So,
Let's begin by really becoming present here.
Whatever you may be thinking about,
Don't worry about it,
It's just a thought.
Release the thoughts and just be present.
And let us take a breath together and we breathe in.
Let's just breathe in like pure presence and breathe out distraction.
So take a breath and exhale distractions.
And in whatever way feels right to you,
Imagine that all of your energy that you've scattered around,
That you've given away,
Just imagine that it's all just coming back to you.
Maybe you have a visual of it,
Or maybe you just feel,
Just come back,
Come back.
Let us leave all of the islands of hatred and resentment and blame and judgment and shame and let us just return to ourself.
Our power is here in the present moment.
So I would like to begin this meditation by asking all of our guides respectively,
All of the compassionate beings through time,
Mother earth,
Any angels,
Any bodhisattvas,
The presence of love and forgiveness and harmony to be with us here.
May we feel supported.
May we feel safe.
May we do this visualization and this meditation out of love and a desire to be coherent with ourselves.
So begin to scan your being,
Just first take an awareness of your physical body here,
Physical body sitting here.
Maybe you notice some places that feel tight or uncomfortable.
Maybe some places that feel spacious,
No judgment.
And then see if you can expand your awareness to take in your bio field,
Your energy field.
Just keep an open mind.
Remember when you get acupuncture,
It's not going into our veins.
It's going into our meridians,
The energy pathways,
Because we're energy beings also.
So become aware of your energy field and what do you notice?
Just see what you notice.
Maybe some places in your energy feel expanded or feel open or robust and maybe other places feel kind of shrunken,
Shut down,
Small or withered,
Front and back,
Side to side.
And as you scan this energy field,
Just notice and become aware of the ways that you may be giving energy,
Leaking energy from your energy field to other places,
Other people,
Other situations or times,
Past or future.
The more we think about something,
The stronger that energy cord or energy attachment becomes,
Because we're watering that cord with our focus and our attention.
So where or what in your life are you feeding your energy to in a way that may not be helpful for you?
Maybe it's Instagram,
Maybe it's your ex-husband,
Maybe it's your mother,
Maybe it's a former employer,
Maybe it's a part of yourself that hurts,
A belief or a pattern.
Just look and see.
There may be many,
Many things and we can clear the energy for all of these different things that are taking our energy,
But let us start by choosing just one thing.
And I invite you to imagine that that one thing,
Person,
Situation,
Place,
Belief is just right here in front of you.
Notice what you feel when you see or sense this thing,
What emotions arise,
What sensations,
What is your energy when you are in relationship to this thing?
Do you feel expanded and do you feel small?
And as you see this thing,
This person,
This situation,
Become aware of these cords of energy going between you and that.
Whatever it looks like for you is what matters.
This is your experience.
This is yours.
Make this true for you.
So visualize that,
Visualize that energy going between you and this thing.
And if you're a visual person,
Maybe you notice this cord,
Maybe you notice many cords,
Maybe they're kinked,
Maybe they're fat,
Maybe they're thin,
Maybe they're dark or smoky or wilted.
What do you see?
Maybe there are some cords that look contorted and unwell and maybe there are other cords that are robust and bright and light.
Everything can coexist.
And as you look and see the situation,
This person,
This thing,
Take a moment to feel whatever you feel.
And if you want or need to express anything,
You can do that.
You can do that out loud.
You can do that in your mind.
If there's something that you need to say to this person or to the situation that has never been said.
And if you feel hurt by something,
We want to offer this word or these words from a place of liberation,
From a place of wanting to be free,
Not a place of hatred or anger,
Because that just strengthens the cords.
So feel into yourself that longing or that desire to be free from something that has pushed you down,
Made you feel small,
That has depleted your energy.
And it's okay to say that.
You or this situation has depleted my energy and I've lost myself and I now need to call my energy and myself back and release both of us.
Say it in your words,
Feel it in your words.
We set ourselves free and we set other people free.
That leads to so much more love and harmony and it strengthens and heals.
So imagine that this person or situation that across from you is hearing you,
Is receiving you.
And now we're going to ask that these cords of energy,
Of unhealthy attachment that are causing us pain and suffering,
We're going to take the moment now to clear and cut those cords so that we can be in our own energy and call our energy back to us.
So if you would like to call on the presence of Archangel Michael,
Whom I mentioned is an ally who helps with these cord cuttings,
You're welcome to do so.
On behalf of guiding this meditation,
I will call upon him and please be with us.
Please help us to set ourselves free from the people,
The places,
The thoughts,
Addictions and habits that bind us,
That shrink us.
Please help us to let go of these cords that weigh us down so that we can come into our wholeness again,
Into our worth.
So in whatever way works for you in your imagination,
You can imagine that you're holding your hand open and that a beautiful sword or a pair of scissors or even a laser beam or something is placed there.
If you yourself would like to cut these cords,
Or you can imagine that a divine being or an ally is doing it for you,
You can also imagine that you're just taking your hand and sweeping it down in front of your body and you're imagining that you're just cutting and releasing these cords.
We ask that these cords of energy and attachment to this person,
To the situation,
That it may be released and cut now,
From now and all time and space.
I release you.
I set you free.
I forgive you.
I forgive myself.
Just feel that deeply.
Just imagine that you're cutting these cords and as you cut these cords,
Imagine that this energy is just dissolving or disintegrating or falling to the ground,
That you're letting this energy go and feel your energy and power coming back into you.
You can feel,
You can say,
I release you.
Thank you.
I forgive you.
I forgive myself and I set us both free.
Take a breath,
Hold,
And then exhale through your whole body.
As you sit or stand across from this situation or person,
Feel that you are each in your own energy and imagine that the places where those cords were coming out are now filling with light.
You can put your hand on a place where it feels like those cords may have been coming out of.
Fill those places with your own love and with light.
Feel that you're calling your energy back,
Releasing that external focus.
Come home,
Come home,
Come back,
And in any way that feels right to you,
If you want to offer a blessing or a prayer of thanks to this person or this situation,
You can just imagine,
Even if you just bring your palms together,
Thank you for teaching me what I needed to learn.
Thank you for showing me how I may have turned away from my own worthiness.
Thank you for showing me that I deserve love and helping me learn to give that to myself.
Thank you for teaching me about letting go,
About surrender,
About trust,
About the power of authenticity,
Of vulnerability,
About the power of my voice and my truth.
You can imagine now that you're just allowing that image of that person or that thing to just dissolve in any way and you just be here with yourself,
Fully with yourself as sovereign being with you.
Thank you to the guides,
To Archangel Michael,
To all of the compassionate ones that supported us in this process.
Now,
Just take a moment to feel yourself with yourself.
We are so,
So powerful.
It is not a power over anyone,
It is a power within,
A power that helps us to love,
To help us forgive,
To help us begin anew,
A power of knowing our own value,
Knowing that our true worth is indestructible,
That awareness is always there,
We just have to turn back to it.
So feel that from here forward.
I will love and honor myself.
I will listen to my heart.
I will become aware of the ways that I say yes when I want to say no.
I will become aware of the ways that I shut down my voice and start to honor my truth.
Even if I forget,
Even if I don't do it one day,
In the next moment I can begin again and create new neural pathways of worthiness,
Of love,
Of belonging,
Of self-acceptance that will then change the landscape of our life,
Bring more people and circumstances that reflect that worthiness back to us.
Thank you.
