Welcome.
Slow your breath.
Slow it down.
Relax your body.
Allow your mind to calm,
Allowing thoughts to drift by,
Not grabbing on.
Deepen the breath.
Relax.
Relax a bit more,
Releasing any tension,
Any tightness you're holding on to.
Soften your body.
Feel your feet connect to the earth.
And imagine or visualize roots growing from the soles of your feet,
Tethering yourself to Mother Nature,
Creating for you a sense of safety.
Today's meditation is a reminder of how powerful you are.
A reminder that you have an innate power within you,
An inner knowing,
And that you have the capacity to use this power to heal.
Now this power is not boastful.
It is not loud,
Nor does it attract attention.
This power that lives within you is soft.
It is steady.
It is quiet.
This power is knowing.
It is a wisdom that arises within you when you trust,
When you believe.
I am stronger than I think.
I recognize how far I have come.
I can call on my strength.
I can call on my creativity.
I can call upon my determination.
I am capable.
I am wise.
These are affirmations that help remind us of our power.
Rest here quietly for a few breaths and check in with the power that lives within you.
And maybe you sense this power.
And maybe not.
Either way is perfect.
For some of us,
This power has been hidden,
And it will take practice.
But you can imagine.
You can visualize.
You can sense this power.
And we pull it up from the depth of where it rests.
And we trust that it is there.
We believe.
We believe that each of us has this power within us.
Bring your focus,
Your awareness.
Bring your breath to this space,
Stoking your fire.
Bring the breath into the body.
And if still you are not feeling this fire within you,
Draw the breath into the heart space,
Or into the belly,
The solar plex,
And visualize a small flame burning within you.
Stoke this fire.
And allow this fire,
Your fire,
Your inner power,
To grow.
And we can use this inner fire,
This power,
To heal us.
Bring your awareness,
Your breath.
Visualize this flame growing brighter and brighter.
It brings with it a special energy,
One that is all-knowing,
Bringing to each cell what it needs.
And we can use this energy to bring it forth,
To let it grow,
To bring it forth,
To let it grow.
Trust.
Trust in your inner power.
Know that it is there.
It's time to trust in your inner wisdom,
To bring it forth,
To let it grow.
And we'll take a few breaths,
Stoking this fire.
Visualize this fire within you.
See it burning brightly.
Sense it.
Feel it.
Feel the warmth,
The energy.
Trust and believe.
And we'll begin to bring our awareness back,
Back to the moment,
Back to the light.
The place where your body is resting.
And drop your attention back into the feet.
And we are reminded that we have roots growing through the soles of our feet,
Reaching towards the Earth's core.
And begin to pull those roots back up.
And as you pull those roots back up,
You take with them a bit of Earth wisdom.
Bring your awareness back to the breath.
And before we come back to our days,
To our night,
Let's set an intention and place your hands onto your beautiful heart.
And let those hands rest just a bit heavy,
As if to give your heart a hug.
And let's set an intention to come back to that inner wisdom,
That inner power that lives within you.
Namaste.
