Welcome to this meditation designed to help you embrace the energy of Leo season.
Leo,
Ruled by the sun,
Is a fire sign that embodies warmth,
Courage,
And a deep sense of self-expression.
During this time,
The qualities of Leo,
Such as confidence,
Creativity,
And a sense of purpose,
Come to the forefront.
Leo's strengths include a natural ability to lead,
A generous spirit,
And a flair for inspiring others.
However,
Like all signs,
Leo also has its challenges.
This energy can sometimes manifest as pride,
Stubbornness,
Or a need for validation.
By acknowledging both the light and shadow sides of Leo,
We can fully harness this season's potential for personal growth and transformation.
As we move into the meditation,
I invite you to explore these aspects within yourself,
To honor the unique gifts you bring to the world,
And to cultivate the inner fire that fuels your passions.
Begin by finding a comfortable seated position.
Allow your spine to lengthen,
Your shoulders to relax,
And your hands to rest gently in your lap or on your knees.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely.
As you exhale,
Let go of any tension,
Releasing it with your breath.
Imagine a warm golden light above you,
Glowing like the sun.
As you breathe,
Visualize this light slowly descending,
Enveloping you in its warmth.
Feel it touching the crown of your head,
Gently cascading down your body,
Filling you with a sense of calm and strength.
This golden light represents the essence of Leo,
Radiant,
Powerful,
And full of life.
Allow it to fill your entire being,
From your head to your toes,
And igniting your inner fire.
With each breath,
Feel this light expanding,
Growing brighter,
And connecting you to the energies that Leo embodies.
Now,
Bring your awareness to your heart center.
Imagine the golden light concentrating here,
Creating a warm,
Glowing sphere in your chest.
If it feels particularly strong,
Imagine that sphere igniting into a ball of fire.
This is the seat of your courage,
Your love,
And your ability to express your true self.
This is where your inner power comes from.
Allow the energy of this season to feed that fire,
And allow you to feel a sense of strength and confidence.
Using the following statements,
Stoke your fire by saying to yourself,
I shine brightly,
Sharing my warmth and love with the world,
And I am proud of who I am and celebrate my unique gifts.
Take a moment to reflect on the qualities of Leo that resonate with you.
Is it the courage to stand up for what you believe in?
The creativity that flows through you when you're fully in your element?
Or perhaps the generosity and warmth you share with others?
Whatever it may be,
Allow yourself to fully embrace these strengths by repeating these affirmations and integrating them into yourself.
I embrace my inner fire and radiate confidence in all I do.
I am a leader,
Inspiring others with my courage and strength,
And my creativity flows freely,
And I express myself with authenticity.
As you breathe into your heart space,
Also acknowledge the shadow side of Leo.
Is there a part of you that seeks validation or approval from others?
Do you sometimes find yourself holding on to pride or resisting change?
Without judgment,
Simply observe these tendencies and understand that they are part of the human experience.
With your next breath,
Imagine sending compassion to these parts of yourself.
Know that they are not flaws,
But opportunities for growth and self-awareness.
As you breathe out,
Feel a sense of release,
Letting go of any attachments to these patterns.
Reinforce this in yourself by saying,
I honor both my light and my shadow,
Knowing that they are part of my journey,
And I trust in my ability to overcome challenges and grow through them.
Now,
Visualize yourself standing tall,
Bathed in the golden light of the Leo sun.
Feel your heart open and your spirit uplifted,
Ready to step into your power with confidence and grace.
You are a source of light,
Warmth,
And inspiration to those around you.
Embrace this truth and let it guide you,
Affirming this by saying,
I am connected to the energy of the sun,
Feeling its support and guidance.
As we begin to close this meditation,
Take a few more deep breaths,
Grounding yourself in the present moment.
Feel the connection between your body and the earth beneath you,
Knowing that you are supported and safe.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Bringing the energy of Leo with you as you move through your day.
So may you carry the warmth,
Courage,
And creative spirit of Leo inside of you,
Shining brightly in all that you do.
And until next time,
Never stop growing.
