Hello,
And welcome to today's meditation.
Take a few moments to arrive here,
Honoring this time you've carved out for yourself today.
You can go ahead and take a big stretch,
Shaking out the body and any tension,
And rest your hands on your heart or your lap,
Settling into a gentle breath,
Inhaling through the nose,
Exhaling through the mouth,
Feeling more present and deeply relaxed with each breath.
When you're ready,
You can return to a normal breathing pattern,
Gently closing your eyes or keep a soft gaze in front of you.
Today we're going to focus on how to maintain boundaries and stay in your own energy when dealing with difficult people,
Whether a tough work situation,
Holidays or celebrations with family,
Difficult friends or neighbors,
Or any other individual or group you're challenged by.
Today we'll find the strength to protect ourselves,
To not let anyone or anything disrupt our energy,
And to step into our power to choose how we react so that we can meet any challenging people with a sense of equanimity,
Which is an approach of mental calmness and composure even in a difficult situation.
We'll start by surrounding ourselves with affirmations that can guide us like bright lights through any situation.
As I share these affirmations,
You may repeat them out loud or to yourself,
Or simply listen to my voice,
Taking a deep inhale and exhale with each one as you envision them circling you in a glowing protective light.
I am surrounded by peace and serenity.
Although I cannot choose what happens to me,
My greatest power is that I can choose how I respond,
And I choose to respond with love,
Light,
And calm.
I am an advocate for my mental and emotional well-being.
I speak up for myself,
And I do that with respect for the well-being of others.
The opinions of others are not mine to hold.
Their wounds are their own to work through,
And I acknowledge that their reactions have absolutely nothing to do with me.
I am in control of my breath and my mindset,
My priorities and my potential,
My perspective and my willingness to forgive.
I am in control of my most valuable asset,
My entire being.
I stand strongly here in my own energy,
And no one else's energy can disrupt my glowing light.
As you finish these affirmations,
I want you to imprint how you feel right now by placing your hands gently on your heart.
Begin to envision your energetic light,
Beautiful and glowing and iridescent purple,
Extending from the crown of your head to form a protective bubble around you.
In this bubble,
You are completely safe.
This purple magical orb around you ensures that only you and your energy can exist within it.
It's a place you can truly relax and be yourself,
Feeling this aura enveloping you,
Surrounding you with light beams of lavender,
Violet,
And plum that rainbow over and around you like shooting stars,
Bathing you in this spectacular,
Protective,
Sparkling purple light.
Feel your forehead begin to relax.
Allow your jaw and shoulders to drop.
Let your belly completely release.
Your hands go slack.
Your shoulder blades slide down your back.
Let your seat expand,
Giving permission in this glowing light for your whole body to spread out and unwind,
Allowing yourself to truly be at ease and feel complete relaxation and peace.
When you're ready,
Begin to bring to mind the person or persons you are finding difficult or challenging.
See them exist outside of your bubble,
Unable to enter,
Unable to permeate your energy,
Or say or do one thing that causes you any discomfort.
Look around your bubble,
Seeing that it is completely impermeable,
Recognizing just how strong this energetic boundary is,
And how it will let absolutely nothing in but what will serve your highest self,
No energy,
No words,
No actions to bring you down,
Only its protective light that infuses you with glowing,
Vibrant energy.
As you stand here in your power,
In your calm,
In your complete refusal to let anything but the highest vibrations and highest goods surround you and exist within you,
Begin to see the purple light around you pulsate.
With every breath you take,
It begins to swirl around you with more and more protection,
More light,
More magic,
More calm and ease.
Notice how you can see the person outside your bubble,
But are completely unaffected by them,
No matter what they say or do.
See as you still stand in this protective bubble,
It beginning to extend out to the ground all around you,
Growing glowing iris flowers,
Royal purple-colored vines,
And a magnificent canopy of plum-hued trees.
Your positive vibration is bursting with so much life,
It is literally growing the world around you you want to see.
You are creating your own reality through your own magnetic energy,
Filled with the way you wish to see the world.
You are surrounding this difficult person or people with this beautiful world,
So much so that they begin to become a part of it,
As you encircle them in this magical landscape,
Lavender blooms and plum trees and fluffy purple clouds.
As you view them from inside the safety of your bubble,
You can now send them good thoughts,
Choosing the high road and to gift them with just a small bit of your magnetic energy.
This energy will help them with whatever challenge or wound they're facing.
So send good thoughts and energy their way now.
Witness this glowing lilac-colored world continue to come to life,
As your bubble cradles you in its protective embrace for as long as you need.
Stay here for a few moments,
Completely in your bubble and protected,
While watching life bloom beautifully around you and your difficult person or people.
A true showing of just how powerful you can be when you choose to stay in your calm and your equanimity.
As we prepare to close,
Take a seat in your protective,
Supportive bubble and let's return to a few affirmations to seal in the magic of this journey.
I will never use my energy to worry.
Instead,
I choose to use my energy to believe,
Create,
Love,
Grow and glow.
I am a reflection for difficult people,
Holding up a mirror to their challenges.
I observe but never absorb,
And I send love to their wounds and wish them to heal.
I am aligned to my own energy,
And I let people meet me here.
I love myself deeply and without an ounce of judgment or expectation.
I am immensely powerful,
Strong and beautiful.
And I stand in my boundaries and my limitless power.
Between action and reaction,
There exists a space.
In that space is my power to choose how I respond.
I choose to respond only in a way that reflects my highest self and vibration.
In my response is where I find growth,
Freedom and the path to my future self.
If you haven't already,
Place your hands gently again on your heart and send love to yourself for taking this time to cultivate a sense of calm and equanimity in the face of challenges.
Give yourself a gentle hug and send gratitude for honoring yourself,
Your power,
And leaning into bravery to choose a different path today.
Place your hands now wherever needs a little more love as we get ready to close,
Knowing you can return to your magical purple bubble whenever you're dealing with difficult people,
And that your visualizations will only get stronger the more you come back to this meditation and cultivate your sense of unlimited strength and power,
Calm and equanimity.
Closing together with a deep inhale and beautiful exhale.
Thank you for showing up today,
And may you be surrounded by a glittering,
Glowing lavender light of your own powerful making for whatever challenges come your way.
Namaste.
