Come into a comfortable seated position.
Soften your gaze or close your eyes.
And start to breathe in a very steady pattern,
Like a drum beat.
Exhale in,
Out.
Steady breath in.
For the same length as your breath out.
Bring your hands to your thighs if they're not there already.
And create what I like to call the A-OK mudra.
It's like you're making the sign with your hands for A-OK.
Your index finger and thumb,
The tips of them,
Touch one another.
Your palms facing up.
This mudra connects you to your root chakra.
And to further that connection to this energy center of yours now,
Press your sitting bones down into your cushion with more conviction.
And start to visualize roots growing down into the cushion below you from your sitting bones.
Visualize your roots extending through the floor,
Reaching through the foundation into the actual earth.
See your roots writhing deeper and deeper and wider into the earth,
Like spider legs.
Your roots wriggling themselves through dirt.
As you continue to watch your roots poke and prod and meander their way through the earth,
The tips of your roots start to reach these boundaries,
These little barricades that prevent your roots from growing further in that direction.
Your roots bounce off the barricade and start searching for more soil to journey through in the opposite direction.
Again,
A barrier,
A wall,
Bing,
In the opposite direction your roots travel.
Watch as this happens over and over and over again.
Boing,
In the opposite direction,
Ding,
Switching gears.
Now start to notice that there's writing on those walls.
There's words on those barriers.
The word or words and phrases of that which is a barrier to you,
Of what restricts you from reaching your fullest and highest potential.
Start to see the words written on the barriers clearer and clearer now.
They come into focus.
What is it that's holding you back?
See your roots begin to wrap around the word or words on the barrier wall now.
See your roots wrap tightly around the world,
The word.
Plucking it out from the wall,
Breaking through the concrete to do so.
And once you have that piece of wall tightly in your grasp,
Begin to retract your roots back up into your sitting bones.
Using this piece of the wall with your word or phrase written on it with them,
Excavating this boundary,
This weight of yours up through the soil,
Up through the earth.
Draw it up.
Draw it up through the foundation.
Break through the floor and draw it up into the swirling energy of your root chakra.
See your roots slowly retract up and into this chakra as well.
And feel the essence of this word or phrase become a part of you now.
Feel what it embodies,
How it holds you back from your goals and intentions.
Feel just how it weighs you down from becoming your highest self.
As it coalesces into your physical body,
Feel how it restricts you,
How it keeps you small.
Hold that feeling with you as you take your hands now and form tight fists and start drumming your fists on your heart center.
You can drum them simultaneously.
You can drum one,
Then the other.
Let your intuition be your guide.
Your heart chakra is the energy center that embodies courage.
Feel as you drum on your heart that you are drumming up the courage to finally release this barrier from your being.
Start slow with your drumming and then faster and faster.
As your courage grows louder and louder,
Keep drumming.
Keep drumming and stop.
Release your hands back to your thighs.
Now state,
I release and then your word or phrase three times.
I release.
With more conviction this time,
I release.
Give it all you've got.
Send it on its way.
I release.
Do in the residue of that release for a moment.
Take a long slow inhale through your nose and a full letting go,
Full exhale,
Long slow out your mouth.
Start to arrive back in your physical space.
Feel the cushion beneath your body.
When you feel ready and not one moment sooner,
On an inhale breath,
Draw your palms to touch one another in front of your heart center.
Let's seal this journey together with the sound of a single om.
All of this becomes you.
No.
