Transcript
Let us take a deep exhale and release what is no longer serving us.
In this meditation we are going to do a body scan to help you to find any impurities,
Imbalances or stagnant energy within the body.
I will guide you through the breath and for the sensations that you may feel.
Allow yourself to be free,
Allow yourself to explore with zero judgment and curiosity and love.
Reminding yourself that your experience is totally your own.
I want you to start by taking a deep exhale out of the body,
Releasing what is no longer serving you through a scream,
Through a breath,
Through a motion,
Through a dance,
Through shaking the arms,
Releasing,
Renewing,
Cleansing,
Shaking your arms,
Shaking the body,
Shaking whatever feels stagnant and stuck and taking a deep inhale in through the nose and out through the mouth.
I want you to get into a position that feels really comfortable and really relaxing for you,
Something that you feel you can get deep into meditation or something that is just gooey and comfortable.
I want you to start by moving your ankles from side to side.
Maybe you want to swirl the ankle,
Maybe you want to move them up and down,
Back and forth.
We're just allowing the ankles to have free roam and free authority to move in the way that they want to move.
Exploring the places of pleasure within the body and the movement that occurs when we open up the ankles.
I want you to take a deep inhale through the nose.
You can allow your ankles to fold or to just be.
And we're going to take a deep breath in.
You can put your hands down by your side if you're laying down,
If you're sitting up.
You can put your hands with your palms up on the legs,
Cross-legged,
With your hands up for connection or palms down for grounding.
You can also place your hands on your heart or on your belly or anywhere on the body that you feel comfortable.
We're going to take a deep breath in through the nose,
Hold it at the top,
And then release it out of the mouth.
With every exhale,
I invite you to feel the way the body softens,
The way the body folds into itself.
We're moving at a slow pace today.
We really want this to be bringing us back to our body into connection,
Exhaling it out of the mouth.
If there's stagnant energy within the body that you feel you need to exhale twice or three times,
Feel free to do however you need to do it to get that energy moving and out of the body.
If your eyes are not already closed down,
I invite you to close down your eyes and get really comfortable in your position.
Breathing in through the nose,
Imagining that the breath is coming all the way down from the tips of the toes,
Moving through the body all the way up to your crown,
Filling in any crevices or cracks or places that feel they need more breath.
Breathing all the way in and holding it at the top,
And exhale out of the mouth.
Breathing in through the nose,
Holding at the top,
And exhaling through the mouth.
I want you to pick a color,
Any color that comes to mind,
And we're going to allow this color to move through our bodies,
Touching our cell,
Our blood,
Our organs,
Our tissue,
And helping us to remove the impurities that feel stuck,
To help us to remove stagnant energy and bring us back to our center.
Continuing your natural cycle of breath,
I will guide you through this session so feel safe to explore and to be and to deepen your connection to yourself.
Once you've picked the color,
I invite you to start breathing through the nose and slowly out through the mouth.
No need to hold at the top,
Just allowing that breath to circle.
Allowing the color to start to brighten,
Grow in magnitude,
Above the crown of your head.
When you step away from the silhouette,
You'll notice that the body is completely black.
It has no coloring,
It's just a plain silhouette of your physical vessel.
And this vessel is standing on the ground,
Standing on the earth,
In a forest,
In a field,
On the beach,
Anywhere that you feel most connected to the earth and your being,
I invite you to go there.
This color is growing above your head,
It's swirling,
It's growing in intensity and magnitude and speed,
And it will move through the body very quickly,
But it will be slow and steady as it flows through your energy centers.
This light is going to start to build,
Starting to become very strong,
With healing abilities,
With the ability to purify the body,
The ability to release the stagnant energy.
And I want you to visualize,
With your natural cycle of breath,
That this light is starting to permeate the crown of your head.
It's moving through the skull.
And as it moves through the skull and into the brain,
It's swirling,
Almost like a tornado or an infinity sign,
Moving through the brain,
Tissue,
The brain itself,
And just removing any stagnant energy,
Any negative thoughts,
Any patterns,
Any obsessive thoughts that are continuing to permeate the brain.
It's clearing out the negative voices,
The negative experiences,
And creating a way for you to connect deeper to your higher self and the universe.
As the light continues to move through the brain,
It's cleansing and clearing,
Bringing peace and restoration to your body.
As the light starts to move down behind the eyes and the back of the skull,
Removing any impurities within your sight,
Within your vision,
Removing any negative experiences that you've had to see,
Things you've seen that have been hard for you,
Things you wish you could have seen or brought to fruition that haven't come.
Allow the light to cleanse behind the eyes,
Removing any impurities and bringing new light and new vision to your life.
And as you allow this light to cleanse you,
We're going to start with a really cleansing and dream-like breath.
This breath is called the Wheelull.
It'll help to bring you into a calm state,
To allow the oxygen to flow through you,
As well as for you to drop in more into your body.
This breath is two through the nose,
Inhale,
And two out the mouth,
Exhale.
Kind of like you're moving in a circular motion with your breath.
You're going to breathe in through the nose twice and out through the mouth twice.
At whatever pace is comfortable for you,
I want you to continue this breath as we move through the visualization,
Allowing the body to slow and pace and to bring new healing energy to the body.
The light is starting to move down behind the cheekbones and the nose,
Clearing any smells that were hard,
Any memories that come with smell,
Clearing out sun energy.
As you visualize this light cleansing your whole face,
Experiences you hold,
Allow them to move through you.
As the light moves down to your mouth,
To your throat,
It's cleansing out anything that feels stuck.
Visualizing the light as it cleanses out the mouth.
And before we move to the throat,
We're going to allow the energy to move through our ears,
Through our eardrums,
Through the canals,
Removing any stagnant energy that's hindering us from being able to hear what we need to hear.
