I want you all just to allow yourself
to relax a little.. let yourself settle ... open up and smile :-))
I want you to see the wall starting up around us..
a massive wall of energy... sparkling... maybe hear it singing..
and probably see lots of pure colours too...
The wall revolves slowly around us and as we start
to open up.. it starts to go a little faster... slowly and ponderously..
picking up the energy as new energies join us .. add and complement
it...
I want you to imagine that you have
no aches or pains and are sitting in the sand on the floor... beside
you are several bags of sand.. different colours and textures... leave
them for now.. but as you sit you start to spin your own vortex of
energy within the circle... feed its energy... get it really going...
you need to build lot of energy around you.... and as you do this,
the big wall around us.. starts to go even faster... feeding your
wall... your vortex... and in your mind you close your eyes.
We are at the edge of beautiful woods... you look
out towards the base of a mountain...
Behind you .. you hear the trees rustling... birds
cheeping... something is coming through the undergrowth... a sense
of peace and calm .. its your animal... your animal guide... don’t
worry if you cant see it clearly... you know or sense what it is
for this journey.
As it joins you.. we all start to
walk to the lower part of the mountain... we start to climb slowly..
following the path that is worn there... none of your real time aches
bother you... you feel fit ... energised... on your back you feel
the pack you carry...
We climb around rocks and boulders and the incline
gets a little steeper... the sun is shining.. its not long past
noon... its warmth is fabulous... just the way we like it.. we can
feel it warming our shoulders and our head... there’s much
laughter in the group... its like its the end of a journey...
The incline gets steeper again... a little more
difficult to climb... and as we climb the pack feels a little heavier...
the sun is down a bit now... not quite so warm... late afternoon
we decide.. we have been climbing for a while... our rest breaks
get more frequent because it is getting harder to climb... the air
thinner... purer.
Notice the alpine flowers... their colours... the
plants and flowers & grasses clinging to the cracks... up ahead
is a large ledge... as we make our way up there, we pick up moss,
tinder and there are branches from the few trees that have been
blown onto the path... finally we reach the ledge and gratefully
take off our packs.
We set the fire as the sun starts to set... take
time to look at the sunset... the colours and shades... soon there
is a wonderful fire.. the sparks of flame crackle and shoot into
the evening sky... someone has found white stones to put round the
fire... and soon our food is cooking... our animal guides sit quietly
with us as we look deep into the flames... calm and serene.... we
look up and see that the stars are becoming visible... the moon
starts to show... note the phase.
We become aware that someone is joining the camp...
we welcome them and as they join us.. come into the light... they
smile... a beautiful smile.. he holds a staff with a crystal at
the top... and gestures that we should come with him...
So we quickly pack.. . someone puts out the fire...
and as we adjust our packs... and our eyes start to be able to see
in the moonlight... we see that there is a crack in what we thought
was a plain wall... its shown clearly in the moonlight... we approach
it.. we can see how wide it is... easily tall enough for us to enter...
our guides staff starts to glow with enough light for us to see
quite clearly... with our animals beside us .. we enter
The journey doesn’t take long...
and soon we stand at the other side... the moonlight shows us we are
at the top of a volcano... there is a massive lake... it shines in
the moonlight and we notice the cooking fires and torches below in
a village by the lake.
He guides us down.. and as we approach the camp...
children run to welcome us... our animals let us know that they
will join us if we need them... or when its time to go back.
As we enter the camp lots of people in native dress
welcome us in.. we don’t understand their words but we can
read their gestures and meanings... we are taken to the centre of
the village... surrounded by giggling children, holding our hands...
and in front of us .. the chieftain... a powerful leader loved by
his people.. we can see that in their looks and eyes
He welcomes us and holds his hand
out to introduce us to the shaman... the shaman limps towards us...
shuffling... holding his staff... bent... there’s a hush as
he comes to us... his eyes... wow... so clear... startlingly clear...
he’s such an old soul... wise... compassionate... he welcomes
us all and with a cheer the tribe take us all to our different huts...
we drop our packs and are led to the campfire by the children... they
bring such wonderful food... and water that is soooo pure!!! It’s
like coming home...
After we have been fed.. we all understand that
its time we got some rest... its been a long climb... we are shown
back to our huts and we settle for the night...
Its morning.. . the light streams into the huts
and we hear the sounds of the village... a tall child approaches
us as we sit at the eating place for the village... in broken English...
explains ... we will spend some time here... we can learn whatever
we want... an instrument... a lesson... we can help prepare food
for the meals... we can fish or sit and watch the eagles flying...
there is no dress code... we can wear the little clothes that they
wear or whatever we are comfortable with... its summertime
Each day we will all spend time with the shaman...
to receive healing... guidance... training if we want it... and
each night their will be a feast around the fire.... so for the
next couple of days... this is your time...explore.. enjoy... you
don’t have to listen to the bits I will put in to help, in
case you are having a problem seeing this place... you will probably
see different things to me... because I am looking at different
things.... but notice everything... what are the houses made of...
see the children playing... swimming... laughing... singing.. and
dancing.
