Prepare for your journey by finding the perfect location and perfect position.
Feel free to pause as you get settled.
A dimly lit quiet room is ideal and we will help you by getting you completely relaxed so you can truly enjoy the journey.
Once you're settled we will begin.
There is a beautiful beam of light coming from above.
Invite it to enter your body and let it flow.
As it flows it will help you to release any tension and discomfort.
Imagine it washing over your face,
Over your forehead,
Eyelids,
Cheeks,
Nose,
Lips,
Your face completely relaxes now.
It flows through your jaws and unlocks them helping you relax even deeper now.
This light is flowing through your neck and shoulders.
Neck and shoulders become relaxed.
Flowing through the arms,
Washing over the elbows,
It's reaching the wrists now.
And now even every finger gets filled with this light.
All relaxed now.
And now this light is flowing through the back,
Washing over each disc of the spine,
Releasing any tension.
This light is flowing through the chest and the stomach,
Washing away any heaviness,
All the stagnation,
Any discomfort.
This light is flowing through the hips now,
Washing over your knees,
Calves,
Ankles,
And each toe is now filled with this light.
And you feel them relax completely.
You are now standing on top of a staircase.
Create this beautiful staircase in your imagination and make it just the way you like.
Make it strong and beautiful.
Is it intricately carved wood?
Is it beautiful marble?
Is it encrusted with gems?
Or something more plush and luxurious?
Now you are standing on top of this beautiful staircase.
There are ten steps down and you know that by the time you reach the bottom of that staircase,
You will reach the level of relaxation that is perfect for you in this moment.
It will be the deepest level of relaxation that you have ever experienced.
I will start counting now from 10 down to 1.
As I count,
Imagine,
Visualize taking each step down.
And as you do,
Just allow your body to relax a little bit deeper.
10.
Taking one step down the staircase,
Allowing your body to relax.
9.
Another step down.
Feel your joints unlock and muscles soften.
8.
One more step down,
Relaxing even more now.
7.
Drifting even deeper now.
Notice how your breathing becomes slower,
Deeper,
Softer.
6.
Drifting even deeper now.
With each and every step you take,
With each breath,
You drift in deeper and deeper.
And even deeper now.
5.
Beginning to forget all your to-do lists,
Your obligations.
Letting it all go just for now.
4.
Drifting even deeper now.
3.
Start to notice that sense of contentment and comfort that is spreading through your body.
2.
Sinking,
Floating down deeper and deeper.
1.
Letting it go completely now.
You find yourself in a forest.
A beautiful,
Ancient forest that is untouched by humans.
You take a deep breath and enjoy the fresh air.
As you keep walking deeper and deeper into the forest,
You can see that it starts to become darker.
The trees are so tall and thick,
They block out the rest of the world,
Helping you to forget about all your troubles.
Even if you wanted to look back now,
You wouldn't notice any of it.
It's all blocked out.
But you want to look ahead.
You know now that you can focus completely on your journey,
And make the most of it.
You feel an urge to walk in a certain direction.
You don't understand why,
But you know that you must follow the urge.
As you walk deeper and deeper into the forest,
You feel connected.
You belong here.
You begin to hear sounds of water.
You know that you are approaching a river.
The area becomes covered with a thick fog.
You hear a voice now.
It's soft and gentle.
It's a female voice calling your name.
You can tell that she is happy that you are there.
She excitedly tells you,
Hurry,
And to get in the boat.
As you make your way through the fog,
You see a goddess.
She is smiling and welcoming you into the boat.
You sense that you can trust her completely.
Make yourself comfortable in the boat.
She orders you to just hold on.
There are other ladies in the boat with you,
And they are just as excited as you are,
Although none of you are quite sure yet what is about to happen.
Behold,
As these subtle hints of change begin to unveil their secrets before your eyes,
Nature's hand gracefully orchestrates the shifting of seasons,
Painting a new portrait upon the canvas of existence.
The once vibrant emerald blades of grass relinquish their verdant hue,
Hinting at the arrival of autumn's gentle touch.
