Step 0: Induction - Entering the Receptive State (8 min)

Begin by sitting comfortably with your spine straight but not rigid. Place your feet flat on the floor, and rest your hands on your thighs or in your lap. Gently close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in through your nose... hold it for a moment... and exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any tension.

[Pause 5 seconds]

Take another deep breath in... and as you exhale, allow your shoulders to relax and drop away from your ears.

[Pause 5 seconds]

Now, become aware of the weight of your body against the chair. Feel the points of contact – your sitting bones pressing down, your legs touching the seat, your feet connecting with the floor.

[Pause 5 seconds]

Bring your attention to your feet. Can you become aware of the space that your feet occupy in space? Can you sense the volume of space that your feet are in... in space?

[Pause 5 seconds]

Now move your awareness to your ankles and calves. Can you notice the space that your lower legs occupy in space? Can you sense the density of space that your ankles and calves are in... in space?

[Pause 5 seconds]

Continue moving your awareness up through your knees and thighs. Can you feel the space that your upper legs occupy in space? Can you sense the volume of space that your thighs are in... in space?

[Pause 5 seconds]

Bring your attention to your hips and lower back. Can you notice the space that your hips and lower back occupy in space? Can you sense the density of space that this area is in... in space?

[Pause 5 seconds]

Now, become aware of your abdomen and chest. Can you feel the space that your torso occupies in space? Can you sense the volume of space that your entire upper body is in... in space?

[Pause 5 seconds]

Notice your shoulders, arms, and hands. Can you become aware of the space that your upper limbs occupy in space? Can you sense the density of space that your arms and hands are in... in space?

[Pause 5 seconds]

Now, bring your awareness to your neck and throat. Can you notice the space that your neck occupies in space? Can you sense the volume of space that your neck is in... in space?

[Pause 5 seconds]

Finally, bring your attention to your face and head. Can you become aware of the space that your head occupies in space? Can you sense the density of space that your entire head is in... in space?

[Pause 5 seconds]

Now, with your entire body relaxed, bring your awareness to the space around you. Can you sense the space that your entire body occupies in space? And can you notice the volume of space that the space around your body takes up in space?

[Pause 10 seconds]

As you rest in this relaxed, aware state, notice how your mind is becoming quieter, more receptive. You're entering a state where energy exploration becomes possible, where you can begin to identify and shift between different levels of consciousness.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Step 1: Understanding the Energy Scale (4 min)

In this receptive state, imagine before you a vertical scale of energy and consciousness. This scale represents the full spectrum of emotional states available to you as an entrepreneur.

At the bottom of this scale are the densest, heaviest energies – shame, guilt, apathy. These states drain your energy and limit your perception.

[Pause 5 seconds]

In the middle of the scale are states like courage, neutrality, and interest – energies that allow for action and progress, though still requiring effort.

[Pause 5 seconds]

At the top of the scale are the lightest, most expansive energies – enthusiasm, joy, appreciation, peace. These states generate abundant energy and allow for effortless creation.

[Pause 5 seconds]

Now, imagine that alongside this vertical scale is a control panel – your personal energy dashboard. This control panel allows you to observe your current energy state and consciously shift to higher levels.

[Pause 10 seconds]

As we move through this meditation, you'll explore each level of energy, releasing what no longer serves you and strengthening your access to higher states. This isn't about judging any state as "bad" – each has served a purpose. This is about expanding your range and developing the ability to consciously choose your energy.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Remember, the way to release lower emotions is to simply feel them without resistance. When you allow them to come up fully, they naturally dissolve. Stay calm and relaxed throughout this process, observing each state with curiosity rather than judgment.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Step 2: Exploring Lower Energy States (12 min)

We'll begin at the bottom of the scale, looking for any guilt or shame within yourself. This emotion is usually located at the base of the spine, in the abdomen, or around the pelvic area.

[Pause 5 seconds]

Scan your body for any pockets of shame or guilt. You might remember something that deeply embarrasses you, something you'd be afraid of others discovering about you or your business.

[Pause 10 seconds]

As entrepreneurs, we sometimes carry shame around past failures, financial struggles, or moments when we felt like imposters. If you find this energy within you, simply notice where it resides in your body.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Allow this energy to come up so that it can come out and pass through. Stay calm and relaxed as you observe it. You're not this emotion – you're the awareness observing it.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Now, moving up to the next level, try to find any apathy within yourself. This is your depression, resignation, the sense of giving up. The state of "I can't" or "What's the point?"

