Hello,
Beautiful souls.
Welcome to your guided meditation.
My name is Tasha.
Thank you for allowing me to guide you today.
I'm recording this meditation from the sacred island of Bali,
Also known as the island of the gods.
Right beside me is a sacred Balinese waterfall,
And you may hear the sound of that flowing water in the background as we move through this meditation together.
In Balinese spiritual tradition,
Water is considered holy and is used in purification known as Melakot,
Where people enter sacred water to cleanse the body,
Mind,
And spirit.
So as you listen,
Allow the sound of this waterfall to become a part of your experience.
Imagine the water washing through your energy field,
Cleansing,
Clearing,
Renewing.
And just know that today we will work with two powerful elements,
Water,
Which purifies and releases,
And fire,
Which awakens your life force and inner power.
Water will help you release what no longer belongs to you,
And the fire will ignite the truth and creative energy already living inside of you.
So take a moment to settle into your seat,
And if you're lying down,
Get comfortable in whatever way feels most supportive for your body.
Slowly,
Allow the ground beneath you to fully hold you,
To fully relax you,
And feel into the earth as a steady,
Reliable support.
Gently close your eyes and take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose.
Push it all the way down your core and out your pelvis into the earth to be transmuted back into love.
One more time,
And together,
Slow,
Deep breath in through your nose.
Let it travel down through your throat,
Your chest,
Your heart,
Your belly,
And exhale it out through the bottom of your body.
Continue doing that another time,
Slow,
Unforced,
Allowing.
And as you exhale,
Allow your jaw to unclench,
Allow your shoulders to drop,
Let your hips settle in a little bit deeper,
And allow the sound of the sacred waterfall behind my voice to support you.
Let the steady rhythm of the water remind your body that energy is meant to flow.
Nothing needs to be forced here today,
Nothing needs to be held tightly.
Everything can move,
Everything can soften.
There is nothing else that needs your attention right now.
Nothing else you need to do.
Just allow yourself this sacred time to go inward and begin affirming to your body,
It is safe to be here.
It is safe to soften.
It is safe to be present in my body.
Now,
Draw your attention to your root chakra at the base of your spine where your body meets the earth.
No effort is needed here,
Just awareness.
Feel the surface beneath you,
Steady,
Solid,
Supportive.
Resourceful.
Notice the internal sensation of you being supported.
The place inside your body where it is known that you're held.
And as you breathe here,
Imagine the sound of the waterfall continuing to flow nearby,
Water moving,
Earth supporting,
Your body resting safely between these natural forces.
Let us take a few slow,
Deep breaths in,
Allowing this sense of safety and connection to deepen.
And as you do,
Let your body receive these truths.
I belong here.
I am supported here.
I do not need to make myself smaller to belong.
I do not need to quiet my truth.
I do not need to dim my presence.
I am that I am.
I am safe as I am.
Imagine these truths gently filling in any cracks in your foundation.
Because when the foundation feels steady and supported,
The rest of your system can soften and open naturally.
Now imagine yourself sitting here beside this sacred waterfall in Bali.
The air is warm.
The jungle is alive.
And ahead of you,
The waterfall cascades over ancient stone that has been here for centuries.
This water has moved through this land for generations.
In Bali,
Sacred water is used for purification,
To wash away old energy,
To move stagnant energy,
To restore balance.
And I invite you to slowly imagine yourself stepping beneath this sacred waterfall,
Feeling the water flowing over the crown of your head,
Cool,
Clear,
Alive.
Allow it to wash over your mind,
Your throat,
Your heart,
Your belly,
Your legs,
Releasing all tension,
Releasing all heaviness,
Releasing old emotional energy that your body no longer needs to carry.
The water carries it back into the earth to be transformed and transmuted back into love.
Through the air we breathe,
Through the food we eat,
Through the water we drink,
Love.
Silently repeat after me,
I release what no longer belongs to me.
I allow myself to be renewed.
I release,
I release,
I release.
From this place of safety and cleansing,
Your body now knows it is safe to generate warmth from within.
So now draw your awareness to your lower belly,
The space just above your pelvis and below your navel,
Also known as your sacral chakra.
This is your womb space,
The center of your creative fire,
Your instinctual vitality,
Your life force.
