It can be a gift at times to be able to see yourself as a stranger so that you might gain a different perspective of yourself. It is wise to not always know everything about yourself so that you might make new discoveries about your own wisdom. Our bodies here on earth are finite, but our souls, our higher selves, are eternal. Over lifetimes, our souls transform and evolve. During each lifetime, we might go through conflict, trauma, accidents or loss which can cause parts of us to be forgotten. We have the ability to thread these parts of our soul back together by connecting energetically to the parts of us that wish to be remembered. Join me for this soul journey and see the parts of you that wish to return. (Thank you for music by: Chris Collins and Music of Wisdom and Blue Dot Sessions)

Hi,

And thank you so much for joining me for our guided journey today into connecting with the parts of our soul that wish to return back to us today.

I'd like to share this quote with you by John O'Donohue from his book Anamkara,

Which talks about the perspective that we'll be taking during this journey.

John O'Donohue says this,

The first step in awakening to your inner life and to the depth and promise of your solitude would be to consider yourself,

A little while,

As a stranger to your own deepest depths,

To decide to view yourself as a complete stranger,

Someone who has just stepped ashore in your life,

Is a liberating exercise.

Gradually,

You will begin to sense the mystery and magic of yourself.

So for our journey today,

I want you to imagine that you yourself are a mystery to who you are at the depths of your physical,

Mental,

Emotional,

And spiritual self.

Our soul self,

Our higher self,

Is that part of us that is eternal,

Meaning,

It doesn't die when our physical body leaves this earth.

We continue to grow,

Evolve,

Transform,

Shift and change with every lifetime that we experience,

Whether it's here on earth or in another dimensional part of our universe.

Over those many lifetimes,

There can be things that happen with our incarnations where we lose those parts of our soul self,

Either because of fear,

Shame,

Trauma,

Accidents,

A deep forgetting so that we may remember.

And when we spend time consciously in the awakening of connecting with our soul or our higher self during this guided journey,

What we'll be doing is asking our guide,

Who today will be a hawk,

To help us reconnect those parts of our soul self that wish to return so that we may remember the deepest part of ourselves that we may not even know are here with us.

Just a note to us before we begin the journey is that during this journey,

Which is a guided visualization,

We will be connecting with our soul self and connecting with the spirit guide of Hawk in order to bring these parts of our soul back to us.

Then we'll take time to meet with our higher self to see what we remember.

If once you complete the journey with me in this guided practice,

If you didn't see,

Feel,

Hear,

Or connect with messages during the guided practice,

This does not mean that you did not bring back parts of yourself.

Sometimes it takes a day,

A week,

A month.

It takes our conscious self time to connect with the energy that comes through these practices.

So even if you don't receive messages at this time at the end of the practice,

You may continue to receive messages from your soul self about those parts that return to you even once we've closed our practice.

So remember to keep your mind,

Your heart,

Your soul open to receiving messages even after this guided journey closes.

And remember to allow yourself to be a stranger for just a moment to who you are so that you might see a deeper part of yourself,

Just as John O'Donohue shared through his book Anamkara.

Now let's move into the journey together.

Begin by connecting with your breath.

I'll have you place your right hand on your tummy and your left hand on your chest over your heart.

And as you breathe in,

Inhaling into your tummy all the way up to your chest.

And then exhaling from the chest back down until you exhale and your tummy goes back down.

Just creating this gentle rhythm within your body.

And on the next inhale,

I'll have you breathe in through the bottom of your feet,

Imagining the breath moves all the way up to the top of your head.

And then exhaling from the top of your head all the way back down through your feet.

And now allowing the energy of your feet to connect with Mother Earth.

So that this time when you take a deep breath in,

You inhale from Mother Earth up through your feet,

Your spine,

The top of your head,

The crown chakra opening,

And the breath moving all the way up to connect with your higher self,

Your soul self.

And on the exhale,

Bringing that energy of your higher self,

That fifth dimensional light,

Back through the top of your head,

Down your spine,

All the way through your feet and back to Mother Earth.

Now from this place of connection,

I'll have you,

In your imagination,

Imagine that you're standing in front of the doorway that is your third eye.

What does this doorway of your third eye look like as you connect with it now?

