Greetings and welcome back.
In this meditation,
We are going to use shamanic dreaming practices to meet the magician archetype of the planet Mercury,
However they appear to you.
We all have Mercury and their two home signs,
Gemini and Virgo,
In our birth charts,
Even if you don't have any planets occupying those signs.
In Roman mythology,
Mercury is the messenger god,
The only one who has the ability to travel back and forth between the land of the living and the dead.
Mercury as the messenger god is also associated with communication,
Learning,
And disseminating information.
Within ourselves,
Our natal Mercury placements point to how we learn and communicate,
And how we bring meaning into reality,
How we manifest our understanding of the world.
They speak to our innate curiosity and desire to learn more,
How we rationalize,
And our thought patterns.
Even if it feels difficult for you to connect with Mercury-type energies,
They're there.
Think back to your childhood when you were learning so much about the world and how to operate in it.
Education is another place we find Mercurial energy.
What was your experience like in school?
Think of a time where you learned something that made other things click into place and had an aha moment.
Because how we think directly creates what kind of experience of reality we have.
Mercury is the magician,
The ultimate manifester.
Thought patterns dictate what sort of energy is attracted to us and what we repel.
Changing a thought pattern can attract so many new opportunities our way.
How you connect will certainly be influenced by where Mercury is in your chart and what kind of communication they are in with other planets,
But they are there,
Helping you along in your learning journey.
We're going to use shamanic dreaming to come into contact with your inner magician,
Your own personal Mercury expression.
I want you to relax,
Taking several deep breaths in and out together.
Breathe in.
Hold.
Release.
Come into the present moment and into your body.
Let go of outside thoughts.
Breathe in again into wherever you're feeling the most sensation in your body.
Let it out with a sigh.
Last time,
Breathe in together.
Hold it at the top.
Let it go.
Allow your mind to make space for this visualization to happen.
Set an intention to meet your inner magician.
Hold it in your heart.
Breathe into it.
And let it go.
Imagine you're standing within a mountain forest.
The air is cool and dry.
The wind is strong enough to feel it rushing against your skin.
Look down at your feet.
They're firmly planted against the rocky ground,
And if you pay close attention,
You can feel the energy of the earth coming up to meet you where your skin touches it.
What time of day is it?
What's the weather like?
What sort of things do you notice in the environment around you?
Take in all the smells,
Colors,
Sensations.
All the plants and animals.
The sky.
You notice a pathway off to the side and you walk over to it,
Setting course up the mountainside.
Pine needles crunch beneath your feet.
The wind seems to grow a little stronger,
Blowing against your back as if encouraging you to keep climbing.
In the distance,
Among thick trees,
You see a beautiful building.
It's so tall that it seems to disappear into the sky above you,
Into the misty clouds.
As you get closer,
It appears to be some sort of library.
Even from here,
You can peek in and see the cases upon cases of books.
You finally get to the door and it's cracked open for you already.
Take a moment to observe the building up close.
What does the door look like?
What materials is it made of?
You push open the door and enter.
You feel welcomed here.
What does it look like inside?
Are there any books that immediately take your interest?
Any decorations?
What colors are around you?
What sort of emotions are here?
As you wander around the room,
You notice there's a bench next to a window that's set at the edge of the mountainside.
Before coming to sit there,
You grab a book from the shelf.
It doesn't matter which one,
It'll be the right one for you.
You sit.
The seat overlooks distant peaks and you get a clear view of the vast expanse of the beautiful sky.
Sitting here,
You take a moment to appreciate the beauty.
You then look down and open the book you chose.
It seems to be showing you times in your life that you learned lessons that changed how you see the world.
What experiences are coming up for you?
Take a moment to reflect on how holding onto this experience has expanded or limited you in any way.
What sort of self-talk or filters does your mind use as a result of this experience happening?
As you come out of these memories,
You look up to see your inner magician sitting next to you on the bench.
The one who helps you create your life in alignment with your thoughts.
What do they look like to you?
Greet this part of yourself that has been so instrumental in shaping who you are.
Your inner magician has a message for you.
Listen to what they have to say.
I'll be silent for a while to give you time and space to receive this message and to ask any questions you may have for your inner magician.
It's now time to leave this space.
Thank your inner magician for coming to meet you.
Know that you can come back here anytime or tap into this energy whenever you want.
Make your way back the same way you came into the library.
Back to the entrance you arrived in.
Has the path changed at all?
Follow the pathway then back to where you came to the mountainside.
Now come back into your body.
Take a deep breath.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Take some time to let the messages you received from your inner magician to sink in.
Maybe write down anything that feels important to remember.
You are magical and surrounded by opportunities to change the experience of your life by changing your thoughts.
Thank you for going on this journey with me.
I'm wishing you peaceful ease for the rest of your day from my corner of the universe.
