Welcome,

Kindred Spirit.

I'll be your guide on this journey toward the communion with your Higher Self.

Many of us have forgotten that there's an aspect of our being that knows exactly what we're doing here,

Exactly where we're going and exactly how we're going to get there.

And even those of us that have had glimpses of our cosmic wisdom,

We still get bogged down in the minutiae of the mind and the cacophony of challenges that pull us into the limited thinking of the conscious mind.

Ideally,

We're working towards an awareness that is led by our Higher Self,

Which is the direct manifestation of our soul and is focused on our highest well-being.

And that guidance is then made manifest in the physical via the machinations of the doer in the physical world,

Which is our mind.

It is when our lives are only led by the narrow perspective of our human mind that we fall into the trappings of selfishness and separation.

This guided journey will help you reconnect to that intuitive heart bridge to your inner guru.

To begin this journey,

Make sure you're in a quiet place.

You can either sit or lay down,

Just make sure you can breathe deep and freely in your spine as you elongated.

Once you've found this position,

Soften into your body,

Into the awareness of being fully present with yourself in this moment and surrender.

Take a couple cleansing breaths.

Deep inhale through your nose and exhale fully out of your mouth.

One more time.

Deep breath into the deepest parts of your body and fully release all the tension you can out of your mouth with your exhale.

Now come back to soft natural breathing.

You are no longer controlling your breath,

But you are focusing on your breath as it effortlessly moves in and out of your body.

Now imagine a large white puffy dandelion when it's full of seeds.

Try to picture your hands and your feet like full white fluffy dandelions.

And with your next natural exhale,

Picture the breath like a gentle breeze.

Relax and release your hands and feet to the ether like the silken seeds of this dandelion floating away on the breeze.

And then picture your arms and legs like big puffy dandelions.

With your next natural exhalation,

Poof,

Your limbs release and relax,

Leaving you feeling light and free.

Picture your torso like one huge fluffy white dandelion and poof,

It dissipates into the ether.

You're so light and so free.

And finally,

Your heavy head with all of your thoughts is now a big fluffy dandelion.

And poof,

You are so relaxed as it leaves your body feeling nearly nonexistent.

And you are your essence hovering in the space of pure relaxation and pure consciousness.

Now I'm going to repeat a series of affirmations,

One for each of the seven chakras to help you become in tune in the simplest way with your work field and the layers that correspond to the chakras.

Keep in mind that the chakras are a complex tool for understanding yourself on a profound level and cannot be summed up through one simple practice.

But they are an involved intricate system within each of us.

The chakra system is yet another tool for deep self-awareness and healing.

But for this moment,

Begin by visualizing a ball of soft red light emanating around the base of your pelvis.

And repeat in your mind,

I trust that my physical needs are provided for.

I am safe and grounded in my physical body.

I trust that my physical needs are provided for.

I am safe and grounded in my physical body.

Moving up the body ever so slightly,

Now picture a soft circle of orange light encircling your body near your belly button.

And repeat internally to yourself,

I am the co-creator of my life.

I am in tune with my creative impulses and I allow them to flow freely.

I am in tune with my creative impulses and I allow them to flow freely.

Now imagine a soft yellow ball of light in the area around your solar plexus right above your navel.

And repeat to yourself,

I honor who I am.

I have a powerful sense of self-worth and I follow my passions.

I honor who I am.

I have a powerful sense of self-worth and I follow my passions.

Imagine a ball of soft green light surrounding your heart center.

And repeat to yourself,

I am filled with unconditioned love for myself and for all of creation.

I am filled with unconditional love for myself and for all of creation.

Next,

Moving up to the area around your throat,

Imagine a ball of soft sky blue light around the base of your throat.

And repeat internally to yourself,

I communicate my authentic truth and my intentions,

Actions,

And words.

I communicate my authentic truth through my intentions,

Actions,

And words.

Moving up into the space near the third eye,

Visualize a soft bluish purple light directly around the third eye area in the center of your eyebrows emanating from the very middle of your brain outward.

