The Practice

1. Focused Attention Meditation

For this entire practice, use an eye mask to create a more peaceful and calming environment, improving focus.

Begin in an upright sitting position with your legs crossed in front of your body, while maintaining good alignment with your head, shoulders, and hips.  Take a moment to settle down and place your hands on your thighs or knees. Then take deep belly breaths through your nose and out through your mouth. Notice how your body and mind feel and what baggage you carry. Moreover, focus on what you can release for this practice. Take more deep belly breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth.

2. Deep Relaxation

Begin in an upright sitting position with your legs crossed in front of your body, while maintaining good alignment with your head, shoulders, and hips. If external thoughts come into your mind during this practice, take a moment to acknowledge and understand them without judgment. Take a deep breath and notice your breathing without judgment; bring awareness. Breathe deeper and send more love to those tense organs, reminding them they are safe and protective. Take another deep belly breath, in through your nose and out through your mouth. You may also count your breaths, inhale for 5 counts, and exhale for 7. Repeat a few times, allowing your breath to lengthen as you take your slow, gentle relaxation. 

3. Meditation for Confidence and Self-Esteem 

Begin in an upright sitting position with your legs crossed in front of your body, while maintaining good alignment with your head, shoulders, and hips. Acknowledge that you live in a unique society and that everything you’ve learned creates a successful persona; you’re the same person throughout your life. When you are biased along the way, you only understand your thoughts, experience, and what you collect from your surroundings. Then, you must understand that confidence and self-esteem do not come from your character or what has fitted out of you, but it’s an innate sensation you have that can be valued. Once you have confidence and self-esteem, everything you do and say is effective. Choose how worthy you truly are, not by your insecurities and those around you, because you are innately invaluable.

4. Green Light Healing Meditation

Begin in an upright sitting position with your legs crossed in front of your body, while maintaining good alignment with your head, shoulders, and hips. Acknowledge the thoughts that arise, take deep belly breaths, in through your nose and out through your nose, releasing what no longer serves you.

Once again, take deep belly breaths and exhale through your nose, releasing any insecurities and worries. Bring awareness to those thoughts again and find gratefulness in this present moment. Then relax your shoulders and face, slowly imagine a bright yellow light illuminating your body,  creating an aura of protection and freeing energy and self-confidence. Visualize that this bright yellow light gently turns to a powerful royal green, a color of luck, success, and abundance. Imagine that this green illuminating light begins to expand, filling up your entire room and you don’t fear taking out that space and being seen. When the people around you feel or react to this illuminating light, their reactions do not bother you. Then you just understand that they acknowledge you whether their reaction is pleasant or not. Take several deep belly breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth.

5. Self-Love Meditation

From the 4- Green Light Healing Meditation position, humble yourself by lowering your gaze. Then take a moment to allow self-love, taking time for yourself to some indulgences, like eating food that makes your body happy and healthy, which enables you to link with your spirit and soul. This also enables you to feed your happiness, self-confidence, and self-esteem. 

6. Affirmation Meditation

For this meditation, you can add other affirmations you want that will boost your confidence. 

Begin in an upright sitting position with your legs crossed in front of your body, while maintaining good alignment with your head, shoulders, and hips. Feel confident by saying these affirmations out loud, "I am confident and strong". “I do not fear my shadow.” “I do not fear how brightly I shine.” Then, take deep belly breaths, in through your nose and out through your nose.
