Welcome to this guided meditation.
Here we will focus on the breath,
The chakra energy system and a beautiful visualisation at the end.
For this meditation we will anchor ourselves with breath,
We will also use some mantras for self empowerment and inner confidence.
Let's first start by getting into a comfortable seated position.
You can choose to have your palms facing up for a more open mind or place your palms face down in order to ground and connect deeper with the earth.
Now just gently close your eyes.
We will start with a deep inhale through the nose,
Breathing in and a nice full exhale,
Breathe out.
Take another deep inhale through the nose,
Noticing the air filling the belly and exhale.
Now relax your shoulders away from your ears.
Inhale,
Focus on filling the belly and expanding the rib cage.
As you get to the top of the breath just hold and exhale,
Let the breath flow out,
Noticing the belly emptying and the rib cage contracting.
I invite you to take 3 more deep breaths here,
Inhaling and exhaling,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Inhale and exhale.
Use this meditation as your opportunity to get grounded in the present moment.
Check in with yourself.
How is your body and spirit feeling?
Maybe you have had an exhausting week,
Maybe your week is just starting.
Let's take another deep inhale through the nose,
Allowing your chest to expand broadly and proudly.
Be proud and feel confident.
If the mind wanders that's perfectly okay,
Just focus on the breath and choose to come home to the mind.
Every time you wander,
Just refocus back on the breath.
We will get ready to introduce some mantras now and each mantra will focus on each of our chakras.
As you repeat these mantras to yourself take ownership of the words.
To start with we are going to send the breath to the base of your spine,
This is the root chakra.
Here we will visualise a glowing red light shining bright.
In this space we will repeat the mantra,
I am safe.
I am safe.
I am safe.
Continue to repeat the mantra for the next little while and I will call you back.
Moving up to your belly pelvis area,
Here we want to envision a bright orange light,
This is the sacral chakra.
As you envision the bright orange light repeat the mantra,
I am creative.
I am creative.
I am creative.
Continue to repeat the mantra.
Bring your attention now to your abdomen just above the navel.
This is the solar plexus chakra.
Envision yellow energy shining from you here and repeat to yourself,
I am confident.
I am confident.
I am confident.
Now let's take your attention to your heart space.
Breathe in a glowing green light into your heart space.
Think about what the words mean as you softly say to yourself,
I am love.
I am love.
I am love.
Continue to chant the mantra in your own time and I will call you back when we are ready for the next chakra,
I am love.
Now I'd like you to imagine a crystal clear blue light moving through your throat,
Every inhale and exhale this is our throat chakra.
Silently repeat to yourself,
I am truth.
I am truth.
I am truth.
Now bring your attention to your forehead.
Imagine a purple light swirling in the middle of your brow line,
Our third eye chakra.
Speak I am wisdom to your inner self.
I am wisdom.
I am wisdom.
Finally bring your attention to the top of your head,
The crown chakra.
Now I'd like you to visualise a swirling ball of indigo light as you repeat,
I am whole.
I am whole.
I am whole.
Take a deep inhale through the nose,
Taking in the power of these words,
Filling the lungs all the way down to the belly,
Filling in with all the opportunity that's in the air.
As you exhale,
Heal and release,
Letting go of any remaining tension.
Now let's turn our awareness into our imagination.
We will go to a mountain top.
I invite you to visualise yourself.
You are standing tall and proud,
Confident that you are inherently magnificent.
Envision the mountain you are on and the scenery around you.
Feel yourself connected to the earth.
You are inherently grounded.
You are inherently strong.
If you find thoughts or ideas cross your mind,
I invite you to visualise them as clouds in the sky.
Observe them at first and then allow them to float by.
Sometimes there will be big clouds,
Sometimes there will be small ones,
But remember there will always be a blue sky above.
You will always have your higher level of awareness.
Thank the clouds for visiting and allow them to pass.
I want you to visualise your body surrounded by a white shining light orb.
Think of this as your aura shining bright.
Notice with each inhale and exhale your light starts to shine brighter and brighter.
Feel strong,
Proud and confident that you have balanced all of your energy centres.
And remember you can return here to this mountain whenever you need.
Take 3 more deep inhales and exhales and slowly start to bring your attention back to your body in the current moment.
Start to take small movements in the body,
Maybe wiggling the fingers and toes,
Opening and closing the palms of the hands,
Maybe even rotate the neck from side to side.
And slowly begin to open your eyes.
I hope you have had a wonderful journey and until next time my friends,
Namaste.
You
