Gentle Guided Meditation
Let’s consider the element of the ETHEREAL ESSENCE. To begin, a guided practice…Prep… SETTLE IN, SOFTEN/CLOSE EYES…ALLOW YOURSELF TO BECOME COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE…
Allowing the (divine) Self to meet the (human) self
Allowing the breath to move the Spirit within
Allowing the breath to connect to the Divine
Allowing, allowing, allowing
Settling in to the sensation of Spirit
Through breath
Inhale / Exhale
To know, to know, to know
Sensing the mists of time…the essence that is Spirit
Through breath
Inhale / Exhale
Guiding the mind to release tension
Guiding the body to release tension
Guiding the Spirit to release all that it is not, and claim all that it wants to be
Through breath, I know…I know…I know
I meet my (human) self as (divine) Self, spirit, essence
Divinely placing one foot in front of the other, on sand, on earthy forest pine and moss…divinely placing hands on heart…knowing, knowing, knowing
Connecting to ancestors
Bygone bloodlines
Remembered in body
Pondered in thought
Realized, in pure, delighted form…we radiate all the goodness, strength, and wisdom of our grandmothers
Touching the mists of time…the essence that is Spirit
Through breath
Inhale / Exhale
I am…I am…I am…

Ethereal Journaling Prompts
When was the last time you allowed yourself to soar? To merge with what you felt so strongly… a strong eye lock with a loved one…a focus so intently, directed through the eyes of another…connecting you intently to one another, to the divine essence of that other / that person / soul? Write about it here…and if you can’t recall a time…take a few moments and imagine staring directly into the face of someone and sense what this “other” feels like to you…the connection to their spirit…how their spirit feels with and around and connected to you…
What does freedom mean to you? When do you feel most free? What is it you need to free yourself form at this period in your life? Free write for as long as it feels right…Until what is written on the page sets you free, invigorates you, connects you to your spirit / essence…
