here.
Then you wait.
Then you listen.
Not with your ears but with your whole body.
And somewhere on the ridge.
You sense it.
Not fears.
But awareness.
A shift in the field.
Mountain Lion appears close.
Or in the distance.
Either way it is perfect.
It suits you.
You might see a slicky body.
You might sense white string.
The long tail balancing every moment.
Every movement like wisdom.
Or you may simple feel the present.
Quiet.
Unrushed.
Certain.
Not proving.
Just being.
Let your breath stay slow.
Notice the changes in.
When you notice the Mountain Lion arrives.
Does your spine straighten a little?
Does your chest feel clearer?
Do your thoughts get easier?
Simpler?
In your mind's eye the Mountain Lion looks at you.
Not judging you.
Seeing you.
You can send it.
Thank you for coming.
Mountain Lion.
In this place there is space to ask questions.
To have that conversation with Mountain Lion.
I have a few suggestions.
But feel free to ignore them.
And have your own conversation.
One suggestion of a question can be.
Where am I linking my power?
Another inquiry could be.
What boundary would I like to create for peace to arrive in my life immediately?
Another inquiry could be.
What is my next brave step?
The quiet one.
And let the answers arrive as a word.
A feeling.
An image.
A knowing.
And no forcing.
Just be here.
With this beautiful Mountain Lion.
Mountain Lion likes to offer you a gift.
Maybe a forehead touch.
Transferring calm authority.
Maybe a golden steadiness in your solar plexus.
And maybe a message rising through your feet from the earth.
Just stand here.
Stay true.
And move when it's time.
Letting the phrases,
The gifts settle in your body.
Soft pause.
Steady heart.
Clear yes.
Clear no.
Soft pause.
Steady heart.
Clear yes.
Clear no.
And now let's anchor this medicine.
Anchor this gift.
First your feet.
Grounded.
Connected.
Present.
I am here.
Second,
Your heart.
Soft.
Human.
Brave.
I choose love without self abandonment.
And third,
Your solar plexus.
Steady personal power.
Not loud.
Not frantic.
Steady.
I trust myself.
And if you like,
You can ask Mountain Lion,
Give me a phrase for this week.
And then take time to thank Mountain Lion.
Mountain Lion,
Hand on your heart.
Thank you,
Mountain Lion.
Thank you for reminding me who I am.
Thank you for teaching me quiet power.
And Mountain Lion,
In their own time,
Steps back into the dusk.
No drama.
Just clean ending.
Because that is also the medicine.
Seal your guardian still with you.
Eagle in the east.
Clear vision.
Jaguar in the south.
Brave heart.
Whale in the west.
Deep release.
Wolf in the north.
Grounded instinct.
Dragon above.
Protected light.
And serpent below.
Steady earth.
Begin to sense your body again.
The room around you.
The air in your skin.
The support beneath you.
The slow inhale.
And a long exhale.
And gently say it.
My space is sacred.
My energy is mine.
My yes is clear.
My no is clear.
May you walk into your days with Mountain Lion medicine in your bones.
Not louder,
Not harder,
But clearer.
May your boundaries be simple.
May your heart stay soft.
May your choices feel clean.
And when you need it,
Remember.
Steady pause.
Soft heart.
Clear yes.
Clear no.
When you're ready,
Wiggle your toes and fingers.
Take one deep breath in.
And slow breath out.
Then open your eyes.
Welcome back.
Welcome home.
