Turn your focus and attention to your breath. Allow your
consciousness to move with the rise and fall of your chest and the filling and
release of the lungs. Continue in this manner for several breaths; allowing
each to become softer, smoother and slower
You step
out onto a well-worn path- and you smell the dampness of the
earth and can make out the silhouettes of the trees
surrounding you. Above, the sky is velvety black and
the moon shines down like a spot light creating a
circle of light around you. This is Malkuth; your physical
world. Take a moment to look around. As you stand in this
circle of moonlit space a violet mist swirls around you. It
encircles and embraces you within its violet glow and you
feel as though you are being lifted upwards.
You feel
what appears to be soft ground beneath your feet and the
swirling mist has now changed into ribbons of indigo colored cloth.
The cloth is gauzy and light and is moving quite rapidly
although there is no apparent breeze. You are unsure of the
origins of this movement and as you begin to focus on this
thought the swaths of indigo cloth appear to fade. As your
eyes adjust to the dimness of light, you realize that what
you thought were ribbons of cloth now are seen as beams of
milky white light. You look down and see that what you
thought was soft ground beneath is a cottony grey mist that
does not seem dense enough to hold your weight. Things are
not as they appear in this realm and you make mental note to
give pause before making judgment of what you experience
here.
As you
become more accustomed to the surroundings your senses begin
to heighten and you can
feel an energy that seems full of many different particles
of light, substance and although the form and shapes are not
clear you intuit that there is great potential in what
encloses you. You look down and see that what you are
standing upon has no distinct shape and there appear to be
rhythmic pulses within the misty grey depths of this
landscape. Outlines of form move and rise to the
surface- some contracting back into the greyness and others
seem to rise upwards and fade out of sight- never taking
solid form. You remember that in the space of Malkuth color,
shape and form took on more depth and detail. You
could hear every
sound. Everything here seems to be just a fleeting image or
the muffled sound of something you are unsure of. Everything
is just out of grasp of clearly defining its limits and
extensions.
As these
and many more thoughts pass through your mind you become
aware of the light changing as the moon emerges from a
frothy cloud of deep purple. The moon is luminescent and you
can almost feel the magnetic energy of its pull moving
within you. You sense the resonance of the waters within
your being and the see them now as tides of time and change.
Ebbing and flowing in accord with the natural cycles of the
moon and the stars. You feel the interconnectedness of your
being and the life that is contained within the quickening
and potential of this space.
You sit
down and wafts of soft grey mist respond to the movement.
You close your eyes and soften your breath moving into a
deep contemplative state. As you sit quietly memories flood
through your mind. Pictures move like a slide show on your
inner screen and all the wishes and dreams you have
experienced in this lifetime bubble up to the surface.
This is your storehouse of subconscious. Some are
directly of your own creation and others have been colored
and changed by the co- mingled energies of the collective
consciousness. Some are useless day dreams and others hold
the potential for new and inventive action.
As these
images pass before you the urge to reach out and grasp one -
to hold it and feel its weight and strength in your hands
takes hold. The images begin to slow and one attracts your
attention. You gently reach out and are surprised at the
ease with which you were able to draw it to you. You make a
mental note of how its energy feels in your hands- and what
emotions it may stir within you. You seem able to see more
clearly what this image truly is and where the illusion of
the situation may have been at the time of the first
creation of this image. As you begin to give more attention
and definition of clarity to this image you see that it is
responding to this outpour. The color is now becoming a
golden yellow. Within its core are flecks of azure, violet
and deep purple. Each a spark of energy within- a seed of
growth- a possibility and potential for manifestation. The
energy forms more clearly into a sphere, the continuum of
all that is contained within and the connection with all
that is without. It glows and pulses within your hand with
life. A flood outward of golden yellow and the the sphere
opens in spirals of the seeds of light that were within.
Scattering like the seeds of the dandelion bulb as you blow
on it and grey strands are caught within the winds embrace.
You sit for a moment in the glow of this new birth and you
feel transformed and changed. Moved to a place of greater
understanding of how the Universe works and what is the
driving and compelling force of the creative urge for life.
You stand
and look once again upwards towards the moon. You now see
with clearer intent and the mysteries of her nature will
slowly reveal themselves as you continue to visit this realm
of dreams and potential. But, for now you must return
to the world of the physical. A mist of violet swirlings
moves about you and you feel a gentle descent. Slowly and
with great ease your feet touch down upon the damp soil of
Malkuth.
As you stand once
again at the place of your physical being, the swirling of
time and space encircle you, the violet color giving way to
the earthy colors of the physical realm. This is the receiving place of the combined energy of
all the spheres above, emanating downward into the Kingdom
of the Four – who find their strength in the return to the
One. You smell the earth upon which you make your home
and feel the soft breeze of the winds. You see the
silhouettes of the trees of the woods and hear the sounds of
life all around you. Stand for a moment in this place.
The woods and all they
contain gently fade from your sight and you begin the
descent back into your physical state of being and the room
and space in which you began this pathworking. Return to
awareness of the rhythm of your breath and the rise and fall
of your chest. Become aware of the physicality of where you
are sitting or laying… your body pressed against cushion,
chair or floor.
~ And when you are ready,
gently flutter your eyes open ~ |
