Let your heart sing is what I heard today.
Lift the weighted blanket that lays so heavy on the heart.
Expectations,
Pressures,
Lists,
Work.
Is this what I worried about as a child?
Living with lightness and curiosity is what I crave.
Why,
As the years pass,
The weighted blanket gets heavier and heavier.
Let the heart sing is what I felt strongly in my heart.
The whisper in my ear,
The butterfly in my stomach,
The light that shines so brightly over me.
At this moment,
I felt the love in my heart.
And a lift of what felt so heavy.
Make yourself very comfortable.
Either sitting upright or laying down.
Take a moment and settle into your space.
Softly close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through the nose,
With the rise of the belly,
And a long exhale out the mouth.
Again,
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Imagine the breath,
A calming tide coming in and out of the shore.
Take notice of any sensations that may show up throughout the body.
No judgment,
Just take notice.
With each breath,
Feel the body soften a little bit more each time.
Starting with the eyes,
The jaw,
The neck,
Shoulders,
Arms,
Hips,
Down the legs,
And into the feet.
Feel the ground beneath you,
Lovingly holding you still.
As you inhale,
Invite the breath to move in and fill your entire body with light.
And as you exhale,
Imagine this light spreading into every cell,
Muscle,
And organ throughout the body.
Take those thoughts and move light into them as if your heart is taking a deep breath.
Imagine your breath moving in and out of your heart,
While a soft watercolor of green and pink wash over this space.
Now picture a large golden light above you.
Like the sun shining above the head.
Feel the warmth on the skin as though it's a hot summer day.
As you feel this warmth,
Visualize the feet planted on the ground.
This may be your backyard,
In the warm sand on the beach,
Or in the forest surrounded by trees.
Wrap this golden light around you as if it is a large blanket giving a beautiful and comforting hug.
As you sit in this warm light,
Allow the heart to open and expand.
Notice the heaviness of the weighted blanket lift and dissolve into this golden light.
Exhale and release all that doesn't serve your highest good.
Feel this go down the body and into the earth.
Now fill the space with what ignites your soul.
What times have you been immersed with gratitude?
The pure beauty in all those simple minutes that pass us by.
A beautiful and colorful sunset or sunrise?
Eating a nourishing meal surrounded by friends and family.
A flower in full bloom.
Smiling at a stranger or them smiling at you.
A morning plunge in the ocean.
Stillness.
What is it that makes your heart sing?
Completely letting go of all expectations and listening to your inner voice?
Play and sing as you did as a child.
Forgiveness.
Dance.
Live.
Live in full expression of self.
Release and love with a full heart and fill the lyrics of what it wants to say.
Now come back to this space around you.
Place one hand on the heart and one on the stomach.
Take some deep breaths here.
Start to take notice of the noises around you.
Wiggle the toes.
Move the fingers.
Softly open your eyes.
Sending you all so much love and light from my heart to yours.
