Transcript

Today I will guide you through a Yin Yang meditation to cultivate both unconditional and conditional love for yourself through the union of these two practices.

Please come into a comfortable position either sitting or lying down.

If you're new to this practice,

I invite you to practice this lying down for a stronger connection between Yin and Yang,

Unconditional and conditional love.

Guide your awareness to your breath.

Allow deep nourishing breaths to enter through your nostrils.

Feeling your lower belly expand with each breath in and then exhaling feeling your belly gently contract with each breath that leaves your body.

Feel the soothing and calming effect as your mind connects with the ebb and flow of your breath.

As you notice your breath and notice your belly expanding and contracting with each inhale and exhale,

Guide your awareness to your lower energy field,

Your Tantian elixir field which is located about three inches below your navel.

With your next exhale,

Feel yourself connected through this point and from this point feel as if you are tethered and connected to a cord that is connecting you in this watery womb space.

See and feel yourself floating in the dark,

Calm and deep waters of this peaceful ocean.

Feel that in this space you are safe,

You are held,

You are free to be as you are.

Allow yourself to surrender and relax deeper into this soothing,

Dark,

Calm and deep energy of this watery womb space.

With every exhale,

Feel the weight of the water guiding you inwards,

Supporting you in this serene,

Heavy darkness.

Each exhale empowers you to yield to this sensation and you feel yourself being drawn deeper and deeper and deeper.

And deeper and deeper.

When you reach the bottom,

With your next inhale,

Feel this heavy,

Soothing energy from this watery womb space begin to rise and embrace and engulf the soles of your feet.

As you exhale,

Feel this energy return and descend into the darkness below.

Every inhale,

You feel this energy begin to rise and wrap around,

Supporting and soothing the soles of your feet.

And every exhale,

You feel it gently wash away,

Gently leave and return,

Leave and return,

Descending into the darkness below.

With your next inhale,

Feel this heavy,

Soothing energy rise further up along your feet,

Through the insides of your lower legs,

To your knees.

And as you exhale,

Feel it return and descend through your feet,

Back down below,

Into the darkness.

And every inhale,

You feel it rise further up,

Soothing and calming you.

And every exhale,

You feel it descend,

Softening and releasing.

The next time you feel your breath come in,

Feel this soothing energy rise even further up,

Through the soles of your feet,

The inside of your lower legs,

To your knees,

Up through your inner thighs,

To your lower dantian,

Your elixir.

To your lower dantian,

Your elixir field.

And as you exhale,

Feel this energy flow back down,

Like water,

Beginning to descend through your elixir field,

Your hips,

Your thighs,

Your knees,

Your calves,

Your ankles,

Your feet,

All the way back into the source.

With your next inhale,

Feel this soothing energy rise even further up,

Through your feet,

Through your legs,

Through your hips,

Into your lower dantian,

And rising up all the way to fill and saturate your heart.

Feel the whole of your lower body,

Your torso,

And your chest begin to saturate with this soothing energy.

And as you exhale,

Feel this energy,

Like water,

Descending down from your chest,

Your heart,

Your spine,

Your lower belly,

Your hips,

Your thighs,

Your knees,

Your calves,

Your ankles,

Through the soles of your feet,

Back down,

Descending,

Returning to source.

With your next inhale,

Feel this energy rise even further up,

Again through the soles of your feet,

Through all of your lower body,

From your feet to your ankles,

To your knees,

To your hips,

Along your spine,

Your lower belly,

To your heart,

This time to your shoulders,

Arms,

Elbows,

Forearms,

Wrists,

Your palms,

And even all 10 of your fingertips.

Feel it rise even further up,

Along the sides,

Back,

In front of your chest,

Collarbones,

Neck,

Cheeks,

Chin,

Ears,

Nose,

Eyes,

Eyebrows,

Forehead,

All the way up to your crown.

Feel the whole of your body saturated with this soothing,

Watery energy.

Feel that you are engulfed and protected in this watery womb space around and also inside of you.

