Be The Alchemist: Overcome Self-Doubt & Fear

This is an advanced practice to help you transform self-doubt and fear into calmness, courage and power.
Through somatics and deep visualisation, you will be guided to meet difficult feelings directly, not to push them away, but to alchemize them. To reclaim the energy they have been holding back, and remember who you truly are.
This guided meditation is for you if you're overwhelmed, have been playing small, avoiding a difficult action, or are ready to face your fears.
Music and vocals were written and produced by Ayverie Laroë.

Welcome to Be The Alchemist. I'm Afri LaRoe and I'll be your guide on this journey within. Transforming self-doubt and fear into courage, Power, And wholeness. What we call fear is often just uncomfortableness. It's wearing a mask of something that keeps you hidden away in your comfort zone. Self-doubt is another sophisticated way to keep you small. When you allow discomfort, Fear loses its power. When you're in loving presence with your self-doubt, You're reminded of the truth. Ask yourself, What is an old story? And what are you ready to release? Remember, Fear is a signal, A call to action, And the path to your aliveness. So if you haven't already, Take a moment to find a comfortable position. And begin to unwind. Closing down your eyes when that feels right for you. Settle in. Taking a nice deep breath now. And a long, Extended exhale out. Using the breath as a guide. Moving you deeper into. The body and the mind. Sinking down into. Yourself. Moving deeper. Within. Deeper. With the breath. Softening your inner gaze and the space behind your eyes. And breathing into this area. And as you continue to breathe. Imagine in the great eye of your mind. You light a candle. See the flickering golden light of the flame. Notice how it's growing brighter. And on your next inhale, Breathing in its warmth. Into this space behind your eyes. Allow that warmth to move down your cheeks. Relaxing your eyelids down, Down even more now. Bringing in the warmth of the candle. With the breath and feeling that warmth beginning to spread. Down your face. Down your arm. And moving through your whole body. Imagine that a portal of light is being opened to you now. To travel through time and space. Through all dimensions of reality. This portal is yours and you can allow it to show up in any way that feels right for you. Once you see it, Feel it, Sense it in any way, I want you. To step. Through it. In this space, We shift your state. Your frequency from fear and doubt to peace. From discomfort. To power. Where in your life are you experiencing self-doubt? Ask yourself. Is there a place in my life that I'm playing small out of fear? Is there a difficult action that I've been avoiding? Is there a difficult decision I've been dreading? Where in my body? Am I experiencing fear? Doubt? Or uncomfortableness. You can release the story and move into sensation. Breathe into it. Taking a deep breath in. And how. Allow it to be. Immersing yourself in that sensation. Allow the intensity of it. To unfold. And notice how it responds with your being present with it. If you're feeling ready to do so. You can turn that intensity up higher. Feel that intensity spread. Igniting a fire within. Breathe into it that intensity you feel. Is your power. Feel it coming back to you, Surging through you, Through every nerve, Tendon, Ligament, And cell in your body. Reclaim it. Call back your power now. You are the sorceress, The magician, The alchemist of your own world. This is your. Remembrance. Continue to call back your power and feel it surging through you with every breath. And as you do, Feel, Sense, Or imagine a floating dark sphere. Kind of like an egg shape in front of you. And sending all that which doesn't serve you within it. Sending it with the breath. Filling it with old beliefs, Stories, Identities, Anything you're ready to let go of once and for all. Sending it out with the breath. You might see it as a texture or color. Or maybe you just have a sense of it. As it moves away from you and out into that dark orb. See it spinning. And notice as it begins to crack open. To reveal the light inside. Breathe in that light. Breathe in that truth. That this is your power. Breathing it in and sending your power through your body with the breath. Bask in it. Enjoy the peace it brings. And just let go. Feel the relief. The spaciousness. Enjoy it. This place is always available to you. As you just created it. And whenever you feel ready, You can slowly start to come back into the room. Taking your time to come back to full waking consciousness. Feeling the surface beneath you. Wiggling your fingers and toes If it feels good to do so, You can stretch, Move your body. And when you open your eyes, Waking up feeling refreshed and alert and better than before and from my heart to yours. Thank you. For journeying with me.
