Hello,
This is Jennifer Ellis.
I'm bringing to you today a meditation called Flourish and Shine from Within.
When you're ready to begin,
Please find the meditation position that is calling to you today.
Settle in,
And then gently close your eyes.
I believe when we begin to flourish in life,
It is when we learn from our experience.
We learn from our experiences and grow from them so we can then shine our light brighter out into the world.
When we're flourishing in life,
We shine from within.
We grow in self-acceptance and true beauty.
When we shine brighter,
It means we're taking care of ourselves and accept ourselves just as we are.
And in doing that,
It really supports us in being able to then also care for others.
And I find often then when we have some trouble feeling that we are flourishing or shining,
And that might mean different things to different people,
What I do find is when you're not feeling those types of things,
It's because our energy's a little off.
So I thought we'd use this time in our meditation to balance our chakras.
Now let's ground ourselves,
And we'll start to balance our energy centers to support ourselves in service of flourishing and shining our light.
And that light,
It comes from within.
Visualize a long tree root.
It's growing from the base of your spine.
It's going deep,
Deep down into the earth.
Feel this.
Feel that it's connected to your root chakra.
And see the color of red.
This represents stability,
Security,
And survival.
Take a moment just to feel into the root chakra.
See the color red,
And start to feel it balancing.
And then traveling up to the next chakra,
The sacral chakra,
Located below the navel.
See the color orange supporting your chakra here.
And this one is linked to creativity and new ideas.
See that color orange.
See your sacral chakra balancing.
See it working in tune with your root chakra.
And then traveling up the solar plexus chakra,
This chakra is located in the stomach area.
See the color here,
Yellow.
It relates to personal power,
Self-esteem,
Self-confidence.
See that yellow,
And start to feel your solar plexus chakra balancing.
And then see and feel it working in tune with the root,
The sacral chakras.
And then when you feel like those three are balanced and working together,
Let's travel up again,
The heart chakra,
The center of the chest.
And see the color green.
This green is embodying love,
Compassion,
And emotional balance.
See it,
Feel it.
The heart chakra is balancing as you envision this beautiful color of green.
And then feel that heart chakra becoming centered and balanced with the solar plexus,
The sacral,
And the root chakras.
The throat chakra is next.
The color blue is the color associated with this chakra.
The throat chakra supports us with communication,
Expression,
And the truth.
See that color of blue and feel that throat chakra balancing.
The energy of that chakra balancing.
Now see the throat chakra working together with the heart,
The solar plexus,
The sacral,
And the root.
They are balanced,
They are centered,
They are supporting you.
And then we have the third eye chakra,
Which is positioned between the eyebrows,
The color of indigo,
Connected to insight and present moment awareness.
Really feel into that.
Stay present with it.
And feel that third eye chakra balancing with the throat,
The heart,
The solar plexus,
The sacral,
And the root.
Centered,
Balanced,
Energy centers.
Yes.
And then finally we have the crown chakra,
Which is found at the top of the head.
See the color of violet and white there,
Representing enlightenment,
Connection,
Consciousness.
See that crown chakra balanced.
And that crown chakra is working in tune with the third eye,
The throat,
The heart,
The solar plexus,
The sacral,
And the root.
All your chakras are now balanced.
You are beginning to feel wonderful energy that will support you in flourishing and shining from within.
You've just dusted off the chakras.
You have balanced them.
They're shining bright,
Just like you.
Take a moment and just breathe and feel into this balance,
This flourishing,
This shining from within.
What does it feel like?
And now we're going to close our time together with three rounds of box breathing,
Which supports us in focus and just being present and aware,
Calm.
We're going to inhale through the nose for a count of four.
We'll hold the breath for a count of four.
We'll exhale through the nose for a count of four and hold the exhale for a count of four.
Here we go.
Three rounds together.
Inhale.
Hold.
Exhale.
Hold.
Inhale.
Hold.
Exhale.
Hold.
Once more.
Inhale.
Hold.
Exhale.
And hold.
Just breathing here naturally,
Seeing your chakras balanced,
Feeling and tuning in to how you've flourished,
How you shine and how you show up in the world.
And when you're ready to return from our time together,
Start to bring awareness back into the physical body,
Being conscious of your physical space.
Move your body a bit.
And then when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
It's always an honor to spend this time with you.
Flourish and shine from within,
Always.
And you have this meditation to balance your chakras on those days when you feel like you're not shining as bright as you can.
