Hello and welcome, Dragon Rider! Do you have a desire to connect with the dragons but can’t seem to communicate with them consistently and/or in meaningful ways? You may wonder why you haven’t yet established a firm connection with your primary Dragon Guardian yet, for instance.
Mine is letting me know that the missing ingredient is the imagination. So today, we are taking you on a journey to help you reclaim the power of your imagination so that you can activate the connection with your dragon or dragons. (Many of us work with a dozen or more.)
Still, your most important dragon is your Guardian. They refer to themselves as Primary. The primary Dragon Guardian is typically connected to your heart or solar plexus chakra. Some have two primaries, typically a male and a female. They may or may not be the same as your chakra dragons.
The Dragon Mountain
Imagine a mountain in another world with a large cave at the centre. Many tunnels bore through the mountain in a labyrinthine pattern. At the centre of the cave dwells your primary Dragon Guardian in a large crystal cavern by a sapphire blue underground lake. On the way to meet her (or him/them), you have to navigate the tunnels and face many challenges.
There are seven challenges resonating with each of the seven chakras. You get three turns at each of them. However, if you succeed the first time, you don’t have to repeat any of them. Though each of the seven challenges are of a similar nature, each time you repeat one, it becomes harder, with the third challenge being exponentially more difficult than the first.
Some of the challenges are riddles and some of them are about avoiding traps or temptations. There are also challenges that involve team work with the mysterious inhabitants of the mountain. Some of these inhabitants are like fairies and some are more like dwarves. Furthermore, you may encounter smaller dragons and other creatures such as griffins along the way. There may even be the odd angel or demon in the mountain. Mind how you go!
