Namaste.
This is Jordana.
And today we're going to do a meditation for empowerment.
The thing about empowerment is that we want to make positive choices from a place of strength.
You can't make a positive choice for your life without being in an easy,
Enjoyable,
Natural feeling environment.
So we want to start with our bodies and our minds.
So I'll guide you through a process of relaxing,
Settling into the anchor of breath,
And finding a stillness within.
So wherever you are right now,
Find a way to sit or lie really comfortably.
Do any scooching around that you need to do to feel ease in your body.
Allow your spine to lengthen.
Your shoulders roll up and back,
Creating space between the tops of the shoulders and the ears.
You'll relax your face and your jaw,
Allowing the entire face to soften.
We'll begin with three conscious breaths,
Taking a deep,
Full breath in,
And then exhaling slowly out the mouth.
Breathing in,
Exhaling slowly out the mouth.
Last one.
Inhaling,
Exhaling,
Allowing yourself to settle fully in your body and to release and relax any areas of tension or unrest.
Allow the breath to glide through the body.
And as it does,
Finding any spots that could use some opening,
Could use some release and relaxation.
As you breathe,
Finding just even 5% more relaxation and ease.
Taking a scan of the body from the feet up to the knees,
Breathing in a sense of relaxation and softness to the thighs,
Releasing and relaxing the hips.
Moving up to the belly,
Feeling a softness in the abdomen,
Relaxing through the low back,
Breathing up the length of the spine.
Perhaps you can feel a bit of warmth at the heart.
And as you take the next breath in,
Feeling that warmth spread across the chest and to the shoulders,
Soothing the musculature of the shoulders and the neck,
Relaxing of the arms and the hands.
And this breath of awareness and peace moves up through the throat to the area of the forehead,
The center of wisdom,
Of inner knowing.
Breathing into this space here and allowing the calm to reign up and over your crown until your breathing feels like you've created a cocoon of sweet energy,
Relaxing,
Soothing and restoring you.
And now here in this place of clarity,
Expanding calm,
This is ripe ground.
I'd like you to recall a time,
Anytime that comes up for you,
Where you felt truly empowered.
A time when you were unstoppable.
Success was palpable through every fiber of your being.
You felt alive,
Excited,
Strong and purposeful.
Where were you?
What were you doing?
And how did you feel?
Perhaps without even putting words on it,
Can you remember what it felt like in your body?
That time of total empowerment,
Breathing in and breathing out,
Recalling that time and those feelings and who you were in that time and space.
Allowing this feeling to encapsulate you.
And with whatever you're feeling today,
Perhaps there is an issue or a problem,
Something that is disturbing your total state of peace.
Maybe it's just something simple or perhaps it's a relationship that needs to be addressed.
What area of your life could use this empowering energy?
You might be stepping into something new,
Furthering a new project.
I'd like you to take that sensation of empowerment,
Those feelings that you've encased your body in,
Of power and confidence,
Of excitement,
Of joy.
And I'd like you to imagine that you can take that as energy that is applied to this current situation and to what you face today.
It's almost as if this energy,
This empowerment energy could also hold the situation of today.
And as it does,
There is a release,
An unfurling.
The knots of the situation of now loosen.
Continuing to breathe in and breathe out.
And imagine this unfurling,
This recalibration of now into a space of empowerment,
Brightness,
An energetic yes.
Keep coming back to this.
It's like a total yes that beams from your heart,
That energizes the unfurling of what was once a problem,
A circumstance,
A relationship or a project that needed to be addressed.
But this energy of yes,
Feeling it brighten.
There is a glow within you.
It shines from the inside to the outside.
And from your feet up to your root.
And from your root to your heart.
And from your heart,
It moves out.
It shines into the globe and beyond.
From this space,
You are universal energy.
You can do whatever it is that your heart desires.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
Breathing into the space of knowing.
Breathing out into the expanding light,
Into your grace.
And then fully allowing your mind to release and relax into your body.
Into a space of no longer needing to do or be anything at all.
Into this moment of stillness and pause.
And whenever you're ready,
Whenever it is that you feel comfortable,
You can begin to bring movements back into the body.
To deepen your breath.
And to open your eyes.
Returning to your physical being with a restored sense of who you truly are.
