Inner Sunshine Activation • Shine Your Light

This meditation is a journey to embrace the seasons, cultivate your inner source of sunshine, and let your unique gifts shine from the inside out. In a combination of guided visualization, sound, breath, and body awareness, this journey is an anchor into your Self, inviting you to feel and be with your own inner glow.

This gentle practice can be supportive any time of the year! Yet especially in the change of seasons, as daylight fades sooner and the wind feels cooler, it is a beautiful way for you to cultivate the light within.

Welcome.

This meditation is an invitation to honor the change of seasons,

The beauty that is found in the ever-flowing impermanence of life,

The beauty that is found in light and dark and all the colors and shades in between.

It is also an invitation to remember your own power and your own place as a co-creator of this world,

This life,

This reality.

So this meditation is recorded in the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and this is what colors the tone and sets the tone,

Energetic tone for this space.

So I invite you to find a quiet and comfortable place for you.

You may wish to light a candle or set up a beautiful place if that's your thing.

I invite you to begin standing up and feeling the feet on the floor,

Really taking a moment to let your body sway a little bit from side to side into any movements that come naturally to you.

And then I invite you slowly to find stillness.

You can gently close your eyes or soften your gaze and land it somewhere you enjoy looking,

Perhaps on the candle,

Perhaps on a plant in your room or in your surroundings or a picture or anything else that feels like it brings comfort and ease to you.

And to begin I invite you to place both your hands on your chest so you can feel your heartbeat and take a few deep breaths.

Feel your feet on the earth and visualize yourself being held by the center of the earth itself.

Feel the gravity of your body,

The natural gravity that holds you,

Keeps you connected to the earth and visualize the center of the earth as a golden shining point far down beneath you.

And notice your axis,

Notice how you're standing and feel the grounding point of gravity.

Take a deep breath and feel the strength of the earth inside of you.

And I invite you to breathe in deeply again and let your energy,

Your awareness expand upwards towards the sky and see before your inner eye visualize a star far,

Far,

Far above your head.

Your life star,

Your guiding life star.

And connect with it.

Connect with its bright and burning fiery rays.

Connect with its twinkling light however it shows up for you.

And feel yourself being held in the space between heaven and earth,

Perfectly exactly where you need to be.

And from this place we'll begin our journey.

Breathe deeply,

Allow the breaths to nourish your entire body,

Fill you up with life energy.

And as you exhale,

Let go,

Allow your weight to sink into the floor,

Allow all tensions in your body to release.

And now I invite you to breathe in the warmth of the summer sun,

All the beautiful experiences you've been blessed with,

The adventures you've been on,

The people you connected with,

The places you've discovered.

Let it fill you from the inside out.

And wherever you are right now in the world,

Whatever season you're experiencing right now,

I want to invite you to open your heart to those nourishing beautiful moments that make you feel alive,

Joyful,

Free.

And let them fill you up with light,

Love and energy.

And as you breathe out,

Allow everything to return to its natural place.

As you exhale,

Let go.

Recognize the beauty in the change of seasons,

The beauty of impermanence.

Everything is changing inside of us,

Outside of us,

In every single moment.

We get to witness the unfolding of life.

We get to take part in it.

We get to choose what we focus on,

What we create.

And trust that everything you need is right here.

All the right ingredients to participate in this joyful unfolding of life,

Everything you need to create the life you dream of and you wish for,

Is right here inside of you.

I invite you to go another layer deeper,

To really feel into the inner landscape of your body.

You may wish to still keep your hands on your heart or your chest.

You may wish to let them go or even to let them trace over the body gently and warmly.

And just feeling into how do you feel today,

What is present today.

So notice the physical sensations,

The physical landscape of the body.

On the outside,

How is your skin feeling?

Are there any tickly,

Tingling sensations?

Are there spaces where it's warmer or cooler?

Just take some moments,

Take some time to explore your own body in this moment right now.

You may also wish to take some gentle movements.

