Hello,
This is Kip with the Hollister Institute.
Welcome.
In today's meditation aligning your energy for peak performance,
We're going to focus on opening up your chakras so that you may move forward in this day and generate and be tuned in to your energy center.
So before we begin,
Make sure you're in a comfortable position and gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And presence yourself to this moment,
Releasing any energies,
Any anxiety,
And bring your awareness to your breath.
And simply watch your breath as if you're riding a wave.
Ride the wave of your breath for a couple of moments.
And as you're breathing,
Just notice,
Breathing from your stomach and notice how your stomach expands,
Your lungs expand,
And also notice the effortlessness of the breath.
And now I invite you to imagine yourself tall as an oak tree and imagine connecting down into the Earth's energy where the roots are deep and wide.
And allow this energy to pour up through your feet and then hover right around the base of your spine.
And breathe deeply into this root and imagine the color red and allow this to gently and softly expand on your breath,
Taking in nourishment and life force energy.
Imagine being grounded with the Earth and all the nutrients,
Feeling empowered,
Embodying the grace of this moment,
And really grounding you in the here and now.
And be aware that thoughts are part of the process.
When thoughts arise,
Simply observe them as if they are puffy clouds passing in the sky and then bring your awareness back to the base of your spine as you breathe in the most beautiful color red.
And as you presence yourself to this moment,
Repeat the words that the Earth supports me and grounds me.
And now allow this energetic red to move up to your belly just below your navel.
And allow this red to turn in to the most beautiful color of orange.
You may want to picture a setting sun and its beauty.
And this is your energy center where your emotional intelligence lies,
Your creativity,
Your movement,
Your pleasure.
And allow this orange to just circle and blend right around your belly button.
We all are creative forces and be open to what lies ahead in your creativity.
And now allow this beautiful orange to move just an inch above your belly button.
And this orange turns into a beautiful yellow,
Powerful yellow just like the sun,
Warming you,
Bathing you,
Replenishing you,
Restoring and nurturing you.
And repeat the words,
I value myself.
I am enough.
I am more than enough.
I am worthy.
Imagine leading your life in this way each and every moment of the day.
And now allow this beautiful yellow to move up to your heart.
And as you breathe in,
Breathe in the color green,
Symbolizing nourishment,
Healing,
Renewal,
And love.
And in this moment,
Just open up your heart and repeat the words,
I am loving.
I am lovable.
I am loved.
I am nourished by the power of love.
Imagine letting love lead in every decision you make and in every interaction you have today.
What will be possible?
And allowing this beautiful green to move up to your throat.
And as you breathe in,
Breathe in the most beautiful color of blue.
Maybe you visualize the ocean or maybe a gorgeous blue sky.
And allow this blue to circle and blend right around your throat,
The area of full self-expression,
And take a few deep breaths into expanding this area of blue.
Softening your need to control,
Yet freeing you to be fully self-expressed.
And say the words,
I hear and speak my truth.
I express myself freely.
I move and move with the flow of life.
I communicate with great love.
I am open to listening.
I am open to not needing to be right.
And allow this beautiful blue to move up and center right between your eyebrows.
And picture the most beautiful color of indigo.
This is your third eye representing your intuition.
We all are the most intuitive beings.
Allow this area to soothe and balance and bring clarity in this moment.
Allow yourself to gain from insight and understanding.
And repeat the words,
Everything is unfolding as it should.
And allow this indigo to move up to the crown of your head and visualize the most beautiful color purple.
And repeat the words,
I am one with the whole.
I am an integrated being of light.
I bring my entire self to this day with ease and abundance and gratitude.
And now allow this beautiful purple to spread out of the crown of your head into the sky.
And picture the most beautiful white light connecting back down to the earth and aligning you.
Enabling you to allow this energy to be your leader in this day ahead.
Giving you wisdom and insight.
Giving you awareness and love and truth.
And now I ask you to come back into your space.
And take two deep cleansing breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And bring your awareness back to your breath.
And may you lead into this day with a sense of purpose and love and appreciation.
And when you are ready,
You may gently and slowly open your eyes.
Namaste.
