Hello there and welcome.
This meditation is focused on the solar plexus chakra.
Find a comfortable position.
Either sitting,
Or lying down.
Allow your body to settle into the space beneath you.
Close your eyes if that feels comfortable.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose.
And gently exhale through your mouth.
Again,
Breathe in.
And breathe out.
Let's do that one more time.
Take a deep breath in.
Allowing your belly to expand.
And slowly release.
With each breath,
Allow yourself to become more present.
There is nowhere else you need to be right now.
Nothing you need to prove?
Nothing that you need to accomplish.
For these next few moments,
You are simply being.
Allow your shoulders to soften.
Relax your jaw.
Soften the muscles around your eyes.
Release any tension you may be holding in your stomach and simply breathe.
Now bring your awareness to the area just above your navel and below your breastbone.
This is the home of your solar plexus chakra.
The energetic center of your personal power,
Your confidence,
Your courage,
Your sense of identity.
Your ability to choose.
Your ability to act.
And your ability to trust yourself.
Imagine a small,
Warm,
Golden yellow light beginning to glow within this space.
At first,
It may appear as just a tiny spark.
With each inhale,
Allow that light to grow brighter.
And with each exhale.
Allow it to expand.
Breathe in.
The light grows.
Breathe out,
The warmth spreads.
Imagine this golden light becoming like the warmth of the sun within you.
Not a harsh or overpowering sun,
But a warm steady light.
A light that has always existed within you.
Even during the moments when you doubted yourself.
Even when you question your worth.
Even when you made yourself smaller so that others could feel comfortable.
Your light was still there.
Your power was still there.
And it is here,
Now.
Take a deep breath into your solar plexus.
As you exhale,
Imagine releasing the need for approval.
Breathe in and release comparison.
Breathe in.
And release self-doubt.
Breathe in and release the belief that you must earn your worth.
You do not have to prove that you deserve to be here.
You do not have to become someone else in order to be worthy.
Your presence is enough.
Allow the golden light within your solar plexus to grow brighter.
See it filling your abdomen,
Your chest,
Your shoulders,
Your arms,
Your entire body.
Feel yourself becoming grounded in who you are.
You are allowed to trust yourself.
You are allowed to make decisions that honor you.
You are allowed to say yes.
You are allowed to say no.
You are allowed to change your mind.
You are allowed to choose a different path.
You are allowed to take up space.
Now,
Silently or loud,
Repeat these affirmations after me.
I trust myself.
I honor the wisdom within me.
I am worthy exactly as I am.
I release the need to prove myself.
I am confident in the choices I make for my life.
My boundaries are an expression of self-respect.
I give myself permission to take up space.
I release what diminishes my light.
I choose what empowers me.
I trust the direction my life is taking.
I am courageous.
I am capable.
I am worthy.
I am powerful.
Now imagine yourself standing beneath a beautiful golden sun.
Feel its warmth touching your face,
Your shoulders,
Your chest,
Your entire body.
As you stand beneath this light,
Imagine yourself becoming fully aware of your own presence.
You do not need to shrink.
You do not need to hide.
You do not need permission to become who you are meant to be.
Take a deep breath in.
And imagine yourself standing a little taller,
Your shoulders relaxed,
Your heart open,
Your feet grounded beneath you.
There's strength in your presence.
There's wisdom in your experiences.
There is power in your voice.
Bring your awareness once again to your solar plexus.
See that golden yellow light glowing steadily within you.
Know that you can return to this place whenever you begin to doubt yourself.
Your power does not come from controlling everything around you.
Your power comes from knowing yourself,
Trusting yourself,
Honoring yourself.
And choosing to live in alignment with who you truly are.
Place one hand over your solar plexus.
And if it feels comfortable.
Place the other over your heart.
Feel the connection between your heart and your personal power.
You do not have to choose between being loving and being powerful.
You can be compassionate and still have boundaries.
You can be gentle and still be strong.
You can love others without abandoning yourself.
You can honor others while honoring yourself.
Take a deep breath in.
And slowly breathe out.
Again.
Breathing confidence.
And breathe out doubt.
Breathe in courage and breathe out fear.
Breathe in your light.
And allow yourself to shine.
Remember.
You are worthy.
You are capable.
You are courageous.
And you are powerful.
Namaste.
