Hello,
My beautiful soul.
Welcome to my meditation.
My name is Anamiha Upalkar.
And this meditation is for anyone who was ever made to feel like they're too much.
Before we begin,
I want you to know something.
If you've ever been told that you are too emotional,
Too intense,
Too sensitive,
Too passionate,
Too loud,
Too deep,
Or simply too much,
I want you to let that story go here.
You were never too much.
You were a fire in rooms that only knew how to handle dim lights.
You were depth in places that feared feelings.
And somewhere along the way,
You may have learned to shrink yourself just to make others comfortable.
This meditation is about remembering.
Remembering your power.
Remembering your softness.
Remembering that your sensitivity is not weakness.
Instead,
It is wisdom.
That your emotions are proof that you are alive,
Awake and capable of loving deeply.
So as you listen,
Allow yourself to take up space.
Again.
Allow yourself to breathe fully,
Feel fully,
And exist without apology.
The fire within you was never something to hide.
It was always something sacred.
And today,
You come home to it.
Let's begin.
Gently close your eyes and allow your body to soften into the space beneath you.
Let your breath deepen,
Each inhale expanding your chest like a quiet flame growing brighter.
And each exhale,
Releasing the weight of every moment you constricted yourself into something smaller.
Bring your awareness to your heart.
The place where every feeling has lived.
All your intensity,
Depth,
Every surge of emotion that once asked for space.
Feel the warmth of your heart.
Feel and see the glow that has always existed beneath every layer of control.
Every moment of restraint.
Let yourself feel it.
This warmth you feel begins to rise,
Like a small flame igniting.
Like fire remembering its nature.
Feel it spread through your chest,
Into your shoulders,
Down your arms.
Into your belly,
Your hips.
Your thighs down to your feet into your entire being.
This vial carries every part of you.
It carries your passion,
Your sensitivity,
Your voice,
Your desire to feel deeply,
Love deeply and live fully.
Let it move through you without containment.
Your breath feeds this fire.
Your presence expands it.
Your awareness allows it to take up space within you.
There is a rhythm here,
A natural,
Powerful rhythm of a being who experiences life in color,
In texture,
In depth.
Feel that truth in your body.
Every part of you that once felt overwhelming,
Every time your emotions rose like a wave all of it exists here as feel,
As brilliance,
As aliveness moving through form.
This fire within you holds intelligence.
It knows how to move,
How to express,
How to exist in its own fullness.
Allow yourself to rest inside that knowing.
Feel your spine lengthen slightly.
Feel your chest open and your presence expanding beyond the boundaries you once held yourself within.
Let go of the constriction and allow yourself to take up all the space you need.
Give yourself permission to exist fully.
As you do so,
You move as energy that was always meant to be felt.
Let that fire rise a little higher now through your throat,
Softening any place where your voice once hesitated.
Through your face,
Relaxing every place that learned to hold back expression.
Through the crown of your head like light meeting open sky.
Your entire being becomes this radiant living fire,
Steady,
Powerful,
Expansive.
There is nothing here to adjust,
Nothing here to contain,
Only energy moving as truth,
Only presence expressing as it was always designed to.
Stay here as this fire for a moment.
Breathe,
Feel,
Allow.
Let your body memorize the state of openness,
This permission to exist in full intensity.
And as you gently begin to return,
Carry this fire with you in your breath,
In your voice,
In the way you take up space in your own life.
Quiet knowing settles within you a deep embodied recognition that everything you are moves as power,
As presence,
As something entirely your own.
And this is something your body now remembers.
Something you return to with your breath,
With your awareness,
With the simple act of allowing yourself to take up space.
This fire stays with you,
Grounded in your chest,
Alive in your voice,
And present in the way you move through your life.
And as this meditation comes to an end.
I hope you leave here carrying a different truth about yourself.
You do not need to become smaller to be loved.
You do not need to silence your heart to belong.
And you do not need permission to step into the fullness of who you are.
Your sensitivity is sacred.
Your voice matters.
Your presence changes rooms simply because you are in them.
So walk forward gently but unapologetically.
Take your fire with you.
Take your softness with you.
Take every beautiful complex feeling part of yourself with you.
Because the world does not need a quieter version of you.
It needs the real version of you.
And little by little,
Breath by breath,
May you continue becoming someone who no longer abandons themselves just to be accepted by others.
You were never too much and you were always meant to shine.
Thank you so much for meditating with me today.
I hope you have a great day.
Namaste.
