It's hard when we feel others aren't hearing us,
Or noticing our contributions or abilities.
When we find ourselves questioning our worth,
It can be helpful to turn inward for a boost.
Close your eyes,
Tall spine,
Arrive in this moment.
Bring your awareness to the space inside yourself just above your belly button,
The place where you get gut feelings about things.
There,
Connect with your sense of self.
Let it glow a lovely yellow.
Allow it to grow brighter.
Feel how it radiates in all directions and dimensions.
Let it fill your whole body,
Seeping up into your torso,
Chest,
Arms,
Hands,
Neck,
And down into your hips,
Legs,
Feet.
Now pull the energy back to the space in your gut where it started,
A concentrated ball of yellow light.
This internal fire,
That's unique to you,
Is always burning.
And while the world around you may seem not to notice,
You can always turn inward to be reminded.
Take a breath,
And open your eyes.
