Hello wonderful being,
Thank you for choosing me to be your guide today.
Begin by coming into a comfortable position,
Keeping your back straight and yet a little bit relaxed,
Making sure that your head is in alignment with your spine.
You can adjust your posture right now or any time during the meditation,
So as you settle into this posture,
Allow your eyes to either close completely or you can just lower your gaze looking downward at the floor in front of you.
You can choose whichever alternative that feels comfortable for you,
This is to limit any sort of visual distraction,
Turning your attention inward,
Become aware of the point of contact between your body and the surface beneath you,
Noticing where does your body touch the surface beneath you,
Letting go of the weight of the body onto that surface,
Allowing it to fully support you in this moment.
Now,
Allow your attention to drift to your upper belly,
The space just above your navel.
If you feel light,
You can also rest your hands there,
So placing your hands on your upper belly,
The space above your navel and if you don't want to do so,
You can simply allow your hands to rest in your lap or on your knees,
So now becoming aware of this part within you,
The space just above your navel.
This is the place where your solar plexus chakra or manipura chakra is located,
This is your centre of personal power,
It governs your confidence,
Willpower,
Self-esteem and ability to take aligned action,
When it is blocked,
You might feel insecure,
Passive or unsure of your direction,
When it is overactive,
You may feel controlling,
Easily frustrated or you might notice perfectionistic tendencies acting up,
When this chakra is balanced,
Then you feel motivated,
Decisive and worthy,
This meditation is designed to help you bring harmony to this energy centre,
So visualize a golden yellow flame glowing in your upper abdomen,
Just above your navel,
As you imagine it,
Do not think of it like a flame,
It is a flame that burns in anger and neither does this flame shrink in fear,
This flame burns steadily,
Lighting your path from within,
With each breath,
See this light expanding,
Filling your whole torso,
Your arms,
Your heart,
This light is expanding more and more,
Even filling your mind,
In a moment from now,
We are going to chant the beej mantra,
So as we breathe in,
We are going to fill our lungs with air and as we breathe out,
We are going to chant the seed sound of the solar plexus chakra,
Which is Ram,
R.
A.
M.
Ram,
With each repetition of Ram,
Visualize your inner fire growing brighter,
Not wild but steady and radiant,
So taking a breath in,
And exhale Ram,
Ram,
Feeling the vibrations in your solar plexus chakra,
With each repetition,
Let this mantra burn away doubt,
Fear and self-judgment,
Inviting instead clarity,
Confidence and direction,
So let's begin the chanting,
Ram,
Ram,
As you feel the heat of this golden flame,
Energizing and empowering you,
Feel free to repeat after me,
Tapping into this energy and these vibrations,
I am confident and capable,
My worth is intrinsic,
I don't need to prove it,
I release the need to control everything,
I am the author of my own life story,
I am guided by clarity,
Not fear,
I trust myself to take aligned courageous action,
Letting these words sink in,
Noticing how do you feel just above your navel,
Being aware of any energy or vibrations or any other change in this part of you,
Now allow your awareness to spread to your whole body,
Noticing the effects of this meditation,
Taking a deep breath in to soak in the effects of this meditation,
And with the exhale,
Allowing yourself to come back,
Coming back to your body by wiggling your toes and your fingers,
And finally coming back to your surroundings by gently opening your eyes,
Connecting back with the environment around you,
Thank you for listening and I will see you soon,
Bye-bye,
Take care
