Transcript

Welcome and thank you for joining me in this meditation.

The purpose of this meditation is to connect with and awaken the inner warrior within each of us,

A warrior who embodies courage,

Resilience and strength,

Ready to face life's challenges with grace and determination.

I'd recommend sitting for this meditation,

Although by all means lie down if you would prefer to do so.

Sit in whatever posture is comfortable for you but as much as you can please remember to keep your back straight and your hands level.

Awesome,

Thank you.

So as you get settled into a comfortable position please take a moment to consider your own intention and motivation for engaging with this practice.

Perhaps your intention is to tap into a new source of inner strength,

To overcome a challenge in your life or just to connect deeply with your own inner warrior spirit.

Whatever it may be,

Hold this intention gently in your heart as we begin.

We'll start with a couple of simple techniques to get you relaxed and centered,

Then lead into our warrior visualization with a particular pattern of breath.

So when you're ready,

Gently close your eyes and begin to take a deep breath in through your nose,

Then holding at the top just for a moment and then slowly exhale out through your mouth,

Just letting go of any tension or stress you may have been carrying.

Take a couple more breaths just like this,

Deeply in through the nose and then holding for a moment at the top and then exhaling slowly out through your mouth.

With each breath feel yourself relaxing a little into presence,

Open to the experience ahead.

Now,

Gently bring your awareness to the very top of your head and as you breathe imagine a warm soothing light flowing like a slow-moving liquid down from the crown of your head.

Allow this light to slowly wash over you,

Relaxing each muscle as it reaches it over your whole body,

Beginning at your scalp and then moving down over your forehead,

Just washing away any tension and now down to your eyes,

Your nose and cheeks,

Beginning to cover your jaw.

Continue to let this light flow down your neck,

Relaxing your shoulders,

Relaxing any tension you may have been holding.

The liquid light continues to flow slowly down through your arms to your hands and then into and over each finger,

Moving down now onto your chest and onto your back,

Feeling your spine lengthen and soften.

Let this light move down to your abdomen,

Your hips,

Melting away any tightness.

Then flowing now into your legs,

Into your knees and then down to your calves and your ankles,

All the way down to the tips of your toes.

Become aware again of your breath,

Feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed,

More centered and fully present in this moment.

Let go of any thoughts or distractions,

Allowing them to pass,

Much like clouds in the sky.

Your only focus now is on your breath,

Just connecting with the gentle rhythm of your being,

Like an engine running idle,

Just observe the natural pattern of your breath without trying to change anything.

Great,

So now we're going to shift gears.

We're going to utilize our breath to stimulate that part of ourselves that rises in response to adversity.

Begin by breathing in deeply through your nose,

Feeling your belly rise as you inhale.

Then when you feel full of air,

Hold the breath for a moment,

Feeling its energy within you and then exhale forcefully through your mouth.

This is our warrior's breath.

On the in-breath you are breathing in courage,

Breathing in discipline,

Strength and compassion.

You breathe in all the warrior stands for and you are breathing out fear.

Let's repeat this together.

Inhale deeply through your nose and then hold at the top briefly and then a forceful exhale out through your mouth and then again inhale through the nose.

When you reach the top,

Pause just for a moment and then a sharp exhale through the mouth.

There's no pause at the bottom,

Just start inhaling in straight away.

So continue this breath at your own pace,

Feeling the energy building within you,

Beginning to awaken your inner power.

You're breathing in strength,

Breathing in discipline,

Breathing in courage,

Breathing out fear.

Long breath in,

Short breath out.

If at any point this way of breathing feels too uncomfortable,

Just ease back into pure observation of the breath.

I'll give you a couple minutes to experiment with this breath now.

Wonderful.

Now let's begin our journey inward to meet the warrior within.

Take a deep breath and as you exhale,

Feel yourself drifting gently into a peaceful state of awareness.

Imagine yourself standing in a beautiful,

Serene landscape,

One that feels both familiar and timeless,

As if it has been waiting for you.

Picture yourself in a place of profound stillness and beauty.

Perhaps it's a quiet,

Sun-dappled forest clearing where ancient trees tower above,

Their leaves shimmering gently in the breeze,

Casting soft patterns of light and shadow on the forest floor.

The air here is cool and fragrant with the scent of pine and earth,

Grounding you with each breath.

Or perhaps you find yourself in the midst of a vast desert under a canopy of stars,

The air crisp and clear,

The sand beneath your feet are warm,

Glowing softly in the moonlight,

Stretching out endlessly before you,

As if reflecting the infinite possibilities within you.

Or maybe you're standing on the edge of a mountain peak,

The world spread out far below.

The sky above is painted in hues of gold and pink as the sun begins to rise,

Casting a gentle warmth across your skin.

You feel the solid,

Unshakable strength of the mountain beneath you,

Grounding you,

Reminding you of the unyielding strength within.

Wherever you find yourself,

This is your sacred space.

Take a moment to fully immerse yourself in this place.

Feel the ground beneath your feet,

Firm,

Solid and supportive.