Majestic trees cloak themselves in a vibrant tapestry of crimson and gold,
As if preparing for a grand masquerade.
A chilling breeze caresses your skin,
Bearing tidings of winter's imminent arrival.
The skies above bear witness to an assembly of clouds,
Casting their shadows upon the land below.
As you drift along the tranquil river,
Your journey takes you deeper into the heart of this metamorphosis.
A gradual dimming of light embraces the surroundings.
Sunrays,
Once dancing through the celestial tapestry,
Now elude your path.
You have a strong sense that you are near your destination.
The river slowly takes you through a gateway,
Guarded by mighty mountains.
It guides you with an unspoken invitation into the realm beyond.
It is within this sacred passage,
Through a cave,
That the temperature plummets to unfathomable depths.
Although you are cold,
You fear not.
This cold air serves a profound purpose,
Though perhaps it is unknown yet to you.
With each soul embarking on this pilgrimage,
The river bestows upon them a designated point of arrival.
The bell begins to make stops,
And at each stop a single passenger continues on her journey.
Each stop is their own sacred secret.
You smile at each one and wish them luck on their journey.
The goddess turns her gaze to you,
And you know that your turn is near.
A few moments later,
You begin hearing whispers of your own name.
An unseen being is embracing you for your stop on the journey.
The cold air completely covers your entire body.
However you understand and embrace it,
For you know that it is part of your journey.
As you step off the boat onto the snowy shore,
The silence embraces you.
As you take in your surroundings,
You realize that you are not alone.
There are beings,
Shimmering with a gentle radiance,
Standing before you.
Their presence has a warmth that contrasts with the biting cold.
The chill in your bones intensifies,
But the goddess reassures you with a serene nod.
You understand that this moment,
This cold,
Is part of your initiation.
It is a price to be paid for a deeper understanding of the present moment,
And the release of all resentment that has weighed you down.
With determination,
You close your eyes and take a deep breath.
You begin to reflect on all the hardships,
All the disappointments,
All the anger and bitterness that you have accumulated over the years.
As you do,
You feel a weight lifting from your shoulders,
And you realize that holding on to these negative emotions has been like carrying a burden of ice within you.
As you let go,
A remarkable transformation begins.
The ice within you starts to crack and shatter,
Like tiny crystals breaking free.
Each shard that falls to the ground represents a piece of your past grievances,
Releasing you from their grip.
The bitterness,
Anger,
Resentment,
They all dissipate into the cold wintry air,
Leaving you feeling lighter and more free than you have in years.
The beings around you smile their approval.
The goddess nods again,
Acknowledging your presence.
You understand that this is your first initiation,
And you are now learning to fully accept the present moment,
The path you now stand upon,
And the wisdom of letting go.
With newfound clarity and purpose,
You continue along the snow-covered path,
Ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.
As you continue your journey along the snow-covered path,
You come to a realization that the second initiation lies ahead.
This is a deeper layer of release,
Waiting to be uncovered.
It is time to let go of all the resentments,
Anger,
And pain that you have carried towards the people you've encountered throughout your life.
You find a serene spot along the path.
The goddess stands beside you.
Her presence is a comforting reminder that you are not alone in this process.
With a deep breath,
You begin to summon the faces and memories of those who have caused you pain.
Some may still be a part of your life,
While others may have long departed from it.
The bitterness,
Hatred,
Anger,
Sadness that have clung to you for so long now demand release.
As you acknowledge these emotions,
And confront the pain they have caused you,
A second layer within you begins to shatter.
It's like ice crackling.
It falls to the ground.
Each fragment represents a part of your past that no longer has a hold on you.
The weight of your grievances become lighter with every shard that breaks away.
You start to feel a profound sense of liberation as the cold grip of resentment begins to loosen its hold on your heart.
The goddess smiles.
Her approval is radiating warmth into the frigid air.
She gestures for you to continue,
Assuring you that this process is a crucial step toward finding inner peace and fulfillment.
