Kuan Yin journey
Psychospiritual Approaches


definition

All people will benefit from the healing journey with Kuan Yin. Kuan Yin has been worshiped as the Chinese Bodhisattva of Compassion by millions of people for thousands of years. She is known to be one of the most accessible entities; her name means, "She-Who-Hearkens-to-the-Cries-of-the-World". Individuals from all walks of life, from fisher-folk and Buddhist laymen to Taoist sages, venerate her as a goddess of mercy.
In Tibet, Kuan Yin is known as Tara. In Christian cultures she corresponds most closely with Mother Mary. She is called "Kwannon-sama" in Japan, and is as popular there as she is in China.
In response to the suffering throughout our planet, especially from the raging epidemics of AIDS, leukemia, and other terminal plagues, Kuan Yin offered the following journey into the Cauldron. It has been produced on audio cassette tape and is available for free to people with AIDS and leukemia, and to practitioners working with those diseases. (See notes at the back of this book for further information about the tape).
In this journey, you find yourself in an ancient landscape of peace and tranquility. There you will meet Kuan Yin to receive healing and guidance and have an opportunity to find a deeper understanding of your disease and the message it brings, as well as learn about your healing process.

Kuan Yin Journey
When you have completed the alchemy, greet Thoth and request assistance with your healing process. . . .
It is early evening and a nightingale appears, silhouetted against the sky. Follow as it leads the way to a bridge that connects to an island in the middle of a wide river. As the nightingale flies over the bridge, follow on foot and, as you step onto the bridge, you become aware that it is alive and you are walking on the curved backbone of a dragon. The dragon twists its head out of the water and looks at you as you cross on its back. Its eyes are luminous pools of a liquid color. As you look deeply into its eyes, this dragon is knowing you. All the aspects of who and what you are are received and reflected in its mirrorlike eyes. . . .
This dragon knows and accepts you without judgment, and gives its blessing as you step onto the island of Kuan Yin.
There is a feeling of ancient China here. As your senses awake to the delights of this garden, you can smell the air of a lush and fragrant summer evening.
As you move toward the center of the island, you see an open Chinese temple. A presence patiently waits for you, and as you walk toward the inward glade, you can see her pale, calm, luminous face. Her hair is caught up on her head with gold hair ornaments that make a tinkling sound when she moves. She is dressed in rich silk robes. She appears small. Loving, gentle, and welcoming, she greets you by placing a hand on her heart, then holding it out for your hand. She's delighted to be with you.
She looks at your face and your body, and you feel throughout your being her loving acceptance of who you are. She is able to see your true beauty unveiled and not clouded by the earthly realm. Kuan Yin begins to move her hands around and through your body, clearing and healing any dark places and filling every cell of your body with her love.
Any diseased cells cannot accept this bounty, and she picks them out very easily and places them in a bowl. They might look like black lumps of coal. As she removes them, you are able to study them from an objective view, and you feel your fears and self-doubts also depart until they are no longer a part of you. . . . Long pause
Follow Kuan Yin as she carries the bowl to the river's edge where the dragon awaits. . . . As she holds up the bowl, the dragon breathes the fire of wisdom, burning everything in the bowl quickly away. As you perceive the smoke rising to the sky and dissipating in the breeze, go within yourself and search for understanding. Kuan Yin is there in all compassion to help you heal yourself. She is there for you and she cherishes every part of your being. So be with yourself and Kuan Yin as you seek to know the changes you must make to complete this healing. . . . Long pause.
Kuan Yin now leads you to a pool. Take off the clothes you are wearing and step into the cool, clear water. She pours water over you from a vessel, cleansing you, and in this way you are reborn, clean and fresh. You feel a great joy and happiness in living. Kuan Yin shares this with you.
Kuan Yin gives you a gift, a token that is a protective amulet of a green color. She tells you to call her whenever you want. You can invite her presence by using the token that she has given you.
Spend the next few moments with Kuan Yin, continuing to receive her healing and further suggestions she might give you at this time.
When you feel complete, the nightingale flies over the dragon bridge and you follow.
Thoth is waiting on the other side. Recount your experience with him. . . .
Thoth will assist you back into your body. . . .
