Akashic Records Meditation
Jan 28th
Taking several deep breaths, in and out using the nose only, allow yourself to relax even further and to let go of all worries and concerns.
Bring all of your attention to the here and now, and truly focus on what you are doing.
Picture a golden door before you. Make it as firm as possible, perhaps running your hands along the surface. Taking note of all you can see. Step through the door when you are ready.
We emerge on a cliffs edge overlooking the sea and it is night time. There is a strong breeze rusting the grass beneath our feet. We move along the cliffs edge, feeling the earth beneath our feet, the wind on our face. There is a sense of expectancy in the air.
We shortly come to a set of steps leading down to a beach and as we wander down we relax and let go even further.
The sand is soft beneath our feet and we wander on to the edge of the sea and allow the water to play between our toes.
There is a line of golden thread here and we pick it up, and hold it between our fingers. The thread is light but incredibly strong and we realise that we are to follow it. The line seems to lead out to sea…but we do not think we can go that way. As we look more closely we notice something odd, there seems to be a break in the light ahead of us. And as we focus on this discrepancy, we become aware of a set of glass steps leading up into the sky and the thread seems to follow them.
We marshal our courage and step up on to the stairs and follow them higher and higher into the sky, still following the thread. We keep moving further and further, and the beach and the sea gradually become smaller beneath us.
We soon realise we are very high above the planet, still following the thread. There are many stars and lights around us. We begin to make our planets and their moons in the distance, as we continue to move higher and higher, ascending very lightly.
We may even begin to pick up a sound all around, which seems to ebb and flow.
Gradually we become aware of a vast pinprick of light ahead of us, and with renewed determination at having seen our goal, we increase our pace, still following the thread.
The light grows brighter and brighter as we approach… and gradually takes on shape… the shape of a massive cathedral of light.
Shortly we emerge before the doors of the Hall of Records… and we are met by a guide. The guide insists that we change our clothing here, and we are given a new robe to wear and gold or silver sandals for our feet. The guide asks each of us for our name and we willingly give it.
The guide then leads us on towards the main doors of the Hall. Take note of the symbol above the door, for it is your key to returning here.
We enter the building… which is very calm and quiet. There are corridors and paths leading in every direction, and we pass many different rooms. There are books and records everywhere we look, and we almost sense many different beings moving around us. All of human history is recorded here… and perhaps next time you may come and investigate anything you wish to know more about. However, this time we are here to look at ourselves.
We eventually come to a door, and the guide ushers us in to the room beyond. The room is fairly empty apart from a plinth in the far corner of the room. Upon this plinth is a massive book, which is lit from above by a beam of light. This is the record of your existence on this planet… if you dare approach and learn.
Upon the book is written your name. Take a careful look at the book. What does it look like? Are there any symbols? What is it made of??
You can look at any part of your life… past, present, future… or perhaps you would be guided by the book itself. Think of what it is you would like to know or see… and as you do the book seems to open by itself and turn to a particular page. Look closely at this page. What can you see? What is written here? Are they any pictures? Take your time to flick through the book.
…….when you are done, you turn to your guide and he ushers you towards another door, leading to an adjoining room. There are two chairs here and your guide instructs you to sit in one. The other chair is empty… for the moment. You hear a bell like sound and the air in front of you seems to shimmer. A beam of light rushes down from the ceiling and enfolds the chair opposite you… and you feel peace and utmost calm enter the room. The light seems to resolve itself into the form of a being… the master you are currently working with in this incarnation.
You may ask them any question… or simply ask for their advice and guidance. You may ask them about what you have seen and read in the book. Listen closely to all that is said to you.
…..when all that needs to be said has been uttered, the being in front disperses once more into light, which approaches you and surrounds you… and you feel blessed.
And then the light disperses once more….
Your guide appears once more, and tells you it is time to leave. He guides you slowly back towards the main door. At the door, your guide gives you a gift to take with you.
You leave the Hall and head back towards the steps, and begin to make your descent.
You move back down the stairs, following the thread, slowly moving back towards the beach. Eventually you step off of the stairs, and release the thread. You turn and notice the stairs have disappeared once more.
The moon has risen and shines its light down upon you and the sea before you. You may swim or simply walk along the beach in the moonlight.
Now it is time to return and you make your way back to the stairs, heading back up on to the cliffs edge. You make your way back to door, step through and return to the room, here and now.
Flame Meditation
Jan 23rd
Become aware of the Flame in the centre of the room and allow yourself to focus all of your attention upon it. Be aware of the heat and light radiating out from the light. Watch how the light moves and sways. Allow the light to bring greater relaxation.
Now gently close your eyes and bring the flame within your minds eye. Allow this light to expand outwards and grow large enough to step into.
When you are ready step into the flame and allow it to enfold you…
You step forth into a golden landscape which is very warm and bright. You feel encouraged and strengthened just looking at the place.
Allow the light and the warmth to flood through your being.
