Hello dear one, This practice is an invitation to gently wake up the body through movement to soften tension, Release excess energy, And reconnect with the natural movement that already lives inside you. Begin standing if that feels available to you or sitting with both feet grounded on the floor Take a moment to notice your body exactly as it is today. No judgment. No need to change anything. Take a slow breath in and a long breath out Again, Breathing in softly And slowly releasing. Outfits available to you Gently begin shaking out one hand Small movements at first. Loose and easy. Like shaking water from the fingertips. If it feels good, Allow the movement to travel into the wrist. The forearm the elbow. The shoulder. Nothing forced. Just letting the body move naturally staying here for a few moments Gently shaking out this arm. I'll gently bring this movement to a close Taking a deep breath in And exhale. And just notice the sensations through that arm may be warm. Buzzing, Tingling, Aliveness. Allowing whatever is here to be here. Now switch sides bringing small movements into your fingertips into the whole hand letting it travel up through your wrist your forearms Letting it be loose, Soft, And free. Moving up through the elbow and the shoulder staying here, Letting this movement move through as big or as small as it needs to be Sometimes the body holds on to stress simply because it has not had a chance to move it through. So today we are allowing a little movement, A little release Gently releasing this movement from this arm. Taking a deep breath in And a deep breath out. Now ever so gently. Start to gently and slowly tap your hands along your arms not hard, Just simply allowing a little bit of awakening through your arms moving through your lower arms your upper arms your shoulders just gently tapping moving through your chest down your belly. To your legs Tapping your upper legs your lower legs. Slowly waking up sensation in the body Not hard. Just enough to feel contact Feel free to move this tapping up and down your body as it feels good to you. Wherever you feel that it would be supportive. At whatever speed feels good and staying here for a few moments, Continuing to breathe. Gently releasing this tapping allowing your body to come to stillness Taking a deep breath in and a deep breath out if it feels supportive. Begin a gentle bounce through the knees, Very small. Allowing the heels to lightly press into the floor Allowing the body to bob softly up and down Feel the movement traveling through the body. The looseness. The rhythm. The support beneath your feet You do not need to perform this movement perfectly. There's no right way for your body to move here. Just allowing sensation, Allowing breath, Allowing release staying here gently bouncing through your legs when you're ready. Slowly come back to stillness. If it feels good, Placing one hand on your heart and one on your belly or wherever else feels most supportive. Notice what is moving inside the body now. Your heartbeat your breath your energy beneath your skin Taking one final slow inhale And a long exhale out. Feel your feet grounded beneath you Feel your body awake and supported and ever so gently bring your awareness back to the space you're in. And softly move into your day Thank you for moving today. Thank yourself for moving today. And I'll meet you again soon, Dear one.
