Daily Meditation Podcast #1652 Day 5: "Creating Confidence" - A Gentle Path to Peace Meditations
In this fifth episode of the Peace series, we turn our attention to the Third Chakra—Manipura, the center of inner strength, confidence, and personal power. During seasons of transition, this chakra can become clouded by doubt, fatigue, or emotional heaviness, making it harder to feel grounded or at peace. Today's practice is designed to gently reignite the warm, steady flame within you—without force, pressure, or striving.
Through calming guided awareness, you'll be invited to soften into the area around your solar plexus, releasing tension and reconnecting with the quiet strength that lives beneath the surface. This is not about pushing forward—it's about remembering your inner stability, the part of you that remains steady even when life feels fast or uncertain.
By awakening the Third Chakra with intention and gentleness, you may notice a subtle shift: clearer boundaries, lighter energy, and a renewed sense of calm confidence. Peace is not only a softening—it is also a steadying. And today, you reconnect with both.
Manipura invites you to feel warm, centered, and quietly powerful—ready to move through the season with peace glowing from within.
This is a replay of a series I recorded a few years ago!
ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES
As the year winds down and the world grows louder with commitments, celebrations, and expectations, this series invites you to do something rare and powerful: slow down. The Peace Meditation Series is your gentle companion through the end-of-year rush and into the quiet promise of a brand new beginning.
Each episode is designed to help you release what no longer serves you, soften the nervous system, and return to a deep sense of calm—no matter what the season brings. Whether you are reflecting on the year behind you or setting intentions for the year ahead, these moments of stillness are here to steady your breath, clear your mind, and reconnect you with your inner peace.
This is not about striving or fixing. It is about remembering the calm that already lives within you. Welcome to your season of peace.
