This is a guided practice to help you tap into your personal power, connect with your ego and help shift it from fear-based to having your back and supporting you going forward. I encourage you to stand for this practice and be really present in your body. Connect with the earth and yourself to tap into your personal magic and access the power that's available to you. (Note: Curse words are used in this practice) Would love to hear about how this practice works for you. Happy practicing!

Transcript

For this practice,

I invite you to stand or be seated in a way that allows you to plant your feet on the floor.

To begin with,

I would like you to get really grounded in your feet.

So,

If you're standing or you're sitting,

Moving back and forth a little bit,

Side to side,

Get the weight on your feet evenly distributed from front to back and side to side so you're really solidly supported and connected with the earth.

And then coming up through your body,

If you're standing,

Legs engaged but knees slightly soft,

You don't want them locked out.

Being seated or standing,

Having your hips in a neutral position so your upper body can just rise straight up from there.

So,

Shoulders stacked over your hips,

Your navel slightly pulled in to support you,

Lifting up through the chest,

Shoulders gently relaxed back and down,

Lifting up through the crown of your head,

Chin maybe slightly tucked to keep everything in line.

I invite you then to bring your hands to your hips,

Sort of think like a superhero pose,

Creating a sense of stability and power in your body.

I invite you here now to find a spot to focus your gaze on or to close your eyes and bring your attention fully into your body,

Tuning into your breath,

Slowing it down a little,

Inviting it to become a little bit deeper with each inhale,

Gently releasing the exhale,

Deep gentle breaths,

Bringing them deep into your belly,

And a gentle release with the exhale,

No force,

Just connecting with yourself,

Feeling the groundedness through your feet,

Through your seat if you are sitting,

And the rise through your upper body as you connect with the cosmos energy,

Bringing your breath deep into your belly,

Bringing your attention there,

Bringing your attention to your gut,

That insight and knowledge,

That inner knowing,

Connect with that sensation for a moment,

Connect with that piece of you.

Bringing your attention up into your heart space,

Connecting with your emotions,

Your ability to connect with others,

To love,

To show compassion and care,

Taking a few breaths into this space to really connect with this part of you,

And bringing your attention up to your head,

Into the space between your eyebrows,

The seat of our third eye and our intuition,

Connecting with that knowing and intellectual knowledge that you carry,

Taking a moment here.

Now I invite you to bring your attention to all three spaces,

Connecting your brain,

Your heart and your gut,

Bringing this all solidly together,

Feeling this power and support that you carry within you,

Knowing that you are the expert in your own life.

You are solidly grounded in the earth,

Well also connected to the cosmos and the universe,

You are made of stardust and your personal magic.

Now from the solid place of your personal magic and inner power,

I invite you to imagine a mirror in front of you,

A full-length mirror that you can see all of you in.

Now in this mirror,

I invite you to place your ego and the fears and limiting beliefs that go along with it.

So we know that our ego's role is to keep us safe,

That's what it wants to do,

It wants to protect us,

It wants to prevent us from getting hurt or being scared,

But the ego is always running on outdated information.

It only knows the past,

It doesn't know the present as it's learning it,

It doesn't know the future.

So it's running an old story.

So I want you to take a moment and really just like look at this part of you,

Connect with this part of you,

Facing it in the mirror,

And I want you to thank it,

Saying thank you for keeping me safe,

Thank you for all of the hard work you have done over the years,

I am so grateful you have been here for me and with me.

Now with a deep breath,

Pulling fully up into your posture again,

Lifting through the head and the chest,

I want you to tell your ego this,

Your job has changed,

I appreciate everything you have done and I am moving you into a different position now.

I am letting go of the fear,

I am letting go of the limits and I need you to have my back.

Take another deep breath here,

Lifting through the chest,

Lifting through the top of your head,

Standing tall and solid in your power.

And with an exhale,

I want you to move this mirror behind you,

So that your ego literally has your back.

Knowing the support is always there for you,

You have the strength to tap in and you are now taking the wheel,

You are taking full control of what happens next.

Deep breath in,

Feeling fully grounded in your feet,

Exhale letting go of fears,

Deep breath in,

Lifting through the chest,

Rising through the upper body,

Connecting with the cosmic energy,

Exhale releasing any unnecessary limits,

Or really releasing all limits.

There are very few things that are absolutely necessary in that sense.

Breathing deep into this personal power,

Bringing this confidence in,

Even if right now it feels imaginary,

That's okay,

That's where everything starts.

So tapping into the beauty of imagination of what's possible.

What if,

What if you succeed,

What if your dreams come true,

What if you just take that first step?

You are grounded,

You are connected to the entire universe and you have your back.

You are the Goddess,

The God,

The Divine,

The expert in your own life,

You fucking got this.

Deep breath in,

Gentle exhale,

Stand in this energy and this power and just breathe.

You are the expert in your life,

You know what you need to do for you,

You're the one who knows what's best,

What your next step is.

Trust that,

Be open to the gut feeling and the intuition and how your heart feels.

Is your heart wide open saying fuck yes,

This is what we need to do.

Pay attention to that.

It's your soul speaking,

It is the higher planes,

The higher levels,

The direction you are meant to go,

To become the person you are meant to become,

To do what you were made to do in this lifetime.

Begin the journey with a single step,

Begin with faith in yourself and faith that whatever is meant to be will come and you have everything you need to face anything this life throws at you.

Solidly grounded in your feet,

Lifting through the upper body,

Chest open,

Shoulders relaxed,

Looking straight ahead to see what possibilities await you.

When you are ready,

Slowly beginning to come back to your present space,

This present moment,

Carrying this power we have tapped into with you,

Knowing that you can tap into it at any time and it is always with you.

We will take three deep breaths together here,

Inhale through the nose,

Exhale out the mouth,

Releasing anything that no longer serves you,

Inhale.

One more time together.

Thank you for joining me for this practice.

I am super grateful to be your guide,

I hope you found this a benefit and that you can carry this sense of power and confidence and support with you.

Thank you for being in practice and in community and we will see you again soon.