I don’t understand the words.. but as I sit
with a group of older children being taught about the plants and
medicinal herbs.. I get a sense of what they are being told... such
a good teacher
I will describe my days... well join me if you want...
this is your place...
I am off now for my dinner.. and as I walk towards
the communal area... I pick up leaves and some branches for the
fire tonight... villagers come and go... eat and smile a welcome...
others just sit and share their time with me...
I join the shaman... he smiles his lopsided smile...
and indicates that he would like to give me some healing... as I
sit in front of him in the sunshine... with the sounds of childrens
laughter... music... and birdsong... letting this massive energy
flow into my body... wow
Every part of me seems to be buzzing... full of
energy... I can even feel the film of sweat on my forehead... when
it is over... he smiles and leaves... all I can do for a wee while
is lie n look at the magnificent sky... blue... white clouds gently
scudding across the huge open space... a gentle breeze on my skin.
There’s no set rules here..
we all have things we want to look at.. that’s good...
As I sit at the fire in the dusk... I spot you all
coming in... faces ruddy and glowing with a calm inner joy... reflected
firelight on your cheeks... the villagers all are always smiling
and friendly.... the children settle after their meal as the village
elders tell a story of the before time.... babies in their mothers
arms ... children leaning against any available knee... its just
nice sitting as the storytellers voice lulls us... and we settle
back... the stars above soo many and soo clear... whirls of little
lights... the crackling of the fire... and even the gentle snores
as people fall asleep... safe and contented
The dawn and sunlight... and cheeky children awaken
us... some villagers laugh and point at our sleepy faces and bring
food... after... we go for a walk with the younger adults... they
take us to the side of the lake... the places that are sacred are
pointed out... the sunshine warming us as we remove uncomfortable
clothing.... they show us how to paint our skin with wild flowers
and clays .. making wonderful patterns... and designs
Some younger children catch us up with baskets of
food and drink... and we spend the afternoon making musical instruments...
drums ...
We make our way back... its approaching dusk...
the fire is already made.. they are waiting for us... there’s
something in the air... an energy... a buzzing... an excitement...
then the shaman comes into the centre... as you
watch... the clouds above move away from the moon and a shaft of
moonlight shines on to him... he seems to straighten.... all the
signs of his great age leaving him... he calls us out to him...
as we reach him.. he touches each of us on the forehead... we feel
a tingling where he touched us... it spreads in to our heads...
our neck... and down our spine.
The tingling in our spine intensifies... as we look
at our neighbours.. each other... we see magnificent wings start
to unfurl... as ours fully extend... his also unfurl.. golden tinged...
and we sense our guides .. our guardian angels joining us too...
they hold our hands... our wings start to move... to slowly and
powerfully move us into the air... a little at a time... until we
are as high as we are comfortable with.... the villagers all join
us.. young and old... revelling in their own flight... and slowly
we return to the camp fire below... we feel the draft as our wings
and those around us... move slowly
We will bring them back with us .. we will know
they are there and we will also see each others wings... our animals
have come to sit .. we see their tongues lolling like they are laughing
with us... experiencing the light glorious feeling we are... the
shaman and chieftain join us again... and give us all a hug... as
the shaman leans in ... he whispers in perfect English something
that will be important to you... a lesson... guidance... and hands
each of us a gift
The chief waves and a group of villagers rush over
and give us all a hug... they smile and laugh with us... and tell
us to hurry back... we are welcome anytime... they have much to
teach us... we are given native clothing.. warm in the cooling air....
our packs are brought to us... and as we dress in this wonderful
clothing.. shoulder our packs... the guide that brought us arrives...
that smile!!
We wave to all the people... they are singing as
we leave.. the children running with us... around us... laughing
and smiling... soon we are at the entrance to the tunnel... we turn...
see the village in the moonlight... the light reflecting in the
lake... we know the way here now... we can come back anytime...
especially those nights that we find it hard to sleep.
A wave and we follow the guide back to the fire
at the end of the tunnel... he’s left it lit for us... as
we stand around the fire.. we still feel our wings... with a smile
and a wave.. he’s gone... our animals at our side.. we decide
to just head back home... the fire is put out.. and we set off down
the path.. look at the moon... its different... we have been gone
longer than we thought... the journey down goes much faster than
the one up... and really soon.. we stand at the base...
Holding hands we make our way to the edge of the
woods.... we hug each other... we hug our animals and say goodbye
as they enter the forest... and as we open our eyes.. we are back
in our vortex... there on the floor is a sand picture... made by
us from the diff sands in the bags we left there... look at it..
and try and remember it when u return to the normal waking state...
gradually our vortex fades into the room wall... pull from it as
much energy as you need... feel it filling you up... soon we all
are full... and the wall is fading... send the energy that’s
there to loved ones.... to those we know are unwell... and to the
site... and when you are done... take a long slow breath and return
namaste..
light n love
We hope you Enjoyed this Relaxing Meditation Journey
