Welcome to Sitting in the Power,
A guided exercise for spiritual growth.
Take a moment to settle into your space.
Let your body find a position that feels supported,
But not perfect,
Not posed,
Just comfortable so that you can stay present.
Let your shoulders soften with each breath in.
Relax your jaw with each breath out.
No need to control your breath.
Let it arrive exactly in its own rhythm.
There's nothing to fix,
Nothing to force.
We're simply arriving at being.
Now,
Imagine your physical,
Mental,
And emotional self standing up,
Taking a step over to the right,
And sitting down.
This other self is worrying about your day and your to-do lists,
And all you are required to do is be your spiritual self.
If,
At any time during this meditation,
Your mind begins to wander,
Push those thoughts over to this other self.
Now,
Gently bring your awareness to the center of your chest.
Imagine there a light,
A flicker of a flame,
The beginnings of an energy wave beginning to gather.
As you breathe in,
That energy center grows.
Your light gets brighter.
The flame gets higher.
The wave gets bigger.
Imagine that expanding outside of your chest.
With every inhale,
It expands another inch,
And with every exhale,
Imagine that light,
That flame,
Settling and rooting,
Anchoring itself into your body.
Inhale,
Expand.
Exhale,
Settle,
Root,
Anchor.
This should feel effortless.
Growing this energy,
Allowing it to grow.
Not controlling,
But instead,
Asking.
Feel how steady that is.
Feel how familiar your energy feels to you,
How it is completely you.
Imagine that glow expanding again.
This time,
It's filling beyond your body into the room in which you sit.
Slow,
Gentle,
But powerful.
You are a beacon of light.
You are a powerful fire.
You are a wave bigger than the ocean.
Let that energy fill you up and expand beyond you.
Allow it to stretch,
Almost breathing on its own.
Feel how steady that is,
How grounded it feels,
How strong it is.
Let yourself feel what it's like to be held in your own presence.
Be aware of that energy.
Be aware if you feel any sensations in your body.
But if you feel nothing,
That is also beautiful.
Notice any colors swirling around you,
Electric fizzles.
However you experience this is perfect for you.
Take a few deep breaths,
Letting your energy continue to expand.
It knows exactly where to go.
Now ask the energy of the universe,
The energy of spirit,
The energy of our guides and our loved ones to reach towards us.
This could feel like a blending of light,
A blending of flames,
Two waves gently meeting in a tide pool.
However you experience this,
Allow that energy to blend with you.
Notice how that energy feels at that intersection,
That blending.
Notice if there's a color or a sound.
But most of all,
Allow it to happen.
As always,
Continue to breathe.
This connection should feel effortless but strong.
Ask spirit and the energy of the universe to come closer to you,
To blend more fully.
Feel the love,
Feel the support,
Feel the encouragement,
Feel the purpose as it blends with you.
I'm going to leave you for a moment and come back.
Bask in that energy,
Feel that glow.
Feel the waves coming at you.
Feel the connection,
So strong.
Thank your guides and thank spirit for arriving here today.
Release that connection.
Pull your energy back into your body.
Allow yourself a few deep breaths in and out.
Move your physical body,
Fingers and toes.
And open your eyes.
Thank you so much for joining me on Sitting in the Power.
I hope you enjoyed it.
As always,
Stay open,
Stay curious,
Stay connected with Connected Intuition.
