For this meditation, I’m inviting you to think of an idea or goal that you want to work on; that you want to bring to life. This idea has been floating out in the cosmos; in the realm of universal consciousness. In this meditation, we’re going to take this idea or goal down through each of the chakras, moving from the realms of imagination and expression (the upper chakras) down into the realms of physicality and experience (the lower chakras).

The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. On this day, the sun burns brighter and longer than on any other day. This makes it a time to celebrate into your inner fire - your own little piece of the sun burning brightly inside. This is the fire that nourishes your hopes and dreams. The same way that crops could never grow without the Earth’s sun, your life would shrivel and shrink without your inner fire. The summer solstice is also a time to let go of what no longer serves us. To place those things in the fire and release them. In this guided meditation, you will set an intention for the coming months, and begin to let go of anything standing in your way of manifesting that intention.

In this mediation, we’re moving from the root chakra to the crown chakra, bringing balance to each chakra as we move our way up towards liberation; towards freedom. Freedom of expression, freedom of imagination, and freedom to connect with universal consciousness. It’s pretty heady stuff, but don’t you worry, we’ll start right here on earth, with the root chakra.

The root chakra, also known as the Muladhara chakra, is the first chakra in the chakra system. The first chakra is the chakra of stability, security, and our basic needs. It represents our foundation and feeling of being grounded. When the root chakra is out of balance, you might feel a sense of restlessness or a sense of lethargy, depending on whether it’s overactive or underactive. Whether overactive or underactive, grounding practices that connect us to the earth (like this meditation) are the perfect way to bring some balance back to your root chakra.

This is a guided meditation for grounding your energy around times of travel. To be grounded is to feel stable. To feel safe and steady. To know that you belong and to feel secure in your belonging. Grounding is important because it’s the foundation we need in order to work on any other aspects of ourselves. It’s difficult to tap into creativity or compassion when we feel unstable. It’s hard to speak our truth or follow our intuition when we feel insecure. Travel can have the effect of ungrounding us. Of making us feel scattered and out of sorts. Grounding practices like this guided meditation before, during, or after travel, can help us to reconnect with ourselves.

Welcome to your evening wind down meditation! How many times have you taken your day to bed with you? Or how many times has your day followed you to bed, uninvited? This meditation is your invitation to release your day. To gift yourself the time and space to wind down. To sit with your day - without judgement or attachment - and to let it go. Release the day that’s already gone and make space for the day that’s to come.

We spend so much of our days running from one task to the other, our minds jumping from one thought to the next. It’s easy to live life on auto-pilot, essentially sleepwalking through life. This guided meditation is intended to bring you out of that auto-pilot. Take these few moments to connect to your breath; to your inner self.

This is a guided meditation for stress relief. One in which you will be guided to visualize your own peaceful, private place. This is a place that is entirely of your making. A soothing, calming, perfect place. One that you can come back to in your mind whenever you need some relaxation.

The last quarter moon is a time of letting go...of release and forgiveness. We are moving into the phase of surrender. This next week is the time to acknowledge the work you've done, and to surrender it to the Universe.
