Greetings and blessings,
Beloved soul.
Thank you for joining us in this practice,
This opportunity to release,
This opportunity to restore,
This opportunity to regulate.
With all that is going on in the world today,
There is even more,
So much more going on within ourselves.
Our minds are responding to the rapid changes,
Our hearts are responding to the chaos,
And our bodies are quietly responding to the confusion.
Now is the perfect time to be still.
As you settle into this practice,
Allow yourself to be here,
Now.
Place the world behind you,
Your responsibilities,
Your roles,
And all of your decisions.
Release them.
You are the kingdom of God.
Bring your awareness to your body.
Gently breathe into your body.
Breathe out as your body softens.
Breathe awareness into your body.
Breathe out as the body softens.
You are breathing awareness.
Now,
Bringing your awareness back to your body,
Scanning up from your toes,
Your shins,
And calf muscles.
Resting your awareness at your knees,
Breathe here and allow the body to soften.
Exhale,
Release,
And let it all go.
Inhale,
Continue to scan up your hamstrings and thighs,
Your lower back and shoulders.
Exhale,
Release from your shoulders,
Down.
Relaxing your neck,
Unclenching your jaw,
Softening your throat,
Softening all the muscles in your face,
Relaxing the back of your head.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Rest here.
You are the kingdom of God.
