And then,
Wherever you are,
Just allow your energy to settle.
Go ahead and shut down your eyes.
And just connect to your breath.
There is no need to alter it or change it.
Just begin to connect to it.
Feel what it feels like as you inhale.
Feel what it feels like as you exhale.
Feel your energy settling in.
Begin to visualize the four walls of the room,
Ceiling and the floor,
And your body where it is.
Have a sense of the space around you.
Feel into the different spaces.
Space to space.
Breath to breath.
Allowing a wave of relaxation to wash over you.
You can settle here in this space.
Begin to see,
Sense,
And feel yourself in a sacred place in nature.
You can have some awareness around a big starry night sky from where you are in nature.
And as you look up at the sky,
You see one star that twinkles a little differently than all of the others.
Access the energy of that one star.
Just feel the connection as if it were a beam of bright,
Bright light shining down,
Making its way through the top of your crown chakra and into your whole being.
Feel yourself connecting through the top of your head to that bright,
Bright twinkling star.
Knowing that that light is within you and that light is here to guide you,
To help you see through the dark.
Inhale.
Exhale.
As you're connecting with this light,
You begin to notice that it has taken a form.
The form of a bat.
A lit up bat.
Allow this twinkling star like bat to descend from the sky.
Making its way down to you.
And once it makes its way down to you,
I invite you to have a conversation with this bat.
Ask it whatever you feel called to ask.
Perhaps it's a question about navigating through the dark.
About seeing the unseen.
What is it that this bat can bring you in message form right now?
Allow it to share its message with you.
And now allow this bat to take you on a journey.
Perhaps you hop on its back and you fly into the night sky.
Or maybe it flies alongside you as you walk from where you are.
Or perhaps this bat takes you to a secret portal that brings you to a different place altogether.
Allow this bat to guide you.
Without the need to control,
Without the need to know where you're going,
Know that you are very safe here.
And this bat is a friend.
It is here to help heal you.
It's here to help show you your inner light so you can shine brightly amongst all of the darkness.
All of the shadows.
Allow this bat to take you as you're going.
Eventually,
The bat leads you to a space that is dark.
Perhaps it's a cave,
Maybe it's somewhere underground.
And in this dark space,
You feel very calm and very safe.
Almost as if it were as comfortable as your most joyous moment.
Find that sense of peace and comfort in this space.
And allow this new friend to show you around this healing chamber.
This is a place for you to relax.
This is a place for you to root in and ground down.
And this is a place for you to access some very deep healing.
From this sacred space,
Allow this bat to help you with a healing that you need.
Perhaps this bat finds some crystals or some stones and places them on your body and you feel the change.
Or maybe this bat wraps you up in the earth,
Wraps you in some leaves or some dirt and allows the earth to bring that healing energy to your being.
Allow this bat to show you your own unique way of healing.
Allow this guide to show you how you can heal yourself because you are a powerful healer.
You are your most powerful healer.
Allow this guide to teach you how you can heal yourself.
Perhaps it shows you a ritual that you can do.
Or maybe it is showing you a different practice to engage in daily.
Allow this guide to show you exactly how you can heal your own body,
Mind and soul.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale.
Another full deep breath in.
And release.
And now the invitation is to ask the bat how you can honor it going forward.
How can you connect with this energy where you feel supported and guided day to day?
What can you do to heal yourself?
Allow this guide to share this knowledge and wisdom with you.
Perhaps your thinking mind doesn't understand the symbolism that the bat is showing you right now.
That's okay.
All of it will make sense as it needs to.
Everything was,
Is and always will be perfect.
From inside of this dark space where you are with this bat,
You begin to gather some materials to make a fire.
Perhaps the fire just is already existing in front of you.
Take a moment to create this little fire in front of you.
Feeling the heat from the flame.
Feeling the different sensations,
The different energies that come from a fire.
Begin to release negative energy into that fire.
Any energy that is lower vibrational,
Any energy that is no longer serving you.
Exhale.
And let it all out into that fire.
Fire is the element that helps transmute energy.
And as we navigate through the darkness,
The bat is here as a messenger to help us release whatever is in the shadow.
Bring it to the light.
Whatever from that energy is no longer serving you,
Offer it to the fire and allow the fire to transmute that energy for you.
Inhale.
Exhale whatever is no longer serving you into the fire.
Inhale.
Exhale whatever is holding you back.
Inhale.
Exhale energy that needs to be released.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Do three more deep breaths on your own,
Exhaling any last little bit of energy that needs to be released.
And now allow this bat to help guide you back.
Back to your sacred place in nature where this all started.
Retracing your steps all along the way so you remember everywhere that you've been.
And once you make your way back to that sacred place in nature.
You recognize that in your left hand.
There is an offering a donation to give this bat for helping guide you through this shadowy process.
Donations are always appreciated.
Offerings are always appreciated.
Leave this gift with your bat and also give it some gratitude in whatever way that looks like for you.
We honor the natives whose land we are on.
Here in New York,
Where I am.
It is the Munsee Lenape tribe.
As well as the Wapinger tribe.
In the chat box is a website where you can find out exactly whose land you are on and how you can honor them.
Take a moment in gratitude for any guides who showed up today.
The bat as well as any other guides that you have connected with.
A moment in gratitude for ourselves.
For committing to this practice,
For committing to connecting with our guides.
Gently bring your awareness back.
Wiggle fingers and toes.
When you're ready,
You can open your eyes.
Come back to me.
