Hey, there it's Whitney. You're listening to Exploring Peace Meditations. Today I'm bringing you a practice that I myself have been using in the mornings, before my feet even hit the ground. So consider using this one at the start of your day and I would encourage you to revisit it. Revisit it daily for a week or longer and notice how it shifts your days, your inner awareness, your energy and your presence with God, if you're not already. Find a reclined posture, soften and close your eyes. Creator, god, we welcome you. We welcome you into this space, into our bodies, as close as our breath. Let us meet you and find you today as we center ground and energize ourselves with you and through you.
Speaker 1:
Colossians 1.29 in the message says the mystery, in a nutshell, is just this Christ is in you. Therefore, you can look forward to sharing in God's glory. It's that simple. While it may not feel simple, and energy is not simple, may we rest in the energy that flows through our body and draw us close to Christ through it. Now Allow your awareness to travel to the base of your spine. You may wish to hover your hands or gently lay your hands over your pelvic floor area. Visualize a bright red light connecting you to the earth, god's earth and your foundation, your creator. As you breathe in, imagine this bright, red glowing energy. It's brighter that you feel connected and grounded in this moment. Feel the strength and stability that comes from your connection with God In the quiet say to yourself I am grounded in God.
Speaker 1:
If it helps visualize that red glowing energy at the base of your spine, allow your awareness to travel from your root chakra at the base of your spine up to your sacral chakra, just below your navel or belly button. Picture a warm orange glow, filling with creativity and joy. You may wish to hover your hands at the base of your belly, below your navel, rest them on your body or just take your inner awareness to this part of yourself. Feel the warmth radiating to every cell of your body as you breathe. Say to yourself I am filled with God's joy. Allow your awareness to travel just above your navel to your solar plexus.
Speaker 1:
Imagine and see a bright yellow light filling you with confidence and strength With each breath. Feel this light growing brighter, empowering you from within, whether you place your hands over this part of your body or simply visualize it. Stay here and see the color yellow. Say to yourself as you breathe I am strong. Your awareness travels to your heart and maybe your hands do too. From the center of your chest, you envision a bright green light, gently expanding and filling you with love and compassion from God. As you breathe in, allow this green light to fill your entire chest. Notice how it feels to be open to God's loving care within you. Say to yourself as you breathe I am loved by God.
Speaker 2:
Thank you.
Speaker 1:
Your awareness next moves to your throat chakra. I like to gently place my hands over the nape of my neck. Whether you hover there or gently offer touch, just focus on your throat area and visualize a beautiful, calming blue light. With each breath, imagine this light blue, opening up your truth, your voice, your words. Feel a sense of clarity and truthfulness. Come upon you as you pause here. See the color blue or say to yourself I am living my truth, your awareness and maybe your hands move to that space between your eyebrows, your third eye. Imagine and see a deep, indigo blue light. It's between that blue and purple, enhancing your intuition and inner wisdom. Feel deeply, allowing God's wisdom to light and illuminate your mind. Now, as you breathe, say to yourself I am filled with God's wisdom. I am filled with God's wisdom.
Speaker 1:
Finally, your awareness travels to the crown of your head. See a beautiful purple, royal violet color upon you. I always think of Jesus when I see this color purple in my mind's eye. Whatever you see, invite yourself to feel connected to your Creator, to your divine One. As you breathe, invite that violet, purple light to get brighter, to be more open and welcome a sense of spiritual awareness and oneness with God, say to yourself in the quiet I am connected to my Creator. I am connected to my Creator. Bask in the light as it shines upon you and breathe. Take a moment now to let your hands rest wherever they wish, on your body or by your side. Welcome a full breath that travels all the way through you.
Speaker 1:
Pause and thank God for the miraculous workings of your being, for the energy that fills you and flows through you. Creator God, we give thanks together for our miraculous bodies for this new day. May your energy flow through us. Thank you for the miraculousness of the ways our bodies connect us to you. In your most holy name, we pray Amen.
