Make your way to a comfortable position.
Whatever that is for you.
Perhaps it's sitting with your legs crisscrossed applesauce.
Or maybe it feels right to lay down for this experience.
That's okay as well.
Just allow your body to rest wherever it is.
Feel yourself breathing in.
And feel yourself releasing as you exhale.
Where does that breath land in your body as you inhale?
Feel where that breath is headed.
As you exhale.
Feel yourself relaxing even deeper.
Begin to visualize yourself in a sacred place in nature.
See it.
Sense it.
Feel it.
Perhaps you're at the beach.
You can see crystal blue water out in front of you.
Or maybe you're in a meadow.
You can see all these beautiful wildflowers in different colors.
Or perhaps you're on the top of a mountain and you can see out all around you.
Just take in all the sights that you can see from where you are right now in this moment.
Perhaps you're not able to visualize anything and that's okay.
Maybe you can just sense where you are in this moment.
Perhaps you can tap into the sense of touch.
You can feel the earth under your feet.
What does that feel like?
What does it feel like if you place your hands on different parts of nature around you?
Maybe you can feel sand or the bark of a tree or rocks.
Just tap into what you can feel where you are.
Off in the distance.
You see a shadowy figure in the form of a friend,
A guide,
Making their way towards you.
This guide gets closer and closer.
You begin to make out the shape of the antlers.
You can see the fur and two eyes looking back at you.
There's a beautiful elk making its way towards you.
Symbol of the divine masculine of the father.
This stable and resilient guide is making his way to you to help you with some releasing.
As the elk approaches you,
You take a moment to just ask what they would like you to call them.
Sometimes guides don't have names that we understand,
But it's a sound or vibration or feeling.
Whatever it is that they want you to call them,
Allow that to come to you and unfold for you.
It will be different for everyone.
Once they've shared with you what they would like for you to call them,
Ask them if they are willing to support you today in releasing of some energy.
If they say no,
Ask them if they can take you to a guide that will assist you with the releasing of some energy today.
Now,
From where you are,
We are going to breathe together.
As you breathe in,
You will feel your body relaxing deeper.
As you exhale,
Visualize smoke coming out.
Allow this elk to provide the grounding and stabilizing presence as you breathe out the smoke energy that is no longer serving you.
United we inhale.
Breathe down into your belly,
Creating a nice big Buddha belly.
Exhale bringing navel back to spine.
Perhaps it feels good to have a sound.
Inhale again.
Exhale that smoke.
Inhale.
Exhale smoke.
Inhale again.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Keep breathing deeply,
Allowing all of that energy that is meant to go to leave your body.
Allow this grounding elk to help bring in an energy that is fully established in yourself and relates to your core values.
An energy that helps you stand firm in who you are,
Rooted in your being.
And as you exhale,
You are releasing anything that is not in alignment with your soul and your soul's purpose.
As you inhale deeply,
You bring in all of the love and beauty of the planet.
As you exhale,
You release whatever is no longer serving.
Continuing on with your breathing,
Feeling yourself deepening into this moment with this breath and this guide.
Exhaling and releasing anything that is meant to go.
And as you're breathing and exhaling,
You begin to see that that smoke gets lighter and lighter.
You can see that it is not nearly as heavy as it was or perhaps it's no longer there at all.
Your breath,
Your prana,
Your life force energy is exactly what can bring you back into alignment.
Your heart is the portal to access your guides.
Your body is the vehicle in which you are able to fully live.
And so with each breath,
You invite in some more life.
And with each exhale,
You release more fear,
Doubt,
Low vibrational energy.
Breathing in more of what your soul is craving.
Exhaling and releasing more and more,
Deeper and deeper.
This elk is a supportive,
Kind and consistent guide.
They are here for you for this releasing process.
As the light gets brighter,
The smoke gets dimmer.
As you inhale,
You're able to really powerfully release with each exhale,
Allowing in that life force energy to help support this healing process.
Eventually that smoke becomes lighter and lighter.
You can shift your awareness back to this beautiful elk that is here supporting you in this moment and this healing.
This elk has a message for you.
A message about stability,
Resilience,
Balance,
Support.
Allow this elk to give you the message that is meant to come to you today.
Sometimes the messages are not in words we understand,
But in actions or in a feeling or a sound or a vibration.
Whatever that is,
Just allow it to unfold for you and know that it is for you in this moment right now directly from your guides.
Ask this elk how to be respected for acting in ways that uphold your values.
What can they bring for you in that area right now?
Feeling yourself deepening into this moment with this guide.
You ask them how they would like to be honored every day.
What can you do to honor this elk in your day-to-day life?
How can you continue on with these practices?
How do they want to be respected?
Allow those answers to come to you.
Allow yourself to gain clarity in this moment with this breath.
And now from where you are,
You can see yourself holding out your breath.
You can see yourself holding out two fists in front of you.
As you gently open your left hand in the palm of your left hand is an offering,
Something for you to leave the elk.
What is this gift?
What is this offering for your elk?
After you leave your offering with the elk,
You take your right fist,
Which was also in front of you,
And gently open it up.
And in the palm of your right hand is an offering for you to leave Mother Earth.
We always honor the indigenous tribes whose land we are on.
So here where I am in the world,
I honor the Wapatjur tribe as well as the Munsee Lenape tribe.
Take a moment now to just send some love and healing in that direction and know that when you come out of this journey space,
You will go and look it up so you know how to honor them next time.
And then you begin to say goodbye to your moose,
I'm sorry,
Your elk,
Thanking them for the healing that they've assisted with today.
And begin to come back into your body,
Back into this moment with this breath,
Feeling yourself breathing in deeply.
Coming out with an audible sound.
Another powerful breath in.
Releasing again with some sound.
Another deep breath in and release.
Begin to bring small movements to your body.
Gently wiggling fingers and toes.
When you're ready and only when you're ready,
Make your way back up to a comfortable seat.
