Elves of Light are very similar to angelic beings as you’ll discover in this next journey.
I have always been drawn to them both because of my strong connection to the angelic realm but I also have vivid soul memories of their realms.
The one we will visit in this next journey is from one of these soul memories, and that I have visited many times since.
As you journey there you might even have soul memories yourself or recognize some of these places and feel like you’ve been there before.
It’s not uncommon that some of us have lived lifetimes in those realms many years ago or that it reflects another realm or star system you have lived in.
This might be why you feel a sense of recognition or excitement when seeing or hearing anything related to them.
There are many different Elves and Elven realms, and I encourage you to explore them for yourself on your personal meditation journeys.
The realm of Lothlorien, (also portrayed in Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings”) is also well worth a visit.. You will be surprised at what wonders you will discover there that are not mentioned in his stories.. Maybe because he wanted you to discover it for yourself.
The Elven Realms are so beautiful that many who visit do not wish to leave. Both because of the ethereal beauty but also because it might feel like home to you.
This is why you must be well prepared and bring along your faery guide. You can always go back there whenever you wish, but it is not advisable to spend too much time in astra travel in one sitting as you can feel very disoriented and light headed afterwards. Remember that you are meant to be in this physical realm right now and can still visit there when you feel the need.
If you should feel disoriented upon coming back, do something afterward that will remind you of your physical body, like eating, drinking or stretching. A grounding stone like smoky quartz will also help you come “back down to earth.”
I also suggest you bring along a gift on this journey as we will be encountering the higher faery beings and the Elven Queen of Light. This is not obligatory but you will see that it is much appreciated, and almost expected, since you will be asking their help and you will want to offer something in return.
Unlike Angelic beings, faeries can refuse your help when asked. They have the free will of choice and will only agree if they feel respected and know your motives are pure and true.
This small token can be a crystal or wand or a small shell or painted rock. You will gift her the essence of the object while the physical part will remain in your hand.
So get comfortable and make sure you have 25-30 minutes undisturbed.
There is nothing worse than being jolted out of the astral realm by a phone call or your kids bursting into the room…
Remember that if you feel the need to come back quickly for some urgent reason and don’t want to have to retrace your steps, just clap your hands three times and repeat “I am home” three times as well. This will bring you back to the physical realm in an instant.
So sit back, enjoy, and don’t forget to keep all your senses alert and your heart and mind wide open.

Wasn’t that an amazing experience?
Don’t worry if you felt, heard, or saw things differently than I describe in the mediation. Everyone will experience this differently and each person’s journey can vary depending on where you soul– or the faeries — lead you.
I’d love to hear your experience in our Facebook group!
Now in the next lesson we will begin to draw and paint our journey. Your experience might have been very different from mine, so feel free to adapt it to your own.
If you don’t have time to jump into this next project right away, you can also write it down so that you don’t forget the details. This will help you remember it more vividly when you paint it with me.
