Transcript

Take a moment before we begin this meditation to find a position that feels nourishing for your body,

Whether that's seated or lying down.

Finding a position where you can completely release and relax into the present moment.

Inviting your eyes to close,

Begin witnessing your breath moving in and out from your nose.

Feeling the cool air graze your nostrils as you inhale,

Noticing the warmer air graze your nostrils as you exhale.

Thoughts might arise and instead of trying to resist the thoughts,

Simply come back to the breath and allow the thoughts to come and to go.

This breath anchoring you into the present moment,

Into the here and now.

Draw your awareness to the sensation of your body being held by the earth.

Noticing the support of the ground beneath you,

Holding you.

Continuing to witness the breath and witness this feeling of support.

Allow yourself to relax into the ease of knowing you are held and you are supported by the mother,

By the earth at all times.

Notice what it feels like in your body when you fully witness the support and allow yourself to surrender to it.

Allow yourself to be held.

Now inviting the breath deeper,

Feeling the navel expand out on your inhalation,

Feeling it draw in towards the spine on your exhalation.

And beginning to notice the energy that lives here at your navel,

At the center of your body,

The many pura chakra or the city of gyms.

This place that holds the core of your unique expression.

Anchor your awareness here with the breath pumping the navel in and out.

And as you breathe and anchor your awareness here,

Imagine this flame growing brighter and brighter at your navel center.

And see if you can sink into the embodied awareness of your unique individual expression.

Maybe it's a certain color,

Maybe it's a symbol,

Maybe it's a feeling.

Allow yourself to feel fully the embodied experience of your unique expression.

Let go of the mind's desire to logically explain or come up with words for this unique expression and instead focus on the sensation,

The experience of this expression of self.

Knowing that you are here to bring gifts to the world that nobody else can bring simply by being who you are.

Breathe and know that there's nothing that you need to do to embody this expression.

You simply need to feel it and allow it to be expressed through your body,

Through your beingness.

Noticing if there's any blocks that are coming up around this unique expression,

Maybe things you've heard in the past.

Perhaps you've been told you were too much or too shy or too quiet,

Too loud.

Just allow the breath to stoke the flame here at your navel,

Growing it brighter and bigger.

And imagine it's burning away all those stories that are around this expression of who you are so that this flame can grow more clear,

More bright,

More expressed.

And if feelings arise that are attached to these stories that you've told about who you are or stories that you've been told about who you are,

Just simply allow them to be experienced now.

Not pushing them away,

But also not holding them too tightly.

Instead just anchoring into the breath,

Witnessing them and allowing them to move through and out.

Every inhalation expanding your awareness of what is present here in your body.

Every exhalation releasing what does not serve you,

Releasing what is not part of the true expression of your being.

Allowing this to be easeful and noticing if difficult emotions or sensations arise,

If there's a tendency to float into your mind and be carried away in thought.

Come back to the physical experience,

Come back to your body in this moment in your breath and allow it to easefully move out what is here to be released,

What is ready to be released.

There's no need to force,

There's no need to try.

You can simply breathe and let it be so.

Holding at your center this symbol,

This word,

This color,

This expression of yourself in whatever form it takes in your mind's eye and continuing to come back to that center point,

To that truth of who you are.

Continuing to hold this anchor point,

Start to notice how it is supported by the ground beneath you,

How the earth lovingly holds you and nourishes this unique expression of yourself.

Notice this flame being fed not only by your breath but also from the life force and wisdom of the earth.

Noticing the energy flow up from the earth and in to the center point at your navel.

This fire growing brighter and bigger with the support and the contributions of the earth.

How would you be,

How would you embody if you knew that the earth was here to support your truest expression?

Breathing now,

Continuing to hold this anchor point at your navel center but noticing the energy that's flowing from the crown of your head down your spine.

This flame of your self expression,

Of your uniqueness also being fed by the infinite divine from above.

Whatever word you call the infinite oneness of which you are a part,

Notice this energy flowing from the sky,

From the heavens,

From the infinite expanse above down your spine also feeding this flame of your unique self expression.

Feeling that it is both an expression of your unique life force coming from within yet also being held and supported by the earth and expanded by the divine expression from above.

Noticing that the earth is here to support you,

To hold you in your unique expression of who you are and the divine is here to expand,

To inspire and to remind you of your inherent divinity.

Even noticing the experience of this flow of energy from above and below feeding and circulating here at your navel center.

Notice the embodied experience of this self expression being fed from both of these powerful sources.

I invite you to imagine who you would be,

How you would love,

What you would express,

What gifts you might give to the world if you held this anchor at your navel center,

This trust in who you are and this knowing that you were supported in your unique gifts,

In your unique self expression,

In the inherent worthiness of your being by everything in creation.

How could you change the world simply by showing up anchored here at your navel center,

Anchored into this knowing that you are perfect exactly as you are,

That you are inherently worthy and divine and that the world needs you to be exactly who you are,

To express the codes of your soul that only you can express.

Feeling the rise and fall of your breath here at your navel center,

Let this be an invitation as you move through the rest of your day,

Your month,

Your year to notice if you are in full expression of this unique gift that you are here to bring the world,

To notice if the choices you are making as you move through your day are in alignment with the core of your being.

Knowing now what this feels like in your body,

Noticing if the situations you find yourself in,

If the people you find yourself surrounded by allow this expression to come through.

Knowing that as you courageously shine your light in the world and embody the essence of who you are,

That you will attract situations,

People,

An entire life experience that allows you and empowers you to be exactly who you are,

Who you are here to be and embody in this lifetime.

Closing this meditation with three cleansing breaths.

Take a deep inhale from your nose,

Expanding your belly,

Your chest,

All the way to the crown of your head,

Hold,

And exhale it out through the mouth,

Letting it go.

Again inhaling,

Expanding the belly,

The chest,

All the way to the crown of your head and hold.

For the last inhale,

Making this the deepest yet,

Inhaling from the base of your spine,

All the way to the crown of your head,

Hold,

And exhale,

Let it all go.

Thank you for going on this journey with me today.

May you embody your light in this world and share your gifts with all.

Sat Nam.
