For this meditation make a pact with yourself to open the door to any emotions you have been repressing or avoiding. Write yourself a note about this new commitment, writing directly to your physical, emotional and energetic bodies: "Hello, I invite you to relax and release any barriers and blocks to any emotions I have been holding. I want to learn to honor and release all the stuck emotions and fears from my body." Let yourself know that you are now open to listen and have compassion for any pain or stuck places in any of your three bodies.

Check in with your physical body/temple. Have you locked the door of your temple to keep out fear and negative emotions, or have you locked them in the temple with you? Imagine opening the door with all your love. Call in guides, animal or human, to help support you in learning to open. Remember you are not opening to call in more wounding or inflict more pain on yourself; you are opening to release tension, discomfort, and disease from your body. Breathe! Let your breath open up the hardened, numbed areas in you. Be compassionate and patient. Breathe out, into the earth, anything you would like to release. Breathe in the brilliant light of life, the laughter of the flowers, the softness of forgiveness.
