Guided Meditation: Meeting Hades

Take a moment to make yourself comfortable. Stand in a comfortable position, or sit on the
ground and adjust until you feel content and relaxed. Take a deep breath in and exhale as you
close your eyes. Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.
While you continue to breathe deeply, allow your body to relax, releasing the tension
from your head and shoulders, from your arms and hands, from your chest and torso, and finally from your legs and feet. Allow that tension to flow away from your body as you relax into your position as you continue to breathe slowly and evenly.
As you relax, feel the mists surround you, filling every corner.  Feel the mists as they approach you and envelop you. In your mind’s eye, see the land where Helios never shines and night is forever spread.  Look around you and see that you are not alone, but instead surrounded by your ancestors, who are there to support your endeavors.
Breathe deeply, and feel the rich soil beneath your feet, full of precious materials. From above, there is no sunshine, only the cool, calming mists.
When you’re ready, feel yourself step forward, out of the mists and into the lands of the dead.
See the ancestors surrounding you smile lightly, then part, revealing a path in front of you. Follow this path through the dimly lit lands. Follow your path into the realm of Hades. As you walk deeper inside, you see a dark figure, waiting patiently for you to approach. This is Hades, King of the underworld and the rich soil above. Hades approaches you, welcoming you to this place. Speak to him. Ask him to teach you his secrets. The god looks at you and extends his hand to you. Take his hand and follow him through the lands toward the place where his secrets are hidden. Listen to his words, and let him show you his mysteries. Listen to his message, meant for your ears only, and follow his words.
It is now time to return to our realm. Let Hades guide you back to the entrance of the
His realm, watching the signs along the way so you can return to him again. Thank Hades for meeting you at this place, and for providing you guidance along this path and listen to any
parting message he has for you.
As he turns to walk away, see your path returning into the mists. Follow the trail, back to
your ancestors. Take a deep breath and step into the plant, feeling the cool soil below and cool mists above. Take another breath and as you exhale, feel the energies begin to
release, returning you to the mundane. Take another breath and find yourself back in your own body, relaxed and comfortable. Wiggle your toes and fingers. Take a moment to settle in, and then open your eyes.
