Welcome,
Let's begin by coming into a place of stillness.
I invite you to sit in a cross-legged seat on your mat,
Or if you prefer to lie down or sit in a chair,
That is perfectly fine.
We will begin with the breath.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
And an open mouth exhale,
Let it go.
Take another deep breath in,
Placing the palms of your hands face up or face down,
Gently close your eyes,
And pause for a moment to allow the mind to clear.
Take another deep breath in as you elongate from the base of your spine to the crown of your head.
Roll your shoulders back as you allow your heart to rise,
Creating a long line of extension through the spine.
Take a deep breath in,
Becoming more aware of each breath entering your nose,
Flowing down your throat,
And expanding into your body,
And breathe like this on your own.
Bring your awareness to your pelvis and to the base of your spine,
Seated,
Grounded on your mat or to the earth below.
Imagine a red glowing light in your root chakra,
The energy that grounds your body,
Your pelvis,
Your hips,
Your glutes,
Your perineum.
On your next inhalation,
Feel and contract this area of your body,
The muscles around your pelvis and hips,
Your glutes,
Your perineum.
Engage this area to activate and to release any stored tension.
Imagine a red glow in your root chakra space and breathe into it.
Take a deep breath in,
Seeing a glowing red light,
And say to yourself,
I am centered.
I am secure in myself and myself with others.
Stay here for three breaths.
The red glow swirls around,
Moving up from the base of your spine and into your lower core,
Between your navel and pubic bone,
And turning into the color orange.
Bring your awareness to your sacral chakra,
Which includes your sacrum along your spine and anteriorly,
Your sexual organs,
Your kidneys,
And adrenal glands.
On your next inhalation,
Engage and contract your low core,
Navel to spine,
And release.
One more time,
Engage and contract your low core muscles,
Sucking your navel to your spine,
Holding it for a moment,
And release.
Imagine the color orange in the sacral area.
The sacral chakra is associated with intimacy,
Sensuality,
And creativity.
With your eyes closed,
Take a deep breath in,
Seeing a glowing orange light fill up your sacral chakra.
Say to yourself,
I am passionate.
I am expressive.
I am desire.
Stay here for three breaths.
The orange glow swirls around,
Moving up your spine and into the center of your core,
And turning into the color yellow.
In your solar plexus chakra,
The space between your navel and sternum,
It includes your gut and digestive system.
Take a deep breath in,
Seeing a glowing yellow light in your core,
And breathe into it.
Take another deep breath in,
Allowing the yellow light to glow even brighter.
Say,
I motivate myself.
I have courage.
I trust myself.
I listen to the subtleties of my body.
Stay here for three breaths.
The yellow glow swirls around,
Moving up your spine and into your chest,
And turning into the color green.
Green fills up your lungs,
Expands your rib cage,
And glows in all directions in your heart chakra.
Take a deep breath in.
Feel the energy that lives in your heart and your lungs.
Feel the energy and the aliveness in this sacred space.
Imagine a glowing green light around your heart space.
See the light shining brighter and brighter with each breath you take.
Say to yourself,
I am love.
I am worthy of love.
I am a seeker of love.
With each breath,
Allowing the green light to glow brighter and brighter.
Let your whole heart glow in radiant light.
Gently bring the palms of your hands together in front of your heart.
Keep your eyes closed,
And stay here for three breaths.
The green glow swirls around in your heart,
Moving up your spine and into your throat chakra,
Turning into the color blue.
Imagine the glowing blue energy in your throat space.
The throat allows for innervation,
Communication between the body and mind,
That allow for breath,
Vocalization,
And sustenance.
Take a deep breath in,
Aware of the air entering your nose,
Moving through your larynx and trachea,
And into your lungs.
Let your whole body glow in blue light.
Say to yourself,
I speak my truth.
What I have to say matters.
Stay here for three breaths.
The blue light swirls around your throat,
Moving up past your jaw and into that space between your eyebrows,
Your third eye chakra,
And turning into the color purple.
Allow the muscles above your eyes to soften and smooth any tension around your third eye chakra.
Take a deep breath in,
And imagine a purple light radiating from your forehead,
Your intuition,
Your inner insight into the unconscious.
Imagine this purple light glowing and expanding in all directions.
Gently bring the palms of your hands together again at your heart space,
And rise your hands up so the backs of your thumb touch your third eye.
Gently close your eyes and say to yourself,
I am conscious awareness.
I am inner insight to my own unconscious.
Stay here for three breaths.
The purple glow swirls around your third eye,
Moving up to the top of your skull and turning into the color violet.
Your crown chakra,
See a glowing violet light shining bright like a crown on the top of your head.
Allow light and energy from above to permeate into you.
Imagine a luminescent violet energy,
That which is absent of light and that which encompasses all light,
Haloing above your head and flowing into your root chakra.
See the violet light glowing brighter with each inhalation.
See your crown chakra glow as it connects to the area above you,
To the universe,
To the elements unseen all around you.
Say to yourself,
I am connected to the seen and unseen.
I am more than meets the eye.
Stay here for three breaths.
Inhaling slow,
Long,
Deep breaths and exhaling slow,
Long and deeply,
Allowing you to effortlessly in tune to all the various energy systems in your body.
Allow the rhythm of your breath to send positive vibrations through every chakra.
Seeing in your mind's eye every chakra's energy activated,
Radiant and glowing,
Red,
Orange,
Yellow,
Green,
Blue,
Purple,
Violet.
Imagine these colors brightening and expanding through the body.
Say to yourself,
I am centered.
I am secure in myself and myself with others.
I am passionate.
I am expressive.
I am desire.
I motivate myself.
I have courage.
I trust myself.
I listen to the subtleties of my body.
I am love.
I am worthy of love.
I am a seeker of love.
I speak my truth.
What I have to say matters.
I am conscious awareness.
I am inner insight to my own unconscious.
I am connected to the seen and unseen.
I am more than meets the eye.
Take a deep breath in and exhale,
Let the breath go.
