Let's get started by taking a deep breath into the heart center,
Exhaling and surrendering your body to the earth,
Bringing all of your attention and awareness to your breath.
On your next exhale,
Send a root from the base of your spine deep down into the center of the earth.
Watch your root move through the dark soil.
Watch other roots come to meet yours from ancient trees as they wrap themselves around you.
With every exhale,
You allow yourself to surrender deeper,
Allowing them to hold you in this place.
And from high in the cosmos,
The sun begins to pour this beautiful golden light all the way down into your crown,
Settling the mind,
Asking it to rest as you come into the heart.
With every inhale,
Pull that light in.
With every exhale,
Imagine it taking your thoughts as the roots take them down into the earth.
And as you breathe,
You remind yourself you are not your body,
You are not your thoughts,
You are not only your human experience,
You are soul,
Life force,
Divinity.
And as you allow the above and below to cleanse your container,
On your next exhale breath,
Crack open your heart center,
Your portal to the other realm.
See this beautiful glowing orb of light.
Send it out of your body.
Notice the color and the texture as it begins to swirl around you.
With every exhale,
You expand that light even further,
Until all you can see and feel is this beautiful cosmic light.
Suddenly an ethereal veil appears,
The veil to the other realm.
You take your hand,
Sliding it across the veil,
And find yourself stepping out into a desert.
Allow your landscape to appear around you.
You feel the soft sand underneath your feet,
The warm sun on your skin,
Allowing yourself to dream,
To see whatever is meant to meet you here,
Trusting everything that comes into your vision.
And then I want you to call on a helping spirit animal to meet you.
From above or below,
They make their way into this landscape,
And they are here to take you on a journey to align yourself with your yes and your no,
To connect deeply,
To awaken to your own inner wisdom,
And bringing all of your attention and awareness to your body.
Close your eyes,
Putting one hand on your heart and the other on top of your hand,
And I want you to think of all of your inner wisdom,
All of your deepest knowing and truth,
As an energy inside of your body.
You can even think of the energy of your ancestors,
Your grandmother,
Your grandfather,
The wisdom that is in your blood and DNA,
Bringing it all up to the surface of your heart.
As you take a deep breath in,
Exhale,
And send that wisdom out as a helping spirit guide.
Your guide appears before you,
In human or ethereal form.
They stand in front of you,
Arms stretched out,
Holding a stone in each hand.
One is white,
One is black,
Maybe it is made of crystal or obsidian stone,
Trust what you see.
The guide places a stone in each one of your hands,
One representing your yes,
And one representing your no.
Bringing your attention and awareness back to the center of your heart,
Asking your heart for wisdom and guidance,
Asking which stone is my yes.
Now tune the stone to your yes,
Sending light from the center of your heart right into the stone.
Feel the energy of your yes,
That feeling when you know,
When you know it is time to move forward,
When you know it is what you desire,
When you know it is your truth.
Now you ask,
Show me my no.
As that energy comes up into your body and heart,
Sending out of your arm and to your hand and to that stone,
Feeling your energy of no,
That deep knowing when something is not in alignment,
Is not what you desire or seek,
What is not meant to be.
Now test your stones with a simple question,
Something easy,
Closing both of your hands over the stone,
Asking your heart a simple question,
Am I hungry?
Now your helping spirit guide tells you,
You have been called here to learn to trust yourself,
Your innermost wisdom.
To begin a practice of moving from the head to the heart for guidance.
So I want you to think about what is most deeply top of your heart in this moment,
A choice that needs to be made.
Asking your heart yes or no,
Seeing which hand opens,
And if neither hand opens,
Your heart might be telling you you are not ready to choose,
And in that lies your answer.
The truth is the most deepest part of yourself knows exactly what you desire,
Exactly what choice is pulling on your heart strings.
So be here with your inner wisdom until you feel complete,
Knowing at any time you can return to this place,
Return to your stones of yes and no.
