So just finding a comfortable position.

Seated or laying down,

Whatever feels right for you.

And taking a few deep breaths.

With every inhale,

You're bringing your presence into this body.

Really bringing your awareness into this body.

And doing a body scan.

Bringing your awareness from your head down through your torso and abdomen and pelvis and legs.

Noticing what you feel.

What you feel right here,

Right now,

In the present.

Noticing that you're smiling with gratitude for this body.

This amazing body that goes through all the adventures of life with you.

This body that takes good care of your soul,

Gives a home to your soul.

Welcomes you to be here,

Experiencing life.

Tuning into all of the cells of your body.

Really welcoming them to open up,

Expand.

They're happy and joyful because they know just what they're doing.

They know what nature has asked them to do and be.

And they're so happy to be part of this body.

And you notice the earth beneath you.

Notice where your body is touching the earth.

Feeling the vibrations of the earth.

It's a little bit different from your own vibration.

There's this power in the earth.

The earth has this deep knowing.

It's a vibration of nature.

It's a vibration of Mother Earth.

It's a gathering of support.

The earth is always there to hold you.

It's never gone.

It's always there.

If you fall,

She catches you.

The powerful vibration of nature.

Of nourishment.

And you notice as your body starts to grow roots downward into the earth.

These roots connecting you.

Branching out.

Welcoming your roots to grow deeper and deeper.

And whenever you inhale,

You notice that these roots are receiving the nourishment from the earth.

And bringing it up into your body.

Imagining yourself going for a hike in the mountains.

Walking up these rocks.

These paths through the meadows.

And tuning into that vibration that's coming from the earth.

This deep powerful presence.

That's vibrating with strength.

That's vibrating in this very self-assured way.

The earth knows how to vibrate in all of her different ways.

As the rocks and the grass and the soil.

Vibrating as water.

Wind and fire.

So many different qualities of the earth.

And as you're out in nature,

You tune into all of those qualities.

Every cell in your body connects in with these qualities of earth.

Knowing that there are so many different ways to be.

And none of them is better than the other.

So many ways to flow through this life.

We notice as our focus starts to come up through our bodies all the way up to the crown of your head.

We notice the vibration above us of the cosmos.

As we start to move our attention upward into the universe.

We notice that there's this vast open space.

Endless space.

It seems to be a vacuum.

There's nothing there and yet there's everything there.

Imagining that you're an astronaut up in space.

And you watch as your body floats.

And does somersaults.

And flows and moves.

This feeling of lightness.

This feeling of complete freedom.

And you start to notice that anything is possible up here in the universe.

There's so much space that you can grow and change.

You can switch directions.

You can move in one way or another.

There are infinite possibilities.

Out here in space with this lightness and freedom.

Changes can happen so quickly.

You can manifest in any direction.

And you find that there is so much light in space.

The distant stars.

The sun reflecting off the moon and the planets.

All of this light reflecting and shining.

We realize that we can tap into this light for inspiration.

This light turns us on.

Provides excitement.

Reminds us who we are and what we love to do.

This light inspires joy.

We welcome every cell in your body to connect up with the universe.

And up with the light.

Each of these cells welcome to grow and change and manifest and be inspired.

Bringing that lightness into our being.

And we slowly bring our focus to the heart center.

Noticing the vibration of your heart.

This is you.

It may feel a little bit foreign.

Sometimes we don't remember who we are.

We don't take the time to tune in and feel.

It might feel a little scary.

But right now we just take a few moments to really feel at your heart.

Feel your vibration,

Your essence.

This is the beauty of you.

The uniqueness of you.

It's this place where your physical essence and your infinite divine essence mix together to create you.

And I'm feeling this pain in my heart.

Noticing if you're feeling any pain.

And just say,

I see you.

We notice these protections around your heart.

Protections that have been built over time.

Whenever someone has hurt us.

Whenever we've judged and hurt ourselves.

We just say hello to those protections.

And I see you.

There's a lot of chaos out there in the world around us.

A lot of different people and their vibrations.

What people need from us.

Our own expectations of how we're supposed to show up.

And we listen to the news.

And our heart breaks.

For some of what happens in the world.

The cruelty.

Our hearts feel fear.

So much uncertainty in our hearts.

But as we breathe into our hearts.

We give ourselves a nice hug.

Here at the heart.

This knowing,

This support.

And there's an invitation.

An invitation to trust our center.

An invitation to trust our connection with the universe.

But the universe has got you.

As we stand here in our heart.

We do a trust fall.

We lean backward.

Lean backward in your heart.

Knowing that these open arms in your heart are there to catch you.

To hold you.

As we're letting go of all of this hurt and pain and protection.

We find ourselves held.

Held by your innermost self.

Held by that divine light within you.

Just noticing those open arms in your heart.

And feeling that nourishing hug.

That nourishing hug that says.

I am.

I am perfect.

Exactly as I am.

I am aligned with myself.

I am a divine being.

I am.

Fueled by the universe nourished.

By the earth and the sky.

Visualizing yourself.

As a sponge.

And we place the sponge that you are.

Into the hot tub of the universe.

And you notice that you just start absorbing.

All of this chi.

Absorbing the chi of the earth and the chi of the universe.

This life force.

Continuing to absorb.

To receive.

Every cell in your body open.

To receiving.

The universe has got you.

You are not alone.

You don't have to try so hard.

Trying in this physical body.

To make everything happen.

When we can really just lay back and float.

In this ocean of chi.

Receiving nourishment from all around you.

The earth chi.

It feels a little heavier.

More solid.

Very powerful.

In knowing.

In the manifest.

And the chi of the cosmos.

Flitting and changing.

Bringing in new life.

Expansive.

Fast moving.

Inspirational.

All of this mixing with your physical body chi.

Where we manifest.

The light.

Into the tangible.

Your physical body chi.

Is that catalyst.

That makes the magic happen.

And you feel that spark within you.

That spark of creation.

And it makes you smile.

It makes you smile.

Thinking that you have all of these resources around you.

At your fingertips.

And as you mix them with your heart.

With your essence.

You create magic.

You create anything.

That you can think.

Anything that you can feel.

Anything that you can be.

There's this message.

To get out of our heads.

Get out of our heads.

Where we think logically and plan everything.

Decide exactly what's going to happen.

And how.

And the message is to move into this heart space.

Where we're not quite sure how it's going to happen.

Or what exactly will happen.

But it flows exactly where we are meant to flow.

The ebb and flow.

We don't have to know where we're headed.

We just know what the next step is.

The next step is not the giant leap.

The next step is the easy one.

The one that's right there in front of you.

Easy to take.

And then you do.

Years later you notice that you did take a giant leap.

But it doesn't happen all at once.

We take the little steps to manifest.

And that is how we create greatness.

So we just sit here at our heart center.

Completely present with what is.

What is here now?

And as long as we're grounded.

Supported by the earth.

Held and nourished.

As long as we're connected to the universe.

Infinite possibilities.

Light of inspiration.

As long as we're connected to our hearts.

Connected to our true selves.

To our essence.

To how we feel.

The power to move forward.

With purpose.

In complete alignment.

Just being.
