Myths are ways for our personal unconscious to organize a functioning system to then integrate in waking life.

By now, you’ve hopefully started the personal myth. You are now ready to create your morning ritual.

If not, listen to the guided video in the first part with the myth (return to this process as needed throughout the coming months as your personal myth deepens):

*Before the next step, Download “Personal Myth” and only fill in UNTIL you do not have an answer. As soon as you have a stopping point because you do not have an answer, that is where you stop filling in any information.

Bring a pen or writing utensil with you and prepare to write a letter to Eros.

Please follow the steps for your morning ritual:

Create a space where you have 15 minutes in the morning that is private and sacred to you (think of a place you can speak out loud and feel comfortable expressing your voice)

Read your customized myth out loud and notice what sensations (hot, cold, tight, sharp, expansive, etc.) or emotions (sad, mad, glad, excited, scared)

At the stopping point, read what is the next fillable section. Here is where you ask for Eros to support you during your sleep.

Write to Eros inviting him into your sleep and asking what is missing in your personal myth (your first stopping point).

*I like to ask Eros to make his presence known to me during my morning ritual in addition.

Example: Dear Eros,

Write Date on letter as you’ll be storing these letters in the future in a folder.

My intention is to meet you in my dreams and experience what it is like to overcome trauma internally and be restored to pleasure while sleeping. I understand that each night may not provide connection to you during sleep, although asking for support in the following ways.

Please bring me a synchronicity that will restore my faith in the experience of true love between lovers that is rooted in devotion.

I look forward to meeting you during sleep,

Marilyn

**As you can imagine, this letter will continue to expand and change as Eros guides you in sleep

Example: Eros will provide a synchronicity, you’ll be able to fill in the next part of the myth, and then revise your letter to Eros or write a new letter.

Setting your intention in the morning:

Set timer for 5-15 minutes

Meditate and the only intention is to return to your breath and focus on your breath (notice the sensations and emotions)

Read the myth out loud

Read the letter to Eros out loud

Have a place to store the letter and myth where you can return to it again for the next morning ritual

Once your receive the answer to the next part of the myth, please have a folder where you can store your original myth with your first written letter to Eros. Meaning, you’ll complete the myth’s next fillable part by opening the document again, printing it out, and writing a new letter to Eros on the back of the 2nd printed myth.