With newfound determination,
You walk forward,
Leaving behind the remnants of your past resentments,
Like a trail of melting ice.
As you proceed along the path,
You know that this journey of self-discovery and healing is far from over.
But you are now more prepared to face whatever challenges lie ahead with a heart unburdened by the weight of past grievances.
As you continue along the path,
The realization dawns upon you that the third initiation awaits.
This is the most profound and challenging of them all.
It is time to fully accept and forgive yourself,
To release the heavy burden of self-doubt,
Regrets,
And secrets that have weighed you down so long.
You find a quiet clearing,
A place where the shadows of the past seem to gather,
Waiting to be confronted.
You turn your head and see the Goddess standing beside you.
Her presence is a source of strength as you prepare to go into the depths of your own soul.
Taking a deep breath,
You summon all your mistakes,
All your regrets,
And your own self-perceived shortcomings.
You acknowledge that each choice,
Even the ones you thought were wrong,
Were merely learning experiences.
They were stepping-stones on your path to self-discovery.
You recognize that at every given moment,
You did the best you could with the knowledge and resources that you had at the time.
You confront the secrets that you've hidden deep within,
The darkness that you've been reluctant to acknowledge even to yourself.
With trembling courage,
You accept these aspects of yourself,
The parts that you've considered ugly or unworthy.
And then in a moment of profound revelation,
You realize that it's time to forgive yourself for everything.
As you do,
A third layer within you begins to shatter,
Just like ice breaking apart.
The sound of ice dripping on the floor echoes through the clearing,
Resonating with the weight of your release.
Tears may fall,
But they are tears of cleansing and renewal.
The goddess smiles with compassion and approval,
For she knows that this act of self-forgiveness is the most powerful step you can take toward inner peace and self-acceptance.
With each fragment of ice that falls away,
You feel a sense of lightness and liberation that you have never known before.
You understand that you are whole and complete just as you are,
With all your flaws and imperfections.
With this newfound self-acceptance,
You continue your journey along the snow-covered path.
You are ready to face the future with a heart unburdened by self-doubt and regret.
As you progress along the path,
Having completed the previous initiations,
You now approach the fourth initiation,
A journey towards unconditional self-love.
It feels like a natural progression after fully accepting yourself,
And you recognize that this is the culmination of your inner transformation.
You pause for a moment and reflect on the concept of unconditional love for yourself.
You realize that it's no longer difficult to love yourself without any conditions or expectations.
You are now able to embrace every aspect of who you are,
Including your secrets,
Weaknesses,
And the scenes of your life without judgment or reservation.
With a sense of profound peace and self-compassion,
You extend love to yourself just the way you are.
You understand that self-love is not about perfection,
But about embracing your imperfections and acknowledging your worthiness.
As this realization settles within you,
The final layer,
The layer of bitterness,
Although it wasn't as thick as the others,
It was there.
It starts to shatter and fall on the ground.
It breaks into tiny iridescent pieces,
Each one representing the remnants of any lingering negativity or self-doubt.
The sound of these shattering ice is like a sweet symphony of liberation,
A celebration of your journey towards self-love.
The goddess smiles,
Radiating her approval and encouragement,
For she knows that you have reached a profound milestone in your quest for inner transformation.
You stand there,
Surrounded by the shards of ice,
Bathed in the warmth of self-love,
Feeling lighter and more whole than ever before.
With each step forward,
You carry this newfound love within you,
Knowing that it will guide you on your path,
No matter where it leads.
As you continue your profound journey,
You sense that the fifth initiation awaits.
A powerful step towards total acceptance and unconditional love for all human beings.
You find yourself in a serene meadow,
Surrounded by the beauty of nature,
A perfect setting for this transformative experience.
In this moment,
You open your heart to embrace the idea that every person,
Whether they are close to you,
Total strangers,
Or even living on the other side of earth,
They are all part of the same interconnected human family.
You understand that,
At the core,
We are all one,
Sharing the same hopes,
Dreams,
And vulnerabilities.
Along with this realization,
You begin to cultivate a deep sense of acceptance and unconditional love for all.
