Expanding into Love and Trust

Love & Trust

Sep 18

I thought to myself, “This is not a problem because all I have to do is ask the universe for some help.”

My car broke down today. The moment it happened, one of my regular go-to’s is to panic.

But this morning, I wasn't feeling any panic - instead, I was feeling capable. I trust that I can come up with a solution.

Introduction
Good morning. Welcome to a morning Reiki meditation.
My name is Hillary Wolf and I am a Make-Your-Own-Magic Coach. I help individuals find out, acknowledge and own what their superpower is so that they can then harness all of that beautiful ability to connect with the universe and expand and create magic wherever they want to.
I'm also a Reiki master teacher and one of my favorite things to play with is meditation.
This morning we're gonna play with meditation all about expanding into love and trust. Yesterday, I was really feeling grateful because I was.
I was driving, not super close to home, and my car broke down. The moment it happened, one of my regular go-tos is to kind of panic. But yesterday, this morning, I wasn't feeling any panic, and instead, I was feeling capable.
I was feeling creative, and I was feeling safe. My car broke down, I knew exactly what the situation was.
I went into 7-Eleven to get what I needed for the car. They didn't have it and then I was able to call my neighbor who came with everything that I needed with a smile.
The second that my car broke down, I thought, “This is not a problem because all I have to do is ask the universe for some help.”
This is not a problem. And that feeling of trust and that feeling, of creativity that I got to collaborate with the universe and create the perfect solution, felt so good.
It felt so solid and I felt so grateful that I was able to easily transition into “Everything's fine. I trust that I can come up with a solution because I am collaborating with the universe to create whatever I want for myself.”
Today, I want to expand into that feeling of creativity, into that feeling of trust.
Geranium Essential Oil
All of that comes from a place of also loving where I'm at. So, before we start our meditation this morning, I want to, plug the essential oil that I use when I want to expand into love and trust.
That is Geranium which literally is the oil of love and trust so I actually put this in the diffuser almost daily. I use it when I have a bad dream at night or a nightmare. This is the only oil that actually helps me calm down and get back to sleep.
I love putting this in my laundry in the dryer. When it comes out it feels like love it feels like support. I also love having this oil available for my girls when they come back from their dad's house. It helps our transition day not be so crazy.
Geranium oil - the oil of love and trust, that's what I already have going in the diffuser and I'm ready to use it for our meditation on expanding into love and gratitude and trust.
Meditation Begins
So wherever you are, there's no wrong way to meditate. I like to sit in a chair so that I'm supported and so that I can be present and not fall asleep while I'm meditating. I like to sit with my hands up and open because that just tells my body neurologically there's nowhere to go and I'm perfectly safe in this situation.
Whatever feels comfortable for you, as long as you can just melt wherever you are and really get into your body.
Getting into your body and loving the situation that you're in. So wherever you're at, let's dive in and go ahead and get started. Wherever you are, we're going to start with a 10-count breath, breathing in with the one and out with the two, and so on for a count of 10.
As you breathe in, I invite you to breathe in love. Breathe in solid trust. So let's go ahead and get started.
Breathing in with the one and out with the two, in with the three. Out with the 4. In with the 5. Out with the 6. Starting to get really comfy. In with the 7. Out with the 8. In with the 9. Out with the 10.
Wherever you're at, I invite you to take up your normal, natural breathing rhythm.
Today we're going to start at the top of the head. And we're going to open up this beautiful God door or the crown chakra. We're going to open it up and allow for all of the beautiful, brilliant energy of the universe to infiltrate our system.
Focusing on the top of the head, I invite you to imagine a trap door at the top of your head.
With love, I invite you to open that door. Through that door, we're going to allow for a bright, beautiful, brilliant light to enter our bodies, starting at that head space - at the crown of the head.
As that light enters the body, it starts to illuminate every cell that it touches.
And cell by cell, little by little, that light starts to activate every piece of our body.
Allowing that light to come down through the head, move down into the face, illuminate and activate those eye muscles, relaxing the cheekbones, moving down through the face into the back of the jaw, giving you the opportunity to notice the back of the jaw and then relax it.
Give yourself more opportunity to breathe in more oxygen. Calm the body by doing so.
