About this session
- Builds self-assurance
- Grows self-acceptance
- Eases social nerves
- Lifts your mood
Agapi Stassinopoulos opens with a golden light running from the crown of your head to your feet, clearing and sharpening your energy. Then you scan the parts of life where you'd like more ease, from work to relationships, and repeat affirmations such as "I am enough in who I am."
It's a good fit before a meeting, a social event or any first-time situation, and a steady way to begin a morning or reset at midday. Come back to it whenever you want to feel more settled in yourself before you step out and meet people.

Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the golden light for?
It begins at the top of your head and moves down through your body to your feet. The meditation describes it as clearing your energy and making everything feel clear, strong and sharp. It's your starting point before you look at your life.
How does this meditation define confidence?
Not as having every answer. It says confidence is a good sense of yourself as you are: relaxed enough to hear your inner guidance, free to express yourself or stay silent, and joyful without fear of mistakes. Above all, it's being at home with who you are.
Why am I asked to look at what makes me feel less confident?
After picturing yourself at work, at home, in relationships and at social or professional events, you notice where you'd like to feel more assured. Looking at those areas calmly lets you meet them with the affirmations that follow, rather than avoiding them.
What affirmations does it use?
It starts with "I am enough in who I am. I don't have to be anything else." Later come "I am safe. I am protected to be who I am," "I love myself exactly as I am," and "I interact with ease." You also say that you walk into new situations with a sense that you belong.
What does the image of walking grounded and contained mean?
You picture yourself walking expanded but steady, not giving your power or energy away to anyone. You project self-assurance without overextending or proving yourself, radiating from the inside out. It's a useful image to recall before entering a new room.
What is the breath and shoulder shake at the end?
You inhale fully, exhale with an audible "ah," open your arms and shake your shoulders. The meditation says you don't have to carry unnecessary burdens, so it's a physical release before you open your eyes and return to your day.
