A revitalizing morning practice,
Fill up on vital energy.
The sustaining energy of universal light can be accessed in silence and openness.
The fortuitous magnitude of the energy that can be gained is lightning.
Lightning in the sense of lessening the load one must bear on their own.
For when one is lacking vital energy,
He feels he must get it from another.
This could not be farther from the truth.
The ability to fill up on one's own innate energy and the energy from source is given at birth.
As children,
It is done with ease and instinct.
As we grow,
We forget and find solace in another.
This give and take is draining and overwhelming to both involved.
So to find one's own energy and fill up on the energy available to you at all times is your work.
To embrace this energy that flows forth easily and in exuberance,
First we must deepen into our breath.
Breathe in through your nose.
Hold it at the top for just a second and then exhale out your nose.
Deepening,
Softening with each exhale.
We'll do this a few more times.
Breathe in through your nose.
Hold it at the top and exhale out the nose.
Once again,
Breathe in through your nose.
Hold it for a second and exhale,
Softening your shoulders down your back.
One more time,
Breathe in through the nose.
Hold it at the top and exhale,
Letting go of any other tension in your body.
Let your breath relax into its natural rhythm and allow these words to wash over you and sink deep into your bones.
Now I will walk you through the vital energy centers within your body.
Bring your attention to the crown of your head.
Relax your forehead and your eyes.
Bring your awareness to the place in the center of your forehead called the crown chakra.
Between your eyes in the center of your forehead.
Breathe deeply with all your focus in this area.
Relaxing and softening and creating an opening as if you're opening a door to receive energy into this area.
You may feel a tingling sensation.
Just continue to breathe through this area.
Now relax your cheekbones as your focus travels down your face.
Open your mouth a little bit to relax your jaw.
Soften your shoulders down your back.
And bring your awareness to the throat chakra.
Bring your awareness to the area in the center of your throat.
And soften and relax the muscles in your throat and neck.
Softening until you can feel the muscles making space for an opening.
As your eyes continue to open and receive.
If it helps you can imagine bright white light flowing into this area of your throat.
Just being sure to keep softening in this area and allowing the energy to flow.
Tension creates a wall where there should be an opening.
Allowing the energy to flow as it is supposed to.
Now bring your awareness down into your heart space.
Your beautiful sacred heart in your chest.
Breathe through your heart space and soften the muscles around your heart.
Until you feel the energy start building in your heart.
Keep breathing deeply.
Imagining that the breath is going in and out of your heart space.
Give thanks for this vital organ and all of the work it does for you daily.
Softening,
Opening and receiving.
Now bring your attention to the navel area.
Just above your belly button to the area of your solar plexus.
Soften the muscles in your stomach and create an opening to receive energy from this space.
Deepen your breath and see if you can soften in the navel area even more.
Softening,
Opening and receiving energy and light.
Then travel straight down below your navel to the sacral chakra.
Bringing energy to this area as well.
Release the muscles in your pelvis.
Deepen your breath and see if you can soften in this area even more.
Now take the deepest inhale you've taken all day.
Breathing in through your nose and using the back of your throat to push the air out completely.
As if you are using this line of energy like a tune.
You've created a line of energy flowing in through the top of your head all the way down to your pelvis.
Do you feel the energy circulating up and down this line,
This tube with each breath able to reach into all corners and crevices of your body?
Breathe deeply in and out of this tune filling up on the life force from source.
There is nothing else you must do but receive this vital energy when all blockages have been released.
And you are allowing the energy to flow through you.
This eternal well of energy is always available to you.
Now from this space of love and light continue to fill up on energy as you breathe in energy.
And exhale pushing it through all corners of your body.
And from this space of love and light let the following words wash over you and flow through you.
Helping you to seal in this vital energy you've just received and aligning you with your true power.
Dear universal love and light,
Please help me ground myself in this authentic power and divine energy.
Please flow through me in all situations,
Interactions,
And endeavors throughout my day.
And let my mind be humbled by the vastness and depth of this new perspective.
As our practice comes to a close,
Start to become aware of your hands and feet.
Just as the sun starts to stretch its rays across the wide open plains as a new day begins,
Start to stretch out your arms,
Waking up your body,
Slowly calling all parts of you back to this moment.
And close your practice by placing your hand on your heart and thanking the universe for its abundant supply of energy and vitality.
I wish you a revitalized day,
My friend.
Namaste.
