Transcript

What is meditation?

Well, meditation can be different depending on the individual. However, most meditative goals are focused on relaxation, focus and clarity. Oftentimes, though, meditation can be used as a tool for self exploration and insight.

This meditation will focus on forgiveness and personal power. personal power is rooted in establishing self confidence and personal strength, not power over others. By offering self forgiveness, we can often open doors to step further into our own personal power.

Of course, this is not a practice that is completed overnight, but rather a lifelong journey. Perhaps this meditation is the first step. Begin by finding a comfortable space free from distractions. This meditation can be done sitting or lying down.

So take a moment to get comfortable and take any last movements you may need before finding stillness. One still begin to feel yourself connected to the earth beneath you. begin to notice the sensation of being connected or rooted to the earth.