And repeat internally to yourself,

I listen to and follow my intuitive guidance.

I am balanced in all aspects of my mind and I am guided by my expanded consciousness.

I listen to and follow my intuitive guidance.

I am balanced in all aspects of my mind and follow this expanded consciousness.

Now witness a ball of light violet or white light on the crown area directly above your head and repeat internally to yourself,

I am connected to divine consciousness.

I am a manifestation of source energy in the physical.

I trust that even though I may not be aware of the specifics of what it is,

I serve a vital purpose in the physical creation and I'm always guided on my life's journey.

Feeling more balanced,

More connected to your entire being,

Let's travel.

Let's travel to a time when Mother Earth is preparing for the deep rest of winter.

Picture a gorgeous autumn landscape and continue to create a space for your mind and body to relax even more deeply.

Relaxing in this manner is not only extremely beneficial for your healing,

But it also makes it easier for you to move into a deeper part of your consciousness,

A space deep within yourself that is always connected to your higher self.

Feel all the functions in your body and mind slowing down even more,

Just like the Earth does as she prepares for winter in this time of autumn.

Feel your breath relax and slow down even more deeply.

All of your remaining thoughts sink into a dormant kind of slumber.

Each individual thought and emotion drop away like autumn colored leaves gently floating to the ground.

Each thought drawn away from the mind like a leaf blown by a gentle breeze.

And for this moment,

Truly let them go.

When you give your mind,

Body and emotional bodies deep moments of rest and peace such as these,

You'll be able to come back to these thoughts with more clarity and a more balanced perspective,

A perspective centered on your whole well-being and the highest well-being of everyone in your life.

Now imagine yourself standing strong,

Serene and bare like an enormous centuries old tree with nothing masking your connection to the truth of you.

Imagine this tree standing as a strong healing force,

Witnessing the passing of time.

As this tree,

Follow your massive thickly barked trunk down into the autumn leaf covered ground.

Follow the pathway of your roots deep into the earth and feel a complete sense of grounding,

Connection with wholeness as you understand your connection to the intricate web that is creation.

Feel and know your sense of purpose and belonging.

Feel creation and Mother Earth's love for you.

Feel the wisdom and the knowledge of the vital role that you play in this delicate web of creation.

And even if you don't understand what your exact purpose is,

Know this awareness from the truth of your heart.

When you were born as a divine spirit to this physical world,

You understood your karmic contract to your soul and you were aware that you chose to play out that role in the life that you are living now as you serve on this earth.

Our society places too much emphasis on eternal success.

Our success should be more closely measured by our sense of authentic self-expression,

Spirit and heart-based living.

Even if your life on the mental,

Emotional,

Physical planes are chaotic,

Unfulfilling and messy,

When you develop the awareness and connection to your higher self,

You understand that this human life is just a small piece in the multidimensionality that is your soul.

So in this moment,

You're life might not seem significant,

But when you understand that it is only a small role that you play in the grand multidimensional being that is your soul,

You may start to gain glimpses of understanding of why you've had to live this life in this manner,

Why you've had these life experiences.

And no one else needs to understand but you.

No one needs to value your life but you.

When you understand through the perspective of your spirit self,

You know that even when this short life ends,

You have a myriad of roles like leaves on this gorgeous mighty tree that is your soul.

Coexisting in this eternal forest of souls,

All knowing,

Feeling and creating this evolutionary miracle that is creation.

Don't rely on the logic of your mind,

Your mind is so puny,

So limited when it comes to the perspective of spirit and art.

Now that you have a glimpse of the awesomeness of your higher self,

Picture yourself in your ideal classroom setting.

Now you may immediately picture a traditional school kind of setting and this is fine if this feels like the ideal environment for your highest learning.

But perhaps you feel more connected to the whole you in an environment like a yoga room or a teepee,

Or around a campfire,

Or in the belly of an ancient pyramid,

In a cave or on a mossy boulder by a forest stream.

