This following guided meditation is dedicated to all the beautiful,

Soft,

Wonderful and powerful black women all over the world and for this is to help you in only feeling your power,

Being empowered,

Being grounded especially when navigating the external world whether that's in the corporate spaces,

Personal life,

All of the things.

This is to help you in grounding,

In feeling your power and in feeling safe within yourself and within this world.

Okay let's begin.

I invite you to find a quiet comfortable space where you can sit down or lie down and as you settle into this moment I invite you to lower your gaze and completely close in your eyes whenever you feel ready.

Relaxing your hands at the sides of your lap or you can have one hand on your heart,

One on your stomach or both hands on your stomach and beginning to take a deep steady breath in through your nose and then gently breathing and exhaling out through your mouth and as you settle into your breath allowing your breath to be your guide.

Inhaling deeply through your nose and as you inhale you are drawing in the calm and steady energy and as you exhale through the mouth you're releasing any tension,

Any worry,

Any heaviness and with each breath feel your body softening,

Your mind quietening and your heart opening.

Starting from your toes I invite you to put your attention to your toes feeling a warm wave of relaxation spreading upwards through your legs,

Your hips,

Your stomach,

Your chest,

Your arms,

Your neck and finally making its way to your face.

Noticing just how your body feels heavier and heavier as this wave of relaxation washes over you.

Although you may feel heavier you feel the unlimited and utmost support of the surface beneath you.

Feeling so safe knowing you are safe,

You are held completely,

You are at home,

You are home in yourself and now I invite you to imagine in your mind's eye envision yourself standing at the entrance of a beautiful,

Blossoming,

Breathtaking garden.

This is your sacred space,

Accentuary created just for you by you and this garden as you step into it you feel the soft warm earth beneath your feet.

You notice the vibrant colors of the flowers blossoming and blooming all around you,

The sounds of the birds singing and the scent of the air,

The fresh,

Sweet and alive air that is filled with possibility.

And in the center of this garden stands a magnificent ancient tree.

Its roots runs deep and shakable and strong as it anchors firmly into the earth and you notice how its branches reach high into the sky are so expansive and full of life to the point where you can see them touching the heavens.

Now this tree represents your lineage,

Your connection to the beautiful women who came before you,

The connection to their wisdom,

Their strength,

Their resilience,

Their vulnerability,

Their softness,

Their joy,

Their silliness and their childlike nature flowing through its roots and now it's flowing through its roots into you and you feel safe and you hear a whisper of an invitation to step closer and as you step closer you place your hands on the tree's trunk,

Feeling the wave of its energy,

A grounding protective force that radiates love and pride for you and you decide to take a seat beneath its wide branches and you lean back,

Letting its strength support you,

Feeling so held and so supported.

This tree reminds you that you are safe,

You are deeply rooted,

Endlessly supported and divinely guided and now let's bring your attention to your heart as you are still leaning and feeling held and safe by this tree and this lineage of the beautiful wisdom wise and joyful women that have become before you.

You place your hands gently over your heart and as you're bringing attention to your heart,

Feeling its steady rhythm,

The rhythm of life,

The rhythm of strength,

The rhythm and power that exists within you.

From this place you visualize a golden light beginning to glow in your chest.

This light is whatever color you feel and you see in your mind's eye.

This light is your power,

It's your worth,

It's your purpose.

With every inhale this golden light grows brighter and brighter,

Filling up your entire chest,

Your shoulders,

Your arms and your entire body.

You are a beacon of light and as it beams around you and through you,

It continues to expand surrounding you creating a radiant and protective shield.

This shield is made of love,

Of wisdom and the strength of your ancestors.

It allows in respect,

It allows in support,

It allows in kindness and it blocks out any negativity,

Any harm and invalidation and any less than your power.

And now I invite you to envision yourself in any situations,

Places of people,

This could be personally or in the workplace.

Picturing yourself walking into that situation,

Into that room with that person holding your head held high,

Shoulders back and a soft confident smile.

Noticing the light surrounding you,

Illuminating your presence.

Others are drawn to your energy not just because of your brilliance but because this sense you're unshakeable worth.

You are calm,

You are focused,

You are powerful,

You belong here.

