Welcome.
Today's meditation focuses on cultivating clarity and confidence by activating the third chakra.
Known as the Manipura or solar plexus chakra,
This energy center is located just above the navel and is the source of our personal power,
Focus,
And will.
Its vivid yellow color eliminates negative energy and empowers us to follow our true path with confidence and ease.
This center must be activated regularly so that our lives can flow smoothly and we can be at our best.
So let's activate this center now.
I invite you to find a comfortable position either seated or lying down.
Once you're settled in,
Allow your eyelids to gently float closed.
Bring your awareness to the body by taking a few deep breaths,
Breathing in fully through the nose and exhaling slowly through the mouth.
Notice how the chest and belly expand with each inhale and notice how the body softens with every exhale.
Now let your breath return to its natural rhythm.
Starting at the top of the head,
We're going to take some time to scan downwards through the body,
Noticing any areas of tension or discomfort,
But also noticing any areas that feel at ease.
Begin by relaxing the muscles in the forehead,
The temples,
And the jaw.
Release any tension in the neck by allowing the shoulders to gently drop down.
Notice any sensations in the arms and hands.
Let them be soft and relaxed.
Softening the ribcage,
Allowing the heart to be open.
Relaxing the muscles in the back,
Sides,
And belly,
Allowing the breath to flow deeply and freely.
Don't worry if the mind wanders as it will,
Just gently bring the attention back to the body as you continue to breathe and continue to scan on your own now,
Down through to the toes.
Releasing,
Relaxing,
And softening as you begin to deepen into stillness.
Now visualize a shining yellow sphere radiating from your solar plexus chakra,
Approximately two inches above your belly button.
If it's comfortable for you,
Bring your hands to rest upon this space.
With each breath,
Imagine sunlight entering your body and going straight to this area,
Making the sphere grow bigger and brighter,
Awakening your inner power and potential.
Breathe in calmness and let go of anxiety.
Breathe in clarity and let go of uncertainty.
Breathe in courage and let go of fear and negativity.
Take a few breaths on your own now and watch the light expand to fill your body.
Feel yourself becoming more centered and grounded with every passing breath.
Feel your inner fire beginning to ignite as the light expands beyond your body now into the space around you.
Let the warmth and energy of this light flow through you,
Bringing you strength,
Clarity,
And confidence.
Let's stay in this space for a moment,
Letting the breath be natural as we soak up this new energy we have just created.
Let this energy burn away whatever is no longer serving you,
Including limiting beliefs,
Attitudes,
Ideas,
And behaviors.
As you continue to breathe naturally,
Repeat the following phrases silently or out loud.
I am strong.
I am aware of my personal power and potential.
I am worthy of being loved,
Respected,
And listened to.
I believe in myself and my ability to succeed.
I am focused and I am fearless.
Stay with these thoughts for a moment and allow them to resonate with you.
As we near the end of this practice,
Allow your awareness to come back to the body now.
Finding subtle movements in the fingers and toes,
Perhaps having a gentle full body stretch.
As you are ready,
Slowly opening your eyes,
Keeping the gaze soft and becoming aware of your surroundings.
The solar plexus chakra is the source of our inner strength and vitality.
When it is active and balanced,
We are focused and confident,
Clear on our purpose and our path in life.
By activating this area on a regular basis,
You will tap into your natural ability to move forward confidently in life,
Make better choices,
And manifest what you desire.
I wish you a day filled with clarity and confidence.
Until next time.
