We always have a choice.
A choice to stay or go.
A choice to move quickly or take pause.
I'm glad you chose to be here today.
I'm Lynette Haunani.
Aloha and welcome,
Friend.
Come,
Sit with me,
And let's begin.
Find a comfortable position,
Whatever shape that is for you today.
Palms can be resting at your side or on your knees,
Facing up or down.
The choice is yours.
Eyes can be closed or a soft gaze.
Take a deep inhale.
Feeling your lungs.
Now slowly exhale.
Completely emptying them.
Now once again.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Keeping a comfortable smooth rhythm and allowing yourself to relax into this moment of awareness.
Today is a good day.
Today is even a magical day.
You can choose to make today whatever you need it to be.
And it's not a difficult thing,
Really.
No matter what is going on around us,
We always have a choice.
Keeping our breath steady,
Let's start to bring awareness to the top of your head.
Relaxing your forehead.
Relaxing your eyebrows.
And your eye muscles soften.
Notice the tongue on the roof of your mouth and your jaw.
Don't force it.
Just allow space.
With an inhale.
In the next two.
Now move down your neck.
To your shoulders.
Notice your back muscles.
Relaxed and learning.
Your arms.
Moving your awareness down to your wrist.
Your hands.
With fingers.
Just relax.
You can inhale here.
And on the exhale,
Feel lightness in your chest.
Bringing your awareness now to your belly.
And your hips.
Relaxing your legs.
And ankles.
Your feet and toes.
You relax now from the top of your head to the soles of your feet.
Let's bring some awareness back to your breath.
With a deep inhale through the nose,
Completely filling your lungs.
Expanding your belly muscles.
Now pause at the top of your breath just for a few seconds.
Now make an audible exhale through your mouth.
A completely empty new one.
Let's do this one more time together.
In through the nose,
Fold at the top.
And out through the mouth.
Now let your breath come easy and even.
Comfortable at your own body's pace.
If your eyes still close or a soft gaze.
Repeat.
Either out loud or silently,
After me.
I am safe.
Allow yourself to feel it.
And rest into the safe space.
Just breathe.
Bringing awareness now to your body with eyes still closed.
Notice the space around you.
The sounds.
Notice the ground below you,
Whether you're inside or out,
It doesn't matter.
Feel the surface,
How it supports your body.
And rest into that safety.
Know with your imagination.
Feel the connection to the Earth's grounding energy.
You can visualize the grass.
The soil.
How moist it is.
Imagine some water flowing deep beneath the earth.
And expand that awareness even further.
Feel the energy of a nearby tree.
Feel the truth.
As it flows gently in the breeze.
In and among you.
Hold.
And exhale.
You are safe.
Allowing your consciousness now.
To go even further.
Perhaps to the mountains.
Or imagine the ocean.
Bowling if you want.
You can stay right here.
It's your choice.
Now let's pause in your travels.
And slowly allow yourself to notice.
And feel the earth's ancient life force energy.
It completely surrounds you.
It holds you.
It loves you.
You are safe in this energy.
Still breathing easy and calm and at your own pace.
Return the awareness back to your body.
Feel your chest rise.
Now on the exhale.
Wiggle your fingers.
Maybe your toes.
In this space.
You are calm.
And joyful.
You are content with your life in this moment.
There's no place you need to be but right here.
We have been given a gift,
Our imagination.
And we can remind ourselves that if we need hope we can always choose to take it.
With a simple deep inhale.
And slow exhale,
We can always access this grounding energy.
You can choose calm and come back to yourself.
For the safe space whenever you need it.
Each day is a good day.
And I hope to visit with you again sometime soon,
My friend.
Namaste Sweet One.
Emalem Poynem.
Take Care.
Always.
