Seated, eyes closed. Bring your attention to the crown of your head, where the crown chakra is located. Visualize a violet or white light radiating from this area, symbolizing your connection to the universe and higher consciousness. Repeat silently. “I find strength in affirming myself; and supporting and uplifting others.” Visualize the mats with people around you, each shining with their own light. Imagine everyone in this circle not only affirming their own worth and identity, but yours as well. Feel the energy of unity and support flowing through the circle.
Breathe in, know that you are breathing in. Breathe out, know that you are breathing out. Feel your breath grow deeper and breathe in, let your breath grow deep. Breathe out, let your breath grow slow. Now, bring your awareness to your body. Breathe in, be aware of your body. Breathe out, calm your body. Pull the corners of the mouth upward and outward. Allow a smile to form. Breathe in, smile. Breathe out, release any tension or stress. Feel yourself in the present. Breathe in, dwell in the present moment. Breathe out, enjoy the present moment. Stay with this sense of presence for a few more moments. Slowly open your eyes and bring your awareness back to the room.
