Dragon Medicine – A Guided Energetic Journey

The poet, Rainer Maria Rilke said, “Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.” What is waiting in your life to be birthed by connecting with the courage of the Dragon medicine within you?

Hi,

I'm Shannon and grateful to have you here today on our guided visualization,

Spending time with dragon medicine.

First I'll talk a little bit about working with the energy of dragons,

And then I'll talk about my approach and the purpose of the guided visualization.

When working with dragon energy or dragon medicine,

Dragons have the ability to swim or fly or walk between worlds.

They are the symbol of courage,

Of power and strength,

And yet able to find peace through courage.

There's greater possibilities when working with dragon energy to have epiphanies or aha moments in your life because you're connecting with their magic.

Our intention today behind working with the energy of the dragons is to be able to come into our own strength and power,

And yet at the same time,

To go slowly,

To soften into our life,

And yet at the same time,

To be able to take action when it's time.

Working with dragon energy also allows us to become more confident in ourselves and our own energy.

Dragon medicine brings powerful healing into our lives by connecting at the cellular level with our cells,

Our DNA,

Also our brain and how we're wired.

We are able to change these parts of ourselves by taking our own inherent strength and coming into our full power,

While at the same time bringing understanding at those weaknesses we might have that can then become strength.

Dragon medicine also helps us find the ability to find peace and activate miracles within our own life.

We come into the understanding that,

Collectively,

We are all one,

Not just all one people,

But all one,

Connected to the energy that runs throughout all of life,

Not only here on earth,

But throughout the star system,

Throughout the larger cosmos.

All of our energies play with one another and affect each other all the time.

We're connecting with the earth,

With the trees,

With the clouds and the wind,

With the seen and unseen,

With the flowers and the animals,

With the water,

That all of this is inherently inside of ourselves.

How I like to work with this type of energy is from the tradition in which you're using your imagination,

Your mind,

To activate that journey and connection with the unseen realm.

I encourage you to have fun with this exercise in meeting your dragon.

Today we'll take just an initial journey to see what dragon wants to work with you today.

Who will come forward?

What will they look like?

What will their energy emanate as you connect with them?

And then the chance in your imagination to go into a journey in flight with the dragon that connects with you.

There's a quote I'd like to read to you,

And it comes from the Tree Keeper's Oracle book written by Angie Sullins.

It says this,

So many of us sweep our discomforts under the rug where they'll be less threatening,

Less likely to disrupt our state of comfort.

But playing the game of life requires you to know when to confront as well as when to retreat.

This moment challenges you to stand in your power and confront what seems overwhelming,

Intimidating,

Or scary at times.

Crisis is the companion of opportunity.

So look beyond the surface of the opportunity calling you out of your comfort zone.

As Rilke said,

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act just once with beauty and courage.

Perhaps everything that frightens us is,

In its deepest essence,

Something helpless that wants our love.

As you connect with the energy of the dragon who would like to work with you today,

I encourage you to open yourself up to see how you might find more power and strength inside of yourself than you might give yourself credit for.

What I'd like you to do in this next moment of silence is take the time to set an intention for yourself about what you'd like to do by connecting with your dragon.

What is it that you're needing the dragon's help with in your life?

So take this time to set your intention.

By doing so,

What you'll do through the guided journey is attract the dragon energy that you're needing to help you accomplish this intention.

When you're ready,

I'll have you close your eyes and think about that intention that you'd like to set.

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

Now let's go on this guided visualization and journey and have fun connecting with the dragon's energy.

I'll have you close your eyes and begin to connect with the breath of your body connected to the earth.

Feeling the gentle rise and fall of your stomach and chest.

Your breath filling your whole body and your body beginning to relax into the connection and support of the earth beneath you.

With your eyes closed,

I'll have you imagine standing in front of your third eye.

As you stand in front of this doorway of your third eye,

Connect with it imagining what it looks like.

If you reach out and touch the doorway,

What does the texture of the door feel like under your fingers?

As the energy of your hand moves through you and touches the doorway,

It recognizes who you are and a brilliant doorway of light opens in front of you.

The doorway into yourself,

Into your imagination.

What color is that doorway of light now?

Take time to connect with the energy,

The feeling,

The color of the light emanating from this open doorway of your third eye.

As you feel the energy of the third eye doorway surrounding you,

It almost feels as if it's pulling you into the doorway.

When you're ready,

Step through that doorway of light and as you step through the other side,

You find yourself standing inside of a castle at the top of a staircase.

