Welcome to this guided meditation.
My name is Catherine Giri from Africa Yoga Project,
Where we use the transformational power of yoga to train global wellbeing leaders in and from Africa.
This meditation is led by one of Africa Yoga Project graduates,
Celote.
Find your seat,
Relax and enjoy.
Choose a seated position that feels comfortable for you.
Lift your bones and relax your muscles in a way that is empowering to you.
Close your eyes and let your arms hang loosely as you let your hands rest on your love.
Bring your attention to your physical space you are sitting in.
Sense the earth or the floor beneath you,
The sky or ceiling above you and the natural environment or four walls around you.
Notice your body occupying physical space in relation to all those elements.
Move your attention to your inner space.
Get a sense of your spine and bones as the support structure for your body and of your skin as the container for its contents.
Now funnel your awareness into your hands.
Notice how where your focus goes,
Your energy flows.
Continue to scan your arms and then move up to your shoulders,
Neck and head.
Imagine that your attention is a warm,
Thick glowing golden liquid and let it pour down from the top of your head into your torso,
Arms,
Pelvis,
Buttocks,
Thighs,
Calves,
Ankles and feet.
Just be with the sensations inside your body and check in with what is happening inside your space.
Next,
Imagine your body as a clear glass container that's filled in every nook and cranny with warm golden liquid sunshine.
Now visualize that each of your ten toes and fingers has a release valve at its tip.
Open these valves and let the warm liquid to drain slowly out of you,
Cleansing your space.
Let every last drop of the warm liquid release out of you.
And now allow yourself to be in this clear space.
Just be and let be.

Take a deep breath in,
Lift your hands over your head.
As you exhale,
Bring your hands to your heart center or prayer position and take three vowels.
