Imagine walking barefoot in a lush green meadow, where the soft breeze carries whispers of ancient wisdom. In the heart of this serene landscape stands the magnificent World Tree, its roots pulsating beneath your feet, connecting you to the earth. Its branches stretch skyward, inviting you to explore the mysteries within.
As you approach the Tree, you sense a call—an invitation to enter its trunk. What lies within is not just a journey, but a path of transformation, guiding you into the depths of your own soul.
Entering the World Tree
Take a deep breath and step inside the Tree's trunk. As you descend, the sounds of the outside world fade away. You feel the rich soil and the weight of the stones surrounding you, enveloping you in the comforting embrace of ancient energies.
As you go deeper, you discover an underground stream. The water sparkles in the low light, calling you to immerse yourself. Step into the stream and feel its coolness wash over you, carrying away anything you cannot bring back to the everyday world.

Pause for a moment. This is your chance to let go of burdens, doubts, and fears. Allow the stream to carry them away, preparing your spirit for the journey ahead. Embrace this cleansing process as it readies you for what comes next.
Journeying Down the Stream
As you move downstream, the sound of rushing water guides you toward a riverbank. Here, time seems to stand still; and as you step onto the bank, a majestic reindeer appears, its presence both powerful and calming.
The deer, your guide, invites you to follow it through the forest. This sacred journey together instills peace within you. Walking alongside the deer, you tap into the vibrant energy of the woodland, which is alive with history. Each step deepens your connection to the ancient wisdom held by the trees and creatures that surround you.
The Boat Awaits
After wandering through the forest, you arrive at a shore where a simple wooden boat awaits. It invites you to deeper waters—a journey into the unexplored realms of your soul.
Gently, you climb into the boat and take a seat, feeling its stability. Without oars or a visible means of propulsion, the boat glides forward, guided by an unseen force across the sea toward an enchanting island.
As you approach the shore, anticipation builds within you. The island promises new revelations and experiences waiting to unfold.
Meeting Elen of the Ways
Upon stepping off the boat, a narrow path leads you up the banks where Elen of the Ways awaits—an embodiment of wisdom and guidance. Her presence radiates warmth, inviting you to connect on a deep level.
As you approach Elen, ask the questions that linger in your heart. Listen intently as she shares her guidance for your next steps. In a beautiful gesture, touch your forehead to hers. This transfer of energy transcends words, allowing you to absorb vital wisdom.

In her eyes, you find reassurance. Your sacred agreement—the core of your existence—becomes crystal clear. This moment marks a rite of passage, a renewal of your commitment to be a force for the Divine in the world.
Embracing Your Purpose
The time is now. Say yes to stepping into your power and embracing your divine purpose. What we do contributes to the greater tapestry of life. As you reaffirm your commitment, you sense a shift within. The universe aligns with your intentions.
Elen gifts you an extraordinary token infused with her wisdom. Place this gift in your heart chakra to ensure it remains a part of you as you return to your everyday life.
Thank Elen for her generosity, knowing this farewell is not permanent. You can revisit this sacred space in your heart whenever you wish.
Retracing Your Steps
Taking the path back to the shore, you feel the rhythm of existence returning. Step into the boat once more, which now feels familiar and comforting. The journey back is different—more profound—as the memories of Elen and her teachings accompany you.
As you glide through the waters, reflect on the vivid experiences and insights you've gained. Each pulse of the boat reminds you of your ongoing transformation.
Upon returning to the riverbank, walk back through the forest, retracing the steps of your earlier journey. Embrace the beauty around you, knowing you carry the essence of these experiences within you.
Returning to the Roots
Arriving back at the stream, enter its cleansing waters yet again. Use this opportunity to wash away any lingering remains—anything that may hinder you as you reintegrate into daily life.
Climbing the roots that journey deep into the earth, you admire the resilience of the World Tree. Finally, you reach the trunk.
Step out of the Tree, bowing in gratitude for the guidance and insight you have received.
Closing Reflections
As you walk back through the green meadow, a profound sense of connection envelops you. Your experience has transformed you, and you return with a renewed awareness of life’s beauty.
Remember, you can return to the World Tree and the guidance of Elen of the Ways whenever you seek clarity. The path is always open, and your spirit remains eternally connected to this sacred journey.
Let these memories sustain you as you step back into your body, grounded and empowered. The world is a canvas, and your renewed commitment allows you to contribute to the divine tapestry of life.
Embrace your journey. Say yes to the adventure. May divine will be done.
