Welcome to this guided meditation to help you boost your confidence.
Just begin by sitting in an upright position.
Take a moment to just adjust your sit bones so that they are even on either side.
Then focus on your spine as you bring it into straight alignment.
Feeling each vertebra stack,
One on top of the other.
If it's comfortable to do so,
Slightly roll your shoulders backward to open your heart area as you place your palms in your lap facing upward and gently closing your eyes.
Begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose,
Feeling your stomach expand fully.
Hold at the top and when you're ready,
Exhale with a long audible sigh.
Again,
Breathe in through your nose,
Let your stomach expand.
Hold at the top and when you're ready,
Exhale with a long audible sigh.
Let's do that once more together.
In through your nose deeply,
Feeling your stomach expand.
Hold at the top and when you're ready,
Exhale with a long audible sigh.
Good.
Now just return to breathing at your right rhythm at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Breathing in through your nose.
You can either breathe out through your mouth or out through your nose,
Whatever is right for you.
In fact,
For this meditation,
If you feel like it,
You could exaggerate your breathing in your ribcage so that on your in-breath,
Your ribcage expands,
On the out-breath,
It contracts.
Breathing in and out in this way generates more energy in your body.
On each inhale,
Imagine a bright orange light entering through your nostrils,
Flowing all the way down into your lower abdomen.
See this orange light landing approximately two inches below your navel and a couple of inches inward.
Keep breathing the orange light in on every inhale and on every exhale,
Watch it expand into a perfect sphere.
Once you have a beautiful ball of bright orange light a couple of inches below your navel,
Just focus in on this energy center.
This energy center is known as the sacral chakra and it's responsible for creativity and for bringing things into action.
Take this energy now and start to generate a feeling of being ready to take action on growing and expanding your confidence.
Just begin by moving your hips in a circular motion,
Just really gently and slowly,
Allowing your hips to move a wee bit as you wake up the sacral chakra to get that energy flowing.
When you feel as though it's awakened,
You can pause on moving.
Take a deep in-breath,
Pause slightly at the top.
Then when you're ready,
Exhale with a long audible sigh.
As you return to breathing at a pace that's comfortable for you,
Your right rhythm.
Breathing gently and deeply in and out.
I'd like you to allow your awareness to travel up into the area known as your solar plexus.
This is located in between the rib cage,
Directly in front,
In the center of your torso.
And as you focus in on this space,
Allowing your rib cage to expand on every inhale and contract on every exhale.
Imagine a glowing golden light flowing through your nose on every in-breath and turning into a golden ball of light on every exhale.
See this golden ball of light forming directly in the middle of your torso.
Because you have activated your second chakra,
The sacral chakra,
You are geared up to get your third chakra,
Your solar plexus chakra,
Your solar plexus chakra into action.
This is the energy center that governs confidence.
This energy center is the one that allows you and enables you to put yourself out there and truly,
Truly be you.
Keep breathing in the golden light on every inhale and sending it to the energy center on every exhale.
Once you feel this perfect ball of glowing golden light,
Just focus on it.
Feel the strength and the courage that lives here.
Notice within this inner knowing that you are confident.
Notice what physical sensation this brings up for you.
You might notice a bit of a tingling or vibrating.
What does confidence feel like within your body?
As you feel this confidence within you,
You now imagine before you a mirror.
And in this mirror you see yourself,
But there's something different.
This is the version of you that exists when you are fully confident.
What does that version look like?
How do they carry themselves?
What kind of things do they do?
Really allow yourself to get a good glimpse and understanding of this version of you.
Feel yourself embodying this version of you now.
What does it feel like to be this incredibly confident version of yourself?
You should feel natural and effortless because it's who you truly are.
There's nothing you need to do,
No one you need to prove anything to.
Just connect with this confident version of yourself that already exists.
And as you're tapped into that feeling,
Beginning to feel appreciation toward yourself for doing this work,
For taking time for yourself like this.
Take that feeling of confidence with you as you bring your awareness back to where you're sitting.
Start to wiggle your fingers and your toes and ever so gently open your eyes,
Coming back into the room around you.
