This recording is best done after drinking ceremonial cacao.
So I invite you to make sure that you have true,
Authentic ceremonial cacao and that it is from a sustainable source.
Please also make sure that you prepare your cacao in a sacred space with pure intention.
Once you have done this and you have created your safe and sacred space,
If it is available to you,
Please open up the four directions,
The cardinal directions of South,
West,
North and East,
Bringing in the spirits of each direction,
As well as connecting to Pachamama,
Mother Earth,
Father Sun and Grandmother Moon.
Once you have done this,
You can then get started with the following journey with the goddess Ishikakau.
I invite you to lie down,
Making yourself comfortable and taking a deep breath.
As you feel your connection to your breath,
I invite you to find your connection to your heart centre.
As your breath expands your chest and softens and surrenders on the exhale,
I invite you,
In your mind's eye,
To bring your visual,
To imagine that you are standing at your heart centre and at your heart centre you see a door to the chamber of your heart.
This door is closed and for a moment you stand there,
Taking in the features of this door,
The handle,
The size,
Any carvings on it.
And then you feel a warmth and presence next to you.
And as you look to your side,
You see the goddess Ishikakau herself coming towards you.
She comes and stands by your side,
Looks you deep in the eye and smiles,
And says,
Take my hand,
Dear one,
And let us journey together to the depths of your heart.
So you take her hand,
She leads you towards the door,
And together,
Your hand and hers,
You hold the handle,
Gently open the door and step across the threshold.
And as you step into your heart space,
The goddess still there,
Holding your hand,
You feel safe,
Nurtured and guided.
And you start to look around and she says to you,
Dear one,
Do not be afraid.
Let me take you and show you that even the places that you do not wish to see,
The places that are darker or perhaps have scars,
Do not need to be feared.
They are part of you and part of your journey.
So come with me,
Dear one,
As we move through the chambers of your heart,
Both the dark and the light,
To see the wisdom that you have been seeking.
And you are safe with the goddess as she shows you the beauty of the dark as well as the light.
And slowly you find yourself at the centre of your heart.
And standing at the centre of your heart is another being,
Perhaps a spirit animal or one of your ancestors.
And slowly they come towards you and smile and they give you this beautiful gift.
They hold out their hands and offer you a gift that is just for you.
And within this gift you are shown a beautiful piece of wisdom that has been within you,
Within your heart all along.
And you know exactly why you have received this gift,
This message,
This piece of wisdom right now.
And this being that is in front of you smiles at you and looks you deep into your eyes and steps forward,
Giving you a hug,
Blessing you with their love and their wisdom.
As you realise that they are in the centre of your heart,
Because they are of you and you are of them.
And slowly you bid farewell to this being as they slowly start to disappear.
The goddess Ishkakal takes your hand once again and says to you,
Come dear one,
Let us continue our journey through your heart as we step from one chamber to the next.
As you slowly make your way up,
Up,
Past all the chambers of your heart,
Back up to the door,
Back to the door of your heart,
Knowing that you can come here at any time.
This is you and it is not something that needs to be feared.
As the goddess stands with you,
Just before leaving the chamber of your heart,
She looks you deep in the eye and leaves you with one last message.
She smiles at you and tells you in a whisper and she finishes off by saying,
Dearest one,
Take a look around you once more and see that all of these parts of your heart,
The joyful,
The lonely,
The happy,
The vulnerable,
The broken and the whole,
Are all part of you and are exactly as they should be.
These pieces of you are able to help you as you share your light with the world.
All you need to do is trust in yourself,
Trust that every piece of your heart can be loved and can be shown to the world.
That is stepping into your true power without fear of judgement,
Just pure love.
As she slowly takes your hand again,
Together you open the door and step back across the threshold,
Out of the chamber of your heart.
As you close the door and take a look at each other once more,
You bow your head in gratitude,
Thanking the Goddess for showing you the beauty of your own heart.
And slowly she starts to disappear.
You find yourself standing there alone,
Knowing that you are actually never alone.
As you start to reconnect to your breath,
As you bring the image of yourself out of your heart centre,
Breathing deeply as you feel yourself 100% connected back into your body,
Centred with the weight of the earth beneath you and centred with deep inhales and exhales.
As you come back,
Coming back,
Coming back to your body.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.
Please feel free to journal or draw any visions or messages that have come to you.
And take a little moment alone in stillness before you step back out into the world.
Aho.
