Welcome to the third eye chakra affirmation meditation, a guided meditation to gently and powerfully connect with your higher self. Your brow chakra governs visions and dreams. It’s the center of wisdom and self-reflection. The brow chakra resonates with the language of light and higher consciousness. It is the seat of our intuition and inner wisdom, and when open and balanced, it allows us access to ‘the bigger picture’ of our lives.

Welcome to the throat chakra affirmation meditation, a guided meditation to clear and reclaim your fifth chakra. Your throat chakra is responsible for communication. When it’s balanced, you speak the truth, your truth, and understand your life purpose in a fuller and guided way. You communicate with others intelligently and efficiently. You are far more creative and expressive.

Clear your mind.

Welcome to your heart chakra balancing meditation, a guided meditation to clear and reclaim your fourth chakra. The center of love, compassion, forgiveness, and self-acceptance, as it governs our feelings in relationships and our humanness.

This is a continuation of our balancing charka series.

Settle in now, finding a comfortable position as you relax your shoulders down your spine, release your jaw, and let go of any tension, whether in your mind or body. As you fully settle, deepen your breath, inhaling through your nose, allowing your breath to find the bottom of your lungs, and slowly release it through your nose with a slow and steady exhale. Continue to breathe with both ease and effort.

You are taking a journey now inside your mind to meet yourself and rebalance the fourth chakra, the source of love.

Take another full deep breath and slowly let it go. If your eyes are not already closed, please close them softly now.

Clear your mind.

Find a comfortable position and take a full deep breath. Once you’re settled, close your eyes or soften your gaze and tune into your breath. Notice it without trying to change it. Feel the air move through your nose, finding its way to the base of your lungs and slowly allowing it to slip away with a soft exhale.

Place both hands over your heart and feel the heart space expand. Then, ask yourself: Am I willing to give myself love today as I am?

If you are, offer yourself permission to do just that and release any negative thoughts that may be lingering in your mind.

With your next inhale, fully settle into the words, “I am worthy.” As you let the air go, allow those words to transform into “I am enough.”

Welcome to Solar plexus chakra balancing meditation, a guided meditation to meet yourself and witness your wholeness through clearing and reclaiming your third chakra. The center of consciousness of being, personal power, self-definition, accomplishment and responsibility, will, and vital energy.

This is a continuation of our balancing charka series.

Welcome to Sacral balancing meditation, a guided meditation to meet yourself and witness your wholeness through clearing and reclaiming your second chakra. The center of developing relationships, self-gratification, creativity, emotions, sexuality, and nurture.

You are taking a journey now inside your mind to meet yourself. A journey that allows you to rebalance the second chakra.  

The health of your root charka powerfully impacts all of the other chakras. In order to grow spiritually, we must start at the root. In this meditation, we get into the flow of the root charka, clearing it, and reclaiming its openness. This is a journey back home to the soul.

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.

Each of us comes to a space and time in our lives where endings occur, things change, doors close, and new pathways open. While change, starting over, and finding new ground can be comfortable, it can also be the most revolutionary experience of your lifetime.

It’s in this time, this moment, that together we claim and honor where you are and where you are headed. It’s at this moment that we welcome a chance to start over.

As we do, being to slow down your mind. Take a deep breath, allowing the air to float down your throat and meet the bottom of your lungs. Bring your body to stillness, dropping your shoulders away from your ears and soften your expression. Listen to the noises around you while you clear your mind.

With your next inhale, prepare your heart and mind for a journey of welcoming new opportunities that are mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically gratifying.

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.

Your daily habits and routines are far more critical and impactful than you may think. One of the complaints or misalignments I hear is that many women feel their lives are not what they wanted them to be. They feel stuck, uninspired, off-balance, and certainly not peaceful. Yet, when I ask for them to walk me through their day-to-day life, we can often root out that they are simply not engaging in their lives in a way that is fulfilling or nurturing their rounded well-being. They have shifted into autopilot and lack a framework that helps them engage in the balance, inspiration, and peace they so deeply deserve and desire.

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.  

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.
