It is time to put down your weariness and struggle. It is time to look within to see what is residing there, already within you. The true you is patiently waiting in there. She sends you signals constantly. Some of you might be really skilled at listening, while others need more reminders. The reminders and messages will still come. They will get more and more obvious as you don’t get the message, until finally you can’t help but hear it.
For the last few months, I have been receiving the message that it is time to align. It is time to put down the little crumbs that hardly keep me alive so that I can receive the abundant feast waiting for me. While it is so scary to release, it is necessary in order to be free to receive with open arms.
I invite you to hear that message and listen to its call to action. Below, I offer a meditation you can use to allow the space for this inspiration to open.
Get comfortable. Set the mood if you need: light a candle, brew some tea, get cozy. Grab a journal and something to write with for after. You are invited to close your eyes (after you’ve read through this, and if that feels comfortable to you). Allow your breath to turn into a steady rhythm. Breathe in through your nose for a count of 5, hold for a count of 3, and breathe out through your mouth for a count of 7. Make the out-breath audible if that resonates. Repeat this breathing technique for 5 cycles.
in 5 – hold 3 -out 7
in 5 – hold 3 -out 7
in 5 – hold 3 -out 7
in 5 – hold 3 -out 7
in 5 – hold 3 -out 7
Then, return your breathing to its natural rhythm. No need to try. Mentally go through a body scan, acknowledging each part of your body. Explore a little and feel how each part of your body feels. Acknowledge the feeling. Thank it for showing up for you today. Thank it for teaching you something. When it feels safe, you can allow that feeling to melt away into the floor. Repeat this process for each body part.
Next, return to your breath. Make sure it is even, and you are breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Relax. Remove your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Allow your shoulders to relax. Allow your spine to straighten. You are safe.
Imagine a cord or a root shooting from your root chakra into the earth. The root can be any color, width and texture. Study this root gently, and let it grow from you, through the earth, and into the core of the earth. Imagine that you are drawing energy from the earth. Imagine the warm, healing energy flowing up from the earth into your root chakra, filling you from toes, up your legs, up your spine, all the way out of the top of your head. This energy is now shooting up hundreds and thousands of feet above you. You are completely connected to the healing energy of the earth, and the all-knowing energy of the divine. You are loved.
Next, envision a bright dazzling light coming from within you. It can start in your heart, your solar plexus, whichever chakra or energy center of your body feels activated at the thought of a bright light. Imagine, with your attention, that it grows brighter and bigger. It continues to expand, until it is shooting out of your fingertips, your toes, and your head. You are completely enveloped in this bright light. This is your essence, your soul, your life force. You are a beautiful addition to this world.
See if you can find where that bright light began. See if you can get a sense of what brings this light out from within the deepest part of you. Ask it what it wants to do in this life. Ask it what it enjoys, what it wants to experience more of. Then pause. Really listen to her answer. This light is you. You are worthy of happiness, fulfillment and joy. You are already enough. You are deserving of all that this part of you wants to experience. Allow yourself to receive her message. Allow yourself to feel warm, safe and loved. Allow yourself to be cared for, and shown what is truly important to you at a deep soul level.
After you have had a chance to have this conversation, come back to the room. Allow yourself some time to come back. When you are ready, move your fingers and toes. Roll your head and neck in a couple of slow circles in both directions. Take a couple of deep, healing breaths. Stretch. Then, when you’re ready, open your eyes.
Grab a journal and a pen, and write down what you experienced. Get as detailed as you can. See if you can block some time this week to do whatever came up in your meditation.
If you complete this meditation, I would love to hear about it! Send me an email at elise@elisekindya.com and let me know what you thought.
I love you! Enjoy your weekend.
