Welcome to Monday Metta.
I'm Rachel and today's Metta meditation is really more of a visualization,
Something I like to call liquid sunshine chakra meditation.
So finding a seat,
This one actually does work well if you're seated or lying down where your body can have a moment to relax and where your eyes can close if that feels good to you.
And with eyes closed or nice and soft,
I want you to imagine beautiful beam of sunshine,
The sun itself radiating down over your head.
It's hovering above you and pouring down warmth,
Light,
Golden liquid sunshine.
As you breathe deeply,
You might even take your hand and place it at the crown of your head,
Your crown chakra.
Imagine this liquid sunshine slowly as you inhale,
Expanding,
And as you exhale,
Dropping down into the crown of your head,
Filling your crown chakra,
Your center of universal consciousness with light and warmth and love.
Breathing in,
The sunshine expands and as you exhale,
The liquid sunshine moves now into your third eye chakra,
Your insight center,
The place where you store your memories,
Your knowledge,
Your information,
And your aha moments,
The space in between your eyebrows.
The sunshine floats its way down and radiates through your head,
Your skull,
Your cheeks,
Your eyes,
Your ears,
Filling your insight center with love and light.
Breathing in again,
Allowing the sun to glow and expand,
And as you exhale,
The liquid sunshine makes its way into your throat chakra,
Your seat of authenticity,
Of speaking your truth,
Of showing up with integrity and being who you are,
Perhaps even finding who you are.
Let this sunshine illuminate the authentic nature of your being,
The promise to move through every situation as true to yourself as possible.
Inhaling again,
Let the sun glow and expand,
And as you exhale,
The sunshine makes its way down into your heart,
The center of your emotional life,
Your passion,
Your love for yourself and others,
The center of your metta.
And let that sunshine just circle you as if getting a hug from your favorite person in the world,
Sunshine arms wrapping around you,
Acknowledging your heart and your being,
Acknowledging your heart and your being,
Breathing in here,
Letting the sun glow and expand,
And as you exhale,
Dropping down into your solar plexus.
This place of gut intuition,
Of instinct,
Of moving forward with a gentle knowing of exactly who you are and what you need.
Inhaling here,
Letting the sun expand,
And as you exhale,
The sunlight moves down into your sacral chakra,
This place of passion,
Of creativity,
Of connection.
For some of us,
A womb,
A seed,
A germination,
A beginning.
Feeling the sunlight,
The warmth,
And the love resting in your lower abdomen,
Breathing in once more,
Allowing the sun to expand,
And exhale,
The sunlight drips down into your root chakra,
Down your legs,
Down your feet,
Connecting you,
Anchoring you lovingly to the earth,
Anchoring you to your seat of stability,
Your sense of well-being,
Of care,
Of nourishment,
And of home.
Breathing consciousness and love into that root chakra,
Inhaling to feel that sun expand once more,
And as you exhale,
Just imagining the sun as a bubble,
Encompassing all of you,
All seven chakras,
All fingers and toes,
Every part of you,
Surrounding you in a glowing bubble of light.
One more breath in here,
And fully exhaling.
Thank you.
