Hello,
This is Christiani and I'm so glad to be here to flow with you in the journey to the Manipura Chakra,
The center of energy that is located in our body above our navel or below our breath for some is also known as our solar plexus.
This chakra has the element of fire and the color is yellow,
Bright yellow.
This chakra is about power,
Autonomy,
Will,
Energy,
Metabolism,
Technology,
Transformation,
And self-esteem.
When it is working optimally we experience a sense of independence.
Also we have the our self-esteem in the position that allows us to know of our power,
A power that does not make us any better than anyone else,
But also that does not let us be any less than anybody else.
It's a power that resides in each and every one of us.
When we are optimal in this space we are confident.
When this place is not working properly we tend to have low self-esteem,
To feel less than,
And to not experience a sense of autonomy.
We are always looking outwards for other people to tell us what to do and how to live our lives.
My intention in guiding this meditation is to bring a sense of transformation where we can all really step into the power that is our birthright.
We're gonna start by you finding a position that is comfortable,
Whatever that means for you.
Maybe you're gonna be seated on a chair,
Maybe you're gonna be seated on your favorite sofa,
Maybe you're gonna do it like me and do it as you're lying in your comfy bed,
As long as it's comfortable.
Your eyes can be open or if you feel comfortable and safe you can close your eyes.
Taking a deep breath in and a release sight out.
We are still,
Yet we sense a growing warmth within us.
We are alone,
Yet we sense others around us longing to break free,
Longing for warmth and light.
There is a form here,
But it's empty.
There is life here,
But it's still.
There is awareness here and it is awakening.
From a place of stillness we call forth movement,
Slowly reaching out,
Expanding,
Breathing,
Stretching,
Flowing.
Into form we invoke life.
It's a spark from the fire of the place between,
Between ourselves and others,
Between past and future,
Between the known and the unknown.
We move and dance,
Pleasure singing through us as the dance of life burns its way through our fears and our pain.
Connect with the feeling of being warm,
The warmth of pleasure melting tension,
Pulsating,
Growing,
The rhythms lifting,
Healing and soothing,
Warming and cooling.
From a place of infinite movement we call on the self with capital S.
We call on the self to awaken to another part of the journey.
We call upon the self to awaken to the sun,
The fire,
The warmth,
The transformation.
We call upon the self with capital S through our will and it rises to our call.
We reach for the sun and call upon the yellow ray,
The ray of life,
The ray of creation,
The ray of consciousness,
The spark of life.
We call upon the flame to burn within us and temper our passions into strength.
With strength we fight the dark,
Pushing and straining to realize it is part of ourselves,
Part of our strength,
Part of our fear and that darkness can become our ally.
We laugh and put down the fight,
Merging,
Becoming whole,
Becoming stronger.
We pass between the pillars of light and dark,
Honoring both and we find ourselves in a new and glorious land,
A land of bustling activity,
Teeming with life,
Sparkling like stars with shining rivers of light reflecting the sun.
The sparks catch our eyes.
We turn toward their glow and they move and dance,
Connecting and igniting all that they touch.
They touch something within,
Igniting strength,
Will,
Sparks fly,
Igniting other threads,
Other fires.
They explode,
They burn bright and they're gone.
We are lifted,
We are lightened,
We are laughing,
We feel our bodies sway with the rising heat,
Hot tongues of fire moving within us,
Expanding,
Contracting,
But growing ever wider,
Yet returning to its source within us,
Our bodies now burning,
Radiating heat and light and strength and will,
Power pulsating through us,
From above,
Below,
Around,
Running through,
Transforming all that is within,
Without,
Our bellies,
Burstling with joy.
Feel this energy deep within your body,
Burning with the fire of your own life.
Feel it pushing deep into the earth,
Down through the earth,
To the hot molten center of earth.
It returns from the earth,
Rising up from the heat below,
Through your legs,
Your pelvis,
Your belly,
Moving up through your body,
Through each part of your body,
Your arms,
Your hands,
Your chest and head.
Imagine the feeling of it flowing out of you,
Connecting with other sparks,
Filaments of energy,
Other fires of life.
Feel and connect with the thoughts inside of you,
Your constant sparkling of neurons,
Interconnecting filaments of energy,
Lines of thought,
Patterns in the web,
Ebbing and flowing in pulsing flames,
Burning with the glow of activity.
You are now a vital intersection of energy,
Merging,
Combining,
Exploding,
Radiating.
Expand your awareness without and within,
Weaving a web of power,
Like a fire,
Burning,
Growing higher and brighter.
Power flows through you effortlessly,
Easily,
Calmly.
You are one with the powers around you and within you.
Think of the times when you knew this power,
Times when you felt this connection,
Vitality,
Importance and strength.
Think of the times power flowed through you,
Like warmth from the sun.
Think and remember of those times and feel them now.
Feel your body radiate their purpose,
Dance with their majesty,
Sing with their strength.
In this fiery world of activity,
You are a channel for power around you.
You open to it,
You burn with it,
You drink in it,
And you pass it on easily,
Effortlessly,
Willingly,
Joyfully.
Your power peaks and returns,
Feeding the fire within,
A molten core,
Feeding your body,
Silently changing and charging,
Ready to expand again when your next purpose calls.
The fire has burned high and the coals now glow with warmth.
Exhilarated,
Your body relaxes.
A smile plays on your lips.
Your hands are at peace with the strength they have carried.
And once again,
Return to the gentle breathing,
In,
In,
And out,
In.
Satisfied,
You rest,
Knowing that no rain,
No water can dim your fire.
Bringing our meditation to a close,
Taking a moment to bring your hands into your Manipura Chakra,
Right below your chest and above your navel,
Feeling the pulsation in there,
Knowing that your guts know exactly the power that you carry within.
One more deep breath in and out,
And our journey into Manipura Chakra is complete.
Knowing that you can always come back here whenever there are insecurities,
Whenever you feel diminished in your power,
Come back here and reconnect with the fire in you.
I'm deeply grateful for you joining me and doing this very important work,
So we can all become more part of the solution of our humanity,
Instead of its demise.
Thank you.
