A Cleansing Visualization (+10 Mins Silence)

In this session we practice a "Cleansing Visualization".

Begin with hands and attention upon the heart-space, visualization it as a light/flame/ball of energy.

"With the breath the hear-space grows stronger and brighter, and we embody, embrace, and become the heart space".

From that space, and with the breath, a dense golden healing liquid entering the body and filling you up. Feet, legs, belly, chest, arms, neck, head, then flowing out and over.

The nature of this liquid is such that at takes with it anything that is not you.

This visualization practice helps you to shift anything you are holding onto, and become aware of things that are not yet wanting to release. If, during this practice, you discover something that isn't wanting to shift, get curious and compassionate. Ask that part what it wants to let you know or what it needs from you, and with calm confidence, listen. Eventually it will release/integrate.

Hello and welcome to the session. I invite you to take a seat or lie down and get yourself comfortable. You can close down the eyes if you wish and just begin by taking some slow deep breaths in through the nose. Just take a moment to scan the body and the mind. Perhaps release anything that you're holding on to, Any surface level tensions or thoughts that can pass, Allow it to pass. And place your hand upon your heart space. In this session we're going to work on a cleansing visualization. Like all visualizations, The practice of visualization, People have varying beliefs. Some believe that it is solely a inner practice, Whilst others believe that a visualization can impact the external world. But regardless of your internal belief system, An inner visualization practice, And in this case an inner cleanse, Is at the very least a psychological response. It is a process that we can use to help ground, To help practice, And to help release. All rituals, Even those that are made up, Heal and help because the reality is that every ritual is made up. So with those caveats aside, Belief systems aside, We're going to work on a inner healing and cleansing visualization. So with your hand upon your heart space, We're going to begin by visualizing the heart space as a glowing ball of healing energy, Of light, Or a flame. Just for a moment at least, With the breath, Visualize the heart space growing stronger and brighter as you embody, Embrace, And become the heart space. I'm taking a moment now to visualize a dense cleansing golden liquid entering the body through the top of the head. It's going to begin filling up the feet, Into the legs, Into the belly, Into the chest, The hands, The neck, The head, Then flowing out the top of the crown of the head, Flowing over you and then away. The nature of this dense, Golden cleansing liquid is such that anything that is not you floats to the surface, To the top. And as this liquid enters, It takes with it anything that is not you. Any tensions, Any energies, Any hang-ups may be visualized as sort of little specks of dirt or darkness, Cannot help but float to the top. And as this liquid comes in, Fills up, Comes out, Flows over and away, It takes with it anything that is not you. And upon the heart space, Visualizing the heart space growing stronger and brighter as we embody, Embrace, And become the heart space. And visualizing the dense, Healing liquid, Filling us up, Taking with us, Taking with it anything that is not us. Visualizing it coming in, Filling us up, Flowing out the top of the head, Over and taking away anything that is not us. You could imagine this process like you are a cup of water, Perhaps, That currently has impurities or externalities or isn't yet pure. You're visualizing more water coming in, As that water comes in, It fills up the cup, The cup begins to overflow, Releasing all of the impurities. Over time, Over time, Over time, Eventually, All that will be left in the cup is the pure water. All the impurities will have floated to the top, Come out over the top and washed away. As you're visualizing the dense, Golden, Healing liquid entering, Filling us up, Flowing over, Away and releasing, You may notice that there are parts that seem stuck. The nature of this healing liquid is that if something is not being released, That gradually and over time, It works upon it. This process is you taking steps to release. If you do notice that something does not want to move, Does not want to release, Take a moment to really get curious about that. What are you holding on to? What needs to be looked at? What needs to be done? What does that part of you or part of your past want to let you know? What is it doing for you? What does it need from you to release? With the breath, The heart space grows stronger and brighter. We embody, Embrace and become the heart space. Visualizing the dense, Golden, Cleansing liquid flowing in, Filling us up, Flowing out and over and away, Taking with it anything that is not us. Visualizing the things that are not us perhaps as impurities, Darkness floating to the top, Floating out and floating away. And anything that does not want to budge just yet, Knowing that the nature of this liquid is such that over time it will work on it and release. And getting curious about those parts, Connecting to them, Looking and seeing what's there. Taking another slow, Deep, Sighing breath. Choosing how you would like to end the session. With all visualizations, You have an option. You can either choose to gently release the visualization, End the cleansing, Let go of the heart space, Returning back to the room. Or you can choose to keep this process happening in the background. As you go through the day, Every so often you check into the heart space, Visualizing it as a glowing ball of energy or a light or a flame. You check into this process of cleansing, Visualizing the dense, Healing, Cleansing liquid coming in, Filling you up, Flowing out over and away. That's your choice and both options are valid. All visualizations are us impacting our inner state at the very least. And they're all an opportunity to introspect. This practice, The cleansing liquid practice, Helps us to release what wants to release. But also can help draw our attention to things that don't. If you notice internally, Visually, Something you're holding on to that this process does not want to budge, Turn your attention to it. There's a message there. There's something that you need to know, Perhaps do. And with curiosity, With compassion, With calm confidence, You'll be able to get some introspection, Some internal understanding, Perhaps some integration. And over time, Release. So thank you for joining me and I'll see you in the next session. But if you like, We can spend 10 more minutes together, Perhaps continuing the visualization or just working on our own practice. Let's begin. If you'd like to maintain the meditation, You're more than welcome to do so. But for everyone else, Just returning to the room, Returning back to your body. It's taking a moment to acknowledge the act of self-care that this meditation, This visualization, And all practices are. You are doing something out of compassion, Self-love, To heal, To release, To grow. And that's beautiful. I also want to remind you that any visualization and almost any practice is yours. Take it, Leave it, Adapt it. This healing, Dense, Cleansing liquid, You can deploy this at any time you like. If you realize you're feeling overwhelmed or you've had a interesting conversation with someone, Take yourself to a space, Hand upon the heart space, Visualize the heart space growing stronger. Visualize the liquid coming in, Flowing up, Filling you up, Coming out, Over and away. Slow, Calm breaths. It'll help. At the very least, It's you practicing an internal cycle of healing. It's a psychological response. Depending on your belief system, Perhaps it's more. Like I said, These are yours to explore. I'll see you in the next session. Catch y'all.
