🌳🍎A Place of Forgiveness: a Lenten Meditation
I just did a shamanic journey that brought me to a sort of cavern of forgiveness. I thought I would share in case you want to use what came in as a guided meditation. It was very Lenten! (You could read this aloud and record yourself, to use in meditation.)
Here’s how it went:
After setting intentions and protections, my Guides came in and made markings on me in ash, an old symbol of repentance.
I was guided to a sacred tree, where I entered into the Middle World. I was led to a boat, which carried me down a river, to a spot where a group of guides encircled another tree.
They invited me to that second tree, which opened into a small dirt cavern, almost a burrow, which was lit up in peachy gold/orange light. It felt very safe.
In the middle of the cavern was a clay jar. I sense I was to release into the jar all the mistakes, harms to self and others, regrets, guilt and sorrow, that I still carry around. I named them out loud as I placed them in the jar.
Then there was oil in the jar, and I knew to anoint myself with this sacred oil. Then I began to pray. What came through was the Ho’oponopono prayer of forgiveness:
I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
I thank you.
I love you.
I repeated that until it felt complete. (You can use a mala, which has 108 beads, for this if you like.) The jar was empty, released to God.
I exited the cavern and thanked the Guides, who held and protected the space. They led me back to the boat, which traveled up the river to the original tree, where I met my main Guide.
I returned to current time and space. I called in angelic ultraviolet light to pour down to clear and seal my field. I thanked the guides.
It’s time to let go of all the stuff that doesn’t serve us anymore! Give it a try and let me know how you do.
🎥This original painting by Ford Ruthling is called “Garden of Eden.”
It says,
T’was of this tree
the serpant [sic] - that
luscious fruit did gather
Adam & Eve both did
receive the thing that proved so bitter.”
