Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, welcome.
I created this meditation as aconscious recalibration and an
aligning with your dharma.
If you're not familiar withdharma, we'll talk a little bit
about it at the beginning andthen we'll dig into some chakra
work just to get you aligned foryour week to have a fabulous

(00:24):
week, okay.
So as this new week begins,let's take a moment to pause, to
settle and to return toourselves.
In yoga philosophy, dharma isyour soul's true path, the

(00:47):
unique way you're meant to showup and serve in the world, and
it's not about achievement, it'sabout alignment.
This meditation is theconscious recalibration of your
energy, your values and yourpurpose as you begin this new
week.

(01:07):
So let's begin by findingstillness.
Close your eyes if that'scomfortable, find a comfortable
place to sit, allow your spineto gently lengthen and let your

(01:27):
hands rest with ease.
We're going to take a slowbreath in and then a longer
breath out.
Find your own pace and just besure that this slow breath in

(01:50):
little hold at the top and thenthe longer breath on the way out
.
Let's do that together two moretimes, inhaling deeply and
exhaling slowly.
One more time, inhaling deeplyand exhaling slowly.

(02:17):
Nice.
Now, as we move through ourenergetic system, the chakras.
We're going to bring awarenessto each area of our body.
And these aren't just energycenters.
They're reflections of yourinner alignment.

(02:38):
They tell us things about wherewe're showing up and how we're
feeling.
So we're going to begin withthe root chakra the associated
color is red, if that helps, andthe root chakra represents
stability and safety.
So I want you to focus on thebase of your spine and ask what

(03:05):
grounds me this week?
Where can I cultivate trust inmyself and in life?
Breathing in red, focusing onthe base of your spine what
grounds you this week and wherecan you cultivate trust in

(03:30):
yourself and in life?
Now we're going to shift ourfocus to our sacral chakra.
Feel it in your lower belly.
The associated color here, ifcolor is your thing, is orange,

(03:55):
and the sacral chakra isassociated with creativity and
flow.
And as you breathe into yourlower belly, your sacral chakra,
ask where can I allow more joy,more creativity and more

(04:23):
fluidity?
How can I let my energy movewith ease instead of force?
Breathing into your sacralchakra the color orange,
creativity and flow.
