Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome. This meditation supports the Stage Three task of connecting to your internal energy and feelings. In this task, you are asked to recognize and name emotions as you feel them, and seek the root cause. You are then asked to notice how emotions correlate with energy moving in your body. This helps you connect with the energy so that you can work with it later. This meditation will support recognizing that energy and how it relates to emotions, as well as finding the roots of those emotions. You should note that understanding and exploring your emotions does not mean that you need to express every feeling you have out loud, or to anyone at all. This is for your own personal exploration and understanding.\u00a0

Posture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a moment to get comfortable. For this exploration, you will want to sit or lay down and close your eyes.\u00a0

Presence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a slow deep breath. Let it out like a sigh of relief. Be at peace. You are here now. Take another slow deep breath, and this time, send it out slowly, consciously, with purpose, all the way.\u00a0Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace.\u00a0

Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will begin with a body scan. Place your attention inside your head. What sensations are there? Notice each breath as it fills the head. Feel the brain thinking. Take a moment to explore what you physically feel there.\u00a0

What emotions are there (if any)?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All emotions are rooted in one of two things… fear or love. If you feel anger, sadness, unworthiness or another negative emotion, you are ultimately afraid of something. What are you afraid of?

If you feel joy, adventure, freedom, friendship, inspiration or another positive emotion, you are ultimately in love with something… what do you feel love for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s scan down the body now. Let your attention travel down to the throat. What do you feel here? What is the root of these feelings?

Move down to the heart now, home to most of our feelings of love…\u00a0What do you feel here? What is the root of these feelings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move down to the solar plexus now… the stomach area, home to most of our fears…\u00a0What do you feel here? What is the root of these feelings?

Move down now to the lower dantian… to the gut area. You may feel an expansion as you focus on this area of the body. What do you feel here… physical sensations… emotions?\u00a0
You might notice that the emotions feel different here. Was it wisdom? Grounding? A more universal kind of love? Enjoy these feelings for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your heart… then to the head… then to the eyes…. and finally back to your surroundings. Notice how you feel. Take this feeling with you and return to it anytime you like by exploring the physical and energetic sensations in your body and the emotions that go with them. When you feel an emotion, explore it to find out what you are afraid of, or what you are in love with. This will allow you to express yourself more truthfully in your relationships, and even just with yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
