🌌 1. Shamanic Visualization – Animal Guide Journey (4 min)

🌀 Guided Journey:

• Prepare Participants:
  “Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. As you exhale, imagine you are in a vast, natural landscape—a forest, a desert, a mountain, wherever you feel safe.”
• Meet Your Animal Guide:
  “As you walk through this landscape, you notice an animal appearing in the distance. It could be anything—a wolf, a bird, a deer, or even something mythical. Observe its eyes, its movement. Notice how you feel in its presence.”
• Communication:
  “Approach your animal guide. It has a message for you. Maybe it’s a word, a feeling, or a symbol. What does it want you to know?”
• Return:
  “Thank your guide. Slowly, bring your awareness back to this room, carrying the message with you.”

🔹 Reflective Prompt:
“What animal appeared for you, and what message did it carry?”

🔥 2. Elemental Breathing – Connecting with Earth, Water, Fire, Air (4 min)

🌀 Breath and Visualization:

• Earth (Grounding):
  “Inhale deeply, feeling the weight of your body connecting to the earth. Imagine roots growing from your feet, anchoring you down.”
• Water (Flow):
  “With your next breath, imagine a gentle stream flowing through you, washing away tension and resistance.”
• Fire (Transformation):
  “Feel a warm, inner flame igniting in your belly, empowering and energizing you.”
• Air (Expansion):
  “Take a final deep breath, imagining your energy expanding outward like a gentle breeze.”

🌲 3. Nature Sound Immersion – Drumming or Natural Sounds (2 min)

🎵 Audio Experience:

• Play soft drumming sounds, ocean waves, or forest ambiance in the background.
• Encourage participants to notice how the sounds affect their body—heart rate, breathing, muscle tension.

🔹 Reflective Prompt:
“How did the sounds change your inner landscape? Did any memories or images arise?”

✨ 4. Creating a Sacred Object (Optional – 5 min)

🎨 Hands-On Activity:

• Ask participants to find a small object nearby—a stone, leaf, piece of jewelry—and hold it in their hands.
• Guide them to infuse it with an intention or a quality they wish to carry forward (like courage, peace, or clarity).
• This object becomes a “power object” they can keep as a reminder of the experience.

🔹 Reflective Prompt:
“What intention did you set for your sacred object, and how does it feel to hold it now?”
