Inner Fortress,
A meditation to reconnect with your inherent strength,
Stability,
And capability.
Welcome,
Today we will be activating the spirit point of the lower dan tian,
Also called the sea of qi,
Which is the seat of our life force for grounding and creativity.
We'll also be connecting to the strengthening and stabilizing essence of cedar wood to fortify your psyche and bolster courage.
You don't have to have the essential oil,
Calling on the spirit of the oil is very potent and can bring brilliant benefits.
Begin by finding a quiet,
Comfortable space to settle in.
In order to activate the spirit point of the dan tian,
Simply place both hands 2 inches below your belly button.
If you have the oil,
Place a few drops on your finger and place it in the area 2 inches below your belly button.
Then set both hands there while we breathe.
Inhale for a count of 3,
And exhale for a count of 6.
Inhale for a count of 3,
And exhale for a count of 6.
Inhale for a count of 3,
And exhale for a count of 6.
You can hold your hands there for as long as you like,
And relax whenever you're ready.
As we embark on this meditation,
Remember that it is all about reconnecting with your inherent strength,
Stability,
And capability.
The cedarwood and sea of qi are symbolic reminders of these innate qualities within you.
Imagine yourself standing at the entrance of a beautiful garden.
This garden is the gateway to the divine.
It is a place where only goodness is allowed in,
To nourish your inner essence.
The gate has tall pillars made of golden light.
Feel the warmth of this golden light touching your skin as you approach the gate.
As the gate opens,
You step into a magnificent garden.
It's lush and vibrant,
Filled with flowers of every color imaginable.
The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers and the melodious sound of birds singing.
This is your inner garden,
A place of serenity,
Wisdom,
And inspiration.
In the center of the garden,
There is a massive tree,
Its branches reaching out to the heavens,
Reflecting inspiration and divine energy.
As you approach this tree,
You're enveloped in the soothing aroma of the majestic cedarwood tree before you.
This tree is a symbol of your own inner strength and stability.
The cedarwood is powerful,
Unyielding,
Yet flexible enough to sway with the most turbulent winds.
As you stand there,
Feeling the connection between you,
The tree,
And the earth,
You feel their wisdom rising up through your feet,
Filling your body with a sense of grounding and solidity.
This is the energy of the cedarwood,
Reminding you of the stability within.
As this energy,
Spreading through your body,
Nourishing every cell,
Every fiber of your being,
This grounded calm opens up channels of creativity and inspiration within you.
This energy is the divine essence,
The sacred within you,
Activated from the sea of chi.
Now imagine a golden ball of light emanating from within this point below your belly button,
Radiating out into the garden.
This light represents your inner essence,
Your connection to all of creation.
This golden light grows,
Touching every flower,
Every blade of grass,
Nourishing it with the goodness of your inner essence.
Visualize this golden light expanding,
Reaching out beyond the garden,
Beyond your physical body,
Connecting you to the world around you and beyond you.
This light weaves a network of energy,
Linking you to all of creation.
Feel the sense of oneness with the universe,
The interconnectedness of all things.
You are part of this divine network,
A conduit of wisdom,
Clarity,
And inspiration.
Bask in the feeling of connection and alignment with the sacred within you.
You are touching spirit as you feel the serenity,
The peace that comes from being in harmony with the divine.
Feel the loving energy of creation,
Flowing freely within you,
Nourishing your inner garden and nurturing your soul,
The grounding energy of the cedarwood and the dynamic life force of the sea of chi combined.
Continue to form a robust internal structure,
Your inner scaffolding,
Your inherent strength to move forward through your days.
You have the capacity,
You have the inner resources to achieve your dreams.
Trust in your journey and know that you are unfolding in precisely the right time.
Just as the flowers in the garden and the trees grow according to divine timing,
In this space of peace and stability,
You can release old stories and move into your potent and creative powers.
Allow the cedarwood and the sea of chi to help you reconnect with this truth.
As this meditation comes to a close,
Remember this is a gateway of your inner fertile garden of wisdom,
Of clarity and inspiration.
It is always available to you,
Simply by connecting to the sea of chi and always remembering that you are love and you are loved.
