Hello,
My name is Jason Stevenson and welcome to this talk down sleep meditation that will help you to release subconscious blockages and clear negative energy from mind,
Body and spirit.
By setting a powerful intention to release and to clear,
And by harnessing the potential of empowered visualization,
You will shift your entire field of energy before surrendering into a deep and restorative sleep.
Know that there is nothing you need to actively make happen during this practice.
Simply open your heart and mind to the processes that naturally and gently unfolds.
To begin this meditation,
Bring yourself to a resting position that will be conducive of your deep sleep.
Take a moment to adjust yourself to maximum comfort and then close your eyes when you are ready.
Open your heart space and gently soften your shoulders and then turn your attention to the natural rhythm of your breath.
Using the breath as an anchor for your attention for just a few moments,
Allow your mind to come away from the world of thoughts and into what is right here,
Into the physical body and the breath that moves through it.
Notice the way your body expands and softens with each breath,
Nourished by each cycle that moves through you.
Now let your awareness broaden to include the surface beneath you,
Noting what it feels like to be held against the physical world,
And then sink into the silence that lives beneath the mind,
Letting the breath and body continually bring you back to what is most immediate.
If you notice distractive,
Negative or limiting thoughts arise in your mind,
Refrain from arguing with them or judging them.
Simply acknowledge their presence by silently whispering,
It's okay,
I see you.
Nothing more and nothing less,
Just coming back to the breath and body again and again.
Now through this process of releasing blockages and clearing ourselves of negative energy,
It is important to remember that we do not need to push anything away,
Rather we are invited to gently open up to the natural process of surrender.
This is about effortlessly and intuitively letting go and freeing ourselves.
Force is not required for this process.
When we take on an energy of force,
We are very subtly saying to ourselves that we are not good enough the way we are.
Instead,
By gently surrendering and easing blockages,
We hold our present self in an energy of love and compassion,
An energy that is in alignment with the qualities beliefs and actions we truly wish to cultivate.
So as we move through this meditation,
Remember that subtle and soft changes are just as,
If not more effective than those that occur through force.
Let your compassionate and curious heart guide you,
Opening up with trust to the universal law of change.
Now before we move into a visualization that will help us to transform the subconscious blockages and negative energy patterns within us,
Let us take a moment to solidify our intention to really hone in on our heartfelt yearning to release all that limits us.
Take a moment to come back to your breath now as it moves into and out of your heart space.
With each breath in,
Imagine the love,
Strength and courage of your heart expanding.
And with each breath out,
Witness old stories held within the heart beginning to soften.
Remember you do not need to force anything to leave your body or mind.
Simply allow each breath to support you in this process of expansion and letting go.
Now take a moment to hone in on the courage,
Strength and love that radiates out from your heart.
And then take a few moments of silence to set an intention in your own words to surrender and clear away any inner blockages that do not serve you.
And when you are finished,
Come back to your breath and silently repeat the words,
Change is possible.
Clearing is happening.
I am ready to let go.
I am beginning to release.
Soften your belly now.
Relax your mind space and come back to the silence within you as you take just a couple of deep cleansing breaths before we move into the next phase of this journey.
Now take a moment to tune into the mind's eye,
Noticing the open canvas that is stretched out before your closed eyes.
And now upon this canvas,
I invite you to imagine that you are resting on your back in an open meadow.
The sky above you holds scattered clouds and the grassy landscape around you is adorned with delicate pastel flower blossoms.
The light breeze brushes across your body,
Guiding you to breathe a bit deeper now.
And the sun,
Perched in the late afternoon sky,
Casts a gold,
Healing glow upon the land.
You feel into each inch of your body that is in contact with the fertile earth,
Feeling entirely supported by the world you are a part of.
You consider the wisdom of the earth,
Its infinite cycles,
Its healing powers,
And its intricate systems that contribute to the well-being of all.
And as you rest your back upon the earth,
You consider its capacity to support you now,
To guide you deeper into the process of release.
With the gold,
Healing glow of the sun upon you,
You open your mind to the potential of this natural light to help you unravel the subconscious blockages within.
You begin by drawing your attention to the crown of your head and to your third eye,
Feeling the warm light of the sun,
Relaxing the muscles around your forehead,
Your eyes,
And your eyebrows.
And as the light enters you here,
It begins to dissolve any blockages of the mind that have been holding you back from seeing your true potential,
Your true worth,
And your true radiance.
Slowly you scan your body downwards,
Allowing the gold light to soften and dissolve all other energy centers in your body.
First it passes through to the throat space,
Helping to ease any energetic blockages stored in and around this part of you.
Let your exhalation facilitate this softening process.
Continuing downwards along your midline,
The sun's glow rests upon your heart,
Further unraveling any subconscious and unnecessary held tensions around this space.
As it continues down your spine,
It lands in your belly,
Helping you to soften any contraction held here.
With each full breath of light that flows into your core,
Tensions and blockages stored here begin to unknot themselves.
You watch as this healing light centers now in the space between your hip bones.
As golden energy fills this part of you,
It frees up any imbalance that might be held here.
And then this light roots itself in the base of your spine,
Grounding you deeply into the earth beneath you.
You feel stable,
Secure and centered,
Ready to fully release all that has limited you.
