Welcome to this multi-part meditation series,
Reconnect with Yourself,
Plant guided journeys through the sephira of the Kabbalah.
Spider Plan and I,
Tigreya Gardeña,
Are delighted to guide you on this journey.
Each journey will open you to unexpected sensations and capabilities contained within one sephira of the Tree of Life.
Whether you are a long-time Kabbalist or hearing about this for the first time,
With Spider Plan's expert musical direction,
You are sure to travel deep into your being.
Have writing and coloring materials close by to capture what comes to you at the end.
Plants use a variety of languages to communicate,
Including images,
Smells,
And sensations.
Capture everything,
Even if it seems to not be related.
The messages will become clear over time.
Kabbalah provides a way of perceiving how the universe works and what affects your ability to make free will decisions.
Each sephira offers a window into your own psychological and archetypal makeup across lifetimes.
And with the assistance of plants,
You can see through the illusion of conditioning,
Limiting beliefs,
And fear.
Although you may not recognize all the plants in this meditation,
Trust that Spider Plan's music is bringing up their essence.
During this practice,
We will connect with Geburah,
The place of discernment.
As the fifth emanation on the tree,
Geburah skillfully applies tough love to preserve justice.
Let's begin our journey.
I invite you to sit comfortably and shift your focus to the music.
This music is being composed by Spider Plant specifically to journey into Geburah.
Close your eyes.
Start taking some nice,
Deep breaths in through your nose.
Nice and slow.
Above you,
There is a single point of red light.
Intense and protective.
It expands from either side to create a triangle of red light.
From above your head,
Down to your toes.
From below your head,
Down to your shoulders.
Breathe in this light.
Hold out your arms to either side.
The triangle locates itself to your right and left,
Covering each arm from just outside the hand to the torso with a red triangle.
A triangle over your head and over each outstretched arm.
Another duplication,
Shifting new triangles down to your legs,
Forming a pentacle.
Two triangles from just below the feet coming up to match your dorsal.
Two triangles across your arms and one triangle above your head.
Five touching triangles of red light that cover your head,
Arms,
And legs.
Feel the pyramid fill with this radiating red light that covers your entire body.
Breathe into this light.
Stepping out from this pentagram,
The smells of cinnamon and tobacco fill your nostrils.
Pungent and energizing.
Determination fills inside you.
The energy almost crackles with an intensity and connections are being made within you that you never thought before.
Detached and impartial.
Decisions feel clear,
True,
And very powerful.
You sit at the base of a rowan tree to contemplate the clarity.
Clusters of red fruit remind you of the energy within the red pentagram.
Charged the delicate operations necessary to clean cut and avoid the pain.
Clean cut and avoid deadly compromise appear before you.
Invite this power in.
A stinging sensation jumps you out of your seat and you realize you've been sitting on stinging nettle.
A reminder,
You realize,
Of the dual nature of this sephira.
Gratitude soothes the sting of mortal,
Both friend and foe,
On the path to justice.
Explore the confines of severity from this safe space.
Next to the nettle,
A peony flower looms.
Bunched up layers of softened red turned pink.
Virtues of the superhuman.
Adept at wielding power balanced in mercy.
You rise and begin your journey back in disciplined contemplation.
Heart of a warrior.
Patience of a monk.
Each step your body becomes more pronounced,
Slowly bringing you back into the now.
You are back yet changed,
Courageous and clear.
Mother Din in her chariot.
When you feel ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Take your writing materials and capture everything that has come to you during this practice.
Movements,
Smells,
Fragments of thoughts.
These can all be ways the plants help bring into the physical world what you've perceived.
Let it flow from you directly with no filter.
In time,
With the help of the power of the spirit.
In time,
With the help of plant friends,
The meanings will start to take shape.
Thank you for your presence.
Spider Plant and I,
Tigiriya Gardenia,
Look forward to meeting again soon for another journey to reconnect with yourself.
