A Third Chakra Meditation – Strength, Warmth, Energy
I open this meditation with three different photos of a sunlit space.
My message is this:
Go with whichever one works best for you. Go with all of them if you like.
The sun gives strength, warmth, and energy so you can access the power of your solar plexus chakra.
Relax yourself as you breathe slowly, deeply. Breathe in clean oxygen, air, energy, light. Inhale slowly, and deeply to fill your body with cleansing fresh air.
When you exhale, let go of everything negative: toxins, anger, anxiety, pain, fear – anything you don’t need anymore.
PAUSE
As you continue to slowly inhale and exhale deeply, feel your body relaxing. Continue to inhale and exhale until your body is as relaxed as possible.
Experience this feeling as it moves throughout your muscles, bones, your chakras.
As you exhale, release toxins through your feet. Feel the toxins leaving through your toes.
Inhaling, feel your body filled with light. – Feel the sun’s rays beaming down on you. Feel the sun’s warmth and power as it blankets your body. This warmth and power nourishes both your body and soul.
Feel this power give you strength and wisdom so you can move forward in whatever endeavor you choose.
Feel this power focus on your solar plexus. Feel light and peace and positive energy. Experience the strength and wisdom in your solar plexus.
Now, breathe deeply and see you are surrounded with a beautiful, loving and peaceful golden-orange light. This light sends you inspiration.
Inhale deeply.
You may notice a spirit being joining you now. Notice how this being appears to you.
How is this being dressed?
What color clothes does this being appear to be wearing?
What kind of shoes does this being wear?
If you want to ask this being a question, ask it now.
PAUSE
You may not receive an answer in the moment. But, you will receive an answer when the time is right –
Feel the presence of this wisdom. Trust that the answer you receive will be the information you need to empower yourself and your development.
Now, stay relaxed in your golden-orange light as long as you want. Bathe in the light. Absorb this powerful, healing energy.
When you are ready to leave this space, offer a blessing:
Amen.
You can return to this meditation, this spirit guide, and this powerful, positive energy whenever you need, by remembering this experience in the light.
Your golden-orange light is waiting to surround you whenever you want.

HOPE – a Guided Meditation
Hope focuses on renewal, rebirth, and healing.
Find a place to be comfortable where you can rest undisturbed during this time.
As we experience this meditation, feel the “old” drop away and “new” opportunities present themselves.
Leave everything around you behind and bring your attention to yourself.
Relax as you go on this journey.
Get comfortable.
Breathe in from your abdomen – slowly, slowly, to the count of three.
One – Two – Three
Now – hold your breath to the count of four
One – Two – Three – Four
Now – exhale to the count of five.
One – Two – Three – Four – Five
Repeat this breathing pattern three more times.
In – one, two, three
Hold – one, two, three, four
Out – one, two, three, four, five
In – one, two, three
Hold – one, two, three, four
Out – one, two, three, four, five
In – one, two, three
Hold – one, two, three, four
Out – one, two, three, four, five
Continue to breathe deeply as you go into this relaxation.
Your relaxation becomes a blanket of warmth. Sink down into this quiet place inside yourself.
PAUSE
You are calm and peaceful now. It is time for your journey.
PAUSE
You are strolling along a path in a forest. Notice this path. How does it feel under your feet? Is this path a smooth grassy path? Are there pebbles? What kind of shoes are you wearing?
As you walk down this path, take a moment to feel the air on your skin – the sunlight shining down – gentle breezes caressing your clothes.
As you travel, notice sights, sounds, and fragrances: birds, butterflies, wind in the trees.
What is your reaction to this place? How do you feel beyond your body?
Strolling for a short time, you come to a clearing in the forest with openings to different paths.
As you look at the different paths, one attracts you.
You look down this path and see something shining in the sun off in the distance.
You’re drawn to this shining spot in the sun. What is it?
You walk along this path that you just selected. How does it feel under your feet? Is it smooth? Are there pebbles? Is it a smooth dirt path? Are there stepping stones?
As you walk toward the shiny spot ahead, you feel layers and layers of your past drop away.
The weight of the world evaporates from your shoulders.
PAUSE
You soon arrive at the end of the path where you see a bench waiting for you.
There, on this bench, you see new clothes, neatly folded.
When you look at them, you see they are more beautiful than any you’ve seen before.
You remove the clothes you are wearing and put on these new clothes. They are a perfect fit.
You walk up a slight hill toward the shining object you saw at the beginning of your walk.
As you approach the shining object, you discover it is a mirror.
You look in this mirror and see your reflection.
You see:
The person you have always known you were.
The person you have always wanted to be.
You see yourself as strong, and happy.
NOW – you can continue to explore your new “you” as you return to this room.
You know you can return to this place anytime you want.

Guided Meditations get you to the next level in your sessions.
I learned about guided meditations in Mary Ruth Van Landingham’s classes at Terra Christa in Vienna, Virginia. She always included a guided meditation as part of each learning experience.
When Rev. Dan Chesbro taught a class at Terra Christa, he always included a guided meditation. Looking back on his sessions, I see now they were guided meditations in and of themselves.
I bought three books at Terra Christa: “Meditations for Awakening”, “Meditations for Transformation”, and “Meditations for Healing” by Larry Moen. These books became part of every work day, whether I was teaching or healing.
The influence of these books on my career was significant.
As a matter of fact, I wore out the Awakening book and had to buy another to replace it. The other two need to be replaced now.
I’ve bought other guided meditation how-to books over the years.
Two that stand out include “Guided Imagery for Groups” by Andrew E. Schwartz and “Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamps for Healing, Harmony, and Purification” by Clemence Lefevre. I’m including them in this list because they are interesting and helpful. Each book shows how different and honest guided meditations can be.
These 2 books each have a different approach to guided meditations. Through the years, even though I wore out the Larry Moen books, it was important to me to expand my boundaries and use different information. That’s how I learned.
Somehow, my learning path included one short class about writing my own guided meditations. I took an End-of-Life Class at the New York Open Center. Henry Fersco-Weiss taught this class over a weekend. He included a short instruction about creating a guided meditation. It was all I needed.
I knew after that short segment that I could do this on my own. Even though I’ve written many guided meditations, I always return to Larry Moen’s books. Specifically, I like to select “Lagoon” on page 20 of “Meditations for Awakening.” I always go to this meditation in my Reiki 1 classes.
But, when you get into guided meditations, the choices are many.
I hope you’ll be motivated to incorporate guided meditations at every opportunity.
