Welcome to the Fire of the Heart meditation for transmuting emotions.
Sit or lie down,
Find a comfortable position.
Begin to allow your body to soften and relax.
Like you are unraveling in the sunlight.
Or leaning back into a hot bath.
Just breathing and being here.
Bringing a very gentle awareness to your body,
To your being.
Aware of your breath.
And emotions will come up as you begin to relax.
But just begin to observe them.
Like you might observe shadows flickering by a campfire.
In stillness,
Light arises and so shadows and pain and emotions are also illuminated.
Realizing they are connected,
One in the same.
Just allow them to move.
Allow them to be brought to light for transmuting,
For healing.
For movement and growth.
And you may begin now to feel a warmth in the body around the chest.
Around your back.
Around your neck.
In your hands.
This is a healing warmth.
You are able to hold this energy.
You are able to simply be the witness.
Connecting to this more expanded aspect of yourself that is pure awareness.
To simply observe and to allow this process.
So the fires of the heart rise and flicker and fade.
And rise and flicker and fade.
And rise and flicker and fade.
Feeling this warmth within your being.
In your heart.
And it's like sparks of this heart light fly within you and all around you.
Continue allowing this process as you are tuning back into yourself.
Coming home again and again.
Through the layers of emotions and stories,
Through the fire and the shadows.
Your own guide,
Your own light.
And begin now to see and feel a light and a warmth emanating outwards from your heart center.
A warm colour.
Like a bubble of light or a mist gently expanding outwards.
And with every gentle breath and every patient and loving moment you allow this heart energy to expand.
Allow this heart essence to come forward.
Nurturing these flames of your heart.
Exploring what they have to say.
Just continue breathing into your heart center.
Allowing this fire of transformation to lovingly expand.
And with every gentle breath and every patient and loving moment you allow this heart energy to expand.
Now you might like to call a person into your heart,
A situation,
A relationship,
Anything you feel could use the nurturing of this heart energy today.
Just call whatever this is into your heart center.
And place it there like an image or a feeling,
Just a knowing.
And keep expanding this heart energy.
Brightening up this light.
Without any force or might.
A gentle,
Powerful energy that knows exactly what to do.
When we surrender and allow.
Remain in our heart.
You When you are ready,
You can allow this energy to slow down.
And you might like to place your hands over your heart.
Or give yourself some kind of hug or embrace.
Bringing your awareness back to your body.
Renewed and filled with this heart light.
May you remember and proudly prze,
May you also remember whatir life has to offer
