Channel Energy

Persistence takes energy and a lot of it. But how do we gather and maintain this energy? Nathalie Croix, one of my teachers and the shining light leading the way through my 300 hour Teacher Training shares with us a meditation designed to inspire …

Channel Energy by Nathalie Croix

Find a quiet space and sit up tall

Take a deep breath through the nose and exhale through your mouth 

Repeat this twice more 

As you sit up tall feel your spine align 

With your eyes still opened notice your surroundings/feelings/noises/colors 

Now on your next breath softly close your eyes 

Connect with your heart space and feel your heartbeat 

Breathe silently ten full rounds of breaths 

If is helpful count the breaths 

Inhale and exhale for one

Inhale and exhale for two 

And so on…

As you do this practice, connect with your breath and the sensations in the present moment

When you complete ten rounds bring your awareness to the center of your heart space and feel your heartbeat. Know that you are the creator of this energy, this life force, the uniqueness of you.

Now imagine your favorite place on Planet Earth.

What does that feel like?

Connect with all the sensations you felt when you were there.

The sounds

The light 

The sun 

The rain 

The ocean 

The mountains 

Stay with this feeling and visualize a divine white light coming down from the Heavens and surrounding you.

No matter how many mountains you must climb, deep inside you know the sun is always shining. 

You are always surrounded by divine white light.

Call this light any time in your journey you need extra life force. 

To follow all your dreams 

Know they are true. 

This life force, bright and magnificent, a light which never ever gives up, is always available to you.

By simply connecting to the light once again take a deep breath through the nose

Exhale as you open your mouth

Open your eyes

Remain still for a few moments. 

Arrive 

Feel your whole body awakened 

Into this new moment 

Of wholeness 

Of heartspace 

The gift of life.