[Pause 10 seconds]

In business, apathy might appear during plateaus, after setbacks, or during burnout. It's the feeling that nothing you do matters, that success is out of reach.

[Pause 10 seconds]

If you find this heavy, muddy energy within you, notice where it's located in your body. Allow it to come up without resistance so it can release.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Moving up to grief and sadness, the first level with actual emotional energy. See if you can find sadness within yourself – that sweet-bitter feeling of loss or separation.

[Pause 10 seconds]

As an entrepreneur, you might feel grief around opportunities lost, relationships that ended, or versions of your business that didn't materialize. Perhaps there's sadness about time spent away from loved ones or paths not taken.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Allow this sadness to surface if it's present. Feel where it resides in your body and let it come up and out, all while staying calm and relaxed.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Now, moving to fear – the center of the negative states. What are you afraid of in your business and life? What keeps you awake at night?

[Pause 10 seconds]

Perhaps it's fear of failure, rejection, or judgment. Maybe it's fear of success and its responsibilities. Or perhaps it's fear of financial insecurity or making the wrong decision.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Whatever your fear, allow yourself to feel the physical sensation of it in your body. Where do you feel it? Is there trembling, tightness, or heaviness?

[Pause 10 seconds]

To release fear, ask yourself: "What if this fear came true? What's next?" Keep asking "What's next?" until you reach the core. For example: "I'm afraid of my business failing." What's next? "I'd lose money." What's next? "I might have to start over." What's next? "I'd feel like a failure." What's next? "I'd have to face that I'm not who I thought I was."

[Pause 20 seconds]

Follow your fear to its root, and you'll often find it leads to the unknown – the ultimate fear. Once you see this, the fear begins to dissolve. Allow it to come up and out.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Step 3: Transitioning Through Mid-Range States (12 min)

Moving up the scale, we come to desire and craving. What do you desire in your business? What are you chasing or grasping for?

[Pause 10 seconds]

Perhaps it's recognition, a certain income level, a specific client, or a particular achievement. Notice how desire feels in your body – the sense of reaching, wanting, needing something outside yourself to feel complete.

[Pause 10 seconds]

While desire provides more energy than fear, it still creates separation between you and what you want. Feel this energy fully, noticing how it differs from fear but still contains a sense of lack.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Now, moving to anger. What are you angry about in your business or life? What frustrates you or makes you feel rage?

[Pause 10 seconds]

Perhaps it's difficult clients, market conditions, competitors, or your own perceived limitations. Maybe it's systems that don't work or people who don't follow through.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Feel this red-hot energy in your body. Where is it located? Allow it to come up as much as possible while staying calm and observing it. This paradoxical state – feeling anger while remaining calm – helps transform the energy.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Moving up to frustration – a lighter version of anger. What feels restricting or stressful in your business? Where do you feel overwhelmed or stuck?

[Pause 10 seconds]

Perhaps it's technology challenges, marketing that isn't working, team members who aren't performing, or systems that feel constricting.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Feel this energy of complaint and constriction. Notice that while frustration has more energy than fear, it still keeps you focused on problems rather than possibilities.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Now we reach pride – a much higher state than those below, but still limiting. Feel your own pride, your judgmentalism, your sense of being better than others.

[Pause 10 seconds]

In business, pride might appear as looking down on competitors, judging clients who "don't get it," or feeling superior about your approach or achievements.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Notice how pride feels in your body – perhaps a lifted chest, raised chin, or sense of separation from others. While pride has significantly more energy than lower states, it still creates division rather than connection.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Moving up to courage – the first truly positive level and the gateway to improvement. Can you find your brave heart, your willingness to take risks and face fears?

[Pause 10 seconds]

Remember times in your business when you've been courageous – launching something new, having difficult conversations, investing in yourself, or stepping into visibility despite fear.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Feel this energy of courage in your body. Notice how it expands your chest, straightens your posture, and creates a sense of forward movement. This is the first level where real business growth becomes possible.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Step 4: Accessing Higher Energy States (12 min)

Now we move to neutrality – the state of "I'm okay, you're okay, everything is okay." This is acceptance without judgment, seeing things as they are without needing them to be different.

