Let's get started by taking a deep breath into your heart.
Exhale letting go,
Surrendering your body to the earth.
Let's do that again,
Big inhale in.
Exhaling allow your body to sink deeper,
Bringing all of your attention and your awareness to your breath.
And as you begin to come into a practice of being in the present moment,
Allow all of the thoughts and attachments to float by you.
Beginning with your breath,
With every exhale you surrender,
You can say,
Thank you,
I see you.
You can even put your hand on your heart or in the center of your chest to remind you exactly where you are in this moment.
And from the earth below you,
Imagine thousands of strands of beautiful colored lights begin to come up from the soil.
These energy cords being sent to you from ancient tree roots all around the world.
The medicine of something greater and more expansive comes towards you up from the earth and wraps itself around you in this beautiful cocoon of light.
With your inhale breath,
Pull that light into your body.
And when you exhale,
You can surrender anything that isn't serving to those cords.
They're here to take it from you.
Now bring all of your attention and awareness right into the center of your chest.
As we begin this journey into our heart center,
We ask our minds to rest so we can really hear our hearts.
Taking a really big deep breath in,
When you exhale,
Imagine cracking open your heart center.
This beautiful color of light expands from your body.
Another big deep breath in,
You exhale and you expand that light even further.
Notice the color of your light,
Gold,
Emerald,
White,
Purples,
Greens or blue.
Keep sending that light further with every exhale breath until you can see that light filling up the room around you.
And as you see yourself wrapped in light of spirit,
Immersed in the light of your heart,
This beautiful ethereal veil appears.
This is the veil to the other realm.
And you take your hand sliding it across the veil and you find yourself stepping out into a clearing in a forest.
And the sun is shining brightly down on you,
Illuminating the different greens of the trees.
These giant ancient trees with thick trunks and roots deeply rooted into the earth surround you.
Beautiful colors of flowers.
You can feel the soil underneath your feet and the grass coming up between your toes.
You are safe,
Supported.
What do you want to see and feel here?
And allow it to appear around you.
And then I want you to call in a helping spirit animal to meet you.
They make their way from above or below.
This might be an animal you've worked with before,
Something you've felt connected to.
It might be something entirely new or you don't think it belongs in the landscape.
Just trust what you see.
Trust your heart to show you what's needed.
And your helping spirit animal is here to help you journey to find your fool.
This archetype and guide that lives deep inside of you,
That wants to express themselves fully.
Wants freedom from fear.
Wants to step into the unknown.
This part of you searching for experience.
And so you follow your helping spirit animal deeper into the forest.
You can hear the air rustling the leaves.
And you follow them along until you get to a big clearing.
You come to a cliff's edge.
And far off in the distance you see this beautiful mountain.
And the edge,
The unknown,
Can often be a scary thing for us in our lives.
We like to know what is on the other side of that cliff.
We don't want to walk too close.
Sometimes we tie ourselves to people,
Places,
Or things to keep us safe.
So I want you to stand here as you look at this mountain.
You place one hand in the center of your chest and the other one right on top of it.
And first I want you to think with your mind,
Have I ever experienced the energy of the fool?
Have I ever felt the ultimate freedom from fear of the unknown?
Have I ever felt fully able to express myself without fear or judgment?
Having compassion for what comes forward.
And if you're having a hard time accessing that from a past experience,
Ask to be shown somewhere you've seen this.
Or someone you've seen this from.
Or maybe what you would imagine it to feel like and look like.
And as you're thinking of these things,
I want you to bring the thoughts into your heart as an energy body.
Imagine pulling all this energy of the fool into your belly and into your heart center,
Just filling yourself up.
You can use your breath and take deep breaths in to help you.
And now I want you to take a really big deep breath in,
Exhale,
And send the fool out of your body and allow that energy to take shape in the form of a guide.
You might see color,
You might see a version of yourself,
A loved one,
Maybe even a character in a film.
You might just see color,
See your fool in its full freedom of expression,
Walking,
Dancing,
Skipping,
Cartwheeling dangerously close to that cliff.
They neither see nor care.
They are present with you.
They have a pack on their shoulder,
And this represents their medicine bag.
They come to you and lay that pack down at your feet,
Asking what tools do you have in your medicine bag so that you might dance with me?
What tools do you need?
What can I put in here for you?
They then hand you this staff that represents strength and grounding,
And they ask you,
What is your staff made of?
What helps you stay grounded?
What helps you walk along?
What helps you keep going when you don't want to keep going anymore?
And if you don't have that,
What do you need from me?
What medicine can I put into this staff for you?
And you see this animal that you didn't notice before,
This small little dog running around,
Jumping around at you and your fool's feet.
This animal represents spirit,
Protection.
May you always know that you will be held and taken care of if you fall off the cliff or jump into the unknown.
Feel into that protection.
Maybe you've felt it before in your life,
Or maybe you're asking to feel it now,
That you are truly and divinely loved.
And now your fool invites you to let go of your fear and dance with them on the cliff,
To yell and scream or let go,
To cut ties with anything that is holding you back,
To allow yourself a moment of pure personal freedom and bliss.
What would it look and feel like to allow myself to be led by the fool,
And what area of my life do I need this the most?
Embody it,
Imagine it,
Dance with it.
Your fool reminds you at any time you can return to this place.
Look at that mountain in the distance and keep going.
You take your pack,
Your staff,
And the helping spirit animal.
You breathe the fool back into your body with the intention of bringing it back into your 3D realm.
As you stare out at the beautiful mountain and you step up to that cliff free of fear from falling,
You thank your most highest self for taking you on this journey.
And with one last big deep breath in,
Exhale letting go,
You allow the landscape to disappear around you as you come back into your body,
Back into the space,
Opening your eyes when you're ready.
