Find a comfortable position,
A place where you can be relaxed,
But also alert,
In control of where your awareness lies.
Soften the muscles in your face.
Relax your shoulders down,
Away from your ears.
Soften your belly.
Don't hold it in or make it small.
Just let it relax.
Take a deep breath in through your nose.
Now open the mouth and sigh it out.
Take another deep breath in.
Open the mouth and sigh it out.
Now seal the lips and begin to breathe in and out of your nose.
Keeping to a deep,
Slow breath.
And then begin to cultivate your Ujjayi breath.
Restrict the muscles in the back of the throat to create an oceanic whisper.
I want you to really commit to this breath.
Breathe deep into your belly.
And with every out-breath,
Press the air down deep into your core.
Today we are focusing on the solar plexus,
The energy center that lies within your belly.
This center holds our personality,
Our independence,
Our confidence,
Our energy.
Bring your awareness to this energy center,
Right above your belly button.
Imagine you are radiating yellow light from this space.
This space holds our truest self,
Something this world likes to try to take from us,
Our true self.
Our self can be messy.
Our passions and pleasure aren't always graceful or pretty,
But they are us.
Take a deep inhale.
As you exhale,
Begin to build fire in the belly.
Feel this heat radiate throughout your body.
Use your Ujjayi breath to fuel this fire.
As you inhale,
Draw confidence up from the earth.
As you exhale,
Release any judgment that you hold.
As you inhale,
Call in abundance.
As you exhale,
Release shame in who you are.
The affirmation for our solar plexus is,
I am fire.
So as you inhale,
Recite to yourself,
I am.
And as you exhale,
Recite fire.
Inhale,
I am.
Exhale,
Fire.
Now I want you to imagine your truest self.
Start to bring this image to your mind's eye.
What does she look like?
What is she wearing?
What is she doing?
Where is she living?
How does she speak?
What does she say?
Who is she with?
How does she express herself?
Draw this image in your mind with glorious,
Beautiful detail.
Imagining a bright yellow light in your solar plexus,
Growing,
Pulsating,
Shining bright.
Let the energy from your solar plexus fill you up.
Soften every single muscle in your body.
Remember,
With a blocked solar plexus chakra,
We begin to doubt our worth,
Opinions and achievements.
You are worthy.
Your opinions are valid.
Your achievements are so beautiful.
Now I want you to repeat the following affirmations,
Either out loud or in your head.
I am powerful,
Strong and confident.
I can achieve anything I set my mind to.
I confidently welcome new experiences.
I am competent,
Capable and strong.
I am aligned with my purpose.
I am my highest and most authentic self.
I am enough,
Just as I am.
I will not settle for less than I deserve.
I am worthy,
Strong,
Powerful,
Courageous and always enough.
Take a deep breath in through your nose.
Then open your mouth and sigh it out.
Take another deep breath in through your nose.
Open your mouth and sigh it out.
Take one last deep,
Deep breath in through your nose and then open your mouth and sigh it out.
You can begin to bring your awareness back into this room.
Return your breath to its natural rhythm.
Begin to bring slow movements back to your physical body.
And when you're ready,
You can slowly open your eyes.
And when you're ready,
You can slowly open your eyes.
And when you're ready,
You can slowly open your eyes.
When you're ready,
You can slowly open your eyes.
You