Now in your imagination,

I'll have you reach out and touch the doorway of your third eye with your hand.

And as you do,

It recognizes you and begins to glow and shine a beautiful indigo color,

This portal of your third eye opening up.

As you take a deep breath in,

You step through that indigo doorway of light into yourself.

As you come out the other side,

You see that you are standing in a beautiful place in nature.

And in the distance,

You see that your tree that's connected to you and your soul are standing in this space in nature.

Allow yourself to walk through this nature's path towards your tree,

Just connecting with the sounds that are around you,

The wind that touches your skin,

The sunlight overhead.

You feel your feet stepping on the ground beneath you as you get closer to your beautiful tree.

Now as you reach your tree,

You take this time to reach out and touch the bark of the trunk of your tree,

Your soul tree,

Grateful that you're here in this moment.

Allow yourself to take this time to say hello to your tree and your tree say hello back to you.

You see that the bark illuminates,

Registering that it has heard your message.

And that energy travels up into the branches,

Into the leaves of your tree.

And then the wind comes by and catches the intentions off the leaves and moves it through the sky,

Through the clouds.

It catches the vibration of your hawk guide.

Hawk catching the energy of your soul's intention is drawn towards you and your tree.

And when you look up,

You can see the hawk circling above you,

Above your soul tree.

You call to the hawk now in greeting.

And as you do,

The hawk circles down and lands on the branch of your soul tree above you.

You thank both your tree and hawk for being here today.

Now in your imagination,

I'll have you turn around and have a seat at the base of the trunk of your soul tree.

Closing your eyes and bringing your right hand once more to your belly,

Your left hand to your heart,

And taking a deep breath in.

And as you exhale,

Your intention of connecting with the parts of your soul that wish to be reunited with you today that energy moving up the trunk of the tree to the branches.

And as your hawk guide feels the energy of your intention,

He or she lifts off the branch,

Flies overhead and begins to make a circle upward above the tree,

Up into the sky.

Your hawk is following the golden light that's connected from your tree on earth,

All the way up to the path that's connected along your soul,

Up into the fifth dimension,

This beautiful radiant golden stream of light connected to your higher self.

Your hawk guide is able to read the energy and see the parts of your soul that wish to be reunited with you today.

When hawk connects with a part of your soul that wishes to be threaded back into this golden stream of light,

He or she is able to hover in front of this thread of your soul,

Reach out with his or her beak,

Gently pull that thread back into the stream of light that is your soul.

And as your hawk guide does this,

This piece of your soul becomes threaded back into the stream of light.

In your imagination with your eyes closed,

You can see each thread that hawk pulls back into your soul self.

And as you feel each thread woven together of these parts of your soul back into your soul light,

You're able to breathe more deeply and your heart fills with love and light.

Allow yourself now in this next moment of silence to imagine each thread of your soul that is reunited with your higher self.

Allow yourself to connect with the energy of hawk as he or she brings back each part of yourself.

I'll have you take a deep breath in and exhale.

Your hawk spirit guide able to move through dimensions now reaches the fifth dimension where he or she now flies over your fifth dimensional light body,

Your soul self,

As your hawk guide lands on the shoulder of your higher self.

Your higher self turns into an angelic being of light with wings that are golden and outstretched like a phoenix.

The energy moving between you,

Your soul tree,

The golden light up to your angelic self.

With all the pieces woven back in that wish to be reunited with you today,

Your angelic soul guide this part of you that is your fifth dimensional self dives down into this golden stream of light,

Circling around and around,

Coming back down.

Your soul now lands next to you on the ground underneath your soul tree.

In your imagination,

You open your eyes and stand.

What does your angelic soul self look like in this moment?

What is the energy your soul radiates?

Allow yourself to connect with your angelic fifth dimensional self now.

Now the two of you have a seat underneath your soul tree.

Your angelic self holds all the information of all the parts of you that Hawk has brought.

All these woven parts of yourself back into your stream of light.

With this information inside of your soul that have been called back in,

In this time now,

In this next moment of silence,

I'll have you take this time to ask your angelic soul self all the questions that you wish to know.

What parts of yourself have been brought back in?

If those parts have anything to share with you today that they would like you to know.

