Welcome to your meditation practice.
I'm Kristen Fritz and this is a 10 minute meditation for revving up love,
Expanding your heart and your awareness so you can meet life's challenges with greater clarity,
Compassion and courage.
As we move through this practice,
I'll offer you some phrases and all you have to do is listen.
Or if you like,
Simply repeat these phrases to yourself.
But here's the key.
Really allow these phrases to land.
Soak them up and feel into them as we go.
As always,
We begin and end at the sound of the chime.
Begin by noticing yourself seated here in this moment and in this space.
Notice yourself breathing by connecting to the breath wherever you feel it most obviously.
So this could be the inflow and outflow of the breath at the nostrils,
The rise and fall of the chest or the filling and emptying of the belly.
Just connect with the breath where it's easiest for you and allow your awareness to gently follow each inhale and exhale as it flows.
And now gently drift your awareness to the point between your eyebrows.
This is what we call the third eye chakra and this is an energetic center for insight and clarity.
So allow your awareness to gently explore this area between the brows and intuitively arrive at the third eye.
Here you can activate a sense of receptivity,
A receptivity that's impartial and keenly observant.
It's here at the third eye that you can root your intention to truly know yourself by offering these phrases.
My mind is open.
I'm willing to set aside my preconceived ideas and beliefs.
Trusting that in this moment I'm still learning.
I'm willing to lean in with curiosity.
May I see more clearly through the eyes of love.
May I see more clearly through the eyes of love.
May I see more clearly through the eyes of love.
Through the eyes of love.
Gently drift your awareness now to the very core of your chest.
And this is what we call the heart chakra.
This is an energetic center for love and connection.
Allow your awareness to gently explore this area at the core of the chest and intuitively arrive at the heart center.
Here you can activate a sense of tenderness,
A tenderness that is deep and expansive.
It's here at the heart center that you can root your intention for unconditional love and kindness by offering these phrases.
My heart is open.
I'm willing to set aside my armor and lower my walls.
Trusting that in this moment I'm safe.
I'm willing to lean in with compassion.
May I love more deeply with an expansive heart.
May I love more deeply with an expansive heart.
And now gently drift your awareness to the navel or gut.
And this is what we call the solar plexus chakra and this is the heart chakra.
And now gently drift your awareness to the navel or gut.
And this is what we call the solar plexus chakra.
And this is an energetic center for confidence and personal power.
Allow your awareness to gently explore this area at the gut and intuitively arrive at the solar plexus center.
Here you can activate a sense of determination,
A determination that is formidable and unwavering.
It's here at the gut that you can root your intention for truth and justice by offering these phrases.
My will is open.
I'm willing to set aside my doubts and uncertainty.
Trusting that in this moment I am greater than my fears.
I'm willing to lean in with courage.
May I act more boldly in the name of love.
May I act more boldly in the name of love.
And finally placing both hands on your heart.
Reaffirming your sincere intentions to activate more love for yourself and others.
My mind is open.
My heart is open.
My will is open.
May I be curious,
Compassionate,
And courageous.
In this moment and on this day.
Namaste.
