Hi there,

Welcome.

My name is Allison McLean.

I help wellness practitioners grow their business while caring for themselves and enjoying life in the process.

Today I'm going to lead you through a root chakra meditation to help you as a practitioner and business owner.

Even if you're a solopreneur or you quote unquote just teach yoga classes,

Consider,

Tie this on.

You are an entrepreneur.

You are a business owner.

Use this meditation to guide you through journaling,

Visualization for the next month.

This process will help you to engrain new habits and patterns so you can support yourself and know the universe will support and guide you along the way as well.

You do good work in the world.

More people need to know your services exist and at the same time you need to continue to replenish and refill your cup.

This meditation will help to prevent burnout by reducing stress and increasing trust and belief with yourself as a practitioner and your capabilities as a business owner.

This meditation will help to provide focus,

Clarity and more energy so you always know your next best steps to take.

And when failure and disappointment happens,

Because life does happen at times,

You know you'll get through it with grace and ease.

It's time to release and trust.

It's time to ground into the present moment.

To complement this meditation,

You can use a grounding stone like hematite or red jasper or essential oil like sandalwood or patchouli.

Find yourself in a comfortable seated position or even lying supine on your back or in a restorative position that serves you.

It might serve you to have a journal,

A piece of paper,

A pen handy.

Maybe you listen to this meditation through once in its entirety,

Just soaking it in,

Just listening,

Just being.

And then you listen in it again,

Taking notes on the questions and writing out your answers.

You can listen to this multiple times doing both to keep you grounded into the present moment,

To keep your nervous system calm,

Smooth,

So you can access your creativity,

Your resourcefulness on any given day.

Allow your top eyelid to close and meet the bottom.

Start to notice the sensations of this present moment.

Maybe your sit bones and the seated support,

Your skin upon the earth,

The sensation of air against your skin.

Bring your awareness to your breath without manipulating or forcing,

Just observing what happens on the inhale,

Noticing the quality,

The texture of the exhale.

Allowing it to be as it will.

This work from the root chakra,

As a practitioner,

As a business owner,

Is learning how to slow down,

How to trust,

How to develop a sense of safety and sufficiency day to day,

Moment to moment.

Embodying this so you can hold space for the students,

The clients that you work with.

It's learning how to trust yourself,

Trust the universe,

To believe that you have the capabilities to help others,

To know deep down in your soul that you are worthy.

You make an impact.

Bring your awareness to the root chakra region,

Low,

Deep at the bottom of your pelvic bowl.

What color is it?

Can you detect the frequency of its vibration?

Maybe the spin.

Are there any blocks,

Dark colors,

Negative emotions?

Notice the baseline in this present moment right now.

As you sense this root chakra,

Also bring your awareness to your business.

Where in your business does fear show up and why?

For example,

It might be when you think about marketing or going to make a post on social media or show up to a networking event.

Unconsciously,

You might not feel safe.

Unconsciously,

You might be worried or have a fear about being judged or criticized or what someone might say.

You might have doubt about your creativity,

About what you're writing,

About what you're posting.

When you think of these emotions,

These thoughts about your business or an area that you do have fears,

Worries,

Where do you feel this in your body?

How does it show up?

Do you clench your teeth?

Grip through your abdomen or pelvis?

Clench your hip muscles,

Your thigh muscles?

Do your shoulders come by your ears?

Does the quality of your breath change,

Become quicker,

Shorter,

More shallow?

What is it for you?

Notice how it presents.

This awareness is a key step because if you can begin to feel this in your body,

Number one you can become aware of when this is presenting in your day to day and where you might avoid certain activities that could benefit you and your business out of fear.

You can learn to be with the discomfort of the negative emotions,

Process them if they need processing through.

Or learn how to show up with the fear,

Not allow the fear,

The doubts,

The worries to be the driver.

How is this possible?

How could it benefit you and your business to show up despite the fear?

And what will you do afterwards?

So for example,

If you are to teach a new class,

Lead a workshop on a new topic or your very first workshop,

It's normal to be nervous.

