This meditation is a call to men.
It combines the power of circular breathing with full-blooded somatic awareness to help men throughout the world step into their full authentic power.
As you go throughout this exercise,
Pay attention to the body's response and notice.
Notice how your body feels as you contemplate the following images and affirmations.
Now find a comfortable place to sit.
Close the eyes and take a deep breath.
Exhale through the nose if possible and imagine a ball of light moving down the front of your body all the way down to the soles of your feet.
Exhale now through the mouth and imagine the light moving up the back through the spine to just above the head at the crown center.
Continue now with an inhale down the front.
See the light flow down to the soles of your feet and exhale up the spine as the light reaches to the top of the head.
Inhale down the front and exhale up the back.
And continue now at your own pace and don't worry if you lose track.
With time this type of breathing will become habit and you can always come back to the breath.
Now imagine roots beginning to sprout beneath your feet digging deep into the earth's soil reaching deep into the core.
See these roots reach so deep that they extend through the earth's crust to reach the brothers throughout the world who have been waiting for you.
Imagine now that these roots sprout up into the sky as a tree that reaches the clouds high up above.
And as you continue to grow imagine feeling the weight of the forest that leans on your support and notice how with your deep roots you can take this.
You could help hold up the forest all around.
Because the world needs men like you to protect it to nurture it to fill it with your loving presence to nourish its soil with an awakened heart.
And as you continue to breathe repeat the following affirmations aloud or to yourself and after each one let the words flow throughout your body and notice.
Notice what words bring up an emotional charge and notice if any memories come to mind of the past.
Allow yourself to feel any charges that arise and use this as a tool to deepen into your awakened masculine presence.
Let's begin.
I am the father the world has been missing.
I am the warrior who fights with fierce love.
I let my partner feel my full blooded presence.
I am a guide for our boys.
I guide our boys into the forest to learn from Mother Earth.
I guide our boys to wield divine masculine power.
My power comes from within.
My power lifts up the world.
My power calls forward other men.
I guide our boys to practice consent with a partner.
I honor the womb like a sacred home.
I remove shame from how we create life.
I am aware of my sexual energy and how I use it.
I am aware that a man's sperm is part of his life force and use it wisely.
I continue to integrate the shadow into my daily presence.
I rip open my chest and show the world my beating heart.
And I do the hard work of healing the scars of the past.
Relax now and call attention once again to your breathing.
March your shoulders back to open up the chest.
Breathe deep into the space that expands because of your presence.
Hold this power like a newborn child.
Exhale it with the backbone of a mountain.
And feel this power radiate from your spine.
Return now to the breath and before opening up your eyes,
Think of the men in your life who build you up to be your greatest self.
Take a moment to do this.
For each man who comes to mind,
Imagine light extending out of your heart and entering into theirs.
And when you feel ready,
Open up your eyes.
You're back into your day with nothing short of your full blooded presence.
