This guided inner journey will take about 10 minutes.
Make yourself comfortable,
Seated,
Or lying down.
This is an opportunity to let your imagination go wild.
Keep your mind open to whatever shows up.
Whatever you experience is fine.
You will be asked some questions during this visualization.
Just answer them in your head and you'll have some time afterwards to capture notes.
Now let's begin.
Take a deep breath and let your energy settle a little bit.
Let your eyes drift closed and put your attention on your breath as it enters and leaves your body.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Notice how every time you breathe out you become slightly more relaxed.
Notice if you're holding any tension anywhere in your body.
Perhaps in your shoulders or in your jaw or in your hands or in your abdomen.
Just notice it and let that tension melt away on an exhale.
That's right.
Now tune into your heart.
Feel your heartbeat.
Notice the rhythm of the muscle that pumps life-giving blood to every part of your body.
Place your hand lightly on your heart.
Tune into the love and compassion that lived there.
Perhaps you remember a moment where you felt strong love and compassion.
Get in touch with it now and let the energy flow from your heart throughout your whole body.
Feel the warmth of this energy.
This is self-acceptance.
From this place ask yourself,
What are my unique strengths and abilities?
Which ones do I want to celebrate?
Spread your love and compassion around the strengths and abilities that are part of you.
Let yourself feel the celebration.
Now notice the things you judge about yourself.
Spread love,
Tenderness and compassion to these things as well.
Taking your shining wholeness and your broken bits,
All of them,
With your loving self-acceptance.
Know that all of this is a part of you and belongs to you.
Know that all of you is needed for the fullest expression of your own humanity.
This is the resonance of self-acceptance,
Spreading love and compassion over all parts of you.
The parts you easily accept and the parts that you don't.
Notice your breath now and bring your awareness to your gut.
This is the place of instinct,
Of knowing,
Of personal power.
Think back to a time when you were in your power and took a stand or made an important decision.
Feel into it in your mind's eye or in reality.
Plant your feet firmly on the floor and rest your hands on your hips,
Inviting all the energy of your gut,
Summoning your strength and personal power.
This is where your inner dragon lives.
Feel the strength and resourcefulness of your inner dragon.
Tune in and ask,
What matters most to me now?
What is important enough for me to take a stand for?
Listen for the answers.
Shift your posture now,
Straightening your spine,
Feeling your shoulders relaxed and strong,
Chest open.
This is you,
The creator of your life story.
You with the instinct,
Knowledge and strength to make a difference.
Ask yourself,
What is my contribution to the world?
What can I be counted on to make real in my world?
Listen for the answers.
This is the resonance of your inner dragon.
Now bring your attention back to your heart,
Accepting all of it.
Feel your heart expand as you take in and accept the challenges and the joys of your life's journey and connect to your gut now,
Inviting strength,
Resolve and your own personal power.
Feel these two energies as they flow through your body.
This is your inner dragon fully activated.
From this place,
Ask yourself,
What is the impact I would have on others in my world?
Listen or feel into the answer.
And now,
Ask yourself one final question.
What is the name,
A word or a structure that will give me immediate and easy access to my inner dragon?
Know that your inner dragon is a powerful,
Easily accessible resource that lives within you.
Take a moment to express gratitude for the love and the power of your inner dragon.
Now,
Inhale deeply,
Breathing in this experience,
Knowing you will remember what you need to remember about this inner journey.
Let that breath go and with another conscious breath,
Gently stretch,
Move your body a little and when you're ready,
Let your eyes drift open.