Our inner wisdom,
External evidence,
Anything that feels stuck within the eardrum,
We want to open up the channel.
And as you move away from the body,
Almost bird's eye point of view,
You're noticing that the silhouette is now full to the neck,
To the top of the neck with color.
Everything else is still black.
We're allowing this light to recharge our battery and refill our vessel.
Noticing the sensations within the body,
The tinglingness,
The ease,
The slow down.
Visualizing how the body wants to feel and granting that peace to them.
Moving down to the throat.
Cleansing and clearing the words that you want to say but haven't been able to.
The words you wish you didn't say that you did.
Things that people have said to you that have been painful.
We're cleansing and clearing the throat and allowing for true self-expression and connection to happen.
For your inner voice to shine through.
For boundaries to be set.
For your ability to speak your truth.
This light is cleansing but also clearing and bringing new life to your cells and to your organs.
As the light moves through the throat and over to the shoulders and the collarbones,
It's just cleansing and clearing any energy that feels stuck.
Any weight that you hold in your shoulders,
On the top of your neck,
Anything that you're carrying,
We're letting it go.
We're releasing it and we're letting it be free.
This light is cleansing and clearing the debris to bring light to your body.
And flow to our bodies.
As you continue your we lull breath,
The two in the nose and two out.
Allowing the body to continue to slow.
The light might be fast and clearing but it's moving slow through your energy and slow through the breath.
The more rest and relaxation,
The more powerful the light.
The light is going to move down your arms now,
Removing any impurities.
And if you feel the need to roll the shoulders,
Stretch them out,
Move your hands,
Your wrists to allow that energy to flow through the arms and remove any weight that you're carrying.
As it moves through the hands,
It jumps back up to the chest and starts to clear out the upper chest.
Any anxiety,
Any heaviness we feel in the top of the chest,
We're removing that now.
We're clearing it.
It's being lifted from you.
You need to breathe heavier in that breath.
Allow it to flow through you.
The energy is moving down to your heart.
And removing any blockages or heaviness you're feeling within the chest.
Any pain,
Any grief,
Any loss,
Any heartache.
This light is cleansing and clearing that heaviness.
Removing any hardness of a shell that you might have added to protect your heart.
The light is removing its force and bringing a new protective energy to your heart.
Allowing you to be safe and protected but softened in the heart.
Cleansing and clearing through the breath and through the light.
The light is moving down into your gut.
Helping to eliminate any gut feelings,
Any expressions of intuition that need to come through.
But also removing any stagnancy within the gut.
Digestive issues,
Anything that's not flowing.
The light is moving through your small intestine and helping to cleanse and stack there.
And as it moves through the gut,
It also moves through the back of the body.
The liver,
The kidneys,
The organs in that area to help bring cleansing and clearing to the back,
To the spine,
To the ribs.
This light is all encompassing and clearing for the body.
Allow it to be.
Allow yourself to move and breathe and flow with no judgment.
The light is moving now down to the stomach,
To the intestines,
The large intestine.
Clearing out anything in the digestion that needs to be moved.
Purifying and cleansing the flow of energy to your digestive tract.
To the butterflies or the anxiety that you feel within the tummy.
Allow this light to clear it for you.
Allow it to bring peace and healing.
And as the light moves down to the ovaries or to the genital area,
Allow it to cleanse any stuck and stagnant sexual energy.
Any energy that's not yours.
Cleansing and clearing your creative space.
The power that you hold in your sacral chakra.
Allow this to move the energy.
Allow it to harness your creative power.
Your feminine or your masculine drive.
Your power center.
As it cleanses and clears through this area.
And as you step away from the silhouette,
From your bird's eye point of view,
You'll notice that three quarters of the body are full of light.
That your body is full all the way to your hips.
With new light,
New energy,
And new being.
The light is moving down to the hips now.
Clearing any energy that's stagnant that we feel.
And if you feel called to it,
You can bend your knees and start to sway them like you're skiing or ice skating.
Putting the knees together to help to open up those hips simultaneously.
Continuing with your breath,
The we lull almost through.
Feeling the light move through the hips.
And removing that stagnant energy that we hold.
Moving down the quads,
The hamstrings.
Shining light into the places that we walk towards.
The guidance that we're looking for.
The direction that we're moving in.
Allow the energy to flow.
And move through you.
The light is moving down behind your knees.
Removing any impurities or tension.
That holds behind the knee.
The knee holds a lot of weight.
So when we clear it,
It helps clear the pain of the hips,
The ankles,
And the feet.
Allowing the light to clear behind the knees.
Moving to the calves and to the shins.
And clearing it out.
And as the light cleanses and clears the legs.
Imagine that this light is starting to spiral almost like a tornado or a screw.
And it's starting to physically ground you into the earth.
As the light moves down to your ankles.
It's starting to get thicker and stronger and more sturdy.
Grounding you into the physical earth.
Cleansing and clearing the ankles.
If you feel you want to move them around,
Feel free.
And we're going to take now our natural cycle of breath.
Coming back to breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
As this light screws right into the ground.
Grounding us completely.
Cleansing and clearing our feet and our toes.
Helping us to move into the direction that we choose.
And when you step away from the body,
You notice it's full of light.
A new battery pack has been charged.
You are newly cleansed with beautiful,
Bright,
Healing energy.
And now that we have connected both to the earth and to the universe.
I invite you to ask your body and your higher self.
What wisdom do you have for me today?
What answers do you have for me?
And as you allow your mind to drift and wander.
Continuing your natural cycle of breath.
I invite you to listen to the body.
While it guides you and clarifies any answers that you may need.
