Ariadne’s room
Created on 04/02/2009Before you read this, please go to Breaking the Walls and read “What makes us weak, can make us stronger”. It works together.
Now, thank you for coming back to your room in the Cliffhouse. I have a sense that your room has been waiting for you to come back, your presence is so appreciated here. I hope you can feel all the love and support and protection that this room has accumulated for you. It is warm and safe and has all the features you need today. Remember, it changes at your will, it accommodates you in the most universal way, it is the space of your transformation transforming itself constantly for you to experience what you need today. It can be filled with light, or it can get darker. You can close the blinds, you can change draperies, you can rearrange furniture in your room with the tip of your finger, everything is molded so easily to meet your needs, so you can be at peace and so you can rest a bit. Take a moment and take it in, you are inside your room, and something good and magical is about to happen…
Today is the first time we can invite a guest into your room. That’s why we call it Ariadne’s room today because she can visit you here. Your experience here is very different from everybody else's, because your connection with Ariadne is unique and is yours only. She becomes part of your space in the most loving, natural, real way so you can use the strength and guidance she offers you to free yourself from the crowded labyrinth of the world out there. The same way she helped the heroes before, with her magic thread and her clever wisdom and the simplicity of her assistance, she is going to guide you through today, back to yourself, back to the true ground of your existence so when you leave this room today, you will be made stronger by the same things that made you weak before.
Soon I will ask you to close your eyes. And when I do that I will ask you to feel the warm, magical, alive thread, a little fuzzy, but very strong, pleasant to touch, in your right hand. Ariadne will give you this thread so you can come home to your self. Just feel the sensation and notice how your heart responds to it, how it gets warm too, the space behind your chest, and how joy comes out of your heart and fills your being. You don’t have to try anything special, when I ask you to close your eyes, just feel the thread in your right hand, and feel it glowing, and let Ariadne do her work . Because when you open your eyes, things will be different.
Close your eyes now. Feel it…
Now you are back. Look around. The room is being transformed. Whatever you had in it before disappeared. It is a simple white country cottage now. From the far, far past. It is a place where you may have lived as a child with your grandmother, or a place you can imagine your grandmother would be in now. Ariadne is your grandmother now, the archetype, the old, wise, protective, unconditionally loving woman, with wrinkled hands and a warm smile, who is your spiritual blood and who will do everything to protect you. The house is white and empty, it is filled with sunlight and you can see that the paint is old and needs to be replaced in the ceiling. The house has not been tended to for a while and you can work your magic now and make it pretty, and renew it. Paint the walls and the ceiling with your imagination. Use any color but maybe it is better to keep it white, warm white. Look around and feel how you clean and enrich this space with your presence, and how grateful you grandmother is for that. It is the home of your ancestors, the shrine that has been abandoned for a while and you are here now, in the place your strength springs from internally and you reconnect with the source guided here by Ariadne’s thread. Stay here as long as you need, come here any time you want to, take as much strength, protection and guidance as you need.
When you leave your Cliffhouse room today and go back to the world, remember the magical gift that Ariadne gave you today, her thread to follow when you are lost. So whenever you find yourself in a situation that tries to overburden you, with people who intimidate you, who try to dominate you, make you feel small, insignificant, irrelevant, all you need to do is remember how you feel this thread in your right hand, touch it, hold it and it will give you strength to go through the most unhappy situations, remembering yourself, so what used to make you weak will definitely make you stronger. Just hold on to her thread and it will deliver you safely, and it will balance any situation for you.
And when your balance scale is tipped back to your self and the world follows, you change the balance for all of us.
Thank you. And thank you, Ariadne.