Even if you encounter any challenges,

Whether they're coming from in the form of microaggressions,

Dismissive behaviors,

Not feeling heard,

Seen or loved or any other external pressures.

Imagine your golden shield growing stronger.

In fact any of this they trigger your golden shield to be stronger and strengthen.

Feel how it protects you,

How it allows you to stay grounded in your truth.

Repeat silently and or even out loud after me.

I am worthy simply because I exist.

I carry the strength and wisdom of those who came before me.

I am radiant,

I am resilient,

I am rooted in my purpose.

I rise above challenges,

I am empowered by my light and my ancestors.

I am safe and I am willing to always give myself the permission to feel safe in my body,

In my mind,

In my spirit.

And if there's ever any environment,

People,

Situations that make me feel unsafe,

I am safe enough to step away,

Detach at any time without any guilt,

Any fear,

Knowing that my power,

My worth says so.

And now I invite you to look up at the tree above you,

Imagining its branches reaching towards the sky and holding endless possibilities and opportunities for you.

The women who came before you are watching over you,

Their voices carried in the rustling leaves and they whisper,

You are our widest dream and we are so proud of you.

Feel their love,

Their guidance and taking this moment to really allow and feel their strength being poured into you.

And this feels like warm sunlight through the leaves.

Know that you're not walking this journey alone,

You are here to break barriers,

To break patterns,

To inspire,

To thrive,

To enjoy,

To have fun,

To be soft,

To be vulnerable,

To be innocent,

To have faith.

And despite the challenges,

You are powerful,

You are capable and you were built to overcome them in all of the ways you feel fit.

Allowing your intuition to be your guide,

Allowing your intuition to be your truth and breathing in this truth and again repeating to yourself silently or out loud,

I am powerful beyond measure,

I am enough exactly as I am,

I carry the light of my ancestors and the strength of the goddesses that are within me,

I am a goddess.

Knowing that you can return here at any time that you desire,

Knowing that by strength what the ancestors,

What you,

What your higher self mean is all of you,

It's all versions of you.

Knowing that it's okay for you to express yourself,

It's okay for you to be heard,

It's okay for you to be seen,

It's okay for you to demand more,

It's okay for you to reflect your worth,

It's okay for you to step into places and situations that value your worth,

That value your voice,

That things can come easily to you.

In fact it's only right that they do,

You deserve that.

You don't have to always work twice as hard,

That's a pattern that we can let go off.

It's okay to feel ease,

It's okay to be easy and gentle.

We're entering our ease and gentle era and it's about time.

And know that at any time,

Anywhere,

Whenever you need to return into this space,

Whenever you need the reminder of your power,

Of your worth,

Of your strength,

Of your divinity,

This is always here for you,

It's within you and you can replay this recording whenever you desire.

And as we start to make our way back into the present moment,

Taking a deep breath in to fully embody this energy and this confidence within you,

Knowing that you are the one,

The I am is you,

The goddess,

The good,

The God is you,

Your ancestors are you,

They're within you,

They live within you,

You and them are one.

And feeling your body being supported by not only the surface beneath you but by this beautiful majestic and divine energy,

By the air around you and by the steady rhythm of your heart and of your breath.

And slowly starting to wiggle out your fingers and your toes,

Letting these small movements bring you back into this present moment.

How you entered into this meditation versus how you are now,

The reminder of the power you've always held and you've always been and the light that you are is cemented.

And carrying this sense of empowerment into your day,

Into your week,

Into your year,

Into every single moment and whenever you're ready there's no rush,

Take your time to sip into all of this goodness and whenever you're ready gently opening up your eyes,

Knowing that you are grounded,

You are protected,

You're unstoppable.

And with your eyes open,

With your hand on your heart and one hand over your womb,

Saying this out loud or silently,

I stand tall like the ancient tree,

I am rooted in strength and crowned with light,

I am worthy,

I am powerful,

I am limitless,

I am love,

I am joy,

I am gentle,

I am ease,

Everything always works out for me,

I am divinity,

I deserve everything that my heart desires,

I deserve for all my dreams to come true,

With ease,

With gentle,

With unlined action,

With freedom,

I am free,

I feel safe,

I am safe,

I am needed,

I am wanted,

I am seen,

I am heard and I am loved by myself first and foremost.
