Hello and welcome to today's meditation.
The flight of the phoenix,
A journey of rebirth.
Take a deep breath in and let it out slowly.
Let each breath carry you deeper into stillness.
Allow your body to relax,
Your thoughts to soften and your awareness to open.
Now,
In your mind's eye,
See yourself standing in a vast desert just before dawn.
The air is cool,
The stars still glimmer above,
And a quiet anticipation stirs within you.
In the silence,
You feel it,
A presence,
Ancient and powerful,
Approaching.
From the horizon,
A great light begins to rise,
Not the sun,
But something far more alive,
A majestic phoenix emerges from the glow,
Its feathers shimmering with gold,
Crimson and stardust.
It soars towards you with grace and strength,
And as it lands before you,
You realize this phoenix is not separate from you,
It is a manifestation of your own essence,
The part of you that remembers,
The part of you that knows the way back to your whole self.
Without words,
The phoenix invites you onto its back,
You climb on,
And the moment you touch its feathers,
A warmth rushes through you,
Familiar,
Ancient,
Loving.
With a mighty beat of its wings,
The phoenix lifts into the sky,
Higher and higher you soar,
Until the earth below becomes a memory,
The stars grow brighter,
The air electric.
Suddenly,
You feel a shift,
As if reality itself begins to ripple with each beat of the phoenix's wings.
With every pulse,
The veil between worlds grows thinner,
You hear the songs of creation,
Vibrating through the air,
Tones and harmonies that speak to the deepest parts of you.
You are no longer flying through space,
You are flying within it.
Planets,
Galaxies,
Constellations stream past in radiant trails,
You feel the movement of time unraveling,
The fabric of existence opening up.
And yet,
With each passing star,
You feel closer,
Not to some faraway place,
But to your very core.
The phoenix begins to descend into a realm unlike anything you've seen before,
A realm of light and depth,
Stillness and sound.
And although everything here glows with otherworldly beauty,
It feels familiar,
Not new,
Remembered.
You have returned to a space within yourself,
A sacred space that has always been here,
Quietly waiting.
It is a place where your truth resides,
Where the fullness of your being is free to be known.
Here,
You do not need to search,
You do not need to try,
You simply allow.
Let the phoenix guide you to the places within you that are ready to be remembered.
Let go of the need to understand or define,
Trust the journey,
Trust yourself.
There may be images,
Feelings,
Memories,
Or simply a deep wordless knowing.
However it comes,
It is perfect,
Just breathe and allow the revealing.
You are not discovering something new,
You are returning to what has always been yours.
You are whole,
You are eternal,
You are reborn.
Take one more breath,
Feeling the light of this space,
Wrapping gently around you.
And now,
The phoenix begins its return,
Carrying the wisdom of this realm back to you,
Back with you.
You descend slowly,
Returning to your body,
Returning to your breath,
To the present moment.
Feel your fingers and toes,
And the surface beneath you,
And the air around you,
Feel the clothes on your skin.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes,
And carry the memory of this flight within you.
The phoenix is always with you,
Because it is you,
Rising,
Remembering,
Returning,
Again and again.
Thank you.
You