You look around you,

Seeing the brick,

You reach out and touch the walls of the castle that are high above you,

Candlelight flickering all around you.

When you're ready,

You begin to make your way down the staircase as it spirals downward to the first floor.

Beautiful art decorates the walls of the castle as you descend the staircase.

Allow yourself to look at all the colors of the art,

The castle walls and the flickering light of the candles until you come down to the bottom of the staircase on the first floor of the castle.

Taking your last step off of the stairway,

You see ahead of you there are two beautiful doors that lead out of the castle and onto the lawn.

Make your way to those castle doors,

Gently pushing on them and opening them up.

You see across the lawn there is a bridge that makes its way across a body of water from the castle and farther out into the landscape of this beautiful terrain in front of you.

Allow yourself now to cross this bridge,

Seeing the water underneath you as it goes under the bridge and around the castle.

Stepping off of the bridge,

You step onto a beautiful path of green and rocky field of grass that leads you across the landscape.

Allow yourself to follow this path where it leads out further into the distance of this beautiful land,

Taking in the clouds,

The sky.

As you breathe in the air around you,

You notice the smell of salt and water on the breeze.

The smell of salt and water calls you off of the path for a moment to wander out into the grass and plains in front of you.

As it pulls you towards the smell of the salt and water on the air,

You now see that you stand not on an area that is flat,

But an area that is high above an ocean on a cliff.

As you get closer to the edge,

Out in the distance,

You can see that you stand on these beautiful white cliffs,

Like the white cliffs of Dover,

And down below the ocean cascades on the beach,

You watch the tide coming in and rolling out.

Now turning around,

You go back onto the path that you were on,

And see as it wanders through the grass and stony terrain,

It curves,

And as it turns around the curve in the corner,

You see large figures up ahead grazing on grass.

The closer you get to these figures,

You see that there are dozens of dragons congregating on the cliff,

Some are grazing on the grass,

Some are taking off into the air and diving down into the water,

Some are taking off and flying up into the sky,

Becoming clouds.

You notice that the dragons are all different shapes,

Colors,

And sizes,

And as you get closer they seem to be foraging on grass and vegetation.

You stop on the path for a moment and close your eyes.

Before approaching the dragons,

You bring the intention that you set earlier into your mind and your heart about the dragon who could help you connect with the intention you've set.

Allow yourself to bring forward that intention.

With the intention now forward in your mind and heart,

You open your eyes and your imagination and begin to walk forward,

Moving through all of the dragons.

There are some who pay you no attention,

There are some that notice you but go back to grazing,

There are some,

However,

That turn towards you in recognition as you approach and step forward.

For each of the dragons with whom step forward,

Now is time to find the dragon who can work with you today.

Allow yourself to connect with each of the dragons who has come forward to meet you.

In order to see which dragon it is that you will work with,

You'll allow the dragon to bend forward,

Bringing his forehead towards you.

As the dragon bows forward,

Allow yourself with the palm of your hand to reach out and place your palm on the dragon's forehead.

If the dragon is yours,

The one that you are meant to work with today,

The energy of your hand will open up and illuminate the dragon's scales,

Lighting them up.

If nothing happens,

That's okay,

This one isn't your dragon today.

So allow yourself over this next moment of silence to meet with several dragons until you find the one who's connected with you,

With your energy,

With your intention,

Whose scales light up brilliantly at your touch.

Allow yourself this time now.

Now that you have connected with the dragon who wishes to work with you,

Take this time to step back and see what does your dragon look like?

How big or small is it?

What colors are its scales?

What do its wings look like?

When you touch his or her scales,

What do they feel like under your hand?

Take this next moment of silence to connect with the shape,

Feel,

Color,

And size of your dragon.

And what is the energy coming off of your dragon as you connect with him or her?

And now let's connect with your dragon's power.

Your dragon leans forward,

Once again presenting his or her forehead.

You lean forward as well and place your forehead,

Your third eye,

On the forehead of your dragon.

Closing your eyes,

You feel the energy moving between you and your dragon connecting with his or her energy,

And your dragon will show you through sight,

Feel,

Sound,

Or touch,

What his or her strength or power is.

It could be the power of love,

It could be the power of light,

The power of healing or the power of strength,

The power of freedom,

Or the power of sound.

Allow your dragon to share with you now what his or her strength or power is.

You thank your dragon for sharing the strength,

Energy,

And power of him or herself.

And now to connect more deeply with the energy and medicine of your dragon,

We'll go on a ride.

Your dragon may be a dragon of the air,

Who moves through the clouds and might take you up into flight.

