Settle In And Breathe

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Lion-hearted guided meditation. Allow your shoulders to drop away from your ears as you settle into a comfortable position. Feel your breath as it moves into your body. And allow yourself to exhale a little bit longer than that inhale, giving your body permission to let go. Take in three deep breaths, slow, easy. Allowing yourself to rest just a little bit more on each exhale. Relax your forehead and soften your eyes. Really allowing yourself to settle in to this moment, to write now. Everything else disappears as you notice your breath. And maybe even the beat of your beautiful heart. Open your hands and soften your thighs. And allow yourself to imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet, anchoring you deeply into the earth. Let that solidity move up your spine through your heart, allowing you to feel safe, supported, and held. On your next breath, see if you can bring your breath deeper into your body. Feel your belly expand and releasing out of your mouth. Soften your jaw. Beautiful, allowing yourself to relax even more.

Call In The Lion Guardian

SPEAKER_00 3:14

Now you're going to call in the presence of the lion. Regal, grounded, and gorgeous. Feel lion arrive beside you. Strong, calm, and oh so noble, a guardian of truth and courage. Feel the presence of Lion now. With Lion by your side, bring your awareness to the center of your chest. Breathe into your heart space. Notice the beat of your own heart. Imagine a golden, warm pulsing. So soft, so radiant, and it expands with each breath. You notice your body relaxing even more and your heart center expanding. Lion at your side. You with your heart. Feel this invitation to go within, to go deeper into your heart. With Lion by your side, stand courageously within your own truth. In your own heart. Lion's breath moves through your chest like a warm wind. This breath is stirring what is ready to be released. Feel the ancient strength of lion helping you lift the heaviness of grief. Release the tightness of resentment. The helpless feeling. See these energies rise up like smoke and dissolve into the light. Transmuted, honored, and then release.

Shed The Past And Release

SPEAKER_00 7:42

Take a deep breath in, in through your nose, out of your mouth. Let the past fall away. Just like the beautiful lion shedding its fur, shedding from the gorgeous mane. Anything that's ready to go, shed it now. It is no longer yours to carry. Beautiful. Keep breathing and releasing. Feeling lighter, feeling more open, feeling your heart expand. Beautiful. Adding some nourishment all the way around the edges. Any spot that feels worn or tattered. Put some of that healing salve on it now. Putting tender, loving care into your beautiful heart. Repairing anything that needs repaired. Beautiful again, allowing the lion's breath, that warm wind to move through your heart, feeling even more supported and even lighter, more open, more expansive.

Ask Your Heart What It Wants

SPEAKER_00 9:38

Now, in this cleansed and open space, take a deep breath in and ask yourself: what does my heart truly long for? Let this answer rise not from your mind, not from your thoughts, but from deep within your beautiful, intelligent heart, the connection to your soul, the bridge between your body and your light. What does my heart truly long for? Notice anything that comes, any images, sounds, impressions, any sensations. As you allow this answer to rise up, rise up from your knowing into your conscious awareness. Lion's golden eyes meet yours, and you feel the fierce permission to want what you want, to love what you love, to move forward with courage. Let this feeling settle into your body, into your bones. Let it settle into your truth and into your clarity. Let it light the fire of purpose within your being.

Affirm Your Next Step

SPEAKER_00 13:41

With Lion at your side, you place your hands on your heart, and you affirm, I choose to live from here. I choose to embrace the next step. And then the next, allowing my heart to lead the way. I choose to live from here. Lion places one large paw on the center of your heart, right on top of your hands. Allow yourself to take in this magnificent healing now. Beautiful, stay with it. That big paw on your heart, giving you the healing you need. Notice, feel, take in that nourishment now. Thank you for your gifts. Thank you for your medicine. Thank you.

Return To Your Body

SPEAKER_00 15:57

Bringing your awareness back to your body. You can say goodbye to Lion, knowing that you can reach this magnificent being at any time. When you are ready, you can open your eyes, your heart steady and clear. And so it is.
