Welcome to this meditation on the sun and being magnetic and radiant and fully yourself.
Sit tall,
Or if you're lying down,
Stretch tall and think tall.
Shoulders back and let your chest be open.
Even if this feels unfamiliar,
Let your body take up the space it deserves.
Take a deep breath in.
Imagine drawing in light as you do.
And breathe it out again.
And in,
Bringing in the light.
And let it out.
Let the breath move easily and freely.
This is a meditation about shining and it begins with this breath that moves without restriction.
So let's take three more generous breaths.
Open,
Inhaling light.
And exhaling generosity.
As deep as you can.
And allow a full release.
All the way in.
And all the way out.
And now breathe naturally.
The sun is our nearest star and it never questions whether it is doing enough.
It does not apologize for the space it takes up.
It simply burns at the center of our solar system and by doing so makes all life possible.
This is the energy we are working with today.
Your sun sign in astrology represents your central identity.
The person you are growing into.
The light you are here to express.
And here's the thing about solar energy,
It's not arrogance or performance.
It is authenticity so complete that it becomes magnetic.
Bring your attention to the center of your chest.
The sternum,
The place where your ribs meet.
Imagine a warm bright light there.
Like a small sun.
It's the particular quality of aliveness that belongs only to you.
No one else can replicate it or replace it.
Let that light brighten gently with each breath.
Notice it not because you're performing or making it or because anyone is watching.
Notice it shining because it is yours and you're allowing it to simply be what it is.
Think of a moment,
However small,
When you were completely unselfconsciously yourself.
Maybe you were alone or maybe you were with someone who made you feel safe enough to be real.
A moment when the edited version of you stepped aside and the actual you just was.
Let that feeling land in your body.
Notice where you feel it.
Let it be real for a moment.
That quality of being fully yourself is not something you have to earn or achieve.
It is something you have to stop preventing.
The most magnetic people in the world are not the most polished or the most curated.
They're the most genuinely themselves.
And people lean towards that because it's warm and real.
It's irresistible.
So let your small sun grow a little more freely.
Let it reach your face,
Your hands,
Your heart,
And all the space around you.
And remember you're not diminishing anyone else by shining.
You are in fact giving everyone around you permission to shine too.
That is the solar gift.
And as we close,
Let this be your intention.
Today,
In whatever small way is available,
I will be a little more unapologetically myself.
Not louder necessarily,
Not more.
Simply more present to my own particular light.
Let your small sun warm you and light up the world around you.
And come back to the room whenever you're ready and bring your sunshine with you.
Thank you so much for sharing your space with me today.
Have a wonderful day.