Your dragon may be a water dragon and might take you through the flight into the water.

Your dragon might be both of air,

Wind,

And water.

In your imagination,

Your dragon bends forward so that you might step onto his or her back.

If your dragon is small,

You might imagine holding your dragon in your hands,

Who will then take you on a ride energetically.

Connecting with the energy of your dragon now,

In your imagination closing your eyes,

Your dragon activates his or her energy or power and moves you through realms of time and space,

Either air or water,

Taking you on a journey of flight.

Allow yourself to be carried with your dragon's energy.

Now in your imagination,

You open your eyes and find that your dragon has brought you to where he or she was born,

To his or her home.

You see it as a land and home of magic,

Light,

Imagination,

Sound,

And brilliant colors.

What does it look like and feel like?

Allow yourself to connect with the dragon's home now.

You take the time to ask your dragon to share with you,

Throughout your daily chores or work or home life,

How will you know when your dragon is with you?

What sign will he or she give you that helps you recognize that your dragon is with you?

Allow your dragon to share with you now.

And now that you know what signs or symbols dragon will use to connect with you through your daily life,

We'll now see if your dragon shares his or her name with you.

Names are sacred to dragons and they don't always readily share with people in the beginning.

Your dragon may or may not choose to share with you his or her name at this time.

You can ask your dragon to see if he or she shares his or her name.

You may ask your dragon now.

And now in this next moment of silence,

Allow your dragon to share his or her energy with you,

To begin your healing journey of medicine and that connection that you share with your dragon.

Receive your dragon's energy now.

Taking a deep breath in and exhaling.

When you're ready,

Your dragon once again bows down so that you might climb onto his or her back.

You close your eyes and allow your dragon to begin to move back towards the vale from which you entered the dragon's land and bring you back to the cliffs on which you were standing at the beginning of this journey.

Allow yourself to be carried back,

Back to where we started.

Feel the energy of the air or water moving around you as you travel with the dragon.

In your imagination opening your eyes and seeing that you are landing back on the cliffs.

Your dragon bows so that you might step down and step back onto the ground beneath you.

Your dragon now bows forward.

You thank your dragon by bending forward and placing your forehead,

Your third eye against his or her forehead.

When you're ready now,

You turn around and allow yourself to walk back towards the castle.

You make your way down the pathway,

Over the grass and rocky terrain,

Back to the bridge,

Crossing over the body of water that surrounds the castle,

Through the doorways,

And up the staircase spiraling upward into the castle.

At the top of the staircase inside the castle you see that beautiful energy and doorway of light from where you stepped into the space.

Standing in front of this doorway of light,

You feel the energy of your dragon moving through you,

Carrying his or her power and strength inside of you,

Bringing it back with you,

Taking a deep breath in,

And as you exhale stepping through that third eye doorway of light,

Standing back in front of the third eye doorway of yourself.

You turn around,

Reach out and touch the third eye doorway of light,

And as you touch it the doorway closes.

As you look at your hand in front of you,

You see that you are glowing and illuminated from within,

Filled with the energy and light of your dragon.

You feel the strength,

The connection,

The light and the gratitude of the dragon's breath moving through your whole body,

Inhaling and exhaling,

Knowing that this energy will help you bring to life the intention that you set for yourself.

And on the next breath,

Coming back into this physical space with your body,

With me here in this time now,

Taking a deep breath in and exhaling,

Coming back to this moment.

And when you're ready,

Opening your eyes and allowing yourself to just gently stretch your whole body,

Becoming present with your fingers and toes,

Your legs and arms,

Your hands and feet,

Your shoulders and back,

Your head and neck.

Thank you so much for taking this time to meet the dragon that wishes to work with you in helping to bring your intention to life.

Allow yourself over the next few days,

Or weeks,

Or even months to continue connecting with his or her energy,

Allowing the dragon to share with you more about him or herself,

About his or her power,

Allowing your imagination to take more journeys with your dragon and bring that energy through you.

Dragon is the miracle that dances around us,

The energy of fire and light and water and power.

Dragon is the energy of peace and strength in times of challenge.

Dragon is creativity painted upon clouds.

Dragon is the flight,

Like angels' wings,

Bringing us up into illuminated spaces.

Dragons are beauty and mirth and laughter.

Dragons allow anger and healing and shelter.

May your dragon connect with you at your heart,

At your soul,

At your mind,

And may your dragon bless you with miracles and help your dreams to come true.

I wish you a beautiful and amazing day.

Namaste.
