Welcome to this guided meditation.
My name is Mariella and I'll be acting as your guide today.
This guided visualization is for those creatives who are finishing up a project.
The journey will help you determine whether your project is ready to be released into the world and invite you to set the intention to surrender the outcome of your project to the divine.
Make sure you're in a comfortable position,
Whether that's seated or lying down.
You can also do this meditation while walking.
If you like,
And if you can,
You can close your eyes.
If not,
Try to relax your gaze.
Focus on your breath.
For a couple of rounds,
Breathe in deeply through your nose.
Hold your breath at the top and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Breathe in through the nose,
Holding your breath at the top and exhaling slowly through your mouth.
Once you feel more settled and grounded,
Breathe in and out through your nose in a rhythm that's comfortable for you right now.
If there's any tension in your body,
Bring your attention and your breath towards it.
On the in-breath,
Imagine how your breath embraces the tension.
On the out-breath,
Allow this tension to lessen.
Repeat this for as long as you need.
Place your hands on your belly,
Right below your navel,
And imagine a bright orange light at the center of your belly,
About the size of a pinprick.
With every inhale,
That vibrant orange light grows a little bigger,
And with every exhale,
It pulses slightly.
The next time you inhale,
It's become the size of a marble,
And then that of a golf ball.
Slowly,
This growing light begins to resemble a sphere that expands beyond your belly and your lower back.
It has reached your sides and has already enveloped your root and solar plexus chakras.
With every breath in,
This orange ball of light keeps growing,
And with every breath out,
It pulses.
Allow the orange light to reach every single cell as it expands beyond your physical body,
Until it has created a sphere of perfect,
Pulsing orange light all around you.
This pulsing orange light surrounding you right now is your sacral energy,
Your creative energy.
As you continue to breathe in and breathe out through your nose,
The outer edges of the sphere begin to solidify.
The energy still pulses,
But those outer edges are turning into a smooth crystal,
Creating a solid barrier between you and the world around you.
Inside this sphere,
You are all there is.
You and your creative impulse.
There is nothing else.
It's just you and your creativity.
How are you feeling right now?
Are you comfortable within this sphere?
How does it make you feel?
And how does your body respond to it?
Whatever comes up,
Breathe in the sacral energy surrounding you,
And breathe out any feelings,
Emotions,
Sensations that do not serve you in this moment.
Breathe in the orange energy,
And breathe out anything and everything that doesn't belong to you.
Let all of it be absorbed by the orange light you've enveloped yourself in,
And let it be transmuted into something,
Feelings,
Emotions,
Sensations,
Thoughts,
Energy,
That will benefit you in this moment.
With your hands still on your belly,
Ask the creative project you've been finishing up to join you in this sphere.
It can come from within you,
Or you might have to create a temporary opening in the smooth orange crystal sphere that's surrounding you to let it in.
It doesn't matter.
Once it's in the sphere with you,
Place your project in front of you.
Take a good look at it.
What does it look like?
What color does it have?
What shape?
What kind of energy does it emit?
How does it respond to your presence?
Now ask it,
How far along are you?
You don't have to judge or feel anything about what shows up.
You only have to sit with it.
If you want,
You can pause here to write down the answer you're receiving.
Now ask your project,
Is there anything I've missed?
Anything I haven't thought about enough?
Again,
Don't judge what comes up.
That's not what you're here for,
And that's not what your project joined you in this sphere for.
Then ask your project,
Is there anything I could have done better?
Or anything I could have done differently?
Lower your defenses and allow the answer to come to you,
No matter what it is.
Now ask your project,
Is there anything I need to clarify or elaborate on before I release you into the world?
Once you've received all the answers your project has given you,
Ask your project whether there's anything else you need to know right now.
Does it have any messages it wants you to hear?
If yes,
Take a moment to write them down.
If no,
That's okay.
Maybe everything your creative project needed to share with you today has already been said.
Place your hands back on your belly and keep inhaling that orange sacral energy as you ask yourself whether you're ready to fully surrender the outcome of this creative project.
If you are,
Imagine placing the finished version of your project inside an orange balloon.
When you're ready,
Release the balloon,
Allowing it to go through the crystal sphere still surrounding you,
Up towards the cosmos.
You have now surrendered the outcome of your project to the divine and are now ready to call your creative energy back and focus it on the things that are in your control.
On your next inhale,
Smile to yourself.
You have done something truly remarkable here.
On your next exhale,
The outer edges of the sphere around you begin to soften.
On every exhale,
The smooth crystal surrounding the sphere softens more.
Now decide for yourself.
Do you want to draw your sacral energy closer to your belly or do you want to keep the circle of energy you've created around yourself?
Perhaps you want to make it even bigger than it already is.
Once your sphere of orange light is your preferred size,
Wiggle your toes and fingers and then stretch your arms and legs.
Slowly open your eyes if they were closed and take in the room you're in.
If you haven't started writing down what came up for you during this visualization,
This is a good time to grab your journal and do so.
Thank you for joining me here in this space.
Until we meet again.
