Welcome.
I'm glad you decided to join me today.
I am Erika.
I am a meditation teacher and certified Reiki practitioner.
I love coming together for unity,
For community and mindfulness.
So I ask that you find yourself a comfortable position,
A comfortable place in your home so that we can meditate.
You can light a candle,
Pull out your yoga mat,
Even burn sage if you like,
Whatever fits you.
Let's journey to the power that is within ourselves.
When you're ready,
You can start to observe the natural flow of your breath,
Breathing in and out.
With every breath,
Flow deeper and deeper into relaxation and begin to close your eyes.
Let's talk about the power that we have within ourselves.
How are you feeling today?
I want you to take a moment to just begin to breathe and answer that to yourself.
Do you feel your own strength?
Like today,
You can set the world ablaze by just being who you are.
Or do you feel a bit of weakness by some situations that have happened to you this week,
This morning,
Or in the past?
Sit for a moment and notice how you're feeling.
Notice that it's okay with whatever arises for you.
Take a deep breath in,
Breathing in that strength and that power and releasing anything that no longer serves you.
Some of us have experienced trauma,
Worthlessness.
We have experienced our own toxic ways that we have spread to others or them to us.
And we haven't forgiven even ourselves.
We have experienced hardships of what someone or some situation have projected upon us.
And it may feel heavy.
It may weigh you down.
But ask yourself,
Are you ready to lighten the load and free yourself to feel good?
Whatever came to mind for you,
If it's strength,
I want you to own that feeling right now.
I want you to imagine the crown above your head so steady and strong.
If you felt any weakness,
That's okay.
I want you to simply imagine yourself adjusting or picking back up your crown because you have to realize that something inside of you is so illuminated,
Resilient and powerful that that light inside of you never has to be damned or cut off because of anything or anyone in this world.
It's your time to glow,
To shine,
To show up for you daily.
Take another deep breath in and exhale through your nose and really feel your strength.
Let's send some love to ourselves.
I want you to rub your hands together.
Warm them up of your beautiful energy,
Of the power that you know you have inside of you.
And I want you to place them over your heart chakra.
Sit with it for a moment and say to yourself,
I love me.
Say it again like you mean it.
You can even change the words and place your name in it because this is your reality.
I love me.
Oftentimes we don't realize that we haven't even shown ourselves any love,
The love that we give so freely.
We forget to tell ourselves how much we love us because we are holding in pain,
Hardships,
Things that we can't share with others or just our ideas and dreams that we want so badly.
We want to put them out there and we feel like we weren't ready.
You feel your heart chakra illuminating,
Lighting up.
You can keep your hands there for a while if you want,
Or you can drop them,
Whatever is comfortable for you.
But I want you to affirm to yourself and say,
I refuse to lose.
I refuse to lose myself again and really mean it.
I refuse to lose because this is your season of winning,
Of confidence,
Of happiness,
Of the life that you truly deserve and nothing can take that away from you.
I want you to know that you have to begin loving on you,
That your self care,
Your happiness,
Who you are matters.
I don't care what you have done or what someone has done to you.
Start to release that baggage so that you can walk freely on your journey without the burdens of life.
Again,
Let's show some loving kindness to ourselves and you can even show it to someone else as well.
Think of all the times that you have been kind,
Generous,
Or loving and visualize that so vividly,
Abide in that feeling,
Breathing in and out,
Inviting feelings of peace and acceptance.
You are worthy.
You are powerful and you deserve everything that is within you.
Never be afraid.
Release fear now,
Release doubt,
Release tension.
I'm excited for you.
I thank you for showing up today.
The light in me honors the light in you.
Namaste.
