On Guides and Guardians

In one of my very first meditations to meet my spirit guides, I found myself in a beautiful temple built up on the edge of a cliff and there I met Diana, Isis and Athena. They proved to be powerful energies in my life and in my practice.

Set aside about a half an hour for this exercise. You'll want to be able to sit in a quiet place where you will not be interrupted or distracted. Make sure you're comfortable and in a positive state of mind.

When you're ready, sit quietly with your eyes closed and your palms face up in your lap.

Visualize the infinite creative energy of the Universe swirling around you, like a gentle whirlpool moving all around your body. Draw it into your crown chakra and send it down to the next chakra point with each slow deep breath you draw until you’ve sent the energy though your root chakra and back into the earth.

Breathe. Imagine the energy growing to surround you in a cocoon of color as each of your chakra points glow. Feel your aura thickening, as the energy wraps around you, mending any holes or thin places.

Now relax. Breathe and as you breathe visualize stepping into a forest path. Walk into the woods. Notice the branches you step over, the feel of the earth under your feet, the coolness of a gentle breeze as it stirs your hair and caresses you cheek…

Hear the birds call…

Breathe and follow the path deeper into the woods.

Follow it until you cross a dry stream bed. Careful pick your way to the other bank. Climb up the other side and step back on the path as it continues up the other side.

Notice that the earthen path has turned to stone.

Breathe and begin the gentle climb. Observe that the path you are walking is now etched into a stone face that steepens.

Draw a breath as your walk begins to climb. Look ahead of you and visualize a path carved into the side of a cliff. See how the gray rock was cut away to make the hike to the top safe and easy.

Walk until you near the top. Visualize a beautiful, open-air, temple carved into the stone. Great stone pillar support a massive ceiling. You notice an altar covered with candles. You watch as the flames of the candles dance in the breeze. You step into the temple and notice the pleasant scent of roses surround you, lifting your spirits and you smile as you draw closer to the altar. One candle in the center is not yet lit. You pick up a long match, light it from the candle nearest you and light it. Your spirit quiets as you whisper a prayer to meet your guide.

A soft sound behind you draws your attention and you turn to see a shimmering light. The light takes on a form and there before you stands your guardian.

Notice their face, their expression. What is their name?


AN EASY PAST LIFE REGRESSION


Set aside about a half an hour for this exercise. Find a peaceful place where you will be allowed to be completely calm and undisturbed for the entire session.

When you're ready, sit quietly with your eyes closed and your palms face up in your lap.

Ask for your Guides and your Guardian angels to be present for the entire session and to keep you safe and protected at all times.

State your objective. "I want to see who I was in my past life." "I want to heal the trauma I experienced in my past life." Or "I want some insight into a past personality."

Now visualize the infinite creative energy of the Universe swirling around you, like a gentle whirlpool moving all around your body. Draw it into your crown chakra and send it down to the next chakra point with each slow deep breath you draw until you’ve sent the energy though your root chakra and back into the earth.

Breathe. Imagine the energy growing to surround you in a cocoon of color as each of your chakras spin and glow like bright jewels of energy.

Feel the energy of the Universe wrap around you, strengthening your aura with a rainbow of colorful energy, mending any holes or thin places.

Take a moment to bask in the beautiful healing light. You are now at peace.

Take a deep breath and visualize on the screen of your mind that you are sitting on a couch in a room with a closed elevator. You notice that the doors of the elevator are made of shining chrome. It draws your attention and you rise from the couch and walk towards the elevator.

Your shoes click on the tile floor as you cross the room. You notice your reflection growing larger as you approach the reflective doors.

The elevator opens and you step inside.

The floor indicator shows you are on the 10th level. The lower floors are numbered chronologically below.

You push a button and the doors close. You feel the elevator as it begins to descend.

You feel the vibration in the floor as you move downward.

After awhile, the elevator stops and a bell chimes as the doors slide open.

You gaze out at the lower world and take note of what you see. If this level does not feel right to you, then stay on the elevator and push the button to descend to another level. Continue on your journey until you find the level you are looking for.

When you are ready to return to your previous state of consciousness reverse the process and take the elevator back to the room with the couch. Sit back down on the couch. Take a deep breath and wiggle your fingers and toes then slowly open your eyes.

The first time I tried this meditation I descend several floors until the doors opened on a moonlit path that led to a peaceful dark lake. I walked to the lake and found a canoe beached on the bank.

I pushed the canoe out into the dark water and paddled across until I came to a hut on the other side and there I met a moonlight Sophia who had several bits of wisdom for me.

Another time I tried this I stepped out onto a red sand path and found that I was running barefoot. I ran until I came to a village and there I met the leader and gave him a message.

I hope you are able to experience the wonders of meditation. May you gain the ability to tap into 'your well of inner peace' whenever you need to and connect with the state of altered consciousness for inner work.
