Hi,
My name is Johnson Chong,
The founder of Sage House and the creator of Sage Meditations.
This is a meditation for connecting to your inner power and manifesting your dreams.
Find a comfortable seat either sitting cross-legged on a cushion or sitting upright on a chair.
If you're sitting upright on a chair,
Sit towards the front edge,
Evening the weight on your two sitting bones.
Turn your left palm to face up and place it on your lap.
Place the right palm facing up and place that on top of your left palm.
Your left palm is cupping the right palm.
In a gesture of support,
Your two hands are resting underneath your navel,
Supporting the energy of your personal power and connecting to your ability to manifest your heart's desire.
Take a deep breath through the nose and exhale,
Sigh through the mouth.
Take three more cleansing breaths.
Release your day.
Release any tensions in your body.
Let everything go.
Inhale,
Lengthen the spine,
Get tall.
Exhale,
Shift the weight forward onto the front of your sit bones.
Inhale,
Shift the weight backwards on the back of the sit bones.
Imagine you are a pendulum rocking forwards and backwards.
Inhale,
Rock back.
Exhale,
Rock forward.
Do this subtly and gently.
No tension on the lower back,
The neck or jaw.
Maintain a sense of softness and ease throughout your rocking.
As you allow the rocking of your body to deepen,
You will connect to your natural rhythm.
This natural rhythm soothes your body.
This natural rhythm brings you to a place of a clean slate where you are able to paint anything you wish.
Take a moment to visualize an animal that represents your inner power.
Don't second-guess or spend too much time doubting.
Whatever animal appears to mind first,
Go with that.
Notice how this animal moves,
How it behaves.
Notice every single aspect in how this animal connects to your inner power,
Whether the connections are obvious or not so obvious.
Take a leap of faith and become your animal.
Step into the shoes of your animal guide.
Notice what kind of environment your animal lives in,
Its natural habitat.
Observe where you are.
Notice how you command the space around you.
Are you moving from a place of instinct,
Of intuition,
Or are you moving from a place of fear?
Whatever you experience is completely acceptable.
There's no rules,
Just observe what's happening.
Now bring your attention back to the present moment,
To a situation in your life where you are losing some of your power,
Where you feel you have no choice and that you have to acquiesce to someone else's needs.
Is there any relationship between what you have just seen with your animal guide and this current life situation?
Notice the parallels and similarities.
Now let it go.
You may visualize the same animal guide or completely new animal guide,
Whichever feels most helpful.
You are your animal guide and your animal guide is you.
The two of you are completely interconnected.
Your guide gives you strength and perspective to change what you need to change in your current life so that you may express yourself authentically from a place of personal power.
This power is not brutal or violent.
This power is the power of self mastery,
Of deep inner knowing,
Of speaking your truth.
This power is you walking your walk and talking your talk.
Spend the next few moments integrating with your animal guide.
As you integrate,
See and feel your vast limitless potential.
See yourself at the top of your game.
See yourself as the fullest expression of your life's purpose.
See yourself dreaming a new reality into being.
You are strong,
You are powerful,
And you are important.
