Shining Your Light

I invite you to close your eyes.

Feel the tingling sensation of your skin.

Where do you feel it most prominently?

In your hands.

In your cheeks.

Bring your awareness to the skin of your face and notice how it feels.

Imagine that it's a warm,

Sunny day and you can feel the sun on your cheeks.

The warmth heating up the molecules in your face.

The sun is 93 million miles away and radiates its energy freely in all directions.

We receive only a sliver of this energy and yet the sun is our life force,

Allowing for everything on earth to be alive.

How does it create so much heat and light?

The sun is our star.

It has been alive for 5 billion years and every moment of its existence it is turning hydrogen into helium in its core.

This transformational process releases light and energy.

The sun is transforming its very essence into light.

Imagine for a moment that you are the sun.

Feel the vibration of your molecules as energy pulses through your body.

As you grow and transform as a human,

You shed light into the world.

Take a moment to remember one transformative experience you've had.

Maybe it's a challenge you've overcome,

Falling in love or a spiritual awakening.

By allowing these events to transform you,

You radiate light on those around you,

Breathing life force into those who need it most.

It's tempting to hide our light and play small,

But by playing small you are helping no one.

By being your fullest,

Most radiant self,

You are bringing light into the world that gives others permission to shine theirs.

Imagine your most radiant self.

What does it feel like to be that version of you?

Feel the light radiate out of your being as you allow yourself to fully shine.

Sit with this sensation for as long as you like and when you're ready,

You can open your eyes,

Shining this light into the rest of your day.