Feel the gentle caress of the air on your skin,

Cool and refreshing.

Listen closely to the soft sounds around you,

Perhaps the rustle of leaves,

The distant call of a bird,

Or the soft whisper of wind against rock.

Allow the sensations to anchor you,

To connect you deeply to the present moment.

As you stand here,

Rooted in the earth,

Connected to the elements around you,

You begin to sense the presence of another.

Out of the stillness,

You notice a figure approaching in the distance.

Slowly,

Steadily,

They come closer,

Until you can see them clearly.

This is your inner warrior,

A part of you that has always been there,

Waiting for you to recognize its strength.

This warrior embodies your courage,

Your resilience and your power to face life's challenges.

Take a moment to observe this warrior closely.

Notice how they stand,

Strong,

Confident,

Unwavering.

Their posture is grounded as though they are deeply rooted in the earth beneath them,

Yet ready to move with grace and agility.

Their eyes are clear,

Focused and filled with quiet determination,

As if they can see through all the obstacles to the truth that lies beyond.

What do they wear and how do they look?

Perhaps they are adorned in armor that glimmers in the light,

Or they may well have strange markings,

Perhaps face paint or tattoos,

Or maybe they wear simple timeless clothing that symbolizes their deep connection to nature,

To the earth and to the cycles of life.

Every detail speaks of their readiness,

Their calm strength and their infinite patience.

As you take in their appearance,

You become aware of the energy this warrior exudes.

It's a powerful energy,

Yet it is neither forceful nor aggressive.

It's the energy of someone who knows their own strength and stands firm in their truth.

There is a sense of calm in their presence,

Quiet,

Unshakable,

Solid confidence that radiates from deep within.

Feel a deep sense of familiarity as you look at this warrior,

As if you have known them your entire life,

Though you may be meeting them consciously for the first time now.

This warrior is a reflection of your own inner strength,

The part of you that has faced challenges,

Stood tall in the face of adversity and continues to rise again and again.

This warrior personifies the indomitable human spirit,

Your indomitable human spirit.

Now,

The warrior stands directly before you.

They look into your eyes with a gaze that is both tender and fierce,

Inviting you to recognize the strength you hold within.

Slowly,

They reach out their hand,

Offering it to you.

Take a deep breath in and when you're ready,

Reach out and take their hand.

As your hand meets theirs,

Feel their energy begin to flow into you,

A surge of warmth and power that moves through your body like a wave.

Feel the strength of your warrior merging with your own being.

Feel their courage,

Resilience and determination merging with and becoming your own.

This is not a strength you are borrowing.

It has always been within you,

Waiting to be awakened,

Waiting for you to recognize its presence.

Allow this connection to grow stronger with each breath.

As you breathe in,

Feel the warrior's courage filling your heart.

As you exhale,

Feel any doubts,

Fears or securities being expelled.

With each breath,

You're becoming more and more aligned with this warrior energy,

More deeply rooted in your own strength.

Now,

Feel yourself fully embodying the warrior spirit.

Stood tall,

Feel the solid ground beneath your feet,

Strength in your legs,

Your spine,

Your core.

Feel the clarity in your mind,

The determination in your heart.

You are strong,

You are resilient,

You're capable of facing whatever life brings your way with grace,

With power and with love.

Know that this warrior has always been within you and will continue to be with you,

Guiding you,

Supporting you whenever you need them.

This is your true self,

A part of you that is always ready to rise at your request.

Take a moment to let this realization settle deeply within you.

Feel the warriors energy pulsing through your entire being,

Steady and strong as if it has been with you all along.

Feel the courage in your heart,

The resilience in your spirit and the strength in your core.

Bring to mind a challenge or situation in your life where you need these qualities.

See yourself in your mind's eye,

Approaching that situation with the calm,

Confident presence of your inner warrior.

How do you stand?

How do you speak?

How do you move through this situation with grace and strength?

Know that just like your inner warrior,

You have the power to face any challenge,

To overcome any obstacle.

Repeat silently or out loud,

I am courageous.

I am resilient.

For any challenge I may face,

I know that I have the strength I need within me now and always.

Feel these words resonate deep within you,

Feel their truth and allow them to become a part of you.

Know that your warrior self is always within you,

Ready to support you,

Ready to guide you through any of life's challenges.

Take now a few deep breaths,

Letting this experience settle gently into every cell of your body and every fiber of your being.

Feel the air filling your lungs,

Bringing fresh energy into your body.

Begin to gently move your fingers and your toes,

Feeling the sensation of being in your physical body and then in your own time when you're ready,

Slowly open your eyes and take a moment to notice how you feel in this moment,

Carrying with you the energy,

The strength and the courage of your inner warrior.

Thank you for taking this time today to connect with this powerful part of you.

Remember your inner warrior is always with you,

Ready to face whatever life brings your way.

May you walk forward with courage,

With grace and deeply connected to your own unwavering spirit.

You can return to this meditation whenever you need to reconnect with your inner power.

The warrior within you is always there,

Ready to rise.