You know that you can laugh unconditionally,
Share love without reservation,
And still protect your boundaries and do what's best for yourself.
In this meadow,
Surrounded by the beauty of nature,
You close your eyes and envision a web of interconnectedness that binds all human beings together.
You feel a profound sense of empathy and compassion for every soul on the planet,
Recognizing that their journey is just as complex and challenging as your own.
As you do,
The boundaries that once separated you from others begin to blur.
The barriers of judgment and prejudice dissolve,
Replaced by a sense of oneness and understanding.
You are now able to love everyone unconditionally,
While still maintaining your own personal boundaries and making choices that are in your best interest.
The Goddess stands by your side,
Her presence a reminder that you are on the right path,
And her smile is an approval of affirmation.
With this newfound perspective,
You continue your journey,
Ready to share the love and acceptance you have cultivated with the world,
Knowing that your actions can make a positive difference in the lives of others.
As you progress further along your transformative journey,
You approach the sixth initiation.
This is a profound step towards total and unconditional love for the entire world and everything within it.
You stand in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds you,
The majestic trees,
The delicate leaves,
The fluttering butterflies,
And even the tiny bugs that make up the intricate tapestry of life.
You open your heart even wider,
Extending your love to embrace every being,
Every creature,
And every element of the world around you.
You understand that love knows no boundaries.
It can encompass all living things,
From the grandest mountain to the tiniest insect.
As you immerse yourself in this deep love,
You also recognize that it is time to confront the last layers of fear that may have clung to you.
Fear of the unknown,
Fear of the world's challenges,
And fear of the future.
All of it is ready to be released.
With courage and determination,
You visualize these fears as another layer of ice within you.
A layer that has kept you from fully experiencing the world's beauty and wonder.
As you confront these fears head-on,
The ice begins to shatter and the pieces fall to the ground.
The sound of ice breaking is like a symphony of liberation,
And the goddess watches you with approval and love,
Knowing that you are embracing the world and all its mysteries with open arms and a fearless heart.
With each shard of fear that falls away,
You feel lighter and more connected to the world around you.
The boundaries between yourself and the world begin to blur,
And you experience a profound sense of unity with all of existence.
You are now ready to navigate the world with love and fearlessness,
Embracing every moment and every being as a gift.
As you approach the seventh initiation,
You feel a sense of completeness and empowerment wash over you.
That comes full truth in all its power.
This initiation represents the culmination of your journey.
A profound understanding that with the release of all resentment,
Bitterness,
And acceptance,
You have the power to shine your light on everything you encounter in life.
You stand in the radiant presence of the goddess,
Fully aware of the wisdom she imparts.
It is a truth that resonates deeply within you.
You have the capacity to illuminate every aspect of your existence,
No matter how daunting,
Painful,
Or challenging it may seem.
With unwavering determination,
You resolve to never turn away from life's lessons,
No matter how uncomfortable or scary they may be.
You understand that in each and every moment,
You are exactly where you are meant to be,
And you embrace this truth wholeheartedly.
You vow to no longer suppress your needs or hide from life's challenges.
You will not attempt to escape or evade reality.
Instead,
You commit to living through every moment,
Facing every issue,
Every problem,
Or challenge with courage and resilience.
With your unwavering focus,
Attention,
Care,
And effort,
You will shine your light on all that comes your way.
You will work diligently to improve,
Transform,
Or release each circumstance,
Molding it into what aligns with your highest self.
If necessary,
You will cut ties or let go of what no longer serves your growth,
Always with the knowledge that this is a vital part of your journey toward enlightenment.
The Goddess smiles with approval and encouragement.
You now embark on this final phase of your initiation with a heart filled with determination and a soul aglow with light of truth.
You are ready to shine your light into every corner of existence,
Knowing that this is one of your most important duties to better yourself,
And in doing so,
To contribute to the betterment of the world.
As you stand in the radiant presence of the Goddess,
The focus of your transformation turns inward,
And you begin to feel warmth radiating from the light within you.
