Well hello there.
Welcome to Celestial Gems.
I'm Gem.
And I'll be your guide in this practice today.
When you are ready.
Please find a comfortable position.
You can lay down.
Or sit on the floor or chair.
As long as your body is comfortable and your spine is straight.
You can soften your gaze on a spot in the room or close your eyes.
Do what feels best for you.
Take a moment to settle in.
Wriggle about.
And find that comfy spot.
We're going to start today's practice by taking several breaths.
To begin.
Breathe out.
Huh.
.
.
Inhale through the nose.
As you draw in the air,
Imagine your belly as a balloon,
Slowly filling up with air.
Hold for three counts if you can.
And then exhale,
Gently pushing the air from the bottom of your belly all the way up through your chest and out your mouth holding at the end of your exhale for three.
We'll do this twice more.
Inhale,
Noticing the cool air move through your nostrils,
Down your chest,
All the way into your belly as it fills up.
Hold for three.
And then slowly exhale from the mouth.
Noticing any feelings of release.
Hold for three.
Final round.
Breathe in through the nose,
Observing the way the breath moves in and through your body,
Filling your belly up.
Hold for three.
And then breathe out,
Pushing the air from the bottom of your belly.
All the way up out your mouth,
And then hold for three.
Let's take a moment to allow the breath to return to its usual pace.
Notice any sensations or feelings that may have arisen.
Leo,
Ruled by the sun and associated with the fifth house,
Invites us to embrace our own radiance.
To stand out confidently and wholeheartedly in our own life.
The sun shines.
Because it's her nature.
She doesn't ask for permission.
She does not dim her light.
She does not compete.
She simply shines.
Within her warmth and glow,
We all have a chance to shine.
I would like you now.
To begin to visualize an orb above your head.
A warm golden sun glowing softly just above the top of your head.
This is your son.
She burns fiercely.
Above you.
Can you feel her presence?
If not.
.
.
That's okay.
It might be nice to try and imagine what it might feel like.
Strong.
Powerful.
Wondrous Imagine if you can.
Sensing her warmth.
Radiating above you.
Feeling the heat.
Imagine this move through your body.
From the top of your head.
Across your face.
This warmth radiates across your chest,
Your arms.
Stomach.
All the way down your legs to your feet.
Continue to observe a glowing light that surrounds you,
Embracing you.
Like warm morning sunlight resting gently on your skin,
She pours over you.
With each breath,
You draw in her light.
Deep breath in,
Either through your nose or mouth.
Focusing less on the breath itself.
But breathing in that light all the way.
Into your belly,
Through your body.
Pause at the end of that breath,
Even if it's just for a moment.
Feel the way the light swirls inside you.
Exhale,
Noticing the release.
You,
Like the sun,
Are capable of bringing warmth,
Creativity,
And light wherever you go.
Noticing now.
The way each breath.
Feels within your body.
How it energizes you.
Charges you.
If you can.
Imagine now.
Seeing yourself.
Glowing in a golden light.
Imagine feeling the sensations.
Warm.
Safe.
Cozy.
Encapsulated.
In this glowing awe.
You are the light.
You are the source.
Everything resides within you.
In this moment.
Where you are shining.
What dreams,
Ideas or creative sparks begin to emerge within you?
What is waiting to be expressed.
Stay here in these feelings and thoughts.
Enjoying the way each deep breath feels in your body.
Repeat after me.
Either out loud.
.
.
Or to yourself.
I am powerful.
I am creative.
I am confident.
I am powerful.
I am creative.
I am confident.
I am powerful.
I am creative.
I am confident.
Let's just take a moment.
To let these words settle.
Whatever feelings may have arisen.
Notice them.
Observe them.
Without change or judgment.
Just.
.
.
Gentle acknowledgment.
Reminding yourself in those moments where doubt begins to settle in.
That you are a powerful being.
Charged by the sun and creative energy,
You are a force.
Your light has always been there.
If you like,
You could use these feelings to charge your days.
Take a soft but deep breath in.
Holding at the top.
And then exhale.
Maybe with a nice gentle sigh.
Hmm.
.
.
When you are ready,
Begin to wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Slowly adding some movement into your body.
Maybe a nice big stretch.
Begin to notice the sounds around you.
And finally.
.
.
Open your eyes or begin to look around the room.
Thank you so much.
For practicing with me today.
I hope this practice has left you feeling energized.
Charged and confident.
Until we meet again.
Goodbye,
My celestial friend.
