Visualisation
Journey to the Upperworld
Take a deep breath and connect to your heartbeat. Relax your body by progressively tensing and relaxing your muscles, from head to foot, feeling the tension melt away. You might feel lighter and uplifted as you clear any resentments or worries from your heart with a deep exhale, letting them go, and inhaling you may feel your heart fill with blessings of healing love. Ask any spiritual allies you may have for guidance and protection, those known to you and those who are unknown and watching over you silently.
Visualize a tree in your mind, the tallest tree you have ever seen. Gaze up into it's mighty branches and see them fade away into eternity above you. Raise your arms over your head and stretch your potential. Great. Now lower your arms and walk around the massive trunk of this tree until you see a door in the side of this endless tree. This takes you in to your inner sanctuary, where you are most safe within yourself.
Once you orient yourself, or perform any purifying action you might be called to do, you find an appealing door in your sanctuary. It might be marked with a colour or a symbol of the upperworld, or just call to you with the energy of the realm above.
Open this door and feel the swirling winds inviting you upward. You might find a ladder, a mountain path upward, an elevator or some stairs. Ascend, allowing yourself to climb high into the vast expanses of the upperworld.
When you emerge into the light of this limitless place, you allow your eyes to adjust to the bright, shining, colourful majesty of the realm. You might notice patterns of light or movement, or fractals unfolding around you in the clouds.You might hear harmonious music or choirs singing. You might see machines and vehicles busy and sense that the lifestyle up here is a whirlwind of activity. Things might be intense and overwhelming at first. If you feel any anxiety you recognize it as a happy, nervous excitement and you are able to name it and step aside from it and your other feelings. You sense peace and freedom here. You feel connected and drawn in. You might feel inspired to travel to a great cathedral or island in the sky. You might find a mountain peak to observe your own life from. You might even choose to fly on the back of a great winged creature and take a tour of this brilliant land. Explore wherever your spirit calls you to go.
Allow yourself to journey until you encounter a celestial being, or find an object or scene that seems meant for you to examine. Allow yourself some time to spend here, contemplating the message that is for you.
When you are ready to return, give thanks for your experience. Go back the way you came, and climb down or descend by a ladder, stair, slide or elevator until you come to the portal to your sanctuary. Take a slow, calming breath and come into your sacred space again.
Here, give thanks to your protectors and guides and to the World Tree itself.
Leave your sanctuary through the door you entered by. Look at the roots of the Great World Tree sinking into the earth here, and dig your feet into the ground, earthing yourself. Feel the weight of your body on the ground and release any excess energy into the soil. Feel yourself in your body.
Remember where you are, wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you are ready, open your eyes.
Welcome back.
