Hello and welcome to this guided meditation on empowerment.
You deserve to shine just like every star in the galaxy.
You are special and unique and have something so beautiful to share with this world.
Let's connect to your inner beauty so that you can share it with the world through your words,
Your actions,
And your authenticity.
Begin by closing your eyes,
Inviting them to rest as we're going on an inward journey today.
Bringing your awareness to your breath,
To the movement and flow of your life-giving breath.
Bringing your mind here to this moment,
Not the past or the future,
But with the reality which is that you are right here,
Right now.
Breathe into the softness that your only responsibility is to simply be aware of this moment.
With each exhale,
Release any heaviness or responsibility that is not a part of this moment.
Let's start this practice with some gratitude.
I want you to bring to mind times in your life where you were in alignment with your truth,
Whatever that means to you.
When you felt like you allowed yourself to shine,
Reflecting your inner world,
Your beliefs,
Your values,
Your personality into your outer world fearlessly.
Repeat those times that you stepped into a space of vulnerability so that you could really show up.
I'll let you breathe into this gratitude practice for a few deep breaths.
Wonderful.
Now bring your hands over your upper abdomen.
Gently rest them there.
This is where your solar plexus chakra is,
Also known as manipura.
It is a bright yellow light.
This yellow light is powerful yet soft.
It is strong and compassionate and it embodies your center of self.
When you are in alignment with your self-love,
This yellow light shines brightly and flows in ways of confidence,
Beautiful nurturing self-care and reflects in you honoring yourself by speaking and being your truth because you believe in yourself.
You release doubts and fears and truly believe in your value.
That is when it shines the most brightly.
So as you place your hands here,
I want you to tune in to the quality of the energy.
Can you envision this yellow light or maybe feel a sensation in your hands?
We invite this solar plexus,
This center of self-love and worthiness to release any blockages or unsupportive energies,
Unsupportive memories or triggers from your past that have held you back from shining.
Releasing any doubts that you have against yourself and softening any fears of not being good enough or worthy.
They release through the hands down into the earth softly and gently.
We accept these parts and we love these parts but their time has come to leave.
They've served a purpose of protection but now you're ready to step into your power,
To move into a place where you cannot be harmed by others.
You cannot be torn down because your belief in yourself is so powerful so it is safe to release these old habits and energies now.
As your hands are here on your upper abdomen,
We empower this yellow light.
Let's connect to the sun.
If it's behind the night sky or clouds,
Wherever it is right now,
It's still shining that bright yellow star.
The sun reaches down towards your hands and into your upper abdomen,
Refilling your cup,
Your chalice of self-love and worthiness so it can shine brightly once again in its full strength,
Its full power.
Connect to this light filling you from the sun.
It is one and the same source.
Pure love.
Pure acceptance.
Tonight you can take your hands down away from your abdomen and rest them somewhere comfortable.
Now when you live from this space of power,
What do you look like when you really believe in yourself?
When you honor the beautiful being that you are,
How do you carry yourself?
How do you treat yourself and show self-love and compassion?
And how are you reflected to others in the world?
Spend some time connecting to this image of you and your worthiness and your power.
Wonderful work.
This is a potential reality for you to live from this space right now,
For you to shine this truce of your beauty,
Of your soul into this world with power because you are so deserving of sharing this with everyone and everyone is so excited to receive you in your fullness.
I want you to get excited about all of the gifts that you bring to planet earth when you're shining your light,
When you're shining yourself.
What are your gifts?
There are many and it's easy to focus on the negatives,
But right now we're going to focus on your positives.
On those things that light up other people's lives and bring a smile to their face.
On the values that you have that bring you joy,
That make you proud in your choices.
And on the positive aspects of your personality.
The beautiful things about you that make you you.
The unique offerings,
The unique nuances that are only found in you.
There is no other you.
Thank goodness there is no other you.
No one is like you.
We really need to honor you and how special that you are.
You deserve to show up and deserve to be seen and heard and loved.
Just take some time to feel and appreciate your gifts.
I want you to be humble and honor,
Really honor all of your gifts.
It's easy for us to do this for other people and to see their gifts and tell them how much we appreciate them.
And it can be difficult for us to do this for ourselves.
Why?
Why do we hold back on the positive things and have this loud inner critic constantly judging everything that we do?
Let's honor all the good stuff right now.
Look to it and feel all of your beautiful,
Wonderful gifts that are you.
Really great work.
Now let's step into your power.
Everything you just connected to,
These are your powers,
Your superpowers.
Let's begin to shine these gifts right now,
Freely,
Not holding back,
Not fearful or doubting,
Just freely shining this beautiful light that you are,
All of your gifts that you connected to,
Empowering them,
Letting them move in your body in their full essence.
Let it shift your physical body,
Bringing softness or firmness to new areas,
Shifting your posture as you embody these gifts to their full force,
To their full potential.
And I would like for you to speak an affirmation after me.
As you speak it,
Notice your tone and the power in your voice when you are in this space of empowerment,
In this space of shining your gifts.
Repeat after me.
I am powerful.
I am strong.
I shine my light into this world.
Wonderful.
How does it feel to be in this space of power,
Empowering your gifts,
Shining your truth as you move throughout your day,
Connect with this inner power inside of you?
It doesn't have to be this forceful process of pushing or creating or trying to strengthen this muscle of stepping into your power.
It's simply allowing,
Allowing your truth to shine.
It's a softening,
Not a hardening.
Softening of the shell of the walls and the blocks that we've placed up to protect ourselves.
And when you are fully in your power,
You can't be hurt or pulled down because you know you're worthy of love and you're embodying that love.
So tune in throughout the day and just check in.
Am I allowing myself to shine to my fullest potential?
And if I am not,
Can I surrender to allow myself to be in my power?
Now see yourself shining this bright yellow light from your core through your whole physical body into your aura and your energy field and expanding further into the room or the area that you are in and further and further until it feels endless,
Shining as brightly as the sun.
You are worthy of being here and shining.
Shine your light for all to see as you bring warmth and love to planet earth.
Thank you for doing this deep work.
Namaste.
