Activating our inner sun.
So for this meditation,
You can be seated,
Standing,
Or lying down.
And so I'll just ask you to connect with yourself through a few slow breaths.
So take your breath in through the nose.
And sigh it out through the mouth.
And again,
In through the nose.
And saw it out.
One more time,
Let it all go.
Inhale big.
And I'm released.
And either closing the eyes or softening your gaze,
Bring your awareness to the center of your body,
Just below your heart at your solar plexus.
Imagine a small golden flame.
Ancient.
Study.
Radiant.
The original light you arrived with.
The light that has witnessed every season of your life.
Through joy and sorrow.
Through challenge and growth.
Through every chapter of becoming.
It has never left you.
With each breath,
Feel this flame grow stronger.
Expanding gently through your solar center.
Into your heart.
Your chest.
Your shoulders and arms.
Your bally.
Your legs and feet.
Your throat.
Your head.
Until your entire body is illuminated from within.
You're not creating this light.
You are strengthening it.
Strengthening your connection to what has always been present.
So just rest for a moment in the warmth of your own inner sun.
Feel its steady radiance.
It's quiet strength.
It's unwavering presence.
Now bring your awareness to your heart.
And notice if there's an intention you'd like to nurture.
Quality you would like to cultivate.
Or a prayer you would like to carry.
Perhaps it's peace.
Trust.
Joy,
Courage.
Clarity,
Compassion.
Or something else entirely.
You and allow it to rest gently in your heart.
You Now imagine your inner sun illuminating that intention.
Nourishing it.
Strengthening it.
And helping it take root within you.
See it becoming more alive with every breath.
And trust that what is meant to grow will grow.
In its own time.
In its own way.
Now allow this golden light to travel down through your spine.
Your roots.
Into the heart of Pachamama,
Mother Earth.
Offer your gratitude for the ground that supports you.
The water that nourishes you.
The air that sustains you.
And the countless gifts of life.
Now feel the earth respond.
Feel her love rise up through the roots beneath you.
Up through your body.
Returning once again to your heart.
Receiving as freely as you have given.
And above you.
Shines the great sun.
The same sun that nourishes the forests.
The rivers.
The mountains,
The oceans,
The flowers,
The same sun that has sustained life on this planet since the beginning.
And imagine a beam of radiant golden light descending from above.
Moving through the crown of your head.
And right into your heart.
Meeting the light already within you.
Sun above.
Sun within.
Feel the two lights meeting in your heart.
Merging,
Expanding.
And becoming one radiant sun.
And allow this light to grow beyond the boundaries of your body.
First surrounding and embracing you completely.
Like a radiant sphere of warmth,
Love,
And protection.
And just feel yourself held within your own light.
And now allow that light to expand even further beyond your home,
Beyond your community.
Beyond the edges of your everyday life.
See it connecting with the forests.
The oceans.
The mountains,
The deserts,
The sacred places of the earth.
The places where prayers have been whispered for generations.
And the places where the wisdom of the earth still lives.
Feel your light joining with the great luminous web that connects all life.
The stars above.
The earth below.
The rivers,
The animals.
The trees.
The beating hearts of countless beings.
And for a moment,
Remember that you are not separate from any of it.
You belong.
You are connected.
You are part of this living universe.
As your light continues to expand,
Allow it to become a blessing.
Offering healing.
Offering peace.
Offering compassion.
To the people of this earth.
To the waters.
To the forests.
To the animals.
To all beings everywhere.
May all beings be nourished.
May all beings be protected.
And may all beings remember their connection.
To the sacred.
And now gently begin to draw your awareness back towards yourself.
Not separate from the whole,
But as a unique expression of it.
And bring your awareness once again to your heart.
Feel the warmth of your activated inner sun.
Feel the steady presence of your own light.
Notice how it asks for nothing.
Proves nothing.
Force is nothing.
Like the sun itself.
It simply shines.
And take a moment to rest here.
Breathing.
Receiving.
Remembering.
Activating.
And allow this feeling to settle into your body.
Into your heart.
Into your nervous system.
Knowing that this light remains with you wherever you go.
Even on the difficult days.
Even when life feels busy.
Even when you forget.
It is always here.
A living source of wisdom.
Vitality.
Guidance.
And light.
Available whenever you choose to return to it.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And feel the breath filling your body with light.
And gently release.
One more breath.
Breathing in light.
Breathing out ease and then place a hand over your heart.
Feel the warmth beneath your palm.
And silently repeat.
I trust the light within me.
I activate my inner sun.
I am enough.
And carrying this feeling with you into the rest of your day or days or week.
And remember.
The light within you is enough.
Take one final breath.
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
