S.O.S. Advanced Open Inward Self-Connection Meditation with an Oracle Dyad Exercise #2:

OISI Open Inward Oracle Spread

Working with an Oracle: 

• You don’t need to create a fancy ritual unless that is your thing. Whether you are working with an oracle, a Tarot deck or looking at coffee grinds or tea leaves in a cup, you want to be in the mindset. 
• You already have established a good preparation process for Open Inward sessions. 
• Working with an oracle is no different! What should you do? The Self Connection Meditation Practice, of course! 
• Then, pick up your oracle and shuffle the cards while holding the intention for the reading. 
• In this case, you are reading yourself through your surrogate!

Open Inward Oracle Prep: 

• Shuffle thoroughly in whatever way you find comfortable until you intuitively know you and your deck are ready to proceed.
  • You might notice a change in your breathing or have a ‘knowing.’ 
• When I reach this point, I tap on the deck a few times with my fist, knocking gently on a quantum door.
• Then I softly breathe into my deck, whispering and affirming that I have 100% trust and faith in the oracle and the elemental forces being summoned by my very intention. 
• Then I hold the deck sideways and allow the deck to cut or fall open naturally.
  • I then put the cut portion on top and began pulling the cards from the top position.
  • Hold off on pulling cards until you are finished with each listening station.
    • After connecting to each listening station, pull a card from your oracle.
      • Use your intuition to read the energy presented and decide if you need to pull any supporting cards.
      • Leave the cards on your desk or flat surface in piles so that you can later identify their respective listening stations if you need to review them after you bring your Dyad partner back to an alert state.
        • Document your findings 

Merging the Open Inward process with an Oracle requires we keep things simple. We are grafting an Oracle onto the Open Inward mapping process. Each Listening Station’s unique properties become the intention of the Oracle. 

Preparation is Everything

I will drop you and your Dyad partner into a Zoom Breakout room! 

You will have 20 minutes each. I will let you know when it is time to switch roles – Go! 

Before you begin (and when you are done), remember to perform the Gassho 

• We are already within the sacred space of the Virtual Temple, so there is no need to activate another one
• Decided which one of you is going to be the #1 Sacred Witness
• Recite the Kannon Invocation

Kannon Invocation

Great Cosmic Mother

Who swiftly comes when called upon

Who hears the cries of the world

Who holds the gates of heaven open for all to enter

Who tirelessly offers mercy, patience, hope, love and compassion

Who fiercely protects

Bestow upon me your great wisdom

Through your heart, guide me to have trust and faith to understand humanity

and to brighten my light so that I may make a difference

So Be It

It is Done

Pro Tips:

• To get maximum results, remain present, hyper-focused and self-aware of your experiences.
• The S.O.S. should have a handy pen and paper or a mind map program open to ground any experiences and findings during the connection meditation practice. 
• The Surrogate/Recipient needs only focus on being open, relaxed and neutral, following the instructions given.
• If either of you should become distracted during the practice by your ‘monkey-mind’ thoughts, quickly acknowledge them, breathe, relax and reset your intention to return to your deliberate sensing awareness
• As the S.O.S., remain open to experiencing a subtle shift in your energy or breathing or a ‘knowing’ when it is time to transition from one listening station to the next

Surrogate/S.O.S. Script:

“We are going to use to become deeply centred in the Quantum Field.

Then we will do a set of hand positions, starting with resting your hands over your navel area, then on the sides of your head, resting your palms above your ears and then resting on your upper chest, ending with resting your hands on the top of your thighs.

With your hands on your thighs, I will ask you to remain silent as my surrogate while I repeat my common name four times loud, friendly, clear, and strong at the last hand position.

Let’s begin. I invite you to close your eyes, become quiet and focus on yourself.”

Dyad Session Closure Intention:

When you are done, remember to perform the Gassho 

• You intentionally break your connection to the sea of consciousness outside your consciousness. 
• You may have merged with energies during the session, so it is essential to break that connection.
  • It is critical to restoring your energy at this point intentionally.

Recite quietly or silently to yourselves:

“All consciousness, not my own, including spiritual energies, beings and souls that may have merged and connected to me during this session – you must leave my energy field now.”

“Conscious Higher Self and my Spirit Team, please clear my energy field now.”

Take a quick energy shower:

• In your mind, wash your energy field, every particle of the light of your being, with white, pink and green light throughout your entire being. 
• You intend to wash off all energy that does not belong to you.

Visualize while you silently recite:

“I restore my energy field with white, pink and green flowing light from the top down to the bottom of my energy field.

“Conscious Higher Self and my Spirit Team, please restore my energy field now.”

• Mindfully evaluate feelings of gratitude and appreciation for the work you have just done. 
• Acknowledge your Trust & Faith in the assistance you have received by silently saying a heartfelt Thank You to the unseen world of your Conscious Higher Self, your Spirit Team, Kannon, and Galactic Masters.
• Consciously affirm that you have received what you asked for and more.
• Now take a transition breath.

Silently Close the Temple: 

“My deepest gratitude to the unseen world of my Conscious Higher Self, my Spirit Team, Kannon, and the Galactic Masters. Thank you.”

Please Remember: 

1. When you have completed your Dyad exercise, end your session formally.
   1. Mindfully, face the East, go into your heart and silently express gratitude to Kannon and the energy of the Virtual Temple.
