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 Chod,
Majestic glory.
As the eighth emanation on the tree,
Chod spreads information brought through the eyes.
Let's begin our journey.
I invite you to sit comfortably and show me your hands.
I invite you to sit comfortably and shift your focus to the music.
This music is being composed by Spider Plan,
Specifically to journey into Chod.
Close your eyes.
Start taking some nice,
Deep breaths.
In through your nose,
Out through your mouth.
Nice and slow.
Place your head between your knees,
Bending over if you're sitting or standing up.
Hang your head down and arms towards your toes.
Hold here for a few seconds.
Nice and relaxed.
Continuing with your deep breaths.
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
Slowly bring your head back up,
Vertebrae by vertebrae.
Adjust your body with slow movements and settle back into a comfortable position.
Relaxed and calm,
Following the easy rhythm of your breath in harmony with the music.
With the mind and body relaxed,
You see a single pansy flower a little ways in front of you.
Out of place,
You go towards it,
Trying to make sense of its appearance here.
You sort through the memories you have of pansies,
A common flower in shopping center landscapes and home gardens.
Going through reels of when and where you've seen them,
Like a filing cabinet,
Your mind explores the characteristics.
The velvety color of the flower petals,
Yellows,
Purples,
Blues,
Reds.
The short little body with heart-shaped or rounded leaves.
Damp,
Cool climate where they are found.
Your mind investigates and catalogs,
Not really understanding how it knows,
Yet confident that it does.
The luscious,
Sweet scent of frangipani pulls you out of your categorizing.
You stand and follow the olfactory guidance.
As you walk,
You pass a giant sage bush.
The splendor of nature,
Manipulating all manifestations and appearances.
Keys of power behind appearances,
Sage elicits truthfulness by wiping away the impurities of conditioning.
Experience this purity of thought and action here.
Frangipani calls again,
Asking you to see what lies just beyond the plane.
The intelligences of other forms of evolution can only be understood when we are confident enough in our own intelligence to let go.
Safely wrapped in the fragrance,
The intellectual mind explores how thoughts become forms for other being.
Human beings have learned to exercise a profound influence over their environment.
Other beings touch with a much lighter thought print,
Receive their knowledge to integrate and elevate your own into light,
Conscious action.
A satisfying feeling of intelligence fills you.
The time to return has begun.
A last visit with sage to purify any lasting darkness.
Pansy also awaits your visit.
An opportunity to see with refreshed eyes.
Update your catalogs from the pansy,
From before to the pansy of now.
The discovery of self through other.
You take inventory of who you have become as you return into form.
You are back in your body,
Yet changed.
There is a new level of real willpower where confidence,
Victorious,
Executes from logical knowledge.
When you feel ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Take your writing materials and capture everything that has come to you during this practice.
Movement,
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 plant friends,
The meanings will start to take shape.
Thank you for your presence.
Spider Plant and I,
Tigreya Gardenia,
Look forward to meeting again soon for another opportunity to reconnect with yourself.
