Hi everyone.
Happy Monday.
I'm coming to you with a brief meditation for those moments when you may be feeling scattered or stressed and just need to return back to stillness,
Back to your body,
And back to the light.
So whenever you're ready,
Find a comfortable seat.
You can sit on a cushion.
Elevate your hips higher than your knees.
Let your hands rest gently in your lap.
Palms can be down for grounding or flip your palms up in a gesture of receiving.
Whatever feels right for you today.
And as we prepare,
Just start to bring your awareness to your breath.
Notice its natural rhythm,
The rise of your belly with every inhale,
And the fall with every exhale.
Gently close down your eyes if that feels comfortable,
Or just choose to soften your gaze,
Staring down at the floor.
As we begin our meditation today,
I invite you to bring your awareness to your heart space,
And imagine a ball of golden light that starts as small as a pinprick,
And grows with every breath,
Bigger and brighter,
Until in your mind's eye it's as bright and as big as the Sun.
Breathing into that light,
Notice its calming,
Warming effect on your body.
And we're going to begin to fill your body with that golden light,
Starting down at your toes.
It's as if a spark of golden light fell to your feet,
And now the fire is expanding upward.
So as the light begins to fill from your toes,
To your feet,
To your ankles,
And you relax.
Watching that light travel up your legs,
Your calf muscles,
To your knees,
Your thighs.
Relax.
Soften into this light that is warming your body,
And filling you with divine source energy.
As it travels to your hips,
Can you ground down even more,
Knowing that gravity is supporting you in this moment.
As the light begins to spill from your pelvis into your abdomen,
And filling from the bottom of your abdomen up to your lower belly,
Into your stomach,
Covering all of your organs in this beautiful golden light.
Feel into the radiance,
And feel into the expansion.
As the golden light travels upward with your next inhale,
Feel your lungs expand,
Your ribcage expand,
Filling with golden light.
The golden light fills your heart,
Fills your chest,
And travels up to your throat.
Where we hold a lot of emotion,
Let that golden light wash any emotion that you're storing their way.
And as it overflows into your arms,
And travels down your biceps,
Your triceps,
Can you relax your arms,
And relax your triceps.
Soften any grip you may be holding,
As the light passes your elbows into your lower arms,
And all the way out into each finger,
So that you have glowing golden hands.
Now the light travels from your throat up into your head,
Covering the bones of your skull,
Softening the tension in your jaw,
Radiating light behind your eyes,
Relaxing any tension in your temples,
In your forehead.
So that now your entire body is filled with this golden,
Beautiful,
Radiant light.
And now I want you to imagine that light extending from your crown,
So it's as if it's shooting out through the top of your head,
Out through your fingers,
Out through all surfaces of your body.
Sending this light out into the world.
We are all beings of light energy,
And our light can be restored at any time,
By simply returning our mind to our body,
To our heart space,
To our connection with the divine.
And light is meant to be shared,
So as you go about your day in this new radiant space that you've just found,
Don't be afraid to share your light with others,
Returning your awareness back to your heart space,
To where all of that golden light originated.
Feel it with you now,
As you begin to bring your awareness back into the room,
Slowly opening your eyes,
Begin to notice where you are and how different you feel in this moment.
Thank you for taking time to be present,
To be still,
And to get back in tune with the light that is always within you.
I hope you have a beautiful and blessed day.
Namaste.
