Welcome.
This inner flame meditation is a practice to bring you inspiration and empowerment by aligning with the light within you.
I invite you to sit or lay down comfortably.
Close your eyes and turn your awareness inward.
Let's begin by bringing our awareness to the breath.
Noticing the quality of your inhale and exhale.
Allowing the breath to sink deeper from the chest into the belly.
Until we feel the breath expand in the low belly,
Feeling the stomach fill and contract with each breath.
You may even feel the pelvic floor rise and fall as you inhale and exhale.
Visualize a small flicker of a candle flame deep within your belly.
As you gaze into the flame,
Notice how this feels in the body.
As you watch the candle light dance in the breeze,
Notice any sensations that arise for you.
Any feelings of excitement,
Passion,
Strength,
Love,
Or inspiration arise as you gaze upon this candle flame.
You begin to notice that with each inhale,
This flame slightly swells and expands.
And with each exhale,
This little flicker contracts and moves in the wind.
Step into the spirit of your inner fires,
Asking for wisdom.
And maybe you ask,
What fuel can I pour on you to grow this flicker into a roaring fire?
What practices,
Awareness,
People,
Transformations can I add to this fire to watch it grow inside of me?
Listen in for a moment for the wisdom of what inspires your inner fires.
Listen in for a moment for the wisdom of what inspires your inner fires.
Listen in for a moment for the wisdom of what inspires your inner fires.
Listen in for a moment for the wisdom of what inspires your inner fires.
As you receive these messages,
Visualize yourself receiving each gift,
Each transformative energy as fuel,
And notice how it feels to grow this fire within you.
As it expands from a flicker to a flame,
From a flame to a campfire,
And watch as the campfire roars into a vast,
Bustling fire,
You can feel spread to your toes and fingers.
Seeing the warmth,
The power,
The light expanding exponentially within you.
Notice the sensation and how alive it feels.
Align with the energy of inspiration,
Alchemy,
And transformation that this flame ignites.
Pause for a moment of gratitude,
Honoring the flame within you by making a commitment to continue fueling your inspiration,
Growing the power within your inner flame,
Affirming to yourself,
I feed the flames that expand my inner light.
Once more,
I feed the flames that expand my inner light,
Allowing these words and sensations to resonate,
Coating them into your cells.
And now we will take several cooling breaths with a deep nasal inhale and a wide open mouth exhale.
Once more,
Deep inhale through the nose and an open mouth exhale with sound.
One final cleansing breath,
And after your exhale,
Pause for a moment,
Noticing this vast spaciousness that arrives here and affirming once more,
I feed the flames that expand my inner light.
As you take a deep inhale,
Welcome back in the oxygen that fuels your flames,
Welcoming the light within you present into this moment,
Into your body,
Into every moment.
Gently take your time arriving back into your body,
To this space and time.
As you bring this sensation with you,
You continue your day feeling energized,
Empowered,
And inspired.
And when you're ready,
You open your eyes with a gentle smile.
