Hello tribe.
Today we're going to do some solar plexus breathing followed by a meditation to elicit forgiveness.
While doing this solar plexus meditation you might feel dizzy or lightheaded and that's okay.
It's actually a good thing.
It will help you to reset your nervous system and allow you to more fully embody the practice to follow.
How we're going to do this solar plexus meditation is it'll be a lot like our squared breathing technique where we will breathe in for four and then we'll hold for two.
But instead of an exhale what we're gonna do is we're gonna take just a little bit more of a breath and kind of force that down into your stomach.
Not swallowing air like with would make you burp but to actually just take a little more deep breath in and when you do it properly you'll feel your stomach expand a little bit and it may take a but just know that when you get it you'll feel it.
Let us begin.
In,
Hold,
Deeper breath in,
Hold and release.
We'll do just some normal breaths for a while.
Try not to control your breath in any way just observe as it returns back to normal.
Try to learn how to be the conscious observer of your breath but exert no control.
Just allow it to flow and in whatever manner suits your body.
One more round of the solar plexus breathing.
Now I want you to imagine that there is a great brilliantly colored egg hovering above your head.
I like to envision this as the universal consciousness or the Christ consciousness or the Akashic Record or whatever semantics best suits your soul.
I see it as swirling light almost like you can imagine the images that you see of galaxies when looked at through a telescope.
I want you to imagine that as this glorious egg cracks open you feel it slowly start to go down from the top of your head through your body and as it goes over the top of your head down through your eyebrows,
The bottoms of your eyes,
Slowly flowing bringing relaxation and at the same time gathering all those negative unharmonious thoughts and behavior patterns that keep us stuck and trapped.
Slowly it works its way down through your cheeks,
Down your spine,
Through each individual vertebrae of your neck.
As it goes through your mouth you notice your tongue relax to the bottom of your jawline and your jaw slowly slightly hang open.
It goes down your neck and your throat into your shoulders,
Slowly through your biceps and your triceps,
Your elbows and your forearms,
Slowly running down your arms to your wrists,
Through your palms and the top of your hands,
Down your fingers and as it reaches your fingertips you feel it slowly build and drip off the end of your fingertips onto the earth where it's absorbed by the healing powers of this wonderful planet that we live on.
It continues to work its way down through your chest,
Down each vertebrae in your back and as it's making its way down you feel the relaxation going through all of your heart,
Your lungs,
Your intestines,
Gallbladder,
Urinary bladder,
Liver and kidneys,
Down through your hips,
Through your hamstrings and your quadriceps,
Through your,
Down through your calves and into your ankles.
Works its way down the tops and the bottoms of your feet and as it reaches your toes you notice it again builds and then drips on to Mother Earth and as you observe it in your mind's eye you notice that as it seeps into the ground it slowly begins to glow and pulsate with the brilliant white light as Mother Earth takes and recycles all of those negative energies and turns them into their polar opposites and as it pulsates it gets brighter and brighter,
All of the I can'ts become I can's,
All of the I'm nots become I am's,
Every single negativity becoming its polar opposite and just as you feel it can't get any brighter it erupts through the earth like a bolt of lightning going back up through your body and filling all those voids left behind by the negativities with a positive reinforcement.
It shoots through your toes and your ankles,
Up your calves and your shins,
Through your knees,
Through your hamstrings and your buttocks and your groin and up through your stomach,
Through all of your internal organs and viscera,
Through your heart and your lungs,
Up your chest and into your fingers,
Through your palms and your forearms and your elbows and your biceps and triceps and shoulders,
Up through your neck,
Through each individual vertebrae from the bottom of your spine to the top of your head,
Through your chin and your eyes and as it reaches the top of your skull it coalesces into a great brilliant light,
Builds and catapults itself off into space and time teleporting you to the place where you feel safest.
For me that place I call Eden which is a great beautiful valley with trees and a giant lake and as I look around I see all manner of flora and fauna,
Insects,
Creatures of all types and shapes and sizes living in harmony in this great valley and as I sit on the beach of the great lake I begin to meditate inside my meditation and in this meditation I take and envision a baby,
A newborn baby envision any baby that's close to you,
It can be one of your children or grandchildren,
A niece,
A nephew,
A baby from a friend,
Any baby that incites the love and joy and compassion and empathy deep in your soul as you imagine this baby think about the love that you feel how this innocent creature has not harmed anyone even in its cries and its pain you understand that it's only because it's uncomfortable it's only because it doesn't have the words yet to speak what it needs I want you to take that feeling and let it build feel it in your heart center and as it expands through your fingers and your whole body reverberates with this love I want you to take the image of someone that you are trying to forgive and transfer that feeling onto that person keeping in mind that age might be chronological but spiritual and emotional growth are not and oftentimes we go through life unable to say the things we need to say or ask for the things that we need in order to find that relief and comfort go back to that baby imagine that smile and that giggle when they're happy the way it makes you feel in your stomach and your chest how that love emanates from your soul for as humans our true state of being is a state of love and compassion allow that feeling to build again and now again pull up the image of the person you're trying to forgive and overlay that feeling imagine all of the hardships that they've experienced all of the lessons that they learned the wrong way try to think of the lessons that you've learned that were false or inaccurate that have led you to be stuck in beliefs and patterns that did not suit you and that every decision you make every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle today I relinquish all grievances,
Resentments,
And regrets and instead choose the miracle every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle today I relinquish all grievances,
Resentments,
And regrets and instead choose the miracle every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle today I relinquish all grievances,
Resentments,
And regrets and instead choose the miracle today I relinquish all grievances,
Resentments,
And regrets and instead choose the miracle go back to the image of the baby once again allow that love to fill you to build upon you imagine what would it take for that baby to make you have these same resentments as this person that you're trying to forgive there's nothing a baby that could do that could make you feel that way about them sure they can be annoying when they're sad or crying but as you go through the checklist and you feed them and you burp them and you change them and you love them somewhere through that list the annoyance will fade and the baby will again find happiness and peace the same can be said for this person you're trying to forgive there always has to be somebody to take the first step towards forgiveness that does not mean you have to invite them back into your life or that you have to forget the things that have happened in the past but it does mean that you have to let go of the wound let go of the pain that no time in history has drinking poison yourself ever made the person you were angry at feel the sting forgiveness is for you and you alone let's go back to the image of the baby one last time okay feel that love feel it pulsate and increase and as that pulsates and increases continue to allow it to develop your body and carry that feeling with you the rest of your day i love you all tribe may you have a blessed day carry on in love and joy
