Feel free to gently close your eyes,
Or if you feel more comfortable,
Keep them open at a soft gaze in front of you.
It's important for you to feel relaxed and completely safe.
Find a comfortable position,
Either laying down or sitting up with your back straight.
Take a few deep breaths,
Slowly inhale through your nose,
And exhale out your mouth.
On your next inhale,
I want you to listen to your breath,
To your heartbeat,
To any noises around you.
Notice if your mind starts to wander,
Thinking about your to-do lists,
Or something that happened today.
Accept the thought,
And release it.
Bring your attention back to your breath and your body.
This is the only thing that matters right now.
This is reality,
Right now.
You are not your past,
You are not your future.
You are this beautiful,
Peaceful moment,
Right here.
Anytime you find yourself distracted or worried,
Just bring yourself back to this moment,
Back to your breath.
Feel the ground beneath you,
Feel the structure holding you,
Supporting you,
And know you are safe and loved right here.
Place your hand on your heart,
And feel the warmth pulsing on your palm.
Take a deep breath.
Now imagine a beautifully decorated wooden chest in front of you,
With intricate ornate carvings.
You slide your fingers over the details as you open the lid.
Inside is empty,
But it's lined with a lovely soft velvet.
Now is the time for you to begin to place every worry,
Every random thought,
Every limiting belief about yourself into this box.
These are merely the stories of you.
Place words,
Images,
Fears,
Hesitations from your past and future into this box and let it go.
They are no longer yours to carry.
As you place those images into the box,
Feel your body lighten.
Slowly close the lid and bring your awareness back to your breath.
Loosen your jaw,
Feel your face relax,
Soften the muscles around your eyes,
And release the tension around your forehead.
Take two deep,
Slow breaths in your nose and out your mouth.
Now return to a normal breath as we start to ground our body.
Start to bring your awareness to an area behind your eyes and slowly move it all the way down to the end of your tailbone.
Imagine you are a tree and roots begin to grow from the end of your tailbone.
As they grow,
A lovely red light begins to fill the roots and help them anchor into the ground.
You feel your body anchor to the earth and now feel at one with the universe.
You can feel the earth take away your worries and feed you with energy and life,
Everything you need to be at peace in this moment.
Feel the warm red roots feed your soul the nutrients your body has been hungry for.
As the roots go deeper and the energy grows stronger,
Say to yourself,
I am safe and secure.
I am rooted in this present moment.
I am strong,
Steady,
And grounded.
I feel a deep inner peace even when the world around me feels chaotic.
Your roots remain securely grounded,
But your awareness is going to shift slowly up from your tailbone to your lower belly,
About 2 inches below your belly button.
Imagine a small orange ball start to glow and radiate from your belly.
Inhale as the orange glows brighter and exhale to extend that light even further,
Covering your entire belly in a glowing,
Swirling ball of energy.
Feel it fill you with creativity and joy.
Say to yourself,
I am energetic,
Creative,
And vibrant.
I am full of life.
My emotions are able to flow freely.
I listen to my sacred body and give it what it needs.
I am worthy and deserving of respect from myself and others.
Take a few breaths and with your exhale,
Move your awareness to your solar plexus,
The area between your belly button and your heart.
You notice a golden light start to emerge.
As you breathe out,
That light starts to wrap around your core.
Feel your center get warmer and softer.
Feel your confidence grow with every inhale and every exhale.
Imagine self-doubt exiting your body.
As the golden light brings more energy,
Say to yourself,
I am strong,
Resilient,
And confident.
I am motivated to achieve anything I set my mind to.
I am fierce.
I hold the key to my own happiness.
My soul is radiant,
My body is strong,
And my mind is fearless.
I am enough.
I have always been enough.
I will always be enough.
From now on,
I will only follow what sets my soul on fire.
Your awareness now moves to your heart,
A beacon of energy pulsing through your body every second of every day.
Take a moment to feel your heartbeat.
Notice its power and its strength.
It holds life.
You notice a gorgeous deep emerald green light start to pulse from your heart.
It pulses in tandem with your heart.
With every beat,
It grows more radiant.
You feel the warmth start to fill you and move to your toes.
It even moves beyond you to occupy the space around you.
You feel it hug your body.
See this energy of love extend from your heart to the universe you are connected to.
Say to yourself,
I am so loved and able to express love freely.
I choose to be kind and love myself and others.
I am able to honor and love myself with powerful compassion that others notice and feel my love as well.
I am grateful for all challenges that helped me to transform and open up to love.
I have the strength to follow my heart.
I am patient,
Peaceful,
And calm.
I am able to give and receive love unconditionally.
Now move your awareness to the middle of your throat.
See and feel a beautiful blue light start to spin and grow,
Opening up your ability to speak your mind.
As the light grows,
You feel more empowered to express yourself.
Your confidence is building.
The light is getting brighter and you feel the energy in your throat getting stronger.
Say to yourself,
I am living an honest,
Authentic life.
I feel open to speak my truth and know it is valued.
I remain true to myself in all that I say and do.
My voice matters.
I find the words I need to express myself easily and effortlessly.
I know when it is time to listen.
Now bring your awareness back to where we started.
The small but powerful area behind your eyes.
Imagine an indigo light here that starts to radiate outwards,
Circling and widening.
Feel the tingling sensation of that light,
That energy,
Growing more powerful.
As it grows,
Say to yourself,
I honor my intuition and I trust my decisions.
My body is a beautiful home for my radiant soul.
I see the divine light in everyone and everything.
I feel infinite and boundless.
Even when the world is immersed in darkness,
I walk forward in love and light.
Take one final deep inhale and as you breathe,
Feel the energy from the earth move through the roots all the way up to the crown of your head.
Notice how that energy is around you and starting to take up more space.
As that space opens wider,
You notice you are able to hold steady,
To emote freely,
To move boldly,
To love unconditionally,
To speak confidently,
And to see truthfully.
You are present.
You are here.
This is you.
You are not the stories of your past or what you could have been.
You are not your future.
You are this feeling right now.
Take a moment to be proud of yourself for being in the present.
Recognize how you have just shifted your mind,
Your thoughts,
Your power.
And understand that you can come back to this moment at any time.
This is your sacred space.
When you are ready,
Slowly wiggle your toes and your fingers and your shoulders.
Open your eyes and allow this power to follow you out the door today.
