INTERNALIZATION
Fifth chakra meditation focuses on the Vishuddha or throat chakra - first of the three spiritual chakras in our body.
Vishuddha in Sanskrit means "pure." It is the seat of our truth.
Who we are and what we say is located in this chakra.
Blue is the color of this chakra. Imagine the mat is a blanket and you are lying outdoors. The weather is perfect and the sky is a brilliant blue. Visualize a clear, blue sky.
Take a few deep breaths and focus attention on every inhalation and exhalation picturing this clear blue sky.
Say to yourself mentally “I am practicing Yoga Nidra”
Say to yourself mentally “I will stay awake for Yoga Nidra”
With every inhalation, expand your boundaries of your body
With each exhale dissolve the physical boundaries and feel connected to everyone and everything
Imagine sky blue purifying light entering your mouth filling your throat, mouth and chest
This blue light is bringing you back into a place integrity aligning your words with your thoughts, hopes and dreams
This blue light is cleansing negative expression, gossip or any hurtful speech that is self- directed or directed towards others.
This blue light is finding and multiplying the self-respect in your body.
Self-respect means respecting yourself by valuing your own truths.
It means trusting yourself to do what you believe is right even when this means disappointing other people.
Even when other people don’t understand
When you respect yourself , the approval of others is not important.
Remember that you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity just as everyone else does.
We are all equals.
We are all important.
We are all worthy of respect.
Cultivating self-respect gives you the ability to love yourself for who you truly are.
Without self- respect we can feel regret, shame, loathing and blame
Remember, we are respected by others according to how much we respect ourselves.
If we do not respect ourselves, we cannot expect others to treat us with respect?
Get to know and appreciate who you truly are and respect yourself.
Free yourself from the expectations of others and hear your inner voice.
The inner voice will guide you to a free and happy life filled with integrity and self-respect.
Listen in all directions for sounds. . .
And in the heartbeat hear the sound on the universe often manisfested in the mantra om.
Now come back to the breath and hear the whisper of the Sankalpa
SANKALPA
………………… If you don’t have a sankalpa for today simple say “I respect others and I am respected by others”

VISUALIZATION
Now you are going to travel into your past
In the same way you have travelled from the past into the present
Retracing the steps of your memory and consciousness backward from this time
The past in part of time and time is part of your mind
Normally you walk forward in time
I am asking you to walk backward in time
By remembering your past you are going into the deep recesses of your consciousness
Scan your life. Remember the timeline of your life.
Notice within last year something you were involved in, a project or program that made you feel good, where you felt respected.
Or perhaps something you are always involved in that brings you respect, pleasure and fulfillment.
And as you are scanning yourself participating in this program event
Notice what you bring or brought to this particular specific event
Notice when you felt respected.
Notice when you gave respect to others.
What did you bring to this event?
Was it true creativity?
Was it a sense of organization?
Was it an awareness of deep encouragement?
Was it bringing about a sense of order and harmony?
When you work on this project do you feel like you are working from integrity?
Focus and notice the main qualities that you brought to this program, event, to this special project
Without censorship or judgement
What your proclivities are
What did you or do you bring
And mentally record it and be aware of it
And go back a few more years continuing to scan your life on this time line of possibilities
And notice yourself feeling respected as you are involved in particular projects goals
What are you giving?
How are you sharing?
How are you expressing yourself?
Why are you happy?
Are you acting in integrity?
Are you being respectful?
Are you being respected?
As you are noticing this
Begin to notice
Notice your unique way of being in the world
Notice the respect and integrity you bring. Notice the way you treat others and the respect you bring them.
Notice the small ways that self –respect and respect to others fills your life with joy.
As you are noticing and becoming aware of the respect realize that . .
There is always something to try to happen through you through your own unique patterns
Not someone else’s pattern although it may be similar there may be similar qualities
Notice as you go back a little further
Go back to being a young girl or boy
What were your proclivities?
What was the gift?
What did you bring?
How do you interact with others?
Were you respectful of them?
Were they respectful of you?
See if you can see a connection between the little boy and girl, the young man or woman, and the most recent experience?
What has always been with you?
What has always been there trying to express itself?
What makes you feel like you are acting in integrity?
What makes you feel respected?
Are you respectful to others?
