My name is Maya Eagle.
Thank you for joining me.
This meditation is about releasing pain,
Either energetic,
Emotional or physical pain that we store in the body.
If you can find a comfortable position that you can lay down in,
Somewhere that you're not going to be disturbed,
You may sit up if that's more comfortable for you.
This time is for you to relax and heal deeply.
Begin by bringing your full attention to your breath.
Feel the breath as it enters and exits your body.
Observe the inhalation.
Maybe you feel coolness in the nasal passages or feel your belly or chest rising.
Observe the exhalation.
This time you may sense a warmer flow of air through the nasal passages.
Feel the torso releasing,
Contracting.
You're going to take a few full,
Deep breaths to feel the entire torso all the way from the lower belly to the collarbones.
Let's begin.
Inhale through the nose and guide your breath down into the belly and then the chest all the way up to the top of the chest.
Pause and as the urge arises,
Allow the air to release from the mouth,
Exhaling fully.
And again,
Inhale through the nose into the belly,
The chest,
Expanding through the side ribs all the way up to the top of the chest.
Now take another sip of air at the top.
Pause and then as the urge arises,
Release.
One more.
Inhale into the belly,
Chest,
Side ribs,
Sip of air.
Pause and release.
Observe how your body feels in this moment.
The breath is a vehicle to releasing stored or held energy in the body.
During this meditation,
We will be doing a releasing breath and it can be done whenever you need to let go of anything.
It consists of inhaling through the nose and exhaling whatever the body needs to release.
It may mean making a sound like a sigh or a deep groan as you exhale and release.
Allow it to be whatever it is for you.
There is no right or wrong.
It may be different each time,
Depending on the sensations that arise throughout this practice.
And now I get super comfy.
Settle in and close down the eyes.
Scan the body slowly from the top of the head to the tips of the toes.
As you scan,
Observe the body for sensations.
Maybe you feel some density,
Some pain,
Heaviness,
Constriction,
Dullness,
Tingling.
Look internally and externally.
Does the sensation feel deep or on the surface?
When you find an area that stands out,
Draw all of your attention to this area and focus there.
Tune into the sensations that you feel.
Just observing,
Not trying to make sense of it.
Be present and witness.
Insert the intention that you will allow your body to release the pain,
Tension or stress that's being held here.
An example is I allow my body to release what is no longer serving me.
You may come up with something on your own.
Just repeat that intention three times.
Continue to focus your attention on the sensation as you draw breath into this space.
You may also like to place a hand on the area to help you focus.
Allow the sensation to be felt.
Allow it to shift,
Disperse,
Dissipate.
Give it room to move.
Take a few releasing breaths here as you tune into the sensation.
Inhaling through the nose,
Releasing with a sigh.
Again inhaling through the nose,
Exhale with a sigh.
Continue doing a few more of these breaths in your own time.
If the sensation moves,
Follow it.
Or if it changes,
Feel into the sensations that are now present.
Allow whatever is rising to be present.
Be with it.
Feeling whatever needs to be felt fully.
Experience it.
Feel it fully.
All of the edges.
All of the sensations.
Tell it that you see it.
That you feel it.
That you are here for it.
And that you love it.
It just wants to be acknowledged.
It wants to be seen,
Felt and heard.
Does the sensation have something it wants to tell you?
If the sensation has not cleared yet,
You may like to press pause and repeat the process until it feels complete.
Now visualize a stream of universal energy pouring into this area.
You may see it as a golden or white healing light flowing down or just sense that it's there.
Continue to breathe and visualize the radiant light shining into this area for a moment longer.
Now take a deep breath in through the nose.
A final releasing breath out through the mouth.
Thank your body,
The vessel that carries your precious life,
For allowing this healing to take place.
Let it know that you are grateful for any messages or insights you receive today and that it is loved deeply.
Now begin to bring your awareness back into your body.
Notice your breath and how soft it feels.
Notice the sensation on the skin as the air gently touches it.
Notice the sounds in the external environment.
The feeling of peace in your body.
Take a moment and think about the way that you might like to express and honor the release and liberation in your body.
Maybe you'd like to give gratitude,
Journal your experience,
Or create some sort of ritual to honor it.
Something as simple as lighting a candle,
Pulling an oracle card,
Or setting an affirmation.
Maybe you'd like to listen to a song.
It's time to bring some gentle movement back into the body.
Maybe you'd like to wiggle your fingers and toes or make some circular motions with your ankles and wrists.
Maybe even take a stretch.
When you are ready,
You can roll onto your side and gently blink open your eyes.