You allow your awareness to drop deeper and deeper,
Bringing it into your core.
The sensation is gentle,
A subtle tingling,
And a slight pressure,
But there is no pain or discomfort.
It is a comforting warmth and tingling that is throughout your body.
Within the sacred space of your inner self,
You start to visualize a small red poppy flower sitting before you.
With your focus and radiance of your light,
The red poppy begins to transform,
Growing and evolving before your eyes.
It gradually takes on a vibrant bloom.
Its petals unfurl to reveal a magnificent radiant flower.
As you gaze upon this magnificent red poppy bloom,
You become aware that it represents not just beauty,
But also your inner wisdom,
An ancient knowledge acquired through countless lifetimes.
It symbolizes the latent skills,
Talents,
And abilities you didn't even realize that you possessed.
You understand now that you are forever changed,
That you have no excuses for not pursuing what is important to you,
For not reaching your goals.
You have everything you need within you.
By letting go of old heartaches,
Resentments,
Bitterness,
Anger,
Hatred,
You have freed yourself from the blockages,
Boundaries,
And limits that once held you back.
With a heart full of forgiveness and acceptance for yourself,
You have transcended the past and become the embodiment of your true potential.
The goddess's presence affirms your transformation,
And you stand there,
Illuminated from within,
Ready to embrace the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.
You are whole,
You are free,
And you are a beacon of light and wisdom in the world.
As you bask in the glow of your unlocked potential,
You become acutely aware of your body,
Resonating with newfound energy and purpose.
You feel a gentle hum,
A tingling sensation that courses through your being,
Emanating warmth and light.
Looking around you,
You witness how your radiance begins to shine brilliantly,
Illuminating everything in your vicinity.
The warmth you exude starts to melt away the remnants of the ice you shattered from within yourself.
Any lingering shadows or doubts that may have remained are also now swept away,
Leaving you completely free.
In this moment,
You remember the price you paid for your bravery in facing your fears and relinquishing what was no longer needed.
It's a realization that brings a sense of closure and fulfillment.
As you turn your attention to the source of this blessing,
You recognize the god of the underworld,
Hades,
Who has left a pot full of gold for you.
You reach down and grasp the pot,
Understanding that it is yours to treasure and invest wisely.
You know the wealth contained within this vessel will manifest and materialize in your wallet,
Your bank account,
And the prosperity that you've built for yourself and your loved ones.
With this newfound abundance,
You realize that you have earned it through your journey of self-discovery and transformation.
It is your right and you are prepared to make the most of it.
Now it is time to return.
You step back into the boat and it carries you effortlessly along the river of life,
Rolling you back towards the surface.
The goddess and the ethereal beings praise you for traversing the reverse cycle,
For journeying from the depths of the underworld back to the surface.
As you emerge from the depths,
You are greeted by the brilliant rays of the Sun.
Its warm embrace welcomes you back.
The entire tapestry of nature itself seems to celebrate your transformation,
As it welcomes the new being you have become with open arms.
You stand there and realize that you're holding a fruit.
It's a pomegranate,
Surely a gift from the goddess.
You smile and you think about the power of what you just experienced.
The self-discovery,
The self-acceptance,
And the boundless potential that now resides within you.
It is now time to return.
I will count from one to five to help you transition.
One.
You feel a sense of calm as all your processes normalize.
Your breathing is steady,
Your heartbeat is tranquil,
And your blood pressure and temperature are perfectly balanced.
Two.
The weight of gold you received as a gift serves as a tangible reminder of your newfound wealth and abundance,
Both within and without.
Three.
You understand there is no turning back to the old ways.
The path ahead is filled with endless opportunities,
And you are eager to embrace them with open arms.
Four.
With each passing moment,
You feel a surge of strength and confidence building within you.
You are filled with excitement for the future,
And a sense of rising energy and warmth cover your entire being.
Five.
When you are ready,
You can gently open your eyes,
Feeling refreshed,
Renewed,
And deeply optimistic about the journey that lies ahead.
