Summer Solstice "I am" Meditation

Summer Solstice “I AM….” Sun Salutation Meditation

by Charnjit Bains 6/6/2015

Make sure you are of sound mind and safe before carrying out this meditation.

Sit in a comfortable position with both feet on the floor if sitting on a chair

Close your eyes (if applicable)

Take three comfortable breaths

As the sun is now at its peak, we can harness this life force energy, infusing each of our chakras with the “I am” energy of existence and life. 

Time to open our hearts and energy centres to allow our vibration to be in synch with the sun, the life giver energy.

During this special summer solstice time we will now draw upon this energy to allow each of our chakras to be fully activated, giving thanks and appreciating the life force that the energy of the sun gives us with optimistic hearts and minds, trusting in the divine nature that all events happen in the right place at the right time and for the right reasons.

Rest in this awareness for a while 

Take three comfortable breaths

Focusing on your base chakra, feel the vitality of its red energy affirming: “I am living life to the fullest – embracing each day with gratitude just for being alive “

Focusing on your sacral chakra, feel the creativity of its orange energy affirming: “I am wanting life to bring me into alignment with my true purpose”

Focusing on your solar plexus chakra, feel the empowerment of its yellow energy affirming: “I am feeling alive, joyful, youthful and radiant”

Focusing on your heart chakra, feel the calmness of its green energy affirming: “I am loving life and loving being alive”

Focusing on your throat chakra, feel the healing quality of its blue energy affirming: “I am communicating truth with vibrancy, vitality, enthusiasm, love and light”

Focusing on your third eye chakra, feel the vision of its indigo energy affirming: “I am seeing life for what it is and embracing opportunities to experience all that life has to offer”

Focusing on your crown chakra, feel the knowledge of its violet energy affirming: “I am all knowing for all answers are held within”

Give thanks to the universe affirming the following from above the crown and back down to bring us into alignment.

I am giving thanks for all the wonderful people in my life today.  

I am giving thanks for all the wonderful things in my life today.

I am connecting mind, body and soul bringing my being into total alignment.

I am giving life

I am connecting life

I am knowing life

I am seeing life

I am communicating life

I am loving life

I am feeling life

I am wanting life

I am living life

It’s great to be alive today!

I AM!!!

And so it is. 

And so it was.

And so it shall always be.

Sending roots out through your feet below

Sending cords out through your crown above

Sending threads of love from your heart front, back, left and right as far and wide as they will go

Rest in this awareness for a while 

Take three comfortable breaths

As we gently bring our awareness back to the room and back to our bodies, take three comfortable breaths. 

Very very gently ease the neck to one side, back to centre, to the other side, back to centre, down to the chest, back to centre, leaning back comfortably and back to centre.

Wiggle fingers and toes. Rub your hands together if you wish and gently wash over the face.  Give thanks to the universe.
