This focused healing meditation is particularly beneficial for those facing health challenges as well as their friends and carers.
It includes a chakra balancing body scan with a deep dive to the DNA whilst creating a loving internal environment for you to heal and thrive.
We feel the air at the tip of our noses and let thoughts and sounds simply pass us by.
Breathing in through the nose and letting it go.
Breathing into a nice easy rhythm of breathing without force or judgment.
Feel your shoulders release as you quietly make an intention to completely let go.
Not just of breath and body but of everything.
And from this state of ease I invite you to recognise the precious opportunity you have at this moment.
You are here and it is now.
There is nowhere else to be,
Nothing else to do.
Just ease into this time of quiet contemplation,
Simply observing your mind and connecting with your true nature.
Bring your attention now to your root chakra located at the base of your spine.
This is your connection to the earth.
Imagine a strong,
Sturdy root extending from this place deep into the earth.
Picture it unfurling deeper and deeper until eventually it wraps around the earth's very core.
With the strength of this connection in place,
Feel fully your love of nature.
Perhaps even picturing yourself at a time when your senses were full of its wonder.
Swimming in the ocean,
Walking in a forest,
However it manifests for you.
Your root chakra deals with survival but it can sometimes be blocked by fear and anxiety.
It's time now to accept your fears and simply let them go.
Move your focus now to your second chakra,
The sacral chakra,
Which sits two inches below your belly.
This is water.
It is all about pleasure and creativity.
Picture yourself seated beside a gently flowing stream.
Take in all you can see.
Hear the sound of the water.
Feel the air.
Your sacral chakra can be blocked by guilt.
It's time now to release your self-blame.
Accept the reality that things happen.
Forgive yourself.
You may even like to imagine yourself removing sticks and stones from the stream and noticing how the water flows freely.
Onto the third chakra at your solar plexus,
Just beneath your breastbone.
This represents fire.
It is your willpower,
The fire in your belly.
Recall a time when you have risen to the occasion,
When you felt fully your passion and your purpose.
You understand deeply that you can achieve whatever it is that truly drives you.
Our sacral chakra can be blocked by shame.
It's time now to take responsibility for our mistakes.
We are all only human.
Simply accept that they are opportunities to learn.
The fourth chakra belongs to our heart.
It is love.
Bring your attention now to the centre of your chest and remind yourself of a time with someone when you felt nothing but love.
Welcome that person into your heart and bask in the sensation of love.
You may feel a warmth or a glow radiating from your heart centre.
Allow its luminance.
Feel it illuminate your entire body and then extend outward,
Filling all the space around you.
Our heart chakra can sometimes be blocked by grief.
It's time now to release all your sadness and loss.
Let the pain just flow away.
And now to the fifth chakra,
Sound,
Your throat.
Your words are energy.
Become conscious of your speech.
It is a tool for benefiting others.
The throat chakra deals with truth,
But it can become blocked by lies,
Especially the ones we tell ourselves.
Imagine all blocked and confused speech simply vanishing away.
To the sixth chakra,
Light.
This is the third eye at the centre of your forehead.
It is all about your intuition.
Imagine a bright white light emanating from this space down to your heart and throughout your body.
Allow your innate wisdom,
Your instinct to shine as brightly as the sun.
You understand deeply now that all the answers you seek are within you.
The sixth chakra can be blocked by illusion,
The greatest of which is the feeling of separation and emotion.
We are all connected.
Everything is connected.
Everything is one.
Lastly the seventh and final chakra,
Your crown chakra.
This is conscious awareness.
Imagine the top of your head opening wide like trapdoors and connect yourself to the universe.
All that is you.
The crown chakra is blocked by earthly attachments.
It's time now to let everything go.
And now we rest peacefully,
Observing our body in totality.
And we remember that we are not our body.
We simply have our body.
Notice the sensations you are feeling in this moment.
You may feel peaceful.
You may feel full of love,
Connected,
At ease.
Whatever you are feeling,
Allow yourself to feel it fully and observe it without judgment,
For there is nothing that needs to be changed right now.
And now we bring our attention back to our heart and connect with the familiar warm radiant energy emanating from the centre of our chest.
Allow this warmth or glow to surround your whole body and as you do,
Feel the love you have for yourself.
You are balanced.
Your energy is clear and your heart is full of love.
You have access to an infinite power that comes directly from within you.
Fully connect with that right now.
This is always here.
It always has been.
All you need to do is remain open,
Grounded and clear.
Maintaining this strong sensation,
Cast your mind inward once again,
Imagining that you are travelling deep within your own body,
Further and further in,
Until you reach your very DNA,
The building blocks of life,
However that manifests itself for you.
Now consciously send that powerful loving energy that you have created deep inside.
Pour it through you like golden nectar until it reaches every last molecule.
Feel your body rejoicing and becoming more resilient as the liquid flows in.
Bring your attention now to those places which most need it for you,
One by one with careful,
Purposeful love and attention.
Feel the nectar soaking into them.
Feel them responding.
And feel the deep healing process beginning to take place.
You understand now that your body intuitively knows what to do.
It is working for you.
And you understand that it operates most effectively in an environment of love and gratitude.
And that you must continue to rejuvenate it by regularly sending this energy deeply inward.
We hold this understanding and decide to keep it for all life situations,
Wishing that the good impressions that just appeared become limitless and everlasting.
And finally,
We recognise our fellow travellers on this road and acknowledge the loving energy we have just created.
Bringing it out to each other from our hearts while opening up to receive it ourselves.
We are all connected.
Nothing is separate.
We are all one.
And now you begin to notice your body again.
Start to feel where your hands have rested.
Feel where you're sitting and how you're sitting.
And while the meditation fades into memory,
The information is retained deep in your body.
It has already begun to change as a result of the loving and grateful environment you have created for it.
And it thanks you.
And now,
When you're ready,
You may open your eyes.
