Welcome to Awaken with Joey Today's meditation is an invitation to gently gather your energy back to your soul.
Note to close your heart.
But to remember that you are still here.
And you are worthy of your own presence.
So find a comfortable position.
And bring your awareness to the places where your body meets the surface beneath you.
Feel their support underneath you.
Notice that in this moment,
You are being held by something steady.
You don't have to earn this support.
You can simply allow yourself to rest.
Now gently bring your attention to your body.
Notice your forehead.
And let it soften.
Notice your eyes.
Allowing the muscles around them to relax.
And you can close your eyes if that feels safe.
And taking a slow gentle breath in And now.
.
.
Peel your jaw,
Release.
And your shoulders relaxing Feel your chest expanding.
With a gentle movement of your breath moving in and out of your body.
Without trying to change anything.
Just notice what is there.
Breathing and allowing the breath to create a little more space inside you.
And breathe out releasing any pressure.
To be anything other than who you are.
In this moment.
Taking another full breath.
And notice where you're holding tension.
Where you might be holding sadness.
Or uncertainty.
Whatever you notice.
Let it be here.
You don't have to push it away.
Just remember that you belong.
In the love that you're giving to.
Imagine all the energy you have been sending outward.
All the wandering,
The waiting.
They're hoping.
The analyzing.
With trying to feel close.
Just acknowledge the places where your energy has been going.
And with this acknowledgement.
Bring to mind the relationship the person.
Or the situation that has been occupying so much of your heart and mind.
Don't get attached to it.
Just bringing awareness to it.
With each breath.
Gently invite that energy back to yourself.
Imagine all of that energy as tiny threads of light extending outward from you.
With every inhale,
Become aware of your own presence.
And with every exhale allow a little more of your attention to settle back within you.
So as you imagine these threads of light.
Visualize them as branches.
Expanding out of your body into your life.
Imagine that.
Relationships.
The situation.
Imagine all those branches that expand.
A slide in your energy.
And now imagine that energy returning back to you.
As a warm golden light.
As if you were a magnet.
Attracting this light.
Your energy.
Back into you.
And this golden light gathers in your heart.
In your belly.
And the center of your body.
Feel yourself becoming more present within your own life.
Allowing this light to reach every part within you.
Just imagine your heart surrounded by that warm golden light.
And you can acknowledge what you desire.
Without making your entire sense of peace.
Dependent upon receiving it.
You may not be able to give yourself every kind of connection you long for.
But you are connecting back to yourself.
Bringing your energy back to yourself does not mean pretending you have no needs.
It means learning to honor those needs without losing sight of yourself.
While you wait for them to be met?
So just keep on visualizing the light coming back into you.
Recharging you.
Empowering you.
Filling you up like a vessel.
Feel that warmth expanding through you.
And reclaim your energy and your sense of self.
Just imagine that all the energy you have gathered back is resting peacefully within you.
Put it in your heart.
Feel it in your belly.
Feel it in the center of your body.
Let the golden light,
Your energy,
Settling into a gentle,
Steady glow.
Letting remind you that you can return to this place whenever you need to.
Whenever you feel you have.
Even too much.
Whenever you feel tired or empty.
Just allow this warm golden light to fill you back up to re-energize you Now bring your awareness back to your breathing.
Feeling the gentle movement of your chest rising and falling.
Feel the air in the room touching your skin.
And as you feel more connected deepen your breath allow a little movement to return to your body by wiggling your fingers and your toes And slowly as you feel ready,
Open your eyes.
Notice the space you are in Encourage this gentleness with you as you return to your day.
Allowing this awareness or the energy you brought back into your body and self to guide you through your decisions and your needs daily.
Your energies,
Your emotional world.
As you feel yourself back up.
With your own energy.
You will engage in life more empowered.
More certain,
And more peaceful.