When you are ready let us call upon the Archangel Michael, whose name means ‘like unto god’. Michael appears as towering archangel with large outstretched wings and is wearing light armour. In his right hand he holds aloft a flaming sword which can be used to cut away negativity.
Michael’s colours are fiery red flecked with emerald.
Step forward and allow Michael to encompass you within his wings and sphere of influence.
Michael uses his sword to cut away any negative ties we no longer need. In this way we can be truly free. Allow Michael to work his way round your being removing anything that is holding us back from being who we are.
Michael can also provide us with strength, determination and protection… and you find all these qualities pouring into your being now.
Michael then stops back. He offers you his blue cloak of protection and we gratefully place it all around us.
He then presents us with a golden ball of fiery energy and and we place this within our being wherever we feel we need it most.
We then call upon Djinn, the King of the Element of Fire who appears now before us. Small flames flicker all around him. Djinn can help to develop our will power and give us greater contact with our higher selves. He places his hands on either sides of our heads and we feel heat and light flowing into our beings.
When he is done, he steps back and gives us a gift. Something that will help us connect with the element of fire.
We now call upon the Salamanders, the Elementals of Fire, who appear like small dragons and swirl around us. They can help us unleash our creativity and be who we truly are supposed to be. They can also help in releasing dis-ease from within us.
The salamanders begin to swirl faster and faster around us, and we feel ourselves being uplifted and changed.
The light begins to burn brighter and brighter all around… so bright we can barely see but we allow this process to take place….
Gradually the light begins to disperse… and when we are able to see clearly once again… we become aware of a glorious waterfall before us. We step underneath the water and allow it to cool and refresh us.
We place Michael’s blue robe of protection round our shoulders once again… and make our way from the waterfall to a brightly glowing doorway in the distance.
We step through the door and come fully back to our own time and space.
Inner Guide Meditation
Jan 22nd
Below you will find a meditation to connect with your Guides. It begins with energising and healing using the colours of the rainbow. This will also cleanse and gently balance your chakras preparing you for the journey ahead.
The room about you begins to fade from view…. Before you stands a column of fiery red light. Step forward into this column and allow it to energise and charge you.
Keep moving… before you now is a column of bright orange light which you step into… feel the orange light flowing through you increasing your creativity and connection with all life.
Step forward now and into the next column, which is of sunny yellow light… Here your divine will and joy in life is strengthened and renewed.
Move on now to a column of emerald green light which opens up your heart to more joy and happiness.
Next we step into a column of lapis blue light… feel this light coursing through and healing you… enabling you to speak your soul’s wisdom.
We next step into a column of deep indigo light… here we learn to sense the truths behind reality… to connect with all that is…
Finally we come before a column of bright white light… here we are healed and made whole on the soul level… feel this light wrapping around and through you as you are drawn down….
A scene begins to form in your mind. You hear the sound of water, of birds flying in the air and you begin to feel the warmth of the sun upon you. A soft breeze caresses your face.
You look around you and see that you are in a small, circular garden. Surrounding the garden are stately oaks, their branches extended as if protecting you. Breathe in the air; allow relaxation to flood through you.
This is your haven, your place of peace. There is a stone seat before you, seemingly carved out of the Earth. Take your seat… feel yourself connecting to the ground beneath you.
As you look around you notice a path that leads down from a distant mountain. The path is lined with stones of every colour and kind.
At the opposite side of the garden, you see this path continue. It leads down to a distant valley where you can see your present home.
You understand that you are at a plateau, an intersection of time and space. Here you can just ‘be’ in the eternal present.
As you sit upon your chair, you see up the path towards the mountain a small golden light, bobbing its way down. It floats its way down towards your sanctuary.
Its light is soft and gentle. As it reaches the outer edge of your haven it stops, a large pulsating crystalline light.
You watch, waiting, but it does not move. Then you realise it seeks your permission to enter. Nothing can enter without your permission.
You slowly stand and take a step forward. You nod your head, acknowledging the light and allowing it to enter, which it does.
The light shimmers. Soft streams of gold stream forth from it, and it begins to unfold. You soon realise that something or someone is inside. Then you see before you a wondrous being! See it. Know that it is real.
Take note of all you experience, see, feel, hear, and smell. Do you feel a touch or tingle in any particular part of your being? Is the being male or female? Trust.
Speak to the being. Ask its name. What is its purpose and why is it with you? How can you work more closely with it? Let the answers come. Ask how best to call on it in the future. Spend some time with this wondrous being….
Now bring the conversation to an end. Ask your guide to verify its reality, perhaps with something that will happen in the near future or some information you need to be aware of. Ask it for a touch, tingle or sensation in your body so that you know they are around.
Thank your guide for coming. The golden light folds up once again around your guide; send it off with thoughts of love.
Here in this sanctuary you can invite your guides into your awareness, one by one.
The garden slowly begins to fade…. And you become again once again of the chair you are sitting on….
