(Wait a few sec. here)
Sit up and notice that, just like the last time you were here, something is cooking on the fire. It smells wonderful, but this time a small earthen cup has been lain out for you. Beside the cup is a note that says: Healing Drink: good for what ails you. Pick up the cup and see that it is filled with a glowing fluid.
What color is it?
Wait a few sec.
Remember the color.
Curious and thirsty you lift the cup to your lips and, before you realize it, you've emptied the cup.
The liquid spreads thru your body slowly. Slowly.....And then you realize that one part of your body is warmer than any other part of your body. It's as if the liquid in the cup had moved to just this one part of your body and is now warming that part up.
What part of your body is the liquid effecting?Wait a few sec.
Remember the answer.
Put your hand or hands on this part of your body for a moment. Feel the warmth there. Know that you are healing from this second on.
Just as you did last week you see a small bundle of sage at your feet and know that you are supposed to throw it onto the fire. You pick it up, toss it into the flames and stand up as the smoke rises before you. Then you hold out your arms and turn in the wafting smoke letting the scent of sweet white sage enfold you.
As you finish turning, you realize that the torches are still lit and that the shelves you noticed last week are still there. You walk to one of the shelves and see several gemstones lining one. There are seven stones on one shelf: black, green, yellow, purple, pink, blue, and white. They are all lovely but one glows a little more than the others and really attracts your attention.
Which stone calls to you?
Wait a few sec. here.
Pick up that stone and hold it to your third eye. That's the spot just above and between your eyes. For a second, as the stone touches your skin, one of your senses more than any of the others seems strongest.
Is it scent, hearing, touching, seeing, tasting, or feeling?
Remember which sense it is.
Keep the rock with you now, as you move to the cave's entrance. There is no mirror there this time. But some leaves are hanging down in front of the entrance.
What kind of leaves are they?
Remember this.
You duck under the leaves and look out of the cave.
What time of day is it?
Remember this.
What season is it?
Remember this.
Now step out into the opening, must beyond the hanging leaves and look around. You are surprised to see that you are on a hill, that the cave is actually cut into the root system of a huge tree. You look up and up but cannot see the top of the tree. You turn and before are four paths. Each path goes in a different direction and, as you follow the path with your eyes you actually see the landscape change. One path, made of stones the color of blue leads to the sea, another path lined with white leads to snow capped mountains, another path is lined with leaves of all different colors and leads to a huge wild forest, and the last path, made of beach sand, leads a desert. From here you can walk any one of those four directional paths and reach the realm safely and securely. One of the paths seems brighter than the others, as if it is calling to you. It seems more familiar.
Which path summons you?
Remember this.
Another of the paths seems darker and somehow frightening. You have a hard time even looking at this path. Which path is darker?
Now take one last look around then go back into the cave. The leaves fall back into place behind you. The scent of sage once more fills you with ease and relaxation. Return to the sleeping bag, lie down, and close your eyes. Wait for a count of ten then wiggle your toes and stretch.
Go eat. Jog. Do your journal work. Eat something.
In this journey you gathered a lot of material about yourself. The color of the fluid in the cup was what you need more of. The color of the stone you picked is the energy that attracts you. The body part that the drink effected needs attention or healing. The sense that activated was your strongest spiritual sense, best for journeys and psychic work. The tree is one of your medicine helpers. The time of day is where you are at right now on the wheel of life. The path that was bright is the work of your soul calling you. And the path that was dark is the work you have been refusing to do; your fears and areas where you are stuck.
With this information you can research what the different things mean, the tree, colors, direction, etc, and discover where you are in life and what you need to do to get further along on the path of your life's quest.
A very simple exercise delivered all this information into your hands and you needed no one and nothing, but your own mind and an openness to receive. That is empowerment!
