Welcome to this guided journey,
A shamanic drum journey where we will be connecting to your central power animal.
In the Nagual space,
Also known as the spirit world,
We'll be traveling and you will make this link to this power animal that has the most natural sense of connection to you.
Their natural attributes and energy most closely resemble your own empowered essence and no matter what animal shows up,
The invitation here after the journey will simply be for you to research and learn as much as you can about that animal and continue to connect with them in the spirit world.
So if you're ready,
Find yourself in a comfortable spot and let's begin.
Taking a deep breath in and letting it go as you continue to bring deep breaths of relaxation into your body and dropping that breath all the way down into the soles of your feet.
And in this humble receptive position,
In this point of relaxation,
Bring to mind an intention that you desire to receive guidance on.
And if there is no set desire or intention,
Then simply holding the intent of receiving the guidance from your power animal today.
And now imagining roots growing out through the soles of your feet,
Going deep into the soil of the earth,
Down deep past the roots of trees,
Down until they wrap around a crystal,
A rock,
Or perhaps even the core of the earth,
Creating an anchor with you and the mother earth you walk on.
Feeling the support of her beneath you,
Begin to draw energy up like a bright light,
Up through those roots and into the soles of your feet.
Your feet begin to fill with this light,
Wrapping up through the heels,
The toes,
Up through the tops of your feet and your ankles.
This part of your body becoming still and quiet,
Light and vibrant,
And breathing that light and relaxation up into the shins,
Up into the calves of both legs,
Allowing the energy to travel up through the knees,
Noticing the vibrancy as it continues to make its way up through your thighs and into your hips.
Relaxing and letting go,
Filling that pelvic bowl with this light.
Part of your body still and quiet,
Light and vibrant,
Up through your intestines and organs,
Up into the diaphragm and wrapping around the sides of your torso as it moves through your kidneys and your back,
Bringing a sense of stillness and quiet vibrancy to this part of your body.
Breathing that relaxation up into the upper back,
Up into the chest and heart,
And meeting at the shoulders,
Continuing to breathe this relaxation,
This light energy flows like waterfalls down both arms,
Down through biceps and triceps,
Down through elbows and forearms,
Down into your wrists,
And each finger is filled as your hands become this vibrant place of light.
Breathing the energy now into your neck,
Up through your throat and vocal cords,
Letting go of things said and unsaid from your day,
Allowing complete relaxation to enter into this part of your body now.
That vibrant light travels up into your chin and jaw,
In through your mouth,
Relaxing down your tongue,
Creating space in your mouth,
Relaxing the facial muscles as the cheeks,
The eyelids,
The nose,
All relax and fill with light.
Your temples,
Your forehead and eyebrow,
Your entire face now filled with this light,
Still and quiet,
Light and vibrant.
Breathing up now into the crown,
Up through the skull at the back of the head,
And now begin to focus all your awareness at the center of gravity at your navel point,
And guide all the energy you've built up to begin to gravitate to this central point in your body.
Building and expanding the center of gravity,
See and feel a powerful ball of light growing there,
Larger and brighter.
Grow this ball of light,
Dropping your awareness,
Dropping the energy into the center of gravity at your navel.
As you prepare to travel now into that spirit world,
And begin to push that ball of light out through your navel,
Following energy fibers as you journey now to a natural place,
A place of vast beauty,
A place that resembles nature,
But is in fact,
A dream world.
Travel now to your most powerful place in nature.
And taking a look around you,
Sensing,
Feeling,
Perceiving this space in the Nagual.
This is your place.
Witness whatever natural occurrences are taking place here.
And you begin to wander as you go to find an open space for you to begin building your Nagual medicine wheel.
This is going to be an anchor for you,
And you will build the medicine wheel here to call in the directions,
To create safety and support you as you journey with your animal.
So finding that space in which you will build your medicine wheel,
You pick up a rock on the ground beneath you,
And you hold it up as you turn to the east,
And you call to the rising sun and to the stars.
You call to all interconnectedness and the fires of life,
Calling to Archangel Raphael in the east.
And you place that rock down in the direction of the east,
And you turn to the west.
You call to the setting sun,
To the sacred earth,
And the ability to go within to that place of pure inner knowing.
Acknowledge the place of physical experience,
Of health and wellness of your physical body,
And call to Archangel Gabriel.
And you place that rock in the west.
And turn to the south.
You call to the waters of life in the place of the heart,
The place where reality and myth coexist.
Acknowledge the plants and their medicine,
That world that gives you oxygen,
Shelter,
And food.
And call to Archangel Mikhael.
And turn to the north.
Acknowledge the place of open-mindedness,
Where new possibilities and experience can create your perception with pure clarity.
Call to those animals of the animal kingdom,
And you call to Archangel Auriel in the north,
To the place of self-reflection and inner self-concepts.
The place from which life is reflected,
And where you interpret your responses and attitudes about your life.
Call to an inner attitude that can always make change possible,
Regardless of what may seem impossible.
Call to the ancestors,
Spirit,
Spirit,
Who love you.
And place that rock in the southeast.
Pick up a rock,
And turn to the southwest.
Call to the sacred dream of life,
And to the quality of your life,
That it may be full and alive,
That you may receive the dream images of the nagwa that guide you to your potential.
Place that rock in the southwest,
And turn to the northwest.
Call to the circle of law,
And to goddess justice,
That inwardly and outwardly you may walk,
And that you may be able to walk in dharma.
Call to the sacred movement of life and of energy,
And ask to be in alignment with that energy.
Call to the sacred moon,
Knowing that the moon's impact is like your own inner movement,
When guided by your higher self.
Ask to always grow and move on your sacred path of life.
And place that rock in the northeast.
Now I invite you to sit inside this medicine wheel,
And get a sense of the power that you've created in this space.
Really feel how it can become your sanctuary in the nagwa.
This power animal entering into your medicine wheel now.
How is your energy like mine?
To help me step more fully into self-knowledge and empowerment,
Until you have fully shape-shifted into this animal's form,
And are looking out through the animal's eyes.
And as you shape-shift into your animal's form,
Begin going on a journey out into the nagwa.
Expression.
Journey now.
Making your journey back to your medicine wheel.
And when you've returned to your medicine wheel,
Slip out of your animal's body,
So that you are once again in your human form,
Looking at your animal.
Gazing again at your animal.
What is my next step of inner evolution?
Your power animal to merge its form with yours,
Being the essence and skills of this animal.
Now step out of the medicine wheel,
Looking once more to see the power of this space,
And how it has deepened,
Knowing that you can return here at any time.
And now returning back to your physical body,
Retracing the steps,
Following the light energy fibers back into your physical body.
Returning.
Returning to your body.
