Hello,
My name is Ruthie,
And today I'm going to guide you on a visualization to help you tend to your power.
Before we begin,
Let's center ourselves in this shared moment.
Go ahead and close your eyes.
Inhale deeply through your nose.
Expand your diaphragm and pull that breath deep into your belly.
Hold and release on a sigh.
As you exhale,
Imagine the stress and tension leaving too.
Inhaling deeply again,
Feeling that breath go even into your fingertips.
Know that you are inhaling positive energy and love.
Hold,
Exhale,
Pushing out the busyness of your mind,
Leaving calm.
Inhale once more,
Feeling the breath travel down to the tips of your toes.
Hold and exhale,
Leaving space for the peace we are cultivating in this moment.
Visualize yourself lying flat on a lily pad in a lotus pond.
The day is sunny and the light warms your body.
A light breeze rustles the tree leaves and bird song tickles your senses.
You are safe here.
You are at peace here.
You are loved here.
You are more powerful than you can imagine.
You have access to an infinite well of power.
You only have to choose to dip into it.
Turn your gaze inward to your body.
Where does your power dwell?
Where on your physical body is your power anchored?
Some might say the heart space,
Others the stomach,
Perhaps the solar plexus chakra.
Wherever it is,
Focus your attention there.
Power seems like an active thing,
But you must tend to it as you tend to your physical body.
What nourishes your power?
How can you regularly recharge your power?
Are you giving your power away?
As you float surrounded by lotuses,
You can feel their energy wash over your body.
Lotuses are symbols of spiritual and mental purity.
It is no accident that they grow from muck and mire into something beautiful.
Just as we seek to elevate our awareness out of the daily distractions and stressors of life,
As we prepare to return to our bodies,
I leave you with this question to contemplate and journal on if you feel moved to do so.
What does your power need from you to flourish?
Inhale deep gratitude for the lotuses who gave you their energy.
Exhale love for the sun warming your skin.
Know that this place is always here for you.
Inhale again and wiggle your fingers and toes.
Come back to your body feeling refreshed.
Until next time.
