During my university years I became drawn to learning more about visual meditation. Rather than sitting in complete silence I found it more helpful to imagine symbols or images while sitting with my eyes closed. This kept my mind engaged and prevented it from running off. Over the years, I combined some of my favorite visual meditations related to love, creativity and mental clarity. One of my favorites I like to call “The Sun- Self meditation”.

I use the Sun-Self meditation to detach from things that I feel overly connected to.  When I overthink about a situation that I am no longer physically apart of, I know it is time to disconnect.  This can happen with work, conversations, and even projects we are deeply invested in.  The Sun-Self meditation helps us reclaim, cleanse and then recycle our energy within our own chakra system.

The Sun-Self Meditation 

Sit upright

legs crossed.

Straighten your back.

Place your hands on your knees

or rest them in your lap.

Close your eyes.

Focus on the quiet around you.

Now Imagine there is a small sun.

Right above your head.

This sun represents your energy.

And it can go anywhere.

In fact, it is in many places right now.

At school.

At work.

In projects

In past conversations

with family or friends.

Your energy has done a good job.

For this you can smile.

But now it is time to call  your energy

back home.

Thank your sun energy.

For the work it has done.

Now call your energy back

by simple stating

“Come home”

Imagine your sun energy flowing

back towards your direction.

Back towards the sun

that sits above your head.

Watch as your energy enters

back into your sun.

rotating and turning

becoming new once again.

Now as your sun is filling up

it is ready to be poured out.

Imagine the bottom of the sun opening

and your golden energy flowing down.

It flows into the top of your head.

Warm and soothing.

As it makes its way down.

Down your spine

To your arms

To your fingers

Down your legs

To your feet.

Smile.

Thank your golden energy

For returning home.
