Take a few moments to sit comfortably and begin the guided meditation. Place your feet onto the

ground or recline on a bed. Let your muscles soften. Take several deep breaths and feel the tension

release. Allow the muscles around your eyes to relax.

Feel your breath exhale. Allow your chest to soften as the tension floats away. Feel the air around

the room against your skin.

Release the tension from your head and neck. Next feel your shoulders relax. Then your hips, your

legs, your feet and your toes.

Stay in this relaxed for a few moments feeling the tension flowing from your body like water down a

drain.

Out of the darkness, you see a figure slowly take shape. As it becomes clearer, you see that it is a

soldier, dressed like a warrior from ancient Greece. You study the soldier, seeing his helm, shield,

sword and spear. As you look closer, you see that the solider has been a terrible battle. His helm is

dented, his shield is almost cut in half, his sword is dull and notched. His tunic is bloody. You feel a

connection to this soldier, this warrior. You sense pain in your body, in your chest; your pain is

echoing his pain.

The soldier drops his shield and sword, for he is sore and weary. He removes his tunic and stands

there in just his loincloth. You see bruises and cuts on his body and terrible wound in his chest. You

wonder how this warrior can still be on his feet. Then you realize, it is through his will, his desire to

continue on, that is keeping him on his feet.

Slowly, his battered hands move towards his helm. You feel frightened, you do not want this man to

remove that helm, you do not want to see what is concealed beneath. You try to reach out to stop

him but you are frozen in place. All you can do is stare and shake your head no. His hands reach

his helm and he stares at you, he locks your gaze with his own. He removes his helm and you

almost faint the man, the warrior, is yourself. You are looking in a mirror.

With this realization, you come crashing into yourself. It is no longer an echo of pain, but the real

thing. You feel all the cuts and scrapes, the bruises and the awful pain in your chest, in your heart.

You stagger, and almost drop to your knees but you catch yourself and stand back upright.

As you stand up, you find yourself in a black cave. Before you is a monstrous gate guarded by the

largest beast you have ever seen. It is a huge, three headed hound. You realize it is Cerberus, the

guardian to the gates of Hades. You understand that you are in the Underworld, the glooms of

Hades. Cerberus sniffs you and backs to one side. The gate before you slowly opens and you hears

moans and screams coming from the other side.

Slowly, reluctantly, you start forward. You know that if you are in the Underworld and Cerberus is

letting you pass, you must be half dead already. As you cross the threshold, the gate swings shut

behind you with loud crash. There is only one way to go forward.

Ares turns and says to Athena Do you think so sister? Do you think he has what it takes?

Athena answers him Yes, I do!

A challenge then says Ares. A test. Let us see if he has the fire in him.

At this point, you see between the two Gods a black figure, twisted and deformed, hunched over andgrowling like a dog. They are each holding a chain, bound to one of its wrists; restraining this

monster.

Without notice, they let go of the chains. As they do so, this demented figure gives a loud scream,

like every damned soul in Hades rolled into one. With that shattering yell, it launches itself at you,

hands outstretched.

It tackles and throws you to the ground and you realize this is no joke. You are in the fight of your

life, maybe your last fight. It clasps its hands around your neck and applies pressure as it stares in to

your eyes. You see that this figure is a twisted version of yourself all of the negative things that

make you up, made into a being of darkness. As it chokes you, you feel your vision start to go gray,

you hear your heart pounding in your ears. Before your minds eye flashes all of the bad things youhave done; the hurts you have caused, the tears you have made others cry, the disappoints in

yourself. You think Why not let it end? Look at that, all that hurt, it is all my fault! You feel your will

start to cave, to let it happen; you feel the strength and life start to leave you.

Suddenly, a new picture flashes before you, then another, and another. You see the smiles you have

brought numerous people; you see the loyalty you have given others, the friend you have been; you

see the urge and desire within yourself to change, to grow, to become better than you are. It dawns

on you that yes, you may have done some horrible things but you have also done fantastic things as

well. And looming over it all is your desire to do better, be better!

