This meditation is an exercise in creating feelings of safety within yourself and to help you remember the power you have to protect yourself.
Take a deep breath,
Allowing yourself to settle into a comfortable position.
Let your eyes gently close.
Allow any tension in your body to soften and release with each breath.
Now as you take a slow,
Deep inhale,
Feel the air filling your lungs,
And as you exhale visualize any heaviness or worry leaving your body through your breath.
Continue breathing deeply and fully,
Letting each breath relax you even more.
As you breathe,
Bring your awareness into your heart.
Imagine a warm golden light beginning to glow here.
This gentle,
Reassuring light represents your inner strength,
Your power,
And the protective energy within you.
With each inhale,
See this light growing brighter and warmer,
And with each exhale,
Feel it expanding further,
Filling your body and radiating out around you.
This light feels strong yet peaceful,
As if it's always been a part of you,
Guiding and protecting you.
Allow yourself to feel safe within this light,
Letting it envelop you like a soft blanket,
Comforting and warm.
In this space,
You can say or think something along the lines of,
I trust in the divine intelligence within me to keep me safe and protected.
Now as you breathe,
Imagine this light forming a protective shield around you.
With each breath,
This shield grows stronger,
Extending beyond your body,
Wrapping you in a sphere of energy.
This shield is soft but impenetrable,
Flexible yet unbreakable.
It moves with you and responds to your needs,
Protecting you from anything that doesn't serve your highest good.
As you continue to breathe,
Take a moment to connect with this protective shield.
Know that it's there to keep you safe,
To allow in only what is positive and helpful,
And to deflect anything harmful or draining.
In this safe space,
Let your mind affirm to itself,
I am safe.
I am protected.
I am grounded in my own strength.
Keep repeating these words,
Either aloud or in your mind.
I am safe.
I am protected.
I am grounded in my own strength.
I am safe.
I am protected.
I am grounded in my own strength.
With each repetition,
Feel your shield growing even stronger,
Pulsing with warmth and energy.
It's as though your very being is radiating this light,
This power,
Extending beyond the limits of your body and creating a space of pure,
Unwavering protection around you.
Allow yourself to rest here for a few moments,
Just breathing,
Feeling this powerful shield and your connection to it.
Know that this shield is always here for you,
Even after you finish this meditation.
You can return to it anytime you wish,
Simply by bringing your attention back to this light within.
Now when you feel ready,
Begin to deepen your breath,
Bringing gentle movement back to your fingers and toes.
Feel yourself fully returning to the present moment,
Feeling safe,
Grounded,
And at peace.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying this sense of protection with you into the rest of your day.
