Feel free to sit up or lie down for this meditation,
Whatever is most comfortable for you.
Grab some essential oils,
Light some incense.
Get your space ready for deep relaxation and healing.
For this meditation I will ask that you put your left hand over your solar plexus right above your navel and your right hand over your heart.
Your hands will remain in this position for the entire meditation.
When you're ready,
Close your eyes.
Let's begin with some deep belly breaths in through the nose and out through the nose.
Imagine a divine path running from your solar plexus up through your heart and into your throat.
Let your breath travel up and down this path.
Take one more deep breath in through your nose and this time exhale through your mouth and sigh it out.
Just let it all go.
I want you to envision a bright golden orb above your crown chakra.
You can feel its vibration and warmth at the top of your head as it begins to scan the body to release any stress or tension that you may be holding.
Feel its warmth spread over the back of your head,
Up and over the front of your face,
Relaxing your eyelids and softening your jaw.
Feel this golden orb's warmth running down the back of your neck,
Relaxing your upper back,
Your shoulder blades,
Your mid back.
The warmth begins to run down your arms and into your hands.
It's light activating your heart and solar plexus as it moves through your fingertips.
Your arms are heavy,
Resting on your body.
Breathe.
The warmth of this golden orb releases the tension in your lower back,
In your hips,
Your thighs,
Your shins,
Your calves,
Your ankles.
You sink deeper.
Finally this golden orb reaches your feet,
Nourishing and grounding them.
Now you are fully engulfed in this warm golden light.
Nothing can harm you.
Nothing can disturb your peace.
You are safe.
Now that you are fully relaxed,
You can visualize with perfect clarity.
Envision yourself coming upon a vast field full of beautiful yellow flowers.
As you continue to walk onto this field,
Your fingertips lightly glide across the petals next to you.
When you gaze ahead,
You notice someone is waiting for you in the middle of this gorgeous field.
They smile at you.
You recognize them.
You proceed to sit next to this person on a big blanket on the grass,
Basking in the sun's rays while a breeze makes the hair by your face dance.
You turn to face each other.
They look at you and tell you,
I've come bearing a message,
One that you know but may have forgotten.
I deliver this to you in hopes that you remember.
They tell you,
In life we come across many teachers.
These teachers can be our parents,
Our siblings,
Our friends,
Colleagues or loved ones.
Sometimes the lessons they teach us are too painful to understand and so we miss the gift hidden in the cracks of our wounds.
Sometimes our teachers are simply meant to remind us what we've neglected within ourselves,
Our power,
Our strong will,
Our playfulness and divinity.
They test us.
They challenge us.
They force an unstable foundation to crumble so that we can build anew and for that reason,
Thank them for they shine a light in the darkest corners that often go unnoticed.
They remind us that sometimes we mistake what remains unseen within us as parts of ourselves that have gone missing.
But these parts of you never left.
You are always whole even when you feel broken and our teachers,
Even the most hurtful ones,
Spark the light that guides us back home and home,
Sweet one,
Was always within you.
In moments of doubt or uncertainty,
Honor the power within you.
As they turn to leave you,
You notice they left a note behind.
The note reads,
The fire within me burns through all blocks and fears.
The fire within me burns through all blocks and fears.
The fire within me burns through all blocks and fears.
Please continue to repeat this affirmation silently to yourself and I'll let you know when to come back.
Whenever you're ready,
Begin to wiggle your toes,
Move your fingertips,
Get back into this space in this time and in this body.
Give yourself a nice long big body stretch and remember that when faced with situations or circumstances that cause you to doubt yourself or to forget who you are,
Show gratitude for yet another opportunity to show up for yourself,
To step into your power and to honor the fire within you.
