Hello and welcome to your chakra intention setting ritual.
This is Mary Lofgren and I'm grateful to be leading you through this meditation today.
And so beginning by finding a comfortable seat.
Facing a pillow under your hips,
Feeling your hips sink deep into the earth.
While your crown reaches tall towards the sky.
Energetically without a ton of effort lengthening through the spine.
Hands lay softly in your lap.
And beginning to bring your attention to your breath.
Feeling the breath roll into your belly.
Feeling the breath leave your body like a gift.
Feeling that endless cycle of inhale and exhale.
Giving and receiving.
Yin and yang.
Feeling inside of you thousands of times a day.
So with your attention connecting to those two polarities and to everything in between.
Through the simple sensation of your breath.
And then bringing your awareness down into your lower body.
Into your feet,
Your legs,
The base of your spine.
Here in your root chakra.
And so setting the intention as you connect with this part of your physical body.
I belong here.
I am rooted here.
I am grounded.
Envisioning your roots much like the roots of a California redwood.
So vast.
So strong.
Bringing your awareness up into the bowl of your pelvis.
Your hip bones.
Organs within your pelvis.
Your lower belly.
This is the energy center of creativity,
Sexuality,
Power and value.
Setting the intention of today may I be creative.
Today may I pay attention to my soul's desires.
Because my desires matter.
Bringing your awareness up to your belly.
Imagining a yellow light right here in the center of your body,
Your solar plexus.
Taking a deep breath into your belly.
Setting the intention that today I may listen to my gut.
I may remember that I am powerful.
That my power comes not from being able to dominate others.
But from a deep surrender to my gifts and my truth.
May I trust that truth today.
Bringing your awareness up into your heart.
Imagining your heart like a beautiful green abundant garden.
Feeling into both the tenderness and the resilience of your heart.
Even setting the intention as I move through this day,
May my words,
My thoughts,
My actions nurture and nourish the beauty of the garden of my heart.
Bringing your awareness now up into your throat.
This sacred conduit between your body,
All of these energy centers that we've connected to and the expression of those energies into the world.
So receiving a breath to allow your throat to relax.
And setting the intention I am truth.
My voice matters.
I offer my truth as a sacred gift.
Bringing your awareness up into your third eye.
Seeing a blue light,
Envisioning the eye that sees what your physical eyes cannot.
And setting the intention I remember.
I know the answers even when I think I don't.
I am wise.
And then bringing your attention finally up into the crown chakra.
Imagining a violet light,
Perhaps in the shape of a beautiful crown at the top of your head.
And setting the intention like a mantra,
I am holy.
I am miraculous.
I am divine.
And beginning to allow a few more deep,
Full breaths to run through that circuit from the bottoms of your feet up your legs into your pelvis,
Into your belly,
Into your heart,
Your throat,
Your third eye,
Your crown.
And as you exhale,
Moving through the crown,
Third eye,
Throat,
Heart,
Belly,
Pelvis,
Roots.
Taking the breath continuously with no pause in between your inhale and exhale to energize this circuit.
To allow these mantras to land within your physical,
Mental,
And energetic bodies.
Knowing that you don't have to do anything other than be present in your breath right now.
And knowing that you have these mantras to come back to anytime you need them throughout the day.
I belong.
I am rooted.
I am creative.
I am powerful.
I am love.
I am truth.
I am wise.
I am holy.
Thank you so much for meditating with me today.
