Hi,
This is Jenny Braav,
And today we're going to take a journey from a state of lack and fear to one of gratitude and trust.
I invite you to find a comfortable position.
You can be sitting or lying down,
Indoors or outdoors,
Where you can relax without distractions.
And when you feel settled,
I invite you to close your eyes or you can lower them and take a deep breath in through your nose.
And exhale slowly,
Either out your mouth or out your nose.
With each breath,
Feeling yourself dropping a little bit more deeply into your body,
Into this present moment.
And as you continue to feel deeply or as deeply as feels comfortable for you right now,
Begin to feel the surface beneath you that is supporting your body.
Noticing all of the points of contact with your body.
And as you do,
Begin to bring your awareness to the earth that is supporting you and your body,
Wherever you are now.
And start to feel,
Sense or imagine energetic roots going from your body into the earth,
All the way to the center of the earth.
And with each in-breath,
Sense,
Feel or imagine that you're bringing that energy up through the roots into your body.
Nourishing,
Grounding,
Settling,
Centering earth energy.
And feeling any other qualities or any colors,
Texture that comes with this energy for you.
And with each out-breath,
Invite anything you might be holding in your body to release back out down to the earth for recycling and composting.
And as you do,
Notice within you,
As you breathe out,
As you're releasing any residual feelings of lack or fear that may still be present or have been present.
And allowing these to be here for now without judgment,
If that feels accessible.
And you might picture or imagine these feelings as clouds passing through the sky of your mind.
Temporary visitors,
Which once acknowledged,
Can shapeshift or dissipate,
Especially with the help of the breath.
And we're going to take three breaths together.
One,
Inhaling.
And exhaling,
Imagine those clouds dissipating into the air around you.
One.
Two,
As you inhale.
And then exhale.
Release the weight of fear and lack as if they are drifting away,
Draining out of your body,
Carried by a gentle breeze.
And the third breath,
Inhale.
And exhaling,
Starting to feel later.
Feeling into the possibility that you are safe here.
In this moment.
And as you continue to breathe and drop in and make space,
Sense,
Feel,
Or imagine that this feeling of lightness and safety is starting to fill your heart with warmth and light.
And with each breath,
This warmth and light gets a little bit stronger.
Until it begins to radiate out and create a beautiful protective bubble around the heart.
And feeling your heart inside this beautiful bubble,
Begin to tap into the vibration of gratitude.
And if you wish to help you connect to this vibration,
This energy,
You can think of something,
It can be big or small,
That you are grateful for,
That brings you comfort.
Joy.
It can be a person,
A pet,
A place,
An experience,
An element,
A color.
And as you begin to connect with this,
Connecting to the energy of gratitude,
Appreciation,
Begin to fill your beautiful heart bubble with this energy.
Allowing it to expand to anything else you are feeling grateful for,
Including yourself,
Your surroundings,
The people and beings in your life.
And as you tap into more gratitude,
Feel this energy start to radiate from your heart center to the rest of your body.
Spreading into your head and neural pathways,
Permeating your thoughts with gratitude and care.
Spreading into your nervous system,
Dissolving any stress hormones and fight or flight activation.
Spreading into your bones,
Muscles,
Lymph,
Into your tissues,
Permeating each one of your organs.
And as this energy of gratitude and love continues to spread through your whole body into every cell of your body,
Feel it spreading into your skin and starting to light up your skin.
And radiating back out into your energy field and waves of golden light.
And as it does,
I invite you to say out loud or in your head any of the following that resonates with you.
I'm releasing the programming of fear and lack.
I'm tuning into the frequency of love and gratitude.
It is safe for me to trust in my journey.
I am supported.
Everything is unfolding for my highest good.
And as these affirmations echo through your being,
Feel the gold auric field around you glow even brighter until it envelops not just you but all those around you.
Friends,
Family,
Community,
The earth around you,
Animals and plants,
Spreading warmth and connection.
And when you're ready,
I invite you to begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment while retaining the sense of gratitude and trust within you.
Starting to wiggle your fingers,
Your toes,
Feeling the surface beneath you once more.
And taking a few more breaths together.
And when you're ready,
Opening your eyes slowly while keeping this feeling alive inside of you.
A reminder that gratitude and trust are always available to return to whenever needed.
Thank you for joining me in this meditation today.
And I invite you to carry this sense of love and gratitude with you throughout the rest of your day or evening.
