Well,
Hello and welcome.
So as we find our meditation today,
We're going to invoke the color yellow.
It'll be luminosity of the sun,
The warmth and the energy of the sun.
It's also involved with the sight and our eyes.
It's also,
Of course,
Involved with the gastric and hypogastric plexus that supply our digestive system,
Including our spleen,
Our liver,
Our stomach,
And the pancreas.
It is the center of energy and vitality,
The center of transformation and power.
And our willpower,
It is a center of self-esteem and it governs digestion and the pancreas.
This is also when this chakra is,
I see,
Hyperactive.
There's control,
Aggression,
Anger,
And abuse of power.
And this is from an overstimulated Manipura chakra.
Deficiency in this area includes shame,
Includes low self-esteem,
Includes maybe some depression or lethargy.
And when balanced,
Feel that vital energy.
We feel energized.
And we can use this energy to not only lift ourselves up,
But to also lift others up.
So to encourage others in their personal strength and willpower.
And this is also a place of the gut brain.
You probably have all heard about or read about the gut brain connection.
So not only is it digestion,
But it's also our feelings of intuition,
It's our mood,
Our attitudes,
And our gut feeling,
Our ability to sort through our thoughts,
Through our moods,
Through our emotions.
And yet it becomes this storehouse for intuition that is outside of our thinking brain,
Outside of cognition.
So we can invoke this today with the sound of Ram.
And the sound is E.
Just go ahead and get comfortable and we'll start to invoke the sound in a Ram,
In this E note.
So you can begin,
Ram,
Ram,
Maybe hit the high note.
Start to close your eyes and feel the vibration of Ram.
Maybe the hands are resting on the lap.
And begin to feel the warmth,
The vitality,
And the radiation,
The heat from the solar plexus.
Again,
When it's over activated,
We're going to experience maybe some indigestion.
So if it's too much warmth and too much fire in this area,
And you're already feeling a little bit stimulated or overwhelmed,
Maybe gastric indigestion,
Then try not to envision the warmth of this,
But just the radiation and then the flowing of the breath,
Natural in and out.
And just feeling the breath coming into the abdominal area that will stimulate digestion.
The poor digestion you want to activate.
And we can do this with different breathing techniques as well.
But continue the Ram,
Feeling that vibration,
Maybe saying it out loud,
Saying it quietly,
Or just feeling it and seeing the color yellow,
The golden light of the sunlight,
Feeling it radiating and moving throughout your body from this place of courage.
The breath is tranquil,
Long,
And fine.
And feel the breath massaging your low back,
The kidney areas,
Digestive organs.
If you don't know where the spleen,
The liver are,
Just imagine them being nourished and massaged by your breath.
This is also a place of our goals and intentions and desires.
So can you feel,
Sense,
Breathe into those goals and intentions and desires?
Are they showing up?
Have they been suppressed?
How are they arising?
As we strengthen this Manipura Chakra,
These intentions begin to get clearer.
And we can move forward with those intentions and move forward in life with clarity,
With courage,
With confidence.
Drawing in the willpower to manifest your dreams and desires.
And not from a place of ego,
But from a place of that self-nourishment,
Of confidence.
And when we are elevated in this area,
We can also support another in their endeavors.
Rising tides lift all boats,
Unless we are firmly anchored to shore.
But we still need to move forward from the Earth's chakra being grounded,
Stable,
To come to our power center,
Use it for our own good and for the good of others.
And we can begin to develop a sense of trust.
Trusting in that gut feeling to move forward,
And so receiving the abundance of this energy,
Feeling determination.
I am capable.
I am confident.
I am empowered.
I am capable.
I am confident.
I am empowered.
I am capable.
I am confident.
I am empowered.
I move forward with my goals,
My desires,
With confidence.
I am capable.
I am confident.
I am empowered.
I move forward with my goals and desires,
With confidence,
Courage.
And as I lift my own self up,
I too can lift others up.
And notice if there has been a shift in energy,
If there has been a shift in the vibration,
If there is a shift in the color that you're experiencing.
And what else has shown itself?
What else has arisen?
And just a few more moments in silence.
And if you're ready to lift your gaze,
Let's maybe move forward.
Let's maybe move the shoulders,
Wrists,
Any other movement that you might need.
Namaste.
