Hi,
This is Kip with the Hollister Institute.
Welcome.
This meditation is going to focus on empowerment.
So make yourself comfortable and when you're ready gently close your eyes.
And take a couple of deep cleansing breaths.
And as you breathe in just allow your stomach to expand.
Moving up as your chest expands.
And allow the air to move through your nose.
And as you exhale just exhale any stress you may be carrying.
Worry or doubt.
And as you start breathing slowly.
I want you to bring your awareness to watching your breath.
And acknowledge the fact that thoughts will come through.
And just detach from the thoughts and watch them as if they are a movie.
So you're watching your mind but you are not your mind.
And then bring your awareness back to watching your breath.
Drive the wave of your breath.
Empowerment.
Empowerment is tuning in to who you are as a human being.
It's actually about tuning in to your essence.
And in this society it's so hard sometimes to even distinguish this.
Because we are so called to be for others.
Or to do what we think we should do.
Or we get conflicted with the thoughts that go through our mind.
Those of self doubt.
Of worry.
Of am I worthy.
And all of this makes us lose our way.
And takes us away from our sense of being.
And that awesome reality of life.
As that we each are born in perfection.
And each are born with a purpose.
And tuning into this purpose just takes the desire to connect with the source that is within each of us.
Empowerment is being true to yourself.
Which is not selfishness.
It is actually giving of yourself to this world in a way that influences those around you in a very positive way.
So I'd like you to imagine yourself standing tall.
Tall as an oak tree.
And this oak tree has been on this earth.
For a long time.
And is deeply grounded and rooted and connected into the earth.
And allow from the core of your spine to connect with the center of the earth.
And allow that energy from the earth to pour up through your feet.
And move up through your legs.
Through your hips.
Your torso.
And moving through your arms and your hands.
And through your neck and out through the crown of your head.
And allow that there's this white ball of energy cascading down from the sky.
Permeating down through the crown of your head.
And mixing and blending with every cell and membrane in your body as it flows down through your feet and back up again.
And allow this energy for a few moments to move to areas in your body where you feel weak.
Or where you hold disempowered feelings.
And allow that energy to just circle and blend around those areas and move through your body.
And allow this energy.
Allow this energy to lead you into a feeling of being a person who is empowered with a voice.
You are a child of the universe.
You have unlimited potential.
You are enough.
You are more than enough.
You are present in the moment now.
And relinquishing the past.
You are powerful beyond measure.
You are loved,
You are loving,
And you are lovable.
You are the creator of your own reality.
You are the essence of abundance flowing through you.
As you live an empowered life.
You make a difference.
Be open to the unlimited possibilities that lie before you.
When you are in this state of being,
You are fully alive and fully expressed.
Be who you want to be.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Life ismund the course of your imagination.
It is the most powerful at times as it can be discussing your journey.
Bringing your awareness back into your bodies.
Just allow yourself to appreciate this time you spent in getting centered and focused.
May this meditation allow you to go into your day with a strong sense of self and empowerment.
Taking a couple of deep cleansing breaths.
Wiggling your fingers and your toes.
Maybe moving your head side to side.
And when you are ready,
You may gently open your eyes.
Namaste.
Peace.
