Welcome.
I'm Jocelyn.
This is the fourth in a series of body scans that you can pick up at any time just to bring a little bit of presence to your body.
To begin trust in your body.
To begin the conversation with your body.
It's not meant to bring judgment or shame or blame but rather to build discernment and acceptance in the moment and to begin listening to the body.
This body scan is with the chakra system.
So wherever you are,
You might be sitting at home or at a desk or in a car,
You don't have to be laying down.
Wherever you are just close your eyes and bring your attention inward to your breath.
Just witnessing the rise and fall of the inhale and exhale across your body.
You don't have to deepen it.
You don't have to manipulate it.
We're practicing just witnessing for just a second.
I'm going to walk your awareness across all of the chakras.
We'll be adding in the bottoms of the feet and the palms of the hands and as we walk through each chakra might you just be open to whatever sensations are present without judgment only witnessing.
We'll begin with the bottoms of both feet.
Bringing your awareness to the bottoms of both feet.
What sensations are present here as you allow your awareness to spread across the bottoms of both of your feet.
Our connection to the earth,
To the ground beneath us.
What sensations are present here.
Allowing your awareness to walk upward toward the root chakra at the base of the tailbone.
A place of security and safety.
A place of groundedness.
What sensations are present here.
Emotionally,
Physically,
Energetically.
What is present here for you.
Allowing your awareness to move upward toward the sacral chakra,
The lower belly.
This is a chakra of creativity,
Of sexuality.
It's a chakra of gut instincts.
Bringing your awareness across all of the sacral chakra.
What sensations are present for you.
Inviting your awareness to move upward to the solar plexus chakra,
The navel center.
This is an energy center.
Noticing what sensations are present here at the solar plexus chakra.
Emotionally,
Physically,
Energetically.
What do you sense here at the solar plexus chakra.
Allowing your awareness to travel upward toward the heart center,
The heart chakra at the center of the chest.
As you bring your awareness to the heart chakra,
What sensations are present for you here.
There is no judgment,
No shame,
And no blame.
This is only about witnessing,
Discerning,
And accepting in the moment what sensations are present.
Allowing your awareness to gently travel to the palms of both hands.
What sensations are present in the palms of both hands.
Inviting your awareness up to the throat chakra,
The center of the throat.
The place of our voice.
What sensations are present here at the center of the throat today,
Right now.
Inviting your awareness up to your Ajna,
The third eye chakra,
The place of the pineal gland.
What sensations are present at the third eye chakra.
One of intuition,
Vision.
What is present emotionally,
Physically,
Energetically,
Here at the third eye.
Inviting your awareness to the crown chakra at the top of the head,
The center of the top of the head.
What do you experience here?
What sensations are present for you at the top of your head,
The crown chakra.
The divine connection.
And just for a minute,
Allow your awareness to travel up and down through all chakras and see if there's a sensation when you begin to allow into your awareness all of the chakras.
Do you begin to have any emotional sensations or physical sensations,
Energetic sensations?
And simply bringing in a deep inhale through the nose,
Opening the mouth and sighing out.
Bringing a little gratitude for being present with you,
With your body,
With your chakras,
In a non-judgmental way,
Witnessing,
Developing trust and beginning the conversation with your body.
Namaste.
