Hello and welcome.
My name is Candy Foster.
I am a mindfulness meditation instructor and a Reiki master teacher.
And I'm happy to help you relax,
Release,
And recharge today.
This is a meditation of true self-care,
So settle in.
Let go of all the stuff and plug in to recharge your energy.
So let's find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.
You can do this inside or even outside on the ground is amazing.
Find a position where you can remain for a while with a nice straight spine and settle in.
You take a deep breath in and release.
Take another deep breath in.
Let it all go.
And one more deep inhalation.
Hold it for a moment at the top of the breath.
And release.
Relax into a softer,
Gentler,
More natural breath.
Follow it in and out with your mind.
And continue to follow the breath.
Allow that breath to start to relax your mind and your body with each cycle.
As you breathe,
Focus on the crown of your head and just observe what sensations are there.
Allow the breath to just relax your whole head.
Let the exhalation clear away anything that doesn't feel good.
Breathe in through the third eye.
Imagine that breath gathering up any negative energy.
And letting it all go on the exhalation.
Now breathe in and allow that breath to sweep through the throat chakra.
Pull together any resistance or blocks around your truth.
And release it all on the exhalation.
Moving down to the heart chakra,
Breathe in and feel that breath move through the heart.
Let it relax your chest and back,
Letting go of any hurts,
Anger,
Or discontent on the release.
Feel the relaxation.
Breathe in through the solar plexus just above your belly button.
Feel that breath sweeping up anything that doesn't feel good to you right now.
As you exhale letting go,
Notice all the muscles in your midsection relax.
Moving down to the sacral chakra just below the belly button.
Breathe in the cleansing breath and on the release let go of whatever comes up.
Finally breathe in focusing on the base of your spine.
Allow that breath to take away any fear you may be holding on to.
Let it go of the exhalation.
As your base chakra clears,
Notice the effects of gravity on your whole body.
Your connection to the surface beneath you.
Make that physical connection.
Imagine growing roots from your body down into the surface of the earth.
Feel those roots pull you even closer to the ground,
Really connecting you to the planet.
Feel them stretch and grow until they reach the center of the planet.
You are now plugged into Gaia.
Now you can recharge your body,
Your mind and your spirit.
Feel the energy filling you up from the toes and feet,
Up around the ankles,
To your shins,
Calves and your knees.
Allow it to fill you up through your thighs and your hips.
Let it climb from your lower to middle to upper back and consume your torso.
Feel your arms and shoulders,
Your neck and head take on this renewed energy.
Feel the energy pumping through your veins and your whole body.
Sit with this rejuvenating energy for a while and just take it all in.
Allow it to build and truly recharge you from deep within.
You are fully charged and rejuvenated and it's time to come back to your physical space.
Once again noticing that surface beneath you.
Coming back to the here and now,
Take a deep breath in and release.
Thank you for joining me today.
I hope you are fully recharged and ready to go.
Namaste.
