We often forget that our lives are lived in moments, in the now. We allow yesterday to own us—find its ways into our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We bring forth broken pieces while we refuse to hold on to the good. When we are in the good, we easily concentrate on where we want to be—the goals, intentions, and the pieces that drive us forward while failing to remember that we need today to prosper.

The reality is each day is a teacher. Each moment has something for you inside of it. When we are unaware, focused on everything but the moment, we are likely to miss the magic in which is the key for our abundance, ability to thrive, the very opening of our purpose, courage, and highest, truest, most authentic, greatest self.

To fully claim your life, you must be IN your life. And your life is now.

With breath, focus, and permission, tension melts away and your energy is cleared. Join me on this journey…

Find a comfortable position and take a full deep breath. Take the time you need to become comfortable. Allow your mind and body to relax.

Welcome to empowering your inner light meditation. A guided meditation to meet yourself and witness your internal power.

Find a comfortable position and take a full deep breath. Take the time you need to become comfortable. Allow your mind and body to relax. 

The present moment holds the keys that unlock your freedom from anxiety, from suffering, from anything that works against you. You can only feel free, peaceful, content, safe and happy in this now moment. This is all that exist. The things you dream of, and the things you fear are nothing but a thought and a feeling combined in your imagination. There is no future in which we experience today. When we do experience the dream we want, it will not be in the future. It's in the now. You have a choice of how you show up in the now, how you live, how you create happiness and joy.

Find a comfortable position and take a full deep breath. Take the time you need to become comfortable. Allow your mind and body to relax.

In life, we often face uncertainty, the unknown. The best place to go is not into a spiral of thought or shame, but a state of connection within the mind and body. To do so, you must find a state of relaxation and welcoming.

Allow this mind and body meditation to guide you into the deepest inner connection. The unknown does not have to drive your mind wind; it can be a state of deep peace.

Let this take you there.

You are a masterpiece of light, love, infinite beauty, and peace. This light is your energy, your soulful, most authentic self.

In this understanding, you can claim all that you are and honor your inner light that has helped you rise above darkness, hard times, and negativity. If you are not willing to give your very best, life is not going to offer much in return. Within each hour, day, week, and month, there is a time for everything. There is a time for letting go of self-destruction. There is a time for building and growing. There is a time for motion and rest. There is a time for wellness. There is always time for whatever is to be. That is if you make and take the time, and that begins with honoring your very being.

Let these words ignite the goddess within you. The root of the word goddess means “bright” or “shine.” As women, we tend to underestimate our divine feminine power—at best, we ignore it; at worst, we demonize it. Yet, this light and power within is the energy that creates our life. We have always been meant to harness it, own it, and use it for our greatest good.

Your femininity is your divine superpower. In this moment, we are connecting with and to her, honoring her, and reminding ourselves that the light within us shall never be dimmed again. From now on, I am honoring my truths and affirming my power.

We are taking an active journey together…one of peace and owning your inner light. While most meditations ask you to allow yourself to stop, in this journey, we will be active in our thoughts and own our inner light.

Your mind craves stillness. It desires to feel good and be a peace. You find that peace right inside of you. It’s always been there and waiting for you to call it to the forefront. To find it, place your hand over your heart. Allow your breath to match the perfect beat inside your chest. Your heart is the center of peace—it’s your guide. When you go within and connect your heart and mind in one aligned source of energy, love, and light, you quiet the rumblings of your life.

Change is the flow of life. It is the essence of life itself. We live and grow in seasons—the season of light and joy where grace and gratitude are born, the season of darkness and sorrow, where lessons are taught, and growth wraps its mighty presence around us in preparation for the moment we can and must spread our wings.

With every season, there is change. There is purpose. There is a rhythm we all have come to know and experience.

Today, I am offering myself kindness and respect. I am actively and attentively honoring my body as I move beyond body standards and embrace my physical form, as it has been, as it is now, and as it will be. From today forward, I pledge to speak words of affirmation to myself each time I look in the mirror. I promise to respect my reflection by feeding it healthy thoughts and emotions, as I know this is as important as the food, I fuel myself with, too. I have the power to love myself without the conditions those around me have asked me to own and without the standards of anything I’ve been taught or told, and today I’m actively making this choice. I acknowledge that loving myself and the vehicle I have while on this earth is sometimes messy, and yet, from now on, I give the best of myself to honor the girl I am, from the outside in and vice versa. And if I mess up, take a sidestep, think or act out of alignment with this new frame of thought, I know I can start over right in the here and now.

You have never been meant to live a life of stress, anxiety, fear, doubt, and unease. Instead, you have always been meant to live from a grounded and centered place, a place of peace.

Remember that anxiety is characterized by feelings of worry, fear, doubt, and dis-ease.

These feelings can range from subtle to overwhelming and influence your life in ways that disrupt and do not serve you. As anxiety pulses through your nervous system, feelings of panic and helplessness, anger, agitation, irritability, and overwhelm can follow. Your heart can pound, making everything feel so much bigger than it is.

Loving-kindness or Metta meditation is the ultimate form of generous, selfless love toward the self. This is a traditional meditation combined with new affirmations and self-kindness.

As it is said, hatred cannot coexist with love and kindness. It dissipates when supplanted with thoughts of love and compassion.

The longest relationship you will have during your time on this earth is the one you have with yourself. If the relationship does not reflect love, compassion, and kindness, you cannot reflect the same emotions and movements to those around you. What is happening within us is reflected out into the world through our actions and the way we show up. When out of balance, we find mirror relationships, experiences, and feelings, thus the importance of genuine loving-kindness.

We often forget that our lives are lived in moments, in the now. We allow yesterday to own us—find its ways into our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We bring forth broken pieces while we refuse to hold on to the good. When we are in the good, we easily concentrate on where we want to be—the goals, intentions, and the pieces that drive us forward while failing to remember that we need today to prosper.

To fully claim your life, you must be IN your life. And your life is now.  

There are times in our lives when we find ourselves struggling, even fighting with our thoughts and emotions. In times of change or stagnation, we can feel as if nothing is happening for us, and everything is happening to us. These feelings can cause turmoil, which upsets our emotional and mental balance. When we become aware that a struggle is within us, we become disrupted and uncomfortable. Our instincts push against the unfamiliar, the unknown, as we roll around with the discomfort, adding a mentality of lack, stress, and anxiety.

You are a masterpiece of light, love, infinite beauty, and peace. This light is your energy, your soulful, most authentic self.

In this understanding, you can claim all that you are and honor your inner light that has helped you rise above darkness, hard times, and negativity. If you are not willing to give your very best, life is not going to offer much in return. Within each hour, day, week, and month, there is a time for everything.

There is always time for whatever is to be. That is if you make and take the time, and that begins with honoring your very being.

Your mind is a wonderous place—a place of insight. It’s a place that has the power to serve you if you take the time to observe and notice the mental activity you give your attention to. When the mind gets lost in thought, you have the power to regain your focus, to shed light on the darkness, to offer yourself trust, and let go of negativity, anxiety, and leave overthinking where it belongs—outside of you. Checking in, going within the thought process gives you the power to be non-reactive to the thoughts that do not serve your life.

Let these words ignite the goddess within you. The root of the word goddess means “bright” or “shine.” As women, we tend to underestimate our divine feminine power—at best, we ignore it; at worst, we demonize it.

Is it possible to deactivate stress and anxiety by tapping the stressors away? Can we free ourselves of complex emotions through pressure points in the body?

The answer is YES! As we continue discovering different modalities that aid in our healing and reduce stress and negative emotions, we turn our attention to Emotional Freedom Tapping and the Heart-Brain Coherence techniques.