Here,

You are free to be as you are.

You are safe.

You are held.

You are seen.

You are loved.

As you feel yourself floating in this watery womb space,

Sense and feel from above a pure,

Illuminating white light.

Descend and gently caress the crown of your head.

As you exhale,

Feel it gently spread down along the front,

Sides,

And the back of your head.

As you exhale,

Feel it slowly flow down along your forehead,

Scalp,

Eyebrows,

Eyes,

Ears,

The contours of your scalp,

Nose,

Cheeks,

Jaw,

Sides,

Back,

In front of your neck,

And jaw.

As you exhale,

Feel it continue to flow down along your collarbones,

Your chest,

Your shoulders,

Your arms,

Elbows,

Forearms,

Wrists,

Center of the palms,

And all 10 of your fingers and your fingertips.

Feel it flow through your chest,

Your heart,

Your lungs,

Your belly,

Your lower elixir field.

Feel it continue to flow through your hips,

Your groin,

Your thighs,

Knees,

Calves,

Ankles,

Heels,

Toes,

The rainbow arches of your feet,

And the balls of your feet,

All 10 of your toes,

And even the soles of your feet,

Descending from your crown through your body,

All the way down,

Merging with this dark,

Soothing energy below you.

Feel the contrast between this bright,

Illuminating energy from above,

And this dark,

Soothing,

Watery energy from below.

Feel these two energies mix and balance.

Feel them fuse and harmonize around and inside of you.

And feel that through this light from above,

Your efforts,

Your progress,

Your transformation is seen and witnessed.

All the challenges you have overcome,

All the lessons you've learned,

All the insights you've received,

And all that you are becoming.

Feel the whole of you saturated with this bright,

Strengthening,

And fortifying energy.

Feel yourself honored,

Respected,

And seen in this expansive space of possibility and potential.

With your next inhale,

Visualize from the soles of your feet,

This dark energy rising up through your body,

And through the crown of your head,

This bright,

Strengthening energy descending down.

And feel these two energies meet in the center of your heart.

With your next exhale,

Feel them mix and swell and balance each other.

And feel them spread out through your heart,

Through your chest,

Through your arms,

And through your palms,

Through the center of your palms,

Out.

So it forms a cocoon that begins to wrap around the whole of your body.

Every inhale,

Feel the dark energy rise up through the soles of your feet,

And through the crown of your head,

This light energy descend down.

So they meet at your heart,

And through your heart,

They're sent out through your chest,

Your arms,

Your palms,

And through your palms,

They form this cocoon,

Weaving and wrapping around the whole of you.

Repeat this cycle,

Inhaling and exhaling these two energies,

As you feel and allow these energies of yin yang,

Of conditional and unconditional love,

Form a protective,

Nourishing cocoon around you.

Feel this cocoon,

Soft yet strong,

Vast yet finite,

Inside but also around you.

As you feel yourself suspended in this cocoon,

Feel that you are whole,

You are in perfect equilibrium,

Perfect balance.

You are welcome to stay for as long as you wish here,

Returning to your true nature,

The wholeness that is you.

If and when you feel ready to conclude this meditation,

As you exhale,

Feel this cocoon begin to gently withdraw,

And gently soften.

And gently soften.

From outside around you,

It begins to retract inside of you,

Coming back into the space three inches below your belly button,

Your lower elixir field.

With every exhale,

Feel both energies begin to return to source,

Begin to retract back inside of you,

Knowing that at any point of time,

You can always call upon and connect with both of these energies.

To protect,

Support,

And empower you.

Gently and slowly,

Rest both of your palms,

One on top of the other,

On your lower belly,

Your elixir field.

Feel that you carry this balance of conditional and unconditional love within you,

Always.

You are always embracing yin yang within.

Yin yang within.

And then gently and slowly,

If your eyes are closed,

We'll count down from three to one,

And you'll open your eyes.

Three,

Two,

One.

Thank you for joining me for this yin yang,

Conditional and unconditional love meditation.
