Let the Energy Light you Up (Guided Meditation)

Begin by getting into whatever position feels best to you. Trust what your body wants and needs. Hitting pause if you need to and coming back when you're ready. Once you are, lovingly close those miraculous eyes of yours. And begin to tune into your breath. Feeling the air flow sweetly through you, both in and out. Letting your awareness follow the air's journey. Feeling it flowing in and following it as it flows out. See if you can invite the breath to become even more natural, soft and comfortable for you. Letting the air flow however it wishes. And begin to become more aware of the weight of gravity. Feeling the points of contact between you and the surface on which you're resting. Inviting any muscles you do not need to use right now to be slack and heavy. And as you breathe at whatever pace feels best to you, you feel yourself entering into this moment. All that matters is now. You being here for you. You are here for you. Notice within you a sense of lightness when you tune in to how good it feels to recognize the gift of you being here for you. The gift of you showing up for you. The gift of you in general. Take a big deep breath in, stomach and rib cage fully expanding. Holding your breath when you reach the top. And when you're ready, exhale with a sigh. As your breath returns to whatever pace feels best to you, you allow yourself to stay present with that feeling of how you are giving yourself a gift. And that gift is you. Is time with you. Is being there for you. Is loving you. Breathe into this. Appreciate this. And again, invite yourself to release and relax any muscles you do not need to use. And draw your awareness into your heart's energy center. With all your awareness here, imagine you can look up to see out through the top of your head. And you can look down to see out through the soles of your feet. And imagine that connecting you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet and running through this beautiful space in your heart is a golden thread of light. Or perhaps yours may look pearlescent. Or another gem tone or color. Trust yourself. Trust what you sense. It may even appear as pure diamond light. I will leave you for a few moments to simply investigate this column of light. Feel its lightness. Feel its energy. Let whatever you notice just be. Ask this column of energy, what are you here to do? You may get an emotional or energetic sense more so than a logical one. Trust your feelings over logic particularly for this practice. And with awareness still on this column of light within you, allow your awareness to gather around the energy of this. What would you like me to know? Column of light, what would you like me to know? On your next inhale, imagine you are breathing in light from this column all the way from the soles of the feet, rising up the column of light until it reaches the crown chakra at the very top of your head. Holding your breath when you reach the top, letting the energy build here. And when you're ready, exhale with a sigh and imagine that energy flowing down into your heart on the exhale. At the bottom of that breath, just return to whatever pace feels best to you. Tuning in to how lit up you are from the inside out. And stay connected to that feeling as long as you wish. And when you're ready to come out of this practice, do so by really taking your time and being sensitive to the energy and how you feel. Making your adjustment back to the world around you as slow and smooth as you wish. Rolling shoulders, wiggling fingers and toes. And only when you're ready, slowly, open your eyes back to the world around you.
