Hi,
My name is Nzinga Oniwosan.
I will be guiding you in your inner journey meditation.
The purpose of this meditation is to increase body awareness,
Reduce tension,
Increase calmness and well-being,
As well as use one's inner wisdom to offer guidance to healing.
This inner journey we're going to take begins with the awareness and relaxation of a body scan and then moves into a deeper journey.
It includes active exploration,
Inquiry and dialogue.
This inner journey will bring you surprising,
Trauma-healing,
Life-changing discoveries.
Begin by coming to a comfortable position.
Allow your breathing to deepen,
Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Feel the breath coming in and going out.
Allow the breath to come a little smoother,
A little softer and a little longer.
Allow the breath to come in through your nose and follow it.
Visualize it,
Feel it as it goes from the nose,
Down the trachea,
Into the banchi and then the alveoli of the lungs.
Let your consciousness follow your breath and let your consciousness and your breath begin to mix with the blood which is moving through your heart.
And now allow the music and the sound of my voice to bring you flowing,
Moving through your bloodstream into and through your body to the part of you that is calling out to you,
To the part of you that is saying,
Come here,
I need you here,
I have something to tell you.
It may be a part of you that you know well or it may be one you've never visited before.
Just allow yourself to go there,
Trust it that this is the right place to be for this moment and that your unconscious wisdom is at work.
Once you're there,
Look around,
See what it's like,
Ask what the message is for you,
What it needs to tell you.
You may ask a question like,
What am I doing here?
Why do you hurt?
Is there something I'm supposed to learn?
Whatever the question is,
Whether it's formed with words or without words,
Ask it and let the answer come.
Keep up this dialogue,
Looking,
Listening,
Asking and waiting for the answers.
You may ask a question like,
What is the meaning of this?
You may ask a question like,
What is the meaning of this?
You may ask a question like,
What is the meaning of this?
You may ask a question like,
What is the meaning of this?
You may ask a question like,
What is the meaning of this?
You may ask a question like,
What is the meaning of this?
Now you can say thank you to this part of you that's been informing you and allow the music and the sound of my voice to bring you back again to your heart.
Just enjoy being here and experience the music,
The beat of the music,
The beat of your heart and the rhythm of your breath.
And now have the flow of your blood and the music and the sound of my voice take you somewhere else in your body,
Somewhere else that may have a message for you.
Let yourself be in that place.
If you find that it is the same place as before,
You need more time there.
That is fine too.
Look around,
See what you see.
Feel what you feel and ask,
Why am I here?
What is it that I need to learn?
Let that answer rise up from this other place in your body.
Allow that discussion to unfold.
Allow that information to come from this part of your body.
When you've learned what you need,
Thank this part of your body for what it's taught you.
Let yourself be in that place.
Let yourself be in that place.
Allow that information to come from this part of your body.
Let yourself be in that place.
Let yourself be in that place.
Let yourself be in that place.
Let yourself be in that place.
Let yourself be in that place.
And now,
Let the sound of my voice and the sound of the music flow with the blood and air and oxygen and bring you back to your heart.
And once more,
Feel yourself in your heart enjoying the place.
And become aware now of your mind flowing with your breath and your blood sending you back to your lungs.
Be aware of the air,
Mostly carbon dioxide now diffusing from the bloodstream into your alveoli.
And be aware now of the air rising through the rock you're into your trachea and out of your lungs.
Be aware of your breathing,
Of your lungs expanding with the inhalation,
Of your body relaxing with the exhalation.
Becoming more and more aware of the breath.
Breathing in and out of the body,
Life and air,
Consciousness and energy.
The breath moving through the alveoli into and out of the lungs and through the bronchioles,
The bronchi and out,
Out of your mouth.
In through your nose,
Out through your mouth.
In through your nose,
Out through your mouth.
In through your nose,
Out through your mouth.
Now become aware of yourself little by little sitting here in your chair breathing.
And as the music goes down,
Continue to be aware of yourself sitting here in this room.
Breathing,
Relaxing,
Feeling your feet on the floor and your back against the chair.
And your seat on the seat of the chair.
And as you feel comfortable,
Open your eyes and bring yourself into the room.
