Roaming Yogi Guided Meditation Podcast

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). You can read more about the manifestation current (and about how I manifested my idea of traveling the world) in this blog post: https://roamingyogi.co/manifesting-through-the-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.

It represents our ability to make decisions confidently and to believe in ourselves.

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?

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.

There is a warrior within all of us. An inner warrior that stands for something. That fights for something. What are you a warrior for? Remember that what we think, say, and do is what we stand for.

The winter solstice marks the first day of winter, but it also marks our transition back towards the light...towards longer, brighter, warmer days. On the winter solstice, the sun begins to climb higher into the sky, which has been seen in many cultures as a symbol of rebirth. The winter solstice is the time to acknowledge our dark side, to heal our wounds, release old thought patterns and align with our light and our heartfelt intentions. Take this time to reflect on the year you’ve had. To decide how you will finish this year, and by extension, how you will bring in the new year.

In this guided meditation, I invite you to set your intention for the day and to visualize how your day will unfold as you live in line with that intention. The intention you choose is up to you. Whatever it is, allow it to land deeply in your heart and mind. Then take it out into your day and live it.

This meditation will guide you to visualize your day and how/where you want to place your energy throughout the day. Physically, mentally, and emotionally, where are you choosing to place your energy? How do you want to utilize that energy? This meditation is best practiced in the morning so that you can visualize your day and then go out and live it!

We live in an age that feeds impatience. Our culture values quantity and speed over quality and care. When we are impatient, we are in a hurry for things to be different. We are uncomfortable with how things are in the present moment. Practicing patience is practicing being in the present moment. This guided meditation is intended to keep you in the now. In this moment...with your body, breath, and mind.

The new moon is a time to go inward. A time of introspection. A time to rest, reflect, and plant metaphorical seeds. To set new intentions, start new projects and begin to cultivate new positive habits. In this meditation we’ll inquire deeply to focus on the desires or intentions we wish to manifest during this lunar cycle.

This a guided meditation for letting go and making space. Just as the trees shed their leaves in the fall, this is your invitation to let go Every fall season, we see that the trees graciously release their leaves, allowing them to fall away. The trees never clutch to their old leaves for fear of needing them later. They willingly let go of the old and make space for the new leaves that will come in the spring. This guided meditation will guide you in letting go of what no longer serves, in order to make space for all that you want to invite in!

The full moon is a powerful time to release negative habits and limiting beliefs. Energy has been building during the waxing moon phase, and the full moon is the time to release that energy. To unburden yourself, and to take action on the intentions you set at the new moon. To expand into your potential. In this meditation we’ll revisit our new moon intentions. We’ll inquire as to what we need to bring forth in order to see them manifest. And we’ll release those things that are standing in our way; the things that no longer serve us.

This is a calming breath guided meditation to help us use the power of the breath to regulate our energy and calm our minds. I’ve always said that where the breath goes, the mind will follow. See how as the breath slows, the mind chatter lessens.
