Hello,
Welcome.
Today we're simply taking time to ground and center with an energy healing sit.
To come back into the body and come back into the breath.
And back into the present moment.
So much of the nervous system spends its time anticipating,
Bracing,
And thinking ahead,
Or staying connected to everything around us.
And over time,
That can pull us away from ourselves.
So for the next 20 minutes or so,
There is nowhere to get to.
Nothing to solve and nothing to perform.
Just an opportunity to slow down and allow the system to settle and to ground and center.
So let's get started.
Close your eyes And we'll start with some deep breaths.
So take a deep breath into your head,
Into your brain.
Big exhale.
Deep breath into your chest,
Into your heart space.
Big exhale.
Deep breath into the belly.
Big exhale.
On a deep breath into the pelvis,
Into the hips.
Big exhale.
Exhale all the way down your legs,
Through the bottom of your feet.
And ground yourself into Mother Earth.
And turn your attention inward.
Establish the witness.
And try to find that space of neutrality within.
And just relax your shoulders.
Relax your neck.
Relax your jaw.
Relax your face muscles.
And relax your head.
And just settle in and let go as best you can.
And remember to use your breath as best you can all during the sit.
And now bring your attention gently to your root chakra.
The base of your spine.
Perineum.
And just visualize or otherwise imagine the grounding cord from your root chakra.
Going down into Mother Earth.
We'll just take a few more deep breaths and on the exhale just imagine that grounding cord going deeper and deeper into the earth.
Beautiful.
And now just continue breathing gently.
No need to control the breath.
No need to force relaxation.
Just allowing the body to begin settling in its own time.
And now bring your attention back to the root chakra.
Base of your spine,
And if you notice your thoughts veering off during today's sit,
That's very normal.
Just bring your attention back to the root.
This is the place that is connected to grounding.
To stability.
And support and safety.
And presence in the physical body.
And just notice.
What happens when awareness remains here?
Not rushing upwards.
Not being pulled into thought.
Just staying.
You may notice the mind wanting to move.
Wanting to think or.
.
.
Analyze,
Wander.
Plan or scan.
That's okay.
Gently return to the root.
Again and again.
Back to the body.
Back to the room.
Back to the present moment.
And with each breath,
Just relax.
Allow the body to soften just a little bit more.
Allow the nervous system to Begin recognizing there is nowhere to get to right now.
Nothing to solve.
Nothing to perform.
And nothing required of you in this present moment.
And sometimes that alone can feel unfamiliar to the system.
Because so many of us learn to.
.
.
Stay activated.
To stay ahead.
To stay alert.
And to stay prepared.
So for now,
Just notice what it feels like.
To not need to.
Brace against the moment.
Just imagine the body becoming more heavier.
More supported.
And more connected to the earth beneath you.
As if the body is.
Slowly remembering.
I am allowed to be here.
And just breathe there.
Beautiful.
And now gently bringing awareness to the legs.
It's a sign.
The knee.
The calves.
The ankles.
And defeats.
Just imagine the body becoming rooted.
At the roots of a tree extending downward into the earth.
Steady.
Support it.
With each exhale just allowing anything unnecessary to go.
Move downward.
Any excess tension.
Mental noise.
Emotional heaviness.
Overthinking.
Urgency and just letting it move downwards.
Through the grounding core.
Into the Earth.
And there's no need to force release,
No need to push anything out.
Just allowing the body to begin settling.
And some of you be.
May begin to nodal subtle shifts already.
Perhaps warmth or heaviness.
Emotion.
Tingling.
Stillness.
Or perhaps simply a quieter internal space.
When all experiences are welcome.
And now just gently notice the.
.
.
Difference between thinking about grounding and actually allowing the body to ground.
Because grounding is not an idea.
And experience.
The nervous system beginning to recognize support.
Just continue breathing softly.
And now gently bring a wing awareness toward the center of your body.
Not upward into thought but inward.
Toward the center of your own experience.
And just notice how often awareness moves outward.
Toward other people and experience.
Responsibility.
And monitoring the environment.
Trying to.
Anticipate what's next.
And for now,
Nothing outside of you needs your attention.
Just this breath.
Body.
In this moment.
And as awareness moves inward,
You may begin noticing how much energy has been scattered.
Pull that word.
Fragmented by thinking and doing.
Holding and managing.
And now the system is slowly gathering itself back together.
Not through force.
But through presence.
And just visualize or otherwise imagine all of your energy just Gently returning back to center.
Back into the body.
Back into your own space.
And back into yourself.
There can be something deeply healing about it.
No longer reaching outward for her.
Just a few moments Just breathing.
Resting.
And just allowing yourself to fully occupy your own body.
And if any emotions arise or any thoughts arise,
We will welcome them.
You will give them a safe space to land.
And just simply notice them.
Without needing to change them.
Without needing to follow them.
Because grounding is not the absence of thought.
Centering is not the absence of feeling.
Is the ability to remain present with yourself.
Without leaving.
And just breathe there Beautiful.
Now gently begin noticing the space around your body.
The field surrounding you.
In the subtle sense of presence.
Energy.
Aliveness.
Extending beyond the physical form.
And notice even here that you are grounded.
Still connected.
And still centered.
Allow the body.
Nervous system.
And the field around you too.
Settle together.
And to greater coherence.
Greater stillness.
And greater support.
Beautiful.
And if you've drifted off,
Start to come back gently.
Take a deep breath into the chest,
Into the heart space.
Big exhale.
Deep breath into the belly.
Big exhale.
And a deep breath into the pelvis,
Into the hips.
Big exhale,
Exhale all the way down your legs to the bottom of your feet into the earth.
Just slowly open your eyes,
Come back to the space.
Beautiful.
Thank you so much for being here with me today,
And I hope you have a great rest of your day.
Namaste.
