Hello and welcome to this week's Purely Being Meditation.
Today I'm going to share a process I use to release dense or tight emotional energy and give it back to the universe,
Back to love as liberated energy to serve the highest good of all.
The idea here is centered around transmutation and instead of trying to cleanse,
Ignore or bully the energy away,
You're witnessing and releasing it to its original form in the service of love.
This process operates on the premise that all energy is inherently neutral and ultimately for our well-being unless we stop its motion or give it a charge like anger or fear.
And these tight energies we carry with us are all just love that's been squished and contracted through a limiting belief of some kind.
Doing this process takes a stretch of the imagination and a little bit of playfulness helps.
It's a great process to tack onto the act of witnessing yourself and I will link my I see you and I love you meditation in the description as I think it's a great companion to this process.
First I'm going to walk you through two examples I've personally used in my life just to give you an idea of how this can be done and then after that I'll guide you through the process yourself so that you can use it whenever you want to or feel called to.
In the first example I became aware of a resistance to doing what I know is best for me and so for example the craving to watch a movie in the evening instead of meditating before bed.
And so I focused on where I felt this resistance in my body and then once I found it I took a deep breath and said the prayer I see you and I love you.
Thank you for serving and protecting me.
And I do this because I recognize that at some point in my life I called this energy into being for a purpose and it might have been to distract or protect myself from painful feelings that might come up if I were to face myself honestly in meditation.
And then I asked this energy to be released into its original form of pure potential where it can serve love and the good of everyone.
As I did this I immediately saw it being transformed into a canoe paddle where its resistant nature helps to push against the water and create forward motion.
And now anytime I become aware of myself resisting what I know I need and is good for me I release the energy back into being a canoe paddle to help someone move their canoe forward on a gorgeous mountain lake.
A second and simpler example was anger.
When I felt it rising in my body I held space for it and repeated I see you and I love you.
Thank you for serving and protecting me as I called you to do.
I now release you back into free energy to serve the highest good of all.
And in this scenario I saw it as a fire heating someone's cook stove.
All raw and wild energy full of power and helping someone to make a delicious dinner.
And so really anytime you feel a dense energy accumulating in your body it's a recognition that there's a distortion in the flow.
The energy that's meant to move is being held on to in some way.
And because we're so connected as we release this energy all of life finds a greater harmony and synergy.
Everyone wins.
I invite you now to use this loving process to release any density that you may be feeling.
As we do this just know that everything has a purpose and it's a thousand percent okay to feel negative emotion.
When you do you can know that nothing's gone wrong but if you do desire to set it free or release it know that it is absolutely in your power to do so.
So to begin this process find somewhere comfortable to sit if you haven't already and you can close down your eyes if that feels good.
And gently bring your attention to your heart space.
Let's take three nourishing breaths together here.
Keeping your attention focused on your heart space.
Breathing in and out.
In and out.
One more time in and out.
And relax.
Now see if you can gently release all thought,
All tension as you tune more deeply into your body.
See if you can become more vividly aware of your felt state.
The ocean of emotion within you that shows up as sensations in the body.
Are there any areas of tightness or density that could be released or transmuted?
Perhaps any lingering emotions that you'd like to set free?
And if the answer is yes tune into this area of the body and see if you can articulate the emotion of it or even just the qualities of it.
What does this place feel like to you?
Is it tight,
Sticky,
Resistant,
Heavy?
Notice the qualities of it and if you can the core emotion behind it.
There's no rush here.
Keep sensing,
Keep feeling until you find the words that feel just right.
Once you've articulated the energy and the emotion,
See if you can see it through the eyes of love,
Looking directly at it with an open heart,
Calling nothing wrong here,
Knowing it's not wrong to carry density in your body,
But it's your sovereign right to set it free.
Just looking at it with spacious and non-judgmental compassion.
See it fully.
See it the love,
Patience,
And presence it's been asking for.
And take a nice deep breath in,
Exhaling fully with a sigh.
And repeat to this energy,
I see you and I love you.
Thank you for serving and protecting me as I called you to do.
I now release you back into life and liberty to serve the highest good of all.
You are free.
Now use your imagination here to think of how this energy could bless someone or serve a purpose.
How could this energy be used to bring greater happiness,
Ease,
And well-being to the planet?
Where could it go and make someone's life easier or better?
And it's totally okay if your imagination is feeling a little slow to give you ideas.
A default use I've found for any form of resistant energy is to release it to the earth.
The earth welcomes this densely packed emotional energy and uses it like a compost to fuel growth.
I like to imagine flowers and grasses and trees getting a boost of energy and life force as the emotional energy breaks down into its raw form and is used where it's needed most.
And so just tune into whatever feels most authentic,
Whatever feels like the best and most beautiful use of this energy and see this taking place.
See it serving its purpose and bringing great joy.
Let this bring you a sense of peace within.
Feel all of creation flowing with greater ease and harmony because of your choice to set this energy free.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Surrender all effort and relax.
Notice how you feel in your body now.
Perhaps a little lighter,
A little more spacious.
And know that you can repeat this process with any and all emotions as they arise.
Energy is created to move and to breathe.
As you let this energy go,
Return it to the light,
To love,
To God.
We all rise higher.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
With all my love and appreciation for you.
Namaste.