You trust that you are unconditionally supported in this process of surrender and expansion.
The sun's light permeates through every cell of your being,
Filling both arms and legs as well.
And as you witness yourself being bathed in this healing glow of the earth's most precious star,
You realize that you do not need to try to control this process of letting go.
Your body,
Mind and heart naturally support you in this.
Take a long deep breath in,
Releasing with a sigh and then opening your attention to the sounds and sights of the meadow around you.
The sun is closer to the horizon now,
Soon it will set completely for the day.
Your entire being feels deeply tranquil now,
And so you long for a place where you can rest for the coming night.
Gently,
You envision yourself rising to your feet and making your way through the valley in the direction of a small,
Shimmering lake.
Your entire body feels lighter and your mind freer.
Something within you has shifted,
Though it is difficult to put your finger on what that is.
Thoughts and feelings may have been released,
You sense your energetic body has shifted as well.
You feel calmer,
More centered and more aligned with your inner wisdom.
Your feet tread lightly through the open field and soon,
Not far from you now,
A small cabin appears in the trees by the lake.
It calls out your name in silence and so you make your way towards it with curiosity and gratitude.
You arrive at its front door just as the sun is slipping behind the trees.
The warm light of the sun has disappeared now,
But it has left a vibrant pink and amber glow behind.
The colors of dusk signal to you that tomorrow will be a beautiful day,
An opportunity to begin anew.
You reach for the handle and slowly make your way inside.
It is warm and cozy within these rustic walls,
The smell of cedar hovering in the air.
You take off your shoes and journey over down to the main hallway,
Into the grand living space with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the pristine lake.
Your entire body softens as you sink into the peace and tranquility of this cabin and its surroundings.
In the center of the room,
A fireplace rests.
Its chimney rises up to the high ceiling and through it.
You step towards it and notice that it is prepped to be lit.
Next to the fireplace,
A matchbox rests and so you take out a single matchstick,
Pull open the glass door of the wood-burning stove and ignite the collection of crumbled newspaper and twigs that sits inside.
You are entering into the final stage of this journey,
Facilitated by the transformative power of fire.
You take a seat on the couch that sits before the fire and as you gaze into the roaring flames,
You reflect upon all that has held you back from being all that you are.
All the stories,
All the unconscious tension and all the limiting beliefs.
You realize that you might not be consciously aware of all the factors that have held you back from whatever it is you wish to have experienced.
But you recognize that it is not necessary to consciously understand all blockages in order to shed them.
It is through an open heart,
Not a rational mind,
That we surrender,
Let go and allow for clearing to occur.
Beside you,
A small notepad and pen rest.
You pick it up and consider if there's anything you'd like to consciously let go of by writing down words or sentiments and tossing this written expression into the fire.
You might write down a limiting belief that you hold an unhelpful habit you have whose roots are unknown or anything else that is a sign of an inner blockage.
Just take a few moments of silence now to envision yourself writing down any words or sentences of what you long to release tonight.
Invite care and tenderness to pervade this process.
When you are ready,
You tear out the sheet of paper that you will hand over to the fire.
You pull open the glass door panel once again.
And when you are ready to surrender completely,
You toss these handwritten words into the fire for transformation.
The paper becomes consumed by the marigold and amber flames,
Mirroring the truth that something within your energetic body dissolves alongside it.
Notice whatever it feels like to surrender these words to the fire,
Knowing that this can be anywhere from liberating to deeply challenging.
Hold yourself lovingly and tenderly as you watch the fire transform your final intentions to release and clear.
You take a couple of long deep breaths now,
Finding your stable center and the quiet peace within you.
And then you come to rest your body on the couch before the fire.
Wrapping yourself in a blanket and placing a pillow beneath your head,
You let yourself surrender into the surface beneath you.
Darkness falls upon the world beyond the window,
And the only light still present is that which radiates out from the wood-burning stove in the center of the cabin.
You watch the roaring flames as they slowly dissipate,
Soon dwindling down to hot rocky embers.
The embers cast a soft glow upon the room,
Subtle enough to help you drift closer towards a deep and transformative sleep.
Your eyes shut now to the cabin and the burning embers as you tune back into the surface that supports you in this reality.
Invite your entire being to surrender into the mattress or other surface beneath you,
Coming back to that steady anchor of your breath to guide you naturally into slumber.
And as you drift off,
Allow the following words to flow through you.
As these affirmations mingle with your subconscious mind,
They will continue this transformative process of undoing the blockages that do not serve your highest energetic potential.
I let go of what does not serve me.
I am aligned with my highest potential.
I release negativity with grace and ease.
I empower myself through positive thinking.
There is nothing I cannot accomplish.
I am radiant,
Resilient and growing.
I surrender what does not belong to me.
Positive energy flows through me with ease.
I am confident,
Courageous and empowered.
My mind is open and my heart is balanced.
I am attuned to what I need in each moment.
I am wise and intuitive.
My body,
Mind and heart are aligned.
I inhale trust and exhale fear.
I am open to deep and authentic transformation.
I trust the flow of the universe.
I surrender control and open to grace.
I always know how to return to balance.
I am a conduit of healing positive energy.
And until next time,
Goodnight my friend,
Goodnight.
