Now this is awakening meditation, so feel free to keep your eyes open. Find a comfortable position to stand, sit, or lay down. If it is possible, set up in a way where you can temporarily rid yourself of any distractions to protect your mental, physical, and emotional energy throughout the day.You must first become aware of how your energy is currently feeling in your body. Draw attention to your thoughts. As you start to notice what is on your mind, are your thoughts calm and peaceful or negative and critical? You could even have the same thought that is just repeating over and over in your head.Notice what is happening with your thoughts right now,so draw attention to your breath as you start to settle into your physical body. Is your breath fast and shallow? Or slow and relaxed. You may even notice that you may be holding your breath. Focus on what is happening with your breath right now. Draw attention to your emotions as you scan your body, as your body is where emotions are experienced and may often even get stuck.Is there a place in your body where you feel these emotions? Maybe it feels like a tightness in your throat or your jaw, a constriction in your heart, a relaxed smile on your face, or maybe a feeling in your stomach. Notice where in your body you are experiencing emotions right now.Now as you release any and all energy that you're experiencing that is not aligned with love and your highest self -- release this energy within the next three breaths. With a deep inhale and exhale. Inhale and exhale. Inhale. And exhale.So bring your awareness to the top of your head, your crown chakra. Visualize a radiant rose quartz light shining down from the sky and coming through the crown of your head. Visualize this light filling your body with loving, peaceful energy into every single cell of your body.Allow this flight to extend beyond your physical body. Let it surround you as it creates a protective shield. Visualize this protective shield expanding until it is several feet beyond your physical body. This shield is not to keep others out as this shield is permeable. The shield is for you to decide what energy you wish to let in and what boundaries you wish to set with others for your highest self.As this meditation comes to an end, anchor this energetic shield to your physical body and keep it with you as you move throughout your day. Notice when you encounter energy that moves into your space. Pay attention to the thought. Feelings and sensations that you experience. Give yourself permission to allow only love in as you yourself are love and l