It's normal to feel a little fear,

To feel your sympathetic nervous system kick up a notch.

But how can you support yourself afterwards to reground,

To reconnect,

To let those emotions process through?

Write down your answers.

Write down some of your fears,

Your worries when it comes to your practitioner skills,

When it comes to business skills.

Write them down.

Get them out of your head.

By keeping them in your head and allowing it to spin in the background throughout your day to day,

This can be a huge energy leak.

Let's empty all that out.

Notice if there's any additional layers of shame,

Criticism,

Judgment for yourself.

Let that go.

It doesn't serve you.

We all have fears.

We all have worries.

Right now,

This is the opportunity to find solutions,

The opportunity to release what no longer serves you.

Another question to consider.

Where in your life and or business might there be an energy leak?

But you don't feel safe to make a change.

So for example,

When I was a yoga teacher and had my own brick and mortar physical therapy and yoga practice,

I was also driving all around town,

Racing from class to class,

Patient to patient,

Patient to client,

Leading workshops and trainings on the weekend.

I was tired.

I was exhausted.

But I was scared to make a change in my schedule,

To let go of the weekend trainings,

The yoga teacher trainings I was leading,

To let go of the workshops,

Because I thought my business would collapse.

It's so dramatic.

It took my own health diagnosis.

It took my daughter telling me one Sunday when I came home from leading an anatomy session,

Mommy,

I miss you.

It took a lot for me to finally get out of my comfort zone,

For me to move past this growth edge,

To make the change of letting go working evenings and weekends so I could be with my family more,

So I could take care of myself more.

And you know what happened?

My business exploded.

It grew faster.

I was holding myself back out of fear.

What is it for you?

What's that nudge your intuition is telling you?

A change is needed.

Write it down.

Are you able to make this change now?

What would be needed?

How could this change actually help your business?

Help your health?

Create more time freedom.

Create more connection time with your family.

I work with a lot of practitioners where we really focus on this and the energy behind all that they're doing day to day.

So they end up doing what they really desire with full belief and trust.

They finally are able to let go of the things that they were doing out of fear and shoulds.

For you,

Where can you find the strength and sufficiency to do things the way you feel called?

What is it?

Write it down.

What does this mean to you?

Now we will create some beliefs and evidence to be anchor points when old fears and worries want to come back in.

What do you know to be true about your practitioner skills?

How many people have you helped?

How many lives have you changed?

Write it all down.

Write down all the trainings you've taken,

All the experience you've gone through.

How are you an amazing practitioner right now?

What about your business skills?

How are you already a successful entrepreneur?

How is it true that when you've trusted your intuition,

Those nudges,

Guidance in the past,

That it's worked out exactly how it should?

Write down all the evidence that you have for the benefits of trusting your intuition.

What is a message your business wants you to hear right now?

Maybe it's been in the background,

But you haven't had the time to actually pause and write it down or pause and hear it.

How can you create safety and sufficiency right now for yourself and your business?

Where are you already supported?

How does the universe have your back?

How is this true?

In what ways do you have your own back?

How can you trust you more?

In how to fill up.

Allow these intentions,

This awareness,

These awakenings about yourself,

Your practitioner skills,

Your business skills to percolate into all your cells.

Inhale to fill up,

Exhale to release.

Inhale to trust,

Exhale breathing out the fears.

Repeat to yourself,

I am safe.

I am grounded.

I am calm.

I am supported.

I am trustworthy.

I am capable.

I am strong.

Pick one,

The one that resonates with you the most.

Repeat it a few times.

Bring your awareness back to that root chakra region.

Has the color changed?

The vibrational frequency?

Its spin?

Can you see its red glow?

Feel its strength,

Its energy?

Know that this work is accessible at any time.

Pick a few grounding phrases to come back to in times of challenge or embarking on new endeavors.

Times when you feel the fear but know the path is through.

Come back to this belief in you,

This trust with you and the universe.

It's always here.

You are safe.

You are supported.

Bye for now.