If it feels supportive,
You can place both hands here and begin breathing directly into this space.
With each inhale,
Feel the belly gently expanding.
And with each exhale,
Softly draw the belly inward toward the spine,
Releasing everything.
Inhale,
Expand.
Exhale,
Gently contract.
With each new inhale,
Imagine a small ember forming in your lower belly,
A warm,
Glowing orange spark.
And with your next inhale,
Allow that spark to ignite into a flame.
And with every inhale after that,
Watch this flame grow stronger,
Steadier,
Warmer.
Now notice something very beautiful.
Even though you are standing beneath this waterfall,
The water does not extinguish your fire.
Instead,
It protects it,
Balances it,
Strengthens it.
Your fire grows steady and strong.
Feel into this fire.
Feel the warmth spreading throughout your entire lower belly.
Wrapping around you in all directions,
Extending into your lower back.
Allow your lower belly to become a furnace of warmth,
Your hearth.
This fire is ancient.
It is intelligent.
It knows exactly how much heat to generate.
Feel it burning away all old beliefs,
Old patterns,
Stagnant energy,
Stored judgments,
Old ways of living and being,
Especially the beliefs that told you it was safer to dim your light,
Safer to stay quiet,
Safer to stay agreeable,
Safer to alter your truth so that others wouldn't feel uncomfortable by your light or by your wisdom.
Allow the fire to burn away everything that is no longer serving your best or highest good.
And silently repeat after me.
I generate my own warmth.
I generate my own power.
I trust my creative fire to guide me.
Now allow this fire to rise naturally up one level into your solar plexus,
The space around your belly button.
This space is your power center,
The home of confidence,
Will,
And self-trust.
Feel the fire rising to enter this space,
Growing stronger here,
Fierce yet still contained.
And at the same time,
Feel the water still flowing around your body,
Fire within,
Water surrounding you,
Power balanced within flow.
Breathe into this space around your navel and silently repeat after me.
I trust myself.
I trust my inner fire to guide me home.
Now gently open the door,
Allowing your inner flame to rise again,
Growing in all directions into your heart space.
As the fire enters your heart,
Notice how it feels.
Notice how it changes.
Does it become warmer?
Does it become softer?
Does it become more radiant?
This is your heart fire,
The kind that warms without burning,
The kind that illuminates without consuming.
The waterfall continuing to flow around you,
Fire burning in your heart,
Water surrounding the body,
Two sacred elements working together in tandem.
Fire giving you courage,
Water giving you compassion,
Fire illuminating your truth,
Tearing down heart walls,
Burning away old heartache,
Water helping you flow with life.
Silently repeat after me,
My heart is strong,
My heart is open,
My heart illuminates my deepest desires,
My heart is free to guide me.
Now it's time to allow this heart fire to rise gently into your throat chakra.
Feel the warmth spreading up through your chest and in through your throat,
Loosening tightness,
Clearing expression,
Washing away any words you once swallowed,
Any truths that you once muted.
Your voice is now aligned with your heart fire clearing the way.
Expression becomes connection.
Allow the fire to continue rising up into your third eye in between your eyebrows,
Burning away confusion,
Making space for clarity,
Insight,
And inner knowing.
Now lastly,
Allow this fire to rise up more through the top of your head,
Expanding outward beyond your physical body,
Forming a warm golden field around you,
Like a radiant sun,
The waterfall continuing to flow through this field of light,
Fire within,
Water flowing around you,
Power and flow in perfect harmony.
Silently affirm with me,
It is safe for me to be seen,
My light connects,
It does not separate.
I am one with fire,
I am one with water.
I am going to stay silent so you can bask in this glow around you,
This warm golden field emanating from your sacred fire.
Allow the water to wash over you as your glowing golden light expands.
Now gently invite your fire to come back inward.
Let it settle comfortably back into your heart.
A steady flame that you can return to at any time.
Notice the warmth,
The openness,
The steadiness.
Allow the sound of the waterfall to remind you that cleansing and renewal are always available to you.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in and gently exhale.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes,
Bring yourself back into the room that you are in,
In this present moment.
And when you're ready,
You can gently open your eyes,
Carry this balance of fire and water with you into the rest of your day.
Thank you for joining me today in sacred Bali.
May your fire light your path forward with love,
Tasha.
