Welcome to the Sitting in the Power Meditation.
This practice is designed to help you quiet the outside world,
Connect with your inner energy,
And expand into a deeper awareness of the universe around you.
There is nothing you need to force or achieve during this meditation.
Simply allow yourself to relax,
Receive,
And be present.
Now find a comfortable seated position,
Gently close your eyes,
And begin to turn your awareness inward.
When you're ready,
Take a slow,
Deep breath in and let it go.
Now take a slow,
Deep breath in and release it softly.
And again.
Breathing in and letting go.
There's nothing you need to do,
Nothing you need to fix,
Nowhere you need to go.
Just be here.
Bring your awareness to your body.
Notice the points of contact where you meet the chair,
Where your feet meet the floor.
Allow your shoulders to soften,
Your jaw to unclench,
Your brow to smooth.
Let your breath become natural and effortless.
With each exhale,
Feel yourself dropping deeper into stillness.
Now gently bring your awareness to your heart space,
Right in the center of your chest.
Now imagine a soft white light there.
It may be faint at first,
Just a quiet glow.
With every breath,
This light begins to expand,
Growing warmer,
Stronger,
More present.
This light is your power,
Your essence,
Your connection.
You don't need to create it.
It's already there.
Now simply sit with this light.
No effort,
No forcing,
Just awareness.
If your mind begins to wander,
Gently bring it back,
Not with judgment,
But with softness.
Back to the feeling,
Back to the presence.
You're not trying to do anything here.
You are allowing yourself to be in your power.
Feel this energy gently expand,
Filling your chest,
Your body,
Your entire being,
Like a quiet radiance.
You may begin to feel stillness,
Peace,
Subtle sensations,
Or simply awareness.
Now allow this light to expand beyond your body.
Just slightly.
Like a soft field of energy around you.
You are sitting in your power,
In your presence.
There is nothing to chase,
Only to allow.
Now,
Keeping your awareness gently anchored in your breath,
Begin to notice that the energy within you is not contained.
That same light,
That same presence begins to expand beyond your body.
It expands beyond the space immediately around you effortlessly,
Naturally,
Like a soft ripple moving outward.
This energy expands into the room,
Touching everything gently,
Without force,
Without effort.
And now even further.
Beyond the Walls.
Beyond the building,
Expanding outward into the open space around you.
There is no edge,
No boundary,
Only awareness,
Only presence.
Now allow this expansion to continue,
Reaching outward,
Into the sky,
Into the vastness above.
Stretching beyond what you can see,
Beyond what you can imagine,
Until there is no separation between you and everything.
You are not just within the universe,
You are part of it.
Connected,
Supported,
Held.
The same energy that exists within you exists everywhere.
You are sitting in the power of the universe itself.
Now,
Simply rest here,
In this awareness,
In this connection.
No effort,
No striving,
Just being.
You may feel expansive,
Light,
Still,
Or simply present.
And now,
Gently,
Without losing this connection,
Begin to bring your awareness back.
Back to your breath.
Back to your body.
Back to the space around you.
But notice the expansion is still there.
The connection remains.
You are both grounded and limitless at the same time.
Take a deep breath in and release slowly.
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes,
And when you're ready,
Softly open your eyes.
Carry this awareness with you and you are always connected,
Always supported,
Always powerful.
