Welcome.
Please take your rightful place around our sacred fire.
This is a gentle somatic journey with your sacral chakra,
The seat of creativity,
Emotion and embodied flow.
Please listen only when it's safe to fully relax.
You're in control of your experience and may return to wakefulness at any time.
Settle into a comfortable position seated or lying down with your body fully supported.
When it feels right let your eyes close and allow your awareness to rest in the present moment.
Bring your attention to your breath noticing its natural rhythm in your nose,
Chest or belly without trying to change it.
Now gently invite a slightly longer exhale than the inhale allowing your body to soften with each out-breath.
This signals safety to your nervous system and allows the body to settle.
Now shift your awareness to the sacred pause between the inhale and the exhale.
The zero point of attunement.
Rest here noticing the calm awareness that exists naturally at the center of each breath.
Now let's support your nervous system more deeply.
In a moment we'll try a gentle breath cycle together where you will inhale slowly for a count of four allowing the lower belly to softly expand.
Pause at the top of that breath for two counts.
Rest in that pause.
Then exhale slowly for six counts letting the whole body soften.
Pause at the end of the exhale for two counts.
Resting again in that sacred pause and then continuing with that cycle.
So on the next inhale breathe in for four,
Hold for two,
Breathe out for six and hold for two.
Then again breathing in for four,
Feel the belly expand,
Hold that breath.
Then exhale for a count of six.
Let the body soften and then hold for two and then return to the inhale.
Repeat this cycle for another two or three breaths allowing the rhythm to guide you into feeling more relaxed with each breath.
And if at any point this feels uncomfortable simply return to your natural rhythm.
There's no need to force anything.
With each exhale release tension or emotional holding.
With each inhale give yourself permission to feel whatever is arising in this moment.
Find that sacred pause between each breath.
And now let your breath return to its natural rhythm and flow.
Bring your awareness to your pelvis.
Notice the bowl of your hips,
The lower belly,
The space just below your navel and above the pubic bone.
Allow this area to soften.
Let the belly be soft.
Let the hips release.
Let the lower back loosen.
Your whole body now rests in a state of calm clear awareness.
Now turn your attention to the direction of the South,
The element of water and the wisdom of rivers,
Oceans,
Tides and the moon.
Imagine you've been sitting before a crackling fire on the beach.
You get up and walk from the fire toward a warm shoreline at sunset.
The sky glows amber and rose.
Before you is a calm body of water reflecting the golden orange of the Sun as it sets on the horizon.
Step into the water.
Feel the sand beneath your feet.
The water is warm and welcoming.
You are safe here.
Perhaps a water being appears,
A dolphin,
Swan,
Turtle or a serpent of the deep,
A guardian of fluidity and grace.
You find a comfortable place to sit with your feet dangling in the warm water and observe the rhythm of the tide mirroring your breath.
Now bring your awareness to the sacral chakra just below your navel.
This is not merely a center of emotion,
It is the crucible of your becoming.
The alchemical vessel where life is conceived,
Creativity is gestated and desire is transformed.
This is also the center of your sexual energy,
Not simply as an act but as a vital part of your identity,
Creativity and life force.
Here sexuality can be expressed as a pathway for safely transmuting emotional energy,
Expressing intimacy and honoring the sacred intelligence of your body.
As you connect with your sacral,
Visualize the ancient geometry of the Vesica Pisces,
The sacred overlap of two circles.
Tune into the center of these overlapping circles,
The place where worlds meet,
Where spirit and matter embrace,
Where duality becomes creation.
This is the sacral,
The bridge that unites the feminine and masculine energies,
The quiet center of the toroidal field.
Within your body this is the living symbol of the goddess,
The fertile waters of potential.
It is the holy grail of the body,
Not something to be sought but a sacred space within you.
Notice what arises as you rest here,
Sensations,
Emotions,
Images or stillness.
It is safe to be in your body as you observe what is arising without judgment.
Now imagine the warmth of the Sun traveling through the water and entering your sacral,
Filling this space with a glowing warm orange light.
Here the Kundalini life force begins its subtle stirring,
Moving like water around stone.
There's no need to awaken or force anything,
Simply acknowledge the pulse of creative life,
Safe,
Fluid,
Responsive.
Return to the sacred pause between the breaths,
Sensing the stillness that allows this crucible to do its work.
Now if it feels safe I would like you to invite a younger tender version of yourself to join you at the shore.
This may be a part of you that longed for emotional safety,
Creative expression or reverence for the body.
Look at this young version of you now with compassion and softly say I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for all the times that your feelings were shamed or that your body and unique creative force was not honored.
Please forgive me for the ways that I disconnected to survive or mask how I really felt.
Thank you for your sensitivity,
Creativity and life force.
I love you.
Your body is sacred,
Your pleasure is wise,
Your waters are the wellspring of intuition.
Allow these words to ripple outward in gentle waves and feel the water reflecting these ways back to you.
Its warmth surrounds your ankles and it travels up your calves and your hips,
Warm,
Welcoming and supportive.
With each exhale allow old shame,
Creative suppression or relational wounds to dissolve down into the water.
The water carries them away and with each inhale draw in creative vitality,
Sensual aliveness and emotional fluidity.
Feel your hips soften from within,
Giving subtle permission to sway with life rather than brace against it.
And now let's pause here as you ask your sacral chakra,
Your crucible,
What does it need to feel safe moving forward?
How would it like to express emotion,
Sensuality and creativity in daily life?
What does it need as it relates to other and as you relate to your body?
Notice any words,
Images or sensations and if nothing arises that's okay too.
Just rest in the sacred pause.
You can always return to this space.
The chakras are always transmitting messages.
Visualize that orange light glowing balanced and clear,
Neither stagnant nor overwhelming.
The Vesica Pisces within you pulses with sacred geometry.
The goddess within you is embodied.
The Holy Grail was never lost.
It lives in your pelvis,
A vessel of life,
Creativity and sacred intelligence.
Feel the subtle support from the layers of light and vibration energy which hold the body in its physical field as they calibrate to the upgrade you have just given to yourself.
Take a few moments to surrender into the gift of deep peace and belonging.
And now turn your awareness back to your physical body.
Feel the weight of your body against the surface beneath you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes gently.
Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.
Feeling calm,
Fluid,
Creative and present.
When you're ready open your eyes.
You are grounded in your body,
Connected to your waters at home in your crucible.
Thank you for meeting around our council fire.
Our wounds around creativity,
Emotions,
Sex and the body were formed in relationship.
The pathway to healing is through a kind of reclamation where you announce your place within these energies whilst being safely witnessed in authentic community.
If this journey resonated,
Share in the comments what helps you feel creatively alive and emotionally safe.
May we rise together in reverence,
Flow and belonging.
Be well.
