The body is the vehicle,
Consciousness the driver.
Yoga is the path and the chakras are the map.
Anodya Judith Get comfortable wherever you are,
Sitting on the floor,
On a chair or lying down.
And when ready,
Close your eyes,
Rest your hands on your lap,
Your palms facing up as it helps you receive energy from the divine.
Take a few deep breaths,
Breathing in and out slowly.
At the top of each breath,
Hold your breath for 3 seconds and then exhale.
When you complete 3 long and deep breaths with 3 seconds of holding in between,
Go back to your natural rhythm of breathing.
Now bring your awareness to the top of your head,
To your crown chakra,
Your chakra of oneness.
This chakra is the union of yourself and the divine.
Visualize a lotus blossom appearing at the top of your head.
As you continue to breathe in and out,
This lotus begins to bloom.
Imagine that every breath fills the lotus with energy and every out breath opens the flower more and more,
Revealing a gorgeous violet light above the crown of your head.
This light softly bathes your crown,
Balancing,
Restoring,
Harmonizing your connection with divine.
You begin to feel the warmth spreading over the crown of your head.
Allow this warmth to expand and flow downward,
Moving freely throughout your entire body.
As you continue to visualize the lotus with the violet light overflowing from it,
Allow your crown chakra to take what it needs.
Now repeat after me.
Now allow a moment of silence,
Feeling the grace of this connection to all that is.
Know that you are one with all that is.
Know that the universe,
Source,
God or whatever your belief system allows is within you,
Above you,
Below you,
All around you.
You are one with all that is.
It's time to leave your crown chakra and return to yourself as a whole,
Back to the ebb and flow of your breath,
Back to your center.
Breathe into your core and repeat after me three times.
I am whole.
I am perfect,
Just as I am.
I am whole.
I am perfect,
Just as I am.
Now allow the energy of the words you recited with me to bathe your body,
Mind,
Emotions and spirit.
Allow your crown chakra to take what you need.
And in your own time,
Become aware of the air on the surface of your body,
The sounds around you,
Near and in the distance.
Become aware of the support beneath you.
Notice how you feel and hold yourself with loving kindness for the beautiful,
Unique being that you are.
When you're ready,
Wiggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes.
May love,
Light and blessings come with the closing of this meditation.
From my heart to yours,
With all my love and gratitude.
Namaste
