Hi there,

This is Shannon from Mindful MBA.

Today we'll be working with a short guided meditation around empowerment.

We all know what it's like to feel a sense of doubt or uncertainty,

Especially when we're taking on big things,

No matter how excited we are about them.

We'll work with a little visualization and breath here to remind you of how powerful you actually are,

Especially when it comes to working with your purpose.

You'll start by finding a comfortable seat.

I encourage you to stay seated or even standing for this meditation today.

Flutter your eyes closed if you feel comfortable doing so.

Otherwise,

Find a soft spot to hold your focus for just these next few moments.

Soften your gaze in that space.

Draw your attention inwardly to the center of your chest,

The space at the base of your lungs,

Just above your belly button.

And imagine there a little tiny bulb light.

If that doesn't resonate with you,

You can see a light bulb there,

Whatever works.

With your focus in this area,

Notice how this part of your body responds to breath.

Little or big movements as air moves in and out.

You may feel your ribs begin to open towards the sides of your torso as your lungs fill up with air,

Like two balloons in your chest.

Right below this is that speck of light.

Know that this ember glowing here is the home of your personal power,

Your confidence,

Ambition.

Working with this rhythm of breath,

Take an inhale and feel,

See that light begin to glow a bit brighter.

As you exhale,

Just allow your body to release,

Creating space so that as you breathe in again,

You can see it expand even more.

Every exhale creates a little bit more space.

And inhale,

It grows even more,

Taking up more space within you.

Maybe it sparkles,

Maybe it's a certain color.

And as this light continues to grow aided by your breath,

You begin to feel the confidence,

The power.

These qualities with which it is infused expanding throughout your chest.

Next,

Inhale now,

It's as large as your chest.

Its embers reaching out towards the ends of your torso,

The edges,

Just like your breath.

Feel yourself infused with this sense,

Clarity of purpose,

The power to achieve your goals.

Perhaps you can see one of your goals ahead of you here.

Feel the source of energy reminding you that you are equipped.

You have everything you need within you.

There's no longer space for doubt or uncertainty or questions about if,

How.

Every inhale,

There's more and more certainty that yes,

You can,

You will.

Know that this power center is always within you.

It needs only your attention,

Your intention and your breath to glow as brightly as you see it now.

Perhaps even more,

There's no limit.

Perhaps you feel your chest lifting a bit higher,

Your chin level with the earth here.

Perhaps the sides of your mouth curl up into a knowing smile.

There is nothing you cannot achieve that is rightfully yours.

You have everything you need within you to achieve it.

As you shift your focus gently,

Softly away from this light,

Allow it to continue glowing.

Take a full breath in through your nose and a powerful cleansing breath out through your mouth.

Thank you for joining me today for this short meditation.

Have a beautiful rest of your day.

Whatever it is,

Go out there.

Get it done.
