During this meditation,
We will connect with the sustainer of life,
Surya,
The sun.
We will invoke the sun's healing energy from within,
Bringing warmth and clarity to the cold or neglected parts of ourselves.
You can also practice this meditation while sitting in the sun,
Amplifying Surya's healing rays.
As we begin,
Allow yourself to find a comfortable position.
Whether you're seated or lying down,
Allow your spine to lengthen.
Soften through the shoulders,
Close your eyes and go inside.
Feel the breath traveling in the nose,
Down the throat,
Into the heart and into the belly.
Exhale at the belly,
The heart,
The throat and the nose.
Feel the breath moving in with awareness.
Feel the breath moving out,
Softening the body.
Continue settling into your own breath,
Noticing its subtle rhythm.
Now,
Using your mind's inner eye,
Imagine the beautiful sun high up in the sky.
See the sun's radiant light shining down on all of earth,
Bathing earth in its warm and powerful light.
Visualize and even feel Surya's luminous rays entering your body.
Feel them warming your heart.
Feel the light and warmth expanding through your chest,
Moving into your arms and head.
Continue to experience Surya expanding throughout your body,
Into your hips,
Your legs,
Your feet.
With every inhale,
Feel the sun illuminating within you,
Filling every cell with its radiance.
With every exhale,
Feel the body lighter,
As though it's lifting up into Surya.
If the sun never fades from your awareness,
Reimagine it with your mind's inner eye.
See how the sun illuminates everything it surrounds,
Dispelling darkness and coolness.
In the same way,
Envision the rays of the sun within you,
Dispelling the darkness of doubt and fear.
Continue envisioning the sun's warmth clearing mental fog,
Bringing clarity,
Wisdom and insight.
The light of the sun is symbolic of the light of consciousness,
The light of truth.
This light is the source of all clarity,
Inspiration and awareness.
As you bathe in this light,
Envision your mind clear,
Your heart open,
Your spirit radiant.
With every breath,
Allow the sun to shine even brighter.
With every exhale,
Feel blockages,
Negative thoughts,
Limiting beliefs melting away.
Breathing in,
Feel yourself becoming lighter.
Breathing out,
Feel yourself more open and receptive to the magic and truth of the universe.
The sun's warmth and light are always available within you.
Allow yourself to merge with its energy,
Becoming one with the source that sustains life.
Allow this radiant energy to continue expanding through you and from you,
Spreading warmth and light to all you encounter.