[Pause 10 seconds]

In business, neutrality allows you to assess situations clearly, without emotional distortion. You can look at metrics, feedback, or market conditions and see them accurately rather than through fear or desire.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Feel this state of acceptance and ease. Notice how your body relaxes, your breathing deepens, and your mind clears. From neutrality, you can make decisions based on what is, not what you fear or crave.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Moving up to interest and attention – the first state of success. What fascinates you? What captures your full attention and engagement?

[Pause 10 seconds]

In your business, what aspects naturally draw your interest? Perhaps it's creating new offers, connecting with clients, solving problems, or mastering your craft.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Feel this energy of focused attention in your body. Notice how it creates alertness, curiosity, and engagement. This is the state where learning happens, where you notice opportunities and patterns that others miss.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Now, rising to enthusiasm – the state of passion and excitement. What are you enthusiastic about in your business and life? What fills you with energy just thinking about it?

[Pause 10 seconds]

Perhaps it's the impact you have on clients, the vision of what you're building, or the creative process itself. Maybe it's the freedom entrepreneurship provides or the growth you experience.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Feel this spark, this fire within you. Notice how enthusiasm creates warmth in your chest, lightness in your body, and a natural desire to take action. This state naturally attracts others to you and your business.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Rising higher to appreciation and joy – states of genuine gratitude and delight. What do you deeply appreciate about your business journey? What brings you joy?

[Pause 10 seconds]

Perhaps it's gratitude for your clients, your team, your growth, or the challenges that have shaped you. Maybe it's appreciation for your own courage, persistence, or creativity.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Feel this energy of appreciation in your heart center. Notice how it creates expansion, warmth, and connection. This state is magnetic – it naturally attracts opportunities, resources, and relationships that match its frequency.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Step 5: Experiencing Highest States (10 min)

Now we approach the highest states – peace, unconditional love, and humor. These states transcend ordinary business consciousness and connect you to your highest creative potential.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Imagine that the appreciation you just felt expands beyond specific people or circumstances to encompass all of life – your entire business journey with its ups and downs, your clients and competitors, your successes and failures.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Feel this unconditional positive regard for everything and everyone, including yourself. Notice how this creates profound peace and acceptance, freeing you from the need to control outcomes or prove your worth.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Add to this a sense of humor – the ability to see the lightness and play in all situations. Business challenges become interesting puzzles rather than threats. Mistakes become learning opportunities rather than failures.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Feel this combination of peace, love, and humor in your body. Notice how it creates a profound sense of ease, presence, and clarity. From this state, business decisions flow naturally, creativity abounds, and synchronicities appear regularly.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Now, return to the energy control panel you visualized earlier. Notice that you now have conscious access to this entire spectrum of energy states. You can observe where you are at any moment and intentionally shift to higher levels.

[Pause 10 seconds]

See yourself in various business situations – client meetings, creative work, decision-making, team leadership – operating from these highest states. Notice how differently these situations unfold when you bring this energy to them.

[Pause 15 seconds]

Step 6: Integration and Application (7 min)

As we prepare to complete this practice, let's integrate what you've experienced and prepare to apply it throughout your business day.

[Pause 5 seconds]

First, take a mental snapshot of how you feel right now – the openness, clarity, and elevated energy. This is your natural state when you're operating from higher consciousness.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Now, create a simple physical anchor by gently bringing your thumb and ring finger together on either hand. Hold this position as you take three deep breaths, fully experiencing your current state.

[Pause for 3 deep breaths - approximately 15 seconds]

This gesture becomes a physical reminder – a way to quickly check your energy level and shift to higher states throughout your day. Whenever you notice yourself operating from lower energy, simply touch your thumb and ring finger together, take a breath, and recall this elevated state.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Throughout your day, practice energy awareness by periodically asking yourself: "What energy level am I operating from right now? Is this the most effective state for what I'm doing?"

[Pause 10 seconds]

Remember that different business activities benefit from higher energy states. When you operate from enthusiasm, appreciation, and peace

[Pause 15 seconds]

Set an intention to catch yourself when you drop into lower energy states like fear, anger, or frustration. The sooner you notice these shifts, the easier it is to elevate back to higher consciousness.

[Pause 10 seconds]

Finally, feel gratitude for this new awareness of energy levels and your ability to consciously shift between them. This skill will transform not only how you feel but the results you create in your business and life.

[Pause 15 seconds]
