Journey into the Temple of Light

Journey to the Temple of Light.

Come stand with me at the edge of the woods.

Take the time to breathe in the sweet smell of trees,

The scent of pine,

Of rich loamy soil.

Feel the soil of the earth underneath your feet.

Feel your energies extending down into the body of the earth,

Connecting you with her.

Gather those energies up into your heart in preparation for the journey.

Hold the earth in your heart and feel expanded and loved and held and nourished.

Extend your energies up through your body from your heart,

Through your chest and through the top of your head,

Up through the tops of the trees,

Through the clouds,

Through the clear blue sky,

To the sun above.

Feel the warmth of the sun.

Connect with the vast mystery of space and the love that the Creator breathes across the still waters,

Continually creating light and life and love.

Drink those in now through the top of your head and let them flood down into your heart,

Adjoining the energies of the earth in your heart.

What is it like to hold heaven and earth in your heart at the same time,

Preparing for this journey of healing?

Be aware of those generations that have gone before you and come in front of you.

And gather around you all those beings of light that walk with you,

That protect you and guide you and love you in this lifetime.

Now having connected yourself with the earth and with the heavens,

With those who have gone before and those who come after,

And those who walk with you in this life.

Follow me as we move down the trail,

Through the forest,

To the temple of light.

And with each step you take,

Caress the earth.

With each breath you breathe.

Breathe in the trees and the stars and the birds.

Feel connected to all of the life in these woodlands.

Remember they walk with you and support you in this journey.

They send you love and a prayer.

And as you continue to walk down the trail,

Hone your intention.

What is it that you want from this journey?

What part of yourself are you healing?

What is it that you want to open to?

How do you want to be different?

Leave yourself and set a good intention.

Winding your way through the trees.

Come down this slight incline to the backside of the temple.

To the little door buried in the hillside,

Surrounded by stone and vine.

Let the honey be carved in the arch above the door.

See the little niche,

The little altar in the hillside here,

For the goddess of the temple.

So leave a gift for her.

For you come asking for help.

Kiss the earth,

Ask permission to enter the temple.

Open the door.

Hunker down and walk or crawl through the narrow passageway.

And then come sit here in this beautifully carved wooden chair.

And as you sit here,

Let your senses adjust to the light in this huge cave.

To the colors,

To the space,

To the smell.

And let me wash your feet.

Feel the warmth of the water and the texture of the cloth as I wash away the dust from all the journeys gone before.

Wash away all the cares,

All the old memories and old patterns of behavior.

Feel the warmth and freshness of the water.

I offer you a robe now,

Something warm and cuddly that's just the right color and the right texture of fabric for you.

Wrap yourself up in it and follow me.

Look around at the cave.

What is it that you see here?

Come to the center where there is a deep pool.

A pool of water that stretches deep down into the root of the mother herself.

A spring so clear.

Lean over.

Kneel down perhaps.

Look at yourself in the reflection of this crystal clear pool.

It is time here to state your intention to the earth.

What is it you have come here for?

Now touch your fingers to the water.

Feel its temperature.

Bring the water six times to the top of your head.

And the seventh to your heart.

Sealing the intention.

Come with me now to the back of this cave,

This womb inside of the mother earth.

There is a space that has been prepared for you.

There are comforters and feather beds and pillows of beautiful colors.

Pick out the ones you want.

Make yourself a comfortable nest and crawl inside.

For it is here you will receive a healing.

I will make a prayer to the creator now,

Calling in help.

O birther,

Mother,

Father,

God of all creation,

You who creates all that moves in light,

We ask you this day with your deepest love to come here.

See this one who seeks a healing.

See this one who has come deep into the womb of the mother earth,

Set an intention,

Is asking for help.

We're grateful,

So grateful for this opportunity.

Grateful for the beauty of the earth.

Grateful,

So grateful for your love.

We ask you to call in the spirit healers,

The master healers coming in to work with this one now.

Take care.

Take care of the needs now,

For you know exactly what needs to be done.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Blessed be.

And so now as the spirit healers gather around you,

Be aware of them.

Feel them working on your body,

On your mind and your spirit.

Open yourself with love to their presence,

To their healing energies.

And enjoy.

So pay attention to your experience at this moment.

What is changing?

What is happening for you?

As you feel these magnificent spirit healers begin to complete their work,

Express your gratitude to them for all that they've done,

For the healing energies that they bring to your life.

And when you're ready,

I offer you a glass of water,

Water that comes from the crystal spring in the center of this cave.

And I also offer you the opportunity,

If you'd like,

To put on some new robes.

I have here a whole array of styles and colors,

Different fabrics,

Different textures.

Choose one that suits you.

The beauty that is inside of you is reflected on the outside of you as well.

Perhaps there is a jewel that you would like to wear,

An ankle bracelet,

A crown,

A pendant,

A ring.

What suits you for right now?

Anything can be yours.

Choose.

Put it on.

See what it feels like.

And follow me now and feel what it feels like to walk in this new garment,

In this new way of being.

And come and look at yourself.

See yourself,

The reflection in the pool.

Gather around and look.

What do you see?

Take the time to notice the beings of light that are here as well with you gathered around this pool.

And perhaps you might even catch a glimpse of your own light radiating magnificently from the inside of you out.

Come follow me once again,

For we go now to the second part of this journey.

Moving up the spiral staircase to the upper story of the temple.

So as you place your foot on the staircase and your hand on the rail,

Feel it.

What is it like?

What is the texture?

And the temperature?

As you place one foot after the other,

Spiraling around and up,

Around and up,

Around and up,

Emerging into a vast space,

A room filled with light and beauty.

So as you enter this new space,

Take the time to look around.

There is an altar here.

Go take a look if you'd like.

Are there icons there with which you can connect?

Objects?

Crystals,

Stones,

Feathers,

Pictures,

Whatever's there,

It's there for you.

And there are 12 sides to this space,

Each side telling its own story for you.

What does it have to say?

What do you learn from it?

As you take the time to look.

So take your time,

Explore this space.

Learn what's here.

That's the space.

And as you move towards the center where there is a huge crystal,

Be aware both of the crystal and of the beings of light that are here with you to guide you on the next part of the journey.

So feel their love for you,

Feel their light as they help you become more and more filled with light.

And as you become lighter they gather you up and carry you high,

Up through the huge vaulted ceiling of the temple,

Through the little cipapu,

The little doorway at the very top of the temple roof,

Up through the tree tops into the heavens.

And they'll take you exactly where you need to be taken.

Is it to the moon,

To the sun,

To one of the planets,

Or a star system,

Or a galaxy far away or just simply to the vast expanse of space?

Have a good journey.