You feel vitality pouring back in to your battered body, you break the choke hold around your neck.

With a sure of might, you take the attack to him. You start to pummel that dark figure, punching andkicking. You will not let the darkness within you triumph!! As you start to win out over your opponent,

you feel the hurts that you had, the cuts and bruises begin to fade and appear on your foes body.

With a mighty uppercut, you knock your adversary down and you stand panting over his prone body.

Ares says Well done. Use this to finish the job. With that, he tosses you his very own sword. You

catch the magnificent weapon and marvel at its beauty. Use it my son, strike true

With that, you plunge Ares sword into the heart of your enemy, feeling all of the self-hate, self-

loathing, self pity flow from you, through the blade and into its body. It screams and so do you. It is

screaming in agony and you are screaming at the release of pain. You look down at your dark self

and you see that it now bears the horrible wound in its chest.

Wonderingly, you look at your own and you see that your wound has closed. There is a red scar, but

the wound itself is closed and you feel your soul, your spirit, mending itself. The other hurts you had

suffered have almost faded, they are still tender, to be sure, but they are fading, they are healing.

You look down at your whimpering, dark self. Where you expected to feel anger and rage at him,

you feel only pity and sadness. You feel a tears well up in your eyes and fall upon your fallen enemy.

And you realize, he is your enemy no longer. With a breaking voice, you say to yourself I forgive

you. I forgive you.

You feel a lightness in your spirit that you have not felt in years. You feel yourself rising off the

ground. With a flash of light, you find yourself in a new courtyard. Where the first was lifeless and

dead, this one is full of life. The vines are alive and healthy, bursting with grapes. There is a

fountain, with pure sparkling water running through it, making a soothing, tinkling sound. Yo sense

that this is a the same courtyard. It has not changed you have. Its life is reflective of your new

sense of peace and self-forgiveness.Standing next to the fountain are Ares and Athena. They call you over to them.

Ares tells you I will not apologize for the harsh words I said to you they needed to be said. You

needed to realize those things about yourself. But, that has passed. You have shown yourself to be

my warrior that I knew you could be.

With that, Ares takes up a silver chalice and dips it into the waters of the fountain. With this water of

life, I wash away the hurts and fears you felt. Ares slowly pours the water over your head and it runs

down your body. You are baptized as my son, I forgive you as you have forgiven yourself. He sets

down the chalice and grabs you in a tight bear hug. You feel his love and light entering you. You

feel safe and secure, knowing that this powerful being loves you fully.

After a while, you hear slight cough. A strong, feminine voice says My turn. Ares lets you go and

steps back as Athena steps in front of you. She too takes up the chalice and fills it with water. She

says Child, you are ever in my thoughts. Long have I been concerned for you and hoping you would

find your way and not get lost. My hopes for you have been fulfilled. Welcome back, my warrior.

She slowly purs the chalice over your head, saying This water washes away your pain. None have

strayed so far that they cannot come back. I forgive you as you have forgiven yourself. I baptize you

as my son.

Athena then hugs you and it is as if all the good things in world were rolled in to one. You feel such a

sense of love and understanding. How could this being love someone like you? Because she can

and she does.

Athena steps back and says Child, we know you are not perfect, you are only human. We expect

you to stumble occasionally and that is alright. The wounds you have suffered were bad, because

they were self-inflicted. Know this, though, we have not healed you. You have healed yourself

through your strength. We were there for encouragement as we knew you had it in you.

Ares says Whenever you feel overburdened and feel the world is crushing you, take a moment to

recall this place we will be waiting for you. Do not fear to share your feelings. With that, Ares

smiles at you. You have had a rough night. Return to your realm now but know we are always

here.

You feel yourself starting to withdraw from this lovely place but you know you can always reach it.

Slowly, you feel yourself come back. You become aware of your body. You become aware of yoursurroundings. Take a deep breath and exhale. Deep breath and exhale. Once again, deep breath

and exhale and open your eyes.
