Summary
On Day 5 of The Anchor of Now, we move from the stillness of the first two chakras into the radiant energy of the Third Chakra, the Manipura or Solar Plexus. This is the seat of your "will," your "I can," and your personal power. When we worry about the future, we often feel powerless, as if we are at the mercy of circumstances. Today, we stoke the inner fire to remind you that while you cannot control the future, you are the master of your response to it.
In today's episode:
Insight: Why "choosing" the present moment is the ultimate act of power.
Practice: A "Sun Breath" visualization to radiate confidence from your center.
Chakra Focus: Activating the yellow energy of the Solar Plexus for courage and boundaries.
This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Let Go of Self-Limiting Thoughts," episodes 2791-2797.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 2,795 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:08.3 | I'm Mary McLeigh, and I honor you for giving yourself permission to slow down, to |
| 0:16.8 | connect to the best part of who you are. How are you doing? I wonder how your challenge this |
| 0:27.6 | week is coming along. Every week you have a challenge to keep you attuned to the week's theme. |
| 0:36.7 | Your challenge this week is to reflect on your three best qualities and also to consider |
| 0:46.8 | a difficult situation you are in and answers you are seeking. |
| 0:53.1 | The theme is to listen to your intuition and you do this by letting go of |
| 1:01.4 | your self-limiting thoughts you're going to be guided today to allow yourself to fully embrace your best qualities. |
| 1:17.2 | And when you do this, you're able to tune into your intuition. |
| 1:23.6 | In fact, you're able to help yourself open up to what you might need to do to help you resolve difficult life circumstances. |
| 1:36.5 | This is tuning into your inner wisdom. |
| 1:39.7 | And that's what you'll be guided through in today's meditation. |
| 1:44.6 | So you can go ahead and settle yourself down and get ready to meditate. |
| 1:51.8 | Always making sure you're nice and comfortable. |
| 1:55.5 | I always encourage you to sit on the edge of a pillow. |
| 2:05.5 | This could be a meditation cushion, a pillow from your bed or from your sofa, and when you sit on the edge, this allows you to roll your hips forward, |
| 2:13.6 | and this keeps your spine neutral and straight, which is so important to help keep you alert |
| 2:20.5 | as you meditate. |
| 2:22.9 | All these different little tweaks really make a big difference when you meditate. |
| 2:29.2 | As you close your eyes, keep them slightly elevated upwards to keep your thoughts uplifted. |
| 2:43.2 | Notice the rhythm and flow of your breath. |
| 2:48.3 | Notice how you're feeling today. |
