The River of Truth and Transformation.
Begin by finding a comfortable position.
Feel your feet on the ground,
Your body sitting.
Notice yourself and make any adjustments to be sure you are comfortable and at ease.
Close your eyes and take several deep breaths.
With each breath,
Feel yourself sinking deeper into your body and deeper into the Earth's embrace,
Grounding and connecting with her steady,
Nurturing energy.
In your mind's eye,
Picture yourself in a sacred forest.
The air is fresh and the sounds of nature surround you,
Birds singing,
Leaves rustling,
The distant murmur of flowing water.
You feel safe here,
Protected by the energy of the forest.
As you walk through the trees,
You notice a path leading toward the sound of water.
Follow this path,
Feeling the Earth beneath your feet until you come to a wide flowing river.
The water sparkles with a light that feels alive,
Vibrant and full of wisdom.
This is the River of Truth,
A sacred place for release and transformation.
Take a moment to call upon your spirit guide or power animal to join you on this journey.
You might see them approach from the forest,
Emerge from the river,
Or appear in your mind's eye.
They are here to support and guide you,
Trust whatever form they take.
Your guide gestures for you to look into the water.
As you peer into the river,
You see your reflection,
But it is wearing a mask.
This mask represents all the illusions you have carried,
The roles,
Expectations and false identities that no longer serve you.
Your guide reminds you that these were never your true essence,
Only tools you used to navigate the world.
It is time to let them go.
With the guidance of your ally,
Reach up and gently lift the mask from your face.
Feel its weight as you hold it in your hands.
Your guide may offer you words of wisdom or encouragement as you prepare to release it.
Step into the cool,
Clear water of the river.
Feel its purifying energy surround you,
Flowing around your feet and up your body.
The current invites you to release the mask into its embrace.
Let it go.
Watch as the river carries it away,
Dissolving it into light,
Transforming it into pure energy that returns to the earth.
As the mask fades,
Turn your gaze to your reflection in the river.
Now you see yourself clearly,
Your authentic,
Unguarded self.
The water mirrors your truth,
Radiating your inner strength and beauty.
Breathe deeply,
Letting this vision of yourself fill every cell of your being.
Your guide may offer you a gift or a symbol of your true self,
Something to remind you of your authenticity and freedom.
Accept this gift with gratitude,
Knowing it will guide you on your path.
When you feel ready,
Step out of the river,
Feeling cleansed and renewed.
Thank your guide and the river for their wisdom and support.
As you walk back along the forest path,
Carry this sense of truth and freedom with you.
Walk your way back to this space,
Transitioning to the here and now.
As you do that,
Take a deep breath in and out.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Gently bringing your awareness back to the present moment.
Open your eyes when you are ready,
Carrying the energy of this journey with you.
