Rise of the Phoenix,
Rebirth Sit in any comfortable meditative posture.
Maintain a nice,
Straight back.
Put your hands on your knees or palms facing up if you wish to lay down for this practice.
Notice your breath.
Allow each breath to bring you more presence.
Breathe in relaxation.
Breathe out stress.
Give yourself permission to relax.
Breathing in through the nose.
Breathing out through the mouth.
Focus is on the process of breathing.
Be aware of the breath coming in through the nostrils.
Can you feel the air entering your nasal cavity and traveling down your airways?
Be aware of your lungs expanding and relax with each exhalation.
Attention can be put on the air traveling back upwards from your belly all the way up through your throat and back.
And back out your nostrils.
Be with each breath from beginning to end.
Now let go of your breath.
Allow your natural breath to take place.
Simply observe your breath.
Be mindful of each breath.
Now channel your attention behind your forehead.
Focus your attention in between your eyebrows in your mind's eye.
Be aware of this location.
Visualize an electrical energy coming in and out from this region with each breath.
Completely let go of your outside world.
Completely let go of your mind.
Completely let go of your senses.
Now we are going to go on a journey.
The Phoenix is a mythological energy bird that is eternally burning.
The Phoenix represents death and rebirth,
The end of old cycles and the beginning of new cycles.
Visualize a great big blue flame.
This flame is very powerful and liberates all that is channeled its way.
In order to be reborn in this present moment,
You must liberate your past.
All the emotions of the past must be set free.
Surrender to the power of the Phoenix within and completely let go of your past.
In this session,
We will at least begin the process of forgiving from any emotional stresses you may have been burdened with in the past.
And forgive anyone that has ever caused you pain.
All the emotions of pain and resent you may be holding onto can be channeled into the flame of the Phoenix.
Watch the flame grow in size.
Feel the magnetic pull of the flame's strength as it draws all your emotional pain out of your body.
Sense the cleansing ability of consuming fire to devour your stresses and memories.
And release you of this weight that can confine you.
Feel your unwanted emotions being drawn out of your body.
Feel them being released straight into the flames of the fire.
Incinerated and liberated,
These emotions serve you no more.
Allow all pain to rise up deep from your body.
Channel this pain straight into the flames.
Feel yourself being liberated.
Pulling away emotional constraints that hold you back.
If you sense the pain,
If you sense the disturbance in specific locations of the body,
Maybe an uncomfortable feeling in the back or a sore spot on the neck,
Then continue breathing new air and filling these locations with this new energy.
To heal it and get in touch with it.
If we do not understand our pain,
We do not know what we're dealing with.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in new life.
Breathe out the constraint,
The resistance.
Channel it into the Phoenix,
Into the fire.
The flame is growing now.
Your Phoenix within is growing.
Completely let go of all your memories.
Completely let go of all your personal history.
The past does not exist in this present moment.
Allow yourself to be completely free and present.
Feel all your emotions being devoured and taken from the fire.
The flames are dancing in front of you and they're starting to melt away the pain from your body.
The sensations of struggling in our lives can be channeled into the immense power of these flames.
In this way,
We can create harmony and reinvent what we're capable of.
What spirit your rising Phoenix embodies will decide how it creates for you and surrounds you at all times.
By staying connected with the conscious and deep breathing,
We use this air to fuel the flame in our meditation and liberate ourselves.
The more we practice,
The more the flame grows.
If we use it carefully,
It can set us free.
Slowly,
The Phoenix is starting to rise.
Meet your Phoenix within.
This is where it will always be.
For the whole universe is in you.
Feel the Phoenix starting to rise.
Building strength with each breath.
The flames are warm and passionate.
They move in the ways of love and freedom.
The fire burns and invites you to relax.
The more emotions you liberate,
The more your Phoenix grows within.
Visualize the wings of the Phoenix expanding.
Moving in unison.
Getting stronger.
See these fiery wings begin to take on a life of themselves as you sense the heat of the flames growing closer.
Feel the wind from its wings building with each breath.
Feel every cell in your body becoming regenerated,
Cleansed,
Renewed.
As you get closer to your Phoenix,
Feel yourself becoming reborn.
Start to feel the new you that's on the other side of your Phoenix.
You approach it fearlessly and you are brave enough to step through.
You see your Phoenix take over your whole body.
All the pain and stress and disturbances in your being come in contact with the flames.
They are released.
They are incinerated and liberated.
These emotions serve you no more.
As the wings stretch out and start to flap,
The Phoenix rises and you are reborn.
Feel yourself suspended in the air.
Your breath keeps you stabilized and moving freely.
Your breath is what keeps the flame alive and strong.
As the fiery wings of the Phoenix wrap around you,
Feel this power rejuvenate your whole body.
Recharged and reborn,
You enter a new state of consciousness moving forward.
Caribbean is closer to you now,
