This is Rasa.
Welcome to your guided meditation.
Begin by finding yourself in a comfortable seated position,
Either with legs crossed in front of you or drawing hips back to heels in a kneeling position.
Or maybe sitting on a chair,
Both feet planted on the surface that supports you.
Allow your hands to rest gently on your knees or on your thighs,
Wherever they fall comfortably.
Whatever position you find yourself in,
Ensure that your back body is upright,
That your spine is straight.
Each and every vertebra stacking on top of the other.
Entire body in perfect alignment.
On your next breath in,
Draw your shoulders up in the direction of your ears,
Squeezing them high and then as you exhale,
Roll your shoulders down and back behind you,
Allowing them to settle.
Welcoming a sensation of lightness and openness to the front side of your chest.
Inviting more space in and around your heart.
Do this just one more time.
Inhaling to raise your shoulders up,
Exhale to encourage them down and back.
And then stabilise the body.
Bring yourself to a place of stillness,
A place of silence.
And allow your eyelids to fall down heavy.
For maybe the first time today,
Make a commitment to give up your eyes to the world of constant looking,
Searching,
Endless seeking for something external and simply permit your focus to turn inward.
To go within,
Encouraging the internal world,
The one deep inside you to become the forefront of your uninterrupted awareness.
Take a moment to tune into the quality of your thoughts.
Stories that may be recirculating within your head.
Stories or emotions that have bubbled to the surface.
Notice what arises when you pause and simply tune into the quality of your mental state.
Now,
Take a moment to tune into the quality of your breath.
The air that is coming into and leaving your body.
Feeling and noticing the belly inflate as you breathe in.
Feeling and noticing the belly deflate as you breathe out.
In breath and the stomach rises.
Out breath and the stomach falls.
Inhale and the belly expands.
Exhale and the belly contracts.
Touch and feel the wave of your abdomen as you breathe.
Taking comfort in knowing that with each and every breath you are stoking a powerful flame which resides at the centre of your abdomen.
A fire of the purest transformation.
An inferno that doesn't just digest and metabolise the food which you consume,
But also the experiences of your life as well.
This fire,
This sun within you is the catalyst for personal growth and renewal.
Begin to visualise the flame in the midsection of your body,
Just above your navel centre.
See the brilliance of its glow.
Feel the warmth of its blaze.
Notice that this flame contains within it the smouldering seed of your personal power.
As you continue to focus on this radiating inferno deep within you,
Begin to feel your unlimited potential.
Really feel it.
The weight of your unimaginable self-worth.
The influence of your conviction.
The unwavering confidence that resides inside your belly.
In this very moment,
Feel and honour yourself sitting here in your power of who you are.
In this very moment,
Feel and honour the unrelenting strength that resides within you.
Capable of overcoming fear.
Conquering doubt.
Coming from a place of purest intention with courage,
With determination,
With grace.
Now slowly,
Mindfully,
Begin to draw your palm overlap of this fire within your stomach,
Just above the navel centre.
Pacing your hand on your belly and settling into the notion that the inner flame residing under your palm is always with you.
Always present.
Available.
Always supporting.
Burning away edges of resistance.
Giving light to shadows that require illumination.
Seeing that which does not serve and turning it into something with meaning and purpose.
See this flame grow larger.
Grow brighter.
Feel heat and light radiate from the hand over this glowing inferno.
Feel it spread out onto your entire physical body.
Feel it removing blockages.
Feel it catalysing the necessary changes which will encourage you to blossom into the intuitive,
Fearless,
Self-assured person you have been all along.
Take time to relish in your ability to connect to the source of power.
You can always reconnect at any time,
Just like you are reconnecting right now.
Now slowly,
Mindfully,
Begin to draw the palm on your belly upwards in the direction of your throat and allow it to rest there gently.
Causing to feel the heat from your palm on the skin of your neck.
Your inner fire soothing and warming this area of your body.
Beneath this hand is the home of your communication centre.
The seat from which expression emits.
The seat from which expression emits.
Truth lives.
This voice has unimaginable influence and power.
This voice can change the world as you know it.
Take time with your hand on this area of your body to allow any blockages to dissipate and dissolve completely.
Reconnecting to the influence and confidence of your true inner voice.
And now gently return your hand down and begin to deepen your breath.
Taking in as much air as your body needs to cleanse and purify.
Inhaling to nourish.
Breathing to detoxify.
Inhaling to collect.
Exhaling to release.
All the while breathing into the potent notion that riding on this very breath,
Riding on your awareness is a solitary spark to ignite the fire deep inside of you.
Thank you for joining me in this guided meditation and until next time.
