Hello and welcome to your guided meditation practice.
My name is Maddie and today we will be exploring the Fire element and the Solar Plexus Chakra,
Or Energy Centre.
This energy centre in our bodies is set to harbour our personal power.
From this energy centre,
We derive our ambition,
Our strength,
And our will.
In the energetic body,
Fire represents passion,
Motivation,
And transformation.
I am so happy to be guiding you today.
And so let's begin in a comfortable seat,
Or by laying down on a mat.
Take your time to make your way to wherever it is that your body is inviting you to go to start your meditation practice today.
Make your way there slowly,
With intention,
And allow yourself to get comfortable.
Slowly close your eyes and turn your attention inward to your breath.
Keeping your mouth closed,
Breathe in through your nose,
Taking your in-breath deep into your belly.
Follow your inhale with your mind.
And gently exhale in reverse,
Emptying your belly.
Follow your exhale out your nose.
Inhale again long and deep through your nose.
Observe where your breath is coming from and where it is going.
Perhaps you notice the temperature of the air and the length of your inhale.
Exhale in reverse,
Emptying your belly once again.
Follow your exhale out your nose.
Allow this rhythmic movement of breath to be the foundation of your meditation today.
Each time you catch your mind wandering off,
Bring it back to breath,
To this very moment,
Here and now.
Know that you can always return to this present moment simply by returning to your breath.
It is always available for you.
Now keeping your eyes closed,
Place your hands on your solar plexus energy center.
This region is located at your abdomen just above your belly button.
You can place one hand on top of the other.
Begin to feel the warmth radiating from this region against your hands.
Picture this warmth transforming into a single flame flickering and dancing in your mind's eye.
This single flame begins to expand and grow.
In your mind's eye,
The fire becomes larger and more vibrant,
Crackling and glowing a brilliant red light.
This fire releases even more warmth and radiant heat against your hands that only you can feel.
Now envision the warmth fueling and integrating with your feelings,
Ideas,
Thoughts,
And desires.
What is it that you would like to invite into your life?
Picture this flame growing larger and larger,
Burning away your doubts,
Guilt,
And insecurities,
Leaving in their place confidence and strength.
We will invite in this confidence and strength with a series of affirmations.
I will say each affirmation twice.
Feel free to repeat the affirmation with me the second time,
Or you can just listen.
I am proud of who I am becoming.

I let go of my limiting beliefs that do not serve me.

And wherever you are,
Return to that burning fire in your mind's eye.
This roaring fire begins to wind down until it is a single flame once again.
This single flame reduces to heat emanating from your core that you can feel against your hands.
Allow yourself to sit with this warmth and really feel it against your skin.
This warmth stays at your center forever and always.
Know that you can feel it every time you place your hands on your solar plexus and connect with the fire element in this way.
You can ignite this flame at any time you need it.
It is always available for you.
It is always within you.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Until next time.