As you experience these connections of these parts of your soul self,

The information might come through as colors,

As spoken words or songs,

As light,

As images.

Take this time now to ask your soul self any questions that you have and allow yourself to receive the answers about those parts of yourself that are reunited with you.

I'll have you take this time now to listen,

Feel,

Hear all that comes through to you.

I'll have you take a deep breath in and exhale.

Now as you look around from all that your fifth dimensional self has shared with you,

You see that sitting around the tree are all the parts of you who have returned today.

In your imagination I'll have all of you,

All these parts of you,

All of you stand up now and face the tree and create a circle around the tree and hold one another's hands.

And now your fifth dimensional self that holds all the energy not only of who you are but also of divine light begins to move the energy of compassion,

Love,

Understanding and grace.

And this light streams into you through your hands and into the hands of each of the soul part of you who has returned.

And all of you inhale together and as you exhale it creates a beautiful golden circle of light around your entire tree.

This light glowing out into the sky and as it does it calls Hawk back down.

Hawk radiating through this golden circle of light landing in the treetops.

Hawk's wings outspread collecting this light creating a beautiful circle of protection around all of you.

Now you all take a deep breath in and as you exhale Hawk takes off into the sky and as Hawk spirals up up up this golden beam of light on his wings travel your higher fifth dimensional self as well.

And when you look around the tree you see that it is just you and your soul tree standing together.

In this moment you feel connected to the earth,

Connected to your tree,

Connected to yourself and you feel stronger and yet lighter at the same time.

Now I'll have you turn around having a seat at the base of the trunk of your tree,

Your back resting against the trunk,

Closing your eyes and this time placing your left hand on your tummy,

Your right hand on your heart and taking this time to connect with the energy that moves through you,

Connected to all the parts of yourself that you have brought back into your energy.

Allowing yourself in this next moment of silence to integrate that energy.

I'll have you take a deep breath in and exhale.

When you're ready in your imagination I'll have you stand,

Open your eyes,

Turn around and thank your soul tree for being here today.

Your spirit hawk who wheels above you high high in the sky you thank for being on this journey with you today.

Now in your imagination turning around and moving back towards the doorway of your third eye from which you entered,

Moving through the space and nature just seeing if anything has shifted around you,

What animals,

Birds,

Flowers surround you as you walk back towards the third eye doorway.

Now as you stand in front of that indigo doorway of light that is your third eye,

When you're ready I'll have you step through the doorway and find yourself standing back in front of your third eye.

You turn and reach your hand out touching this doorway of light and as you do the doorway closes for now.

You turn around close your eyes and bring your hands into Anjali mudra.

Pray your hands placing them in front of your chest,

Your thumbs gently resting against your sternum.

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

Now when you're ready coming back to this time and place with me now in the present moment and opening your eyes when you're ready to and then just taking time to come back into your body by stretching,

Circling your ankles and wrists,

Wiggling your fingers and toes,

Gently rolling your neck side to side,

Shrugging your shoulders and reaching your hands and arms overhead.

Just know that you can come back to this journey,

This meditation anytime that you feel called to,

To connect to your soul tree,

To connect with your hawk guide and your higher self.

I'm grateful that you got to spend time with your soul and with those parts of yourself that wish to return back to you,

That you remember more deeply who you are.

I'd like to share this poem that I wrote that helps you realize the elegance,

Grace and wisdom of your soul.

Your soul can take any shape,

Any form.

An eagle,

A feather,

A beetle reborn.

It mirrors the light of creating all things and walks,

Crawls,

Dives and dances on railroad tracks.

Your soul holds the songs from when you were born once,

Twice,

A thousand times more.

Your soul is the light breaking through cloudy days.

Your soul is the wisdom of stars expanding millennia away.

And yet,

When you sit right here,

Your soul is at your side,

A friend on the journey,

An adventure waiting to be explored.

Over the next day,

Week,

Month,

Allow your soul to continue to share with you from all these places that were re-threaded back into you.

Your soul may share with you through images,

Memories,

Something that you read or sing might come to mind or heart.

And may you always know that your soul is a friend,

That part of you that can never leave your side.

Have a beautiful and amazing day.

Namaste.