Let your body speak to you and then slowly we will shift and transition to noticing our inner bodies.

What can you feel on the inside of your body?

Your heartbeat,

The most present and strong sensation perhaps.

Your breath.

Can you find a way to even sense all the inner movements like the blood flowing through your veins?

All the cells of your body.

Feel your bones,

Feel your fluids,

Feel your body from the inside.

And then I invite you to also feel into the emotional landscape of your body.

You may wish to imagine it like different colors that you see.

It may be different sensation,

Different experiences that show themselves to you.

Without needing to label everything,

Without needing to understand everything,

Allow yourself to really drop into sensing and perhaps seeing with your inner eye what is present.

And as you witness this unfolding of colors on your inner world,

On the inside of you,

Take a few deep breaths and gently allow yourself to consciously nourish yourself once more.

To consciously breathe in the sunlight,

The warmth,

The love and everything you need,

Everything you desire.

Allow yourself to breathe it in and fill your body with the warm sun rays.

Is there a quality that you would like to invite or more of into your life?

Something that really helps you to shine?

Something that you feel expands your life,

Fills it with joy,

Magic,

Abundance and beauty?

Open your mind and invite a quality to become present.

Don't second-guess it,

Just go with what shows up first.

And then connect with this quality more strongly.

Breathe deeply again and allow it to fill your entire body.

Feel this quality filling up your entire body from head to toe.

And each time you breathe,

Visualize the light of this quality growing stronger and stronger.

Now shining on and illuminating your entire body and even outside of your body,

The space around you.

See the light and the energy of this quality illuminating and shining across your whole room or space in nature where you are.

Across your whole home or forest or wherever you may be.

And allow it to expand more and more and more and more.

With every breath you draw in,

You feel this energy getting stronger,

Stronger and stronger.

And it grows and it is so strong that it expands even beyond what you can see.

It travels out into the world until it illuminates all the whole world.

Your whole world,

Your whole life.

Breathe deeply and allow this energy to naturally grow,

Become stronger and stronger,

Brighter and brighter.

And feel it also on the inside of you,

In your heartbeat.

This is your life energy.

This is your precious gift.

Breathe,

Breathe and allow it to expand and feel it.

Feel it nourishing you and everything it touches.

And feel it blessing everything and everyone it comes into contact with.

Now take a few deep breaths and really feel this energy filling you up from head to toe.

And visualize and see where you are standing.

And see the different life paths that you have taken,

That you are taking,

That you're going to take.

And feel each of these life paths fill up with this energy.

See yourself standing and all the paths going away from you,

Shining and glowing in this beautiful light.

They are just naturally flowing like a growing glowing river,

Like a growing power.

And feel all of this energy on the inside of you and in your world.

Take a few deep breaths.

Allow yourself to feel this quality.

Feel this energy one more time fully illuminating your entire body,

Your heart,

Your lungs,

All your organs,

All your spheres,

Every part of you.

Feel it illuminating your whole life,

Your whole reality,

Your whole experience and everyone you come in contact with,

Everything you touch.

Now slowly become more conscious again of your body.

Allow your weight to shift a little bit from side to side.

And I invite you now to take your hands and wrap them together really really fast until you can feel the warmth,

The heat.

And then gently place them on your face.

Feel the warmth radiating.

And again rub your hands together really really really fast until you feel the warmth and heat.

Put it on your face gently.

Let yourself feel the energy you created.

One more time,

One last time.

Wrap your hands together.

Gently place them on your face and gently blink your eyes open.

Watching through the little little spaces in between your finger.

And gently take your hands away.

Gently open your eyes.

Look around,

See where you are.

And to close this journey together I want to invite you to sing an OM together.

And for this you can raise your arms,

Stretch them up into the sky,

Connect them together and find a prayer position in front of the heart.

And we'll sing together.

Thank you so much for taking part in this journey,

For joining me.

And I wish you all the very best.

Lots of love.
