Transcript

Find a comfortable position where you can sit or lie down without distraction or disruption.

Close your eyes or soften your gaze downward.

Wiggle your hips and feel deeply into your sitz bones.

You are rooted and supported by Mother Earth.

Take three deep breaths with me,

Inhaling slowly and releasing completely.

Again,

Breathing in peace and possibility and letting go of whatever you no longer need.

One more time,

Drawing in Divine Presence and exhaling into this sacred moment.

Now,

Bring your attention to your body right now.

Notice how it feels to be here,

To be present,

To be exactly where you are.

Sometimes we lose our way.

Sometimes that feeling of divine connection seems distant or absent entirely.

What if the path back to faith isn't about finding something new,

Rather about remembering what was always there?

What if your guides have been waiting patiently for you to discover them?

Today,

You're going to meet your personal animal guide and the sacred animal guides of the Populistic Tree of Life,

And through them,

Find your way back to spiritual connection.

Imagine yourself standing in a beautiful,

Natural sanctuary.

This could be a forest clearing,

A garden,

Or any outdoor space that feels sacred to you.

In front of you,

You see a series of doors arranged in a gentle curve.

Each door is different,

Some made of wood,

Others of stone,

Some shimmering with light,

And some of the light These are the doorways to meet your spiritual guides.

You feel completely safe here.

You are exactly where you belong.

Let's begin with the first door,

A door that calls to your heart.

Walk toward it and gently open it.

Through this doorway comes your personal animal guide,

The one meant to work with you in this moment of your spiritual journey.

Allow whoever wants to come through without expectation.

Welcome them with love and curiosity.

This guide has been waiting for you.

Notice how it moves,

How it looks at you,

What energy it brings.

Silently ask this guide,

What gift are you bringing me today?

Listen with your heart for the answer.

Thank this guide and ask it to accompany you on the rest of this journey.

Now approach the next door,

One that feels grounded and solid.

This leads to Melkut,

The foundation of physical existence.

Open this door and welcome Buffalo,

The guide of here and now presence.

Buffalo reminds you that spiritual connection begins with honoring where you are right now,

In this moment,

In this body.

Feel Buffalo's steady,

Powerful energy helping you root into the present moment.

You are here.

You belong here.

This is where your spiritual journey begins.

Move to the next door,

Where Eagle soars through,

The guide of emotional balance.

Eagle teaches you that faith requires both the courage to reach for your highest vision and the wisdom to accept what is.

Feel Eagle's perspective lifting you above old patterns of spiritual disconnection.

From this height,

You can see your path more clearly.

Find the door that radiates warmth and golden light.

This is where Lion emerges,

The guide of divine love and boundaries.

Lion shows you that the path back to faith requires loving all parts of yourself,

While also maintaining healthy boundaries.

You can love deeply without losing yourself.

Feel Lion's courageous heart opening your own heart to receive and give love in all forms.

This is how we learn to love ourselves and the world better.

Now approach a door that seems to shimmer with wisdom and starlight.

Through this door steps human,

Representing your highest self.

Human guide reminds you that you have everything within you needed for spiritual connection.

Your capacity for wisdom,

Understanding,

And knowledge are divine gifts already present within you.

Finally,

Approach the last door,

The one that seems both ancient and eternal.

It is timeless.

Through this door come two guides together,

Panther and Bear,

Representing the giver and receiver aspects of ultimate divine compassion.

Feel their presence surrounding you with the truth that you are both loved unconditionally and capable of loving unconditionally.

This is the crown of spiritual reconnection.

Now all your guides gather around you in this sacred sanctuary.

Your personal guide,

Buffalo,

Eagle,

Lion,

Human,

Panther,

And Bear.

They form a circle of protection and wisdom around you.

Each one is offering you a gift for your spiritual journey forward.

What is your next best step on your path back to faith?

Listen as the answer arises from this council of wisdom.

Take a moment to thank each guide.

Know that you can return to this sanctuary and these doors whenever you need spiritual guidance.

Now,

Gently bring your awareness back to your physical body.

Wiggle your fingers and toes.

Take a deep breath.

When you're ready,

Open your eyes and return to your day carrying the wisdom and support of your spiritual guides with you.

The path back to faith is made up of small steps,

And you've just taken one.