Allowing that bright, beautiful, brilliant light to move down into the throat space illuminating and activating our ability to speak our truth.
Moving down into the shoulders, noticing the shoulders, and allowing them to melt and soften.
Coming into the chest, into the heart space. In this space, I invite you to breathe in love, and noticing. In this space, the heartbeat, noticing the breath that comes into this space and allowing the breath and the heart to connect with that bright, beautiful, brilliant light and energy that we've let into the body.
Allowing the connection between those to create a spark and then allowing that spark to expand throughout the chest into the shoulders, allowing for those shoulder blades to drop down along the back and allowing for the shoulders to open.
Allowing that spark to expand from the chest down through the ribs, through the ribcage into the torso.
In this space, allowing that spark and that bright, beautiful, brilliant light to make a connection between that solar plexus and the sacral chakra.
Between that space, just between the ribcage, where it comes together at the bottom. This is your power center.
As we expand our ability to be love and to appreciate love, we also get to connect it with this space where we are powerful.
So breathing into that space, I am power. I am power that comes from love.
Then connecting it downward with the belly. This beautiful, powerful chakra. This sacral chakra, where we get to be creative and we get to acknowledge our ability to create anything that we want to without fear and instead with loving power
Connecting these three spaces, the heart space, the solar plexus, and the sacral chakra - I invite you to allow that bright, beautiful, brilliant light to expand into the affirmation.
I am safe.
I can create whatever solution I need to, to any challenge. And in fact, I am so adept. Creating love, gratitude, and trust that things that might feel challenging are in fact not a challenge.
I breathe my life in easily. I create what I need for myself with ease.
Allow that bright, beautiful, brilliant spark to continue to expand down into the hips, down into that root chakra, where you truly are safe.
Allowing that bright, beautiful, brilliant light to activate every cell into the hips. Down into the legs, moving down the thighs, into the knees, down into the calves and shins.
Activating this space in your body. Activating, I am safe. Taking a few breaths and a few moments here to notice the connection, to notice the amplification and the activation that the universe has poured deliciously throughout the body.
Now from here coming back into the torso, coming back to our beautiful connection between the sacral, sacral chakra, and solar plexus and heart space.
From here I invite you to expand that spark beyond the body, moving the solid connection outward into the space around you.
Allowing that spark and that light to fill the room around you and then the building around you.
Giving this light a color, a sensation, as you continue to move it outward into your neighborhood.
Moving this light and this energy out into your city. Moving this very potent light and energy out into the state and then beyond that.
Across the country, and beyond that, around the globe, and even more beyond that, out into the ethos.
This is your bubble of protection, of love, loving being in this human experience, and of trust.
Trust that the universe has everything that you need and in infinite ways, reminds you that you are safe.
You are the creator of what gets to come into your space.
Notice how far this expansion has moved and how big you get to be.
Coming up with solutions and leaving this expanded ability to sit in love and trust and to create whatever you need for yourself.
I invite you to come back into your body still allowing that bubble around you. Come back into your body.
With three solidifying breaths, we'll breathe in the connection between all of these spaces within our body and our physical ability to expand our trust and also to expand our own ability to create whatever we need for ourselves.
Coming back into this space, into the torso. Three solidifying breaths, breathing in with the one. And exhale. In with the two. And exhale. And in with the three. And exhale.
If you're ready to come back into this space, I invite you to do so without judgment.
Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes. Open your eyes gently. If you want to stay in that expansive bubble of love and trust, everything that comes at you, that gets to present itself in your experience, is okay, it's safe, and there is a solution.
I invite you to stay there and continue to breathe and expand and sit deliciously in that expansion.
For those of us coming out of the meditation, I hope that this gets, this bubble stays with you. I hope that if you need to remind yourself that everything is okay, that you are a beautiful creator.
You can come back to this space, this ability to expand all of this for yourself.
I love you all. I hope you have a beautiful, loving, and trusting rest of your week and I will see you next time.
