Welcome to this multi-part meditation series,
Reconnect with Yourself,
Plant guided journeys through the sephira of the Kabbalah.
Spider Plan and I,
Tigreya Gardenia,
Are delighted to guide you on this journey.
Each journey will open you to unexpected sensations and capabilities contained within one sephira of the Tree of Life.
Whether you are a long-time Kabbalist or hearing about this for the first time,
With Spider Plan's expert musical direction,
You are sure to travel deep into your being.
Have writing and coloring materials close by to capture what comes to you at the end.
Plants use a variety of languages to communicate,
Including images,
Smells,
And sensations.
Capture everything,
Even if it seems to not be related.
The messages will become clear over time.
Kabbalah provides a way of perceiving how the universe works and what affects your ability to make free will decisions.
Each sephira offers a window into your own psychological and archetypal makeup across lifetimes.
And with the assistance of plants,
You can see through the illusion of conditioning,
Limiting beliefs,
And fear.
Although you may not recognize all the plants in this meditation,
Trust that Spider Plan's music is bringing up their essence.
During this practice,
We will connect with Bina,
The Grand Mother of Understanding.
As the third emanation on the tree,
Bina is the first receptive impulse and the balance counterpoint to Chokmah.
Wisdom.
Let's begin our journey.
I invite you to sit comfortably and shift your focus to the music.
This music is being composed by Spider Plan specifically to journey into Bina.
Close your eyes.
Start taking some nice,
Deep breaths.
In through your nose.
And out through your mouth.
Nice and slow.
Notice your body in this moment.
Where has energy accumulated to create some type of distress or dis-ease?
Lean into these areas.
Slowly contracting and stretching with each breath.
Slowly contracting and stretching with small movements.
From your third eye,
Draw from the world of spirit and send energy to that part of you to soothe and relax.
Take a few moments.
Using the rhythm of your breath,
Scan and relax your physical and subtle body using this spirit light.
In the air,
There is a faint scent of lilac and wisteria.
Below you,
Leafy green comfrey tickles your ankles.
Their presence adds to the soothing and brings a feeling of universal acceptance.
As you step forward,
You come across a small building covered in ivy.
Placing your hands on the leaves instantly opens your power to perceive.
To get to the essence of an idea and to follow the correlations.
Facts evolve into significance,
Inserting deep understanding into what was intellectual knowledge.
Melt into this now.
Feelings of grief and loss wash over you,
Clearing away layers crusted in deep recesses.
The ivy offers life force,
Receptivity,
Black holes left from this cleansing are rich,
Fertile ground you can build upon from the faith in your abilities to embody wisdom through being.
The mind is open with a deep sense of being.
Through being,
The mind is open with a deep silence.
When you are silent,
You listen.
When you listen with curiosity and kindness,
You learn.
Sit in this dark silence.
In your hand appears a creamy magnolia flower.
The soft petals have persevered to bloom,
A gift of strength from Bina to match your own.
You stand,
Placing the bloom in a safe place you can access anytime.
And begin your return.
The ivy tickles your face one last time.
Below,
The comfrey guides the path.
With each step,
Your experiences travel farther into your being.
With each breath,
The wisteria and lilac scent travel through you to form new connections.
You continue to return into your body,
Actively containing perceptions and understanding.
You are back in your body,
Yet changed.
Bina ensures that what you have experienced is lasting.
When you feel ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Take your writing materials,
And capture everything that has come to you during this practice.
Doodles,
Movement,
Smells,
Fragments of thoughts.
These can all be ways the plants help bring into the physical world what you've perceived.
Let it flow from you directly with no filter.
In time,
With the help of plant friends,
The meanings will start to take shape.
Thank you for your presence.
Spiderplant and I,
Tigreya Gardenia,
Look forward to meeting again soon for another journey to reconnect with yourself.
