Welcome to this guided meditation and visualization for recharging and firing you up for whatever you need.
In this meditation,
I invite you to find a safe,
Quiet,
Calm place to lie or sit down,
Making sure that you are warm and comfortable.
So either your arms next to you if you are lying down or resting on your thighs if you are sitting.
Make sure your back is straight.
We are going to begin by bringing our attention to our breath,
Slowing down our breath and taking some big deep breaths through our nose,
Holding the air in our lungs just for a couple of counts and releasing it slowly out.
So taking a big deep breath in,
Feeling our lungs expand,
Pausing with the air and then exhaling it all out nice and slowly.
And we are going to do three more of these big powerful inhales that we really feel our chest and our lungs expanding out,
Holding the air in our lungs just for a few moments and then slowly exhaling them out.
As we release the final deep breath,
I invite you to build the vision that you are within a house,
Standing in the middle of the ground floor.
You can see the doors around you,
The windows in front of you.
What is the colour of the floor beneath you?
Building up all of the image of the house around you.
And as you look through the window in front of you,
You can hear and see a storm building outside and this storm is shaking the house that you are within.
You can feel it pulling in all directions and you can feel the house moving and shaking.
The floor beneath your feet feels untouched,
Unmoving and steady.
And as the storm gets stronger,
The roof begins to be pulled away from the house as if it is howling and the wind begins to fly through the house and you can hear it and you can see the house shaking and breaking but you are untouched,
Unmoved and unafraid.
And then the next layer of the house gets pulled off.
The walls around you are being pulled away until you are facing the storm head on with nothing around you but the stable floor beneath your feet.
And as you look around you,
You can see the house in bits floating around in the storm.
And as you look,
You can begin to see that surrounding you,
Just out of reach,
Is a thin veil.
This veil is shimmering lightly.
Any time a piece of debris comes near the veil,
It smashes against it but it leaves you safe,
Warm and clean in your bubble.
This veil,
Although seemingly so thin,
Is blocking out the entire storm.
You are now in the centre of the storm with the sky darkening and the wind blowing and churning everything around you.
And yet,
You are surrounded by the light of the veil and the strength of it.
And so you begin to walk through the rest of the storm.
Each time you place your foot on the ground,
It feels stable,
Steady and unmoving.
Your veil walks along with you and you see that every step you take,
The veil is moving with you.
You walk through the darkness,
Through the rain and the wind,
Till you find that you walk out of the storm altogether.
Your clothes dry,
Your skin warm,
Your breath steady and calm.
You never needed permission to walk out of the storm.
But now you know that you in fact were that storm.
You were the wind and the rain.
You changed your environment till it was unrecognisable.
You chose to embrace the fact that you didn't need anyone to protect you or to keep you safe.
That you were at every moment,
Unharmable.
That you were stronger than any storm or any change that could come your way.
That you could walk through the discomfort of seeing the change,
Embracing that which is out of your control and then you just kept walking through.
Now in front of you,
You see the sun rising and its golden light begins to warm your skin and the veil reflects that light out even more.
When you realise that you were the light that you saw within the darkness,
You were that which you were looking for,
You need nothing else because everything you have ever needed lies within you.
Your strength,
Your courage,
Your will and your veil.
The force of all this externalised to keep you safe.
To keep you moving towards your dreams.
It is always there,
Even in your darkest moments,
Even when you can't see it or you have forgotten it's there.
You are protected,
Loved and seen.
You are the warrior you have been seeking.
You are the hero and the villain you will keep on going.
Take a final big powerful inhale and as you exhale allow all of your body to relax,
Resting in the recognition of the power that you hold.
I invite you to roll your shoulders,
Becoming aware of all the sounds you can hear as you enter back into the room that you are in.
Feeling what is against your skin,
The weight of your body against where you are sitting or lying.
Feel free to wiggle your fingers and your toes.
This is the end of the meditation.
When you are ready you can open your eyes and return into the room.
Have a lovely day and don't forget you are powerful.