But visualize what your ideal learning environment feels like right now and go there.

See yourself in this space in anticipation to receive all of the answers to your innermost questions and desires.

Feel the excitement building as you prepare and open your mind and heart to learn from the most effective teacher that is best suited for the betterment of your whole being.

Once you are settled in your ideal learning environment,

Feeling the anticipation of meeting your greatest teacher,

You feel your mind and heart wide open to receive.

Because once you fully surrendered,

Your teacher enters this space.

This being seems so familiar,

As if you've known them for eternity because you have.

They look a lot like you.

They have similar mannerisms,

But they exude an unstoppable confidence,

Lightness,

Peace and wisdom.

And you immediately know this is you,

You're higher you.

The aspect of your being that always has your back,

That whispers and even shouts the guidance you need.

Sometimes you ignore their guidance,

Or perhaps you're just learning to hear their communication.

Or sometimes you listen.

But now you're understanding that this lifelong companion wants so badly to teach support and guide you.

But most of the time you're so stuck in your head,

You're so stubborn or caught up in your own self doubt that you don't pay attention.

You're realizing now it's not a kind of attention that can be forced intellectually.

It's a loving openness and heart centered trust.

Right now,

Now that you're open,

Vulnerable and trusting,

If you have questions that are currently on your mind,

Ask.

If you're seeking life answers,

Ask.

Ask whatever is on your mind.

Now don't get the impression that the answers are going to come in the same manner every time.

Sometimes the answers will come as clearly as hearing a voice in your mind.

But usually it's a feeling,

A deep knowing that bubbles up inside of you.

Sometimes the answers come in a dream or an idea that hits you at a random time during the day.

Or a friend offers wise advice that resonates his truth.

Maybe you're intuitively drawn to a book or anything for that matter.

But your main job is to stay clear and open enough to receive this guidance and follow through.

The more you act on your intuition,

The easier it will become to hear when it is communicating with you.

So take a few more moments.

Really absorb the presence and loving guidance of your higher self.

Feel the comfort in this communion.

The next step so that you can stay connected to one of the most important guides you will ever meet is to ask how you can continue a personal discipline that will help to keep you in the state of receptivity and learning from your higher self.

What do you need to do in your life to be more clear,

More open?

Fully connect to how you feel when you're in the presence of your higher self and remind yourself that through this discipline you can recreate this feeling at any time you need it.

The next step is to experience living your life with a conscious connection to your higher self.

Feeling the wisdom of this inner guide in this moment,

Visualize yourself going about your day knowing that you're not alone,

That you're being supported,

Guided by an aspect of your being that is directly connected to your soul and the awareness of your life's presence.

Once you see this,

Once you fully feel it,

Offer gratitude for this opportunity to connect and learn.

Offer gratitude for the lifelong support and love you received in spite of your ignorance of their presence.

Offer gratitude for this opportunity to be in the presence of divine unconditional love.

It's now time to bring this journey to a close.

Leaving your learning environment for now.

Again,

Remember it's always here in your consciousness for you to access any time you need it.

Gently come back to the tree.

The tree that represents you standing strong,

Powerful,

Beautiful in this world no matter what happens around you.

Aware of your firm roots,

Your connection and loving support from all of creation,

Your purpose and your greatness.

Now come back fully into the space your physical body's in.

Feeling every part of your being reconnecting in a healthier,

More balanced,

More peaceful manner.

Maintaining total recall of all the gifts of wisdom you received on this journey.

Come back fully now into your physical body,

Into this time and space.

Fully occupying your physical being with your whole self.

And take a few full,

Deep,

Conscious breaths.

Feel the powerful life force in your body and gently begin to awaken.

Slowly moving your body.

Being soft with yourself.

Remember you can repeat this guided visualization anytime you need to reinforce your connection to your loving,

Eternally wise higher self.

Welcome beautiful spirit,

Powerful human.

Welcome to this marvelous new perspective of your awesome self.
