Close your eyes and imagine that somewhere beneath the surface of the ocean There is a place that has been waiting for you.
Not a place that you need to find.
But a place you only need to remember.
Together we are going to go beneath the water.
Down into the silence.
Down into the blue.
And somewhere in those depths is an ancient temple.
A temple that knows your name.
Taking a slow,
Deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Allow yourself to begin descending.
You don't need to know how you will get there.
You don't need to understand what you're going to find.
Just allow the ocean to hold you.
You are completely safe here.
With every inhale and every exhale.
You are letting go of the room around you.
And sinking more deeply.
Into yourself.
Opening up your inner eye.
You are standing at the edge of a vast turquoise ocean.
The water is warm and lapping against your toes.
And all you can hear.
Is the sound of the waves.
Beneath the surface.
Of this sound.
Something is calling to you.
Not with words.
But with energy.
With a feeling.
As though some ancient part of you is whispering Taking another slow,
Deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
You step into the water.
The ocean welcomes you.
It wraps around your feet.
Your calves,
Your knees.
With every step on the soft sand you feel the water rise to your thighs your pelvis,
Your hips.
Your fingertips.
Up your torso.
Up your arms.
Until it reaches your chest There's nothing to be afraid of.
As you dip your head.
Beneath the surface.
Because where we are travelling.
.
.
You can still breathe.
You are fully capable.
Of immersing yourself in the water,
In the ocean's depths.
It is easy.
It is comfortable and you are held.
And as the water gets deeper,
You're no longer walking.
On the bed of the ocean.
You're simply being pulled down.
Descending.
Descending.
Descending.
And above you,
The surface becomes a shimmering veil of light.
Below you,
The blue deepens.
Turquoise becomes sapphire.
Sapphire becomes indigo.
And still you descend.
With each part of this descent.
With every exhale,
With every bubble that flows through your mouth as you breathe out.
You're going to let go of something you no longer need to carry.
The expectations of others.
The pressure to have everything figured out.
The fear that you are behind.
Let them all fall away.
The ocean can hold them all.
And then.
You see it.
Far below you there is a golden light.
And at first,
It is barely visible.
But it grows brighter the further you descend towards it.
And slowly an enormous temple emerges from the darkness.
Ancient columns covered in delicate carvings.
Pearlescent stone.
Crystals embedded into the walls.
Golden light glowing from within.
It feels impossibly old.
And yet strangely familiar.
And as your feet touch the ground in front of the temple.
You realize something.
You have been here before.
Perhaps not in this lifetime.
Perhaps not in the way you can explain.
But a part of you remembers.
And as you swim towards the entrance the great doors open before you.
As you make contact with the temple,
Your feet touch the stone ground.
Taking a deep breath in.
.
.
And out.
As the doors close behind you.
The room is no longer underwater.
Your body is dry,
Your hair is flowing.
You are safe and protected inside a circular chamber within this temple.
The only place where you can now see water.
Is in a pool.
That is perfectly still in the center of the room.
Walking towards it.
Kneel beside the pool.
And look down into the surface.
At first you might only see your reflection.
And then the water will begin to move.
Images may arise.
A person,
A place.
A feeling.
A memory.
Simply receive whatever comes forward.
Asking yourself quietly.
What am I ready to remember?
And wait for the answer to come.
Let the answers flow to you in exactly how they need to.
The water clears before you.
And it begins to glow.
A soft golden light rises from the pool.
And it's almost as though the water is moving towards you.
Placing your hands on the surface,
It moves into your body.
Up through your arms.
And landing in your heart.
And this light is not giving you something you don't already have.
It is awakening something that was already there.
Something that has been waiting beneath the surface.
Placing a hand over your heart.
Repeating.
The following affirmations.
I remember who I am.
I trust what I know.
I allow my wisdom to rise.
I do not need to become someone else.
I only need to return to myself.
Staying here for a moment.
In the temple.
In the stillness.
With the part of you that remembers.
You'll notice.
Beneath the palm that pressed against your chest.
There is now a sacred crystal in your hand.
This is a gift from Atlantis.
Take note.
Of exactly what the crystal looks like,
What it feels like.
And get ready to take it home with you.
Banking the temple.
Thanking the ocean.
Thanking whatever part of yourself brought you here today.
And begin walking back towards the entrance.
As the golden doors open.
You ascend back out into the ocean.
Slowly but surely.
You are carried on the currents.
Higher and higher.
Slowly returning to the surface.
The deeper blue becomes lighter.
Indigo becomes sapphire.
Sapphire becomes turquoise.
And eventually you see the surface above you.
The light.
The warmth.
And life itself glimmering through the surface.
And as your face breaches the surface of the water,
Taking a deep breath in.
You are safe.
You are here.
You are back in your body but you have brought something with you.
The crystal that sits in your hand.
The messages that you felt from the pool at the Temple of Atlantis.
A sacred remembering has begun.
And it is always awaiting your return.
When you're ready.
Gently moving your fingers.
Your toes.
Stretching your body and slowly opening your eyes as you return to the room.
Carrying the feeling.
Of that temple within you knowing that you can return whenever you need.
And knowing that.
Atlantis was never somewhere you needed to find.
It was always something waiting within you.
