Today we remember.
So take a moment to find your way into a standing position.
Preferably with no shoes on inside or outside.
And I invite you to begin by just swaying from side to side,
Just to begin to establish that connectivity of mind,
Body,
And spirit.
Just understanding that we are so much more than our thinking minds.
We're so much more than our thoughts.
We're so much more than our bodies.
We're so much more than our breath.
We're all of it.
We're all of it.
We're living,
Breathing beings.
And today we remember.
We dive into this embodiment practice as we begin by just swaying from side to side.
If you feel like adding any other movement with the arms or the legs,
Feel free to do so.
But really,
It's just a gentle invitation to begin to unite.
All that we are.
To remember all that we are.
So you'll continue moving just as you are,
But I want you to bring even more awareness now to your spinal column.
Begin to see if you can move your spine as if it were a wave,
Almost as if your spine itself We're like composed of water.
So you can move it up and down,
Side to side,
Forward,
Backward,
Around in a circle,
Just moving your spine like a wave.
And just really feel into the water element as you feel into the energetics of rippling,
Just rippling the spinal column from the tailbone all the way to the crown of your head.
As if your spine were a literal flowing river.
And just continue moving in this way,
Stimulating a little bit more breath,
Inhaling and exhaling through the nose,
Maybe letting out some sighs through the mouth if you need to.
And just continue moving,
Awakening this river of remembrance that lives within you.
Awakening this river of remembrance as you move your spine.
Breathing in and out.
Really breathing life.
Into this channel,
Into your central energetic channel that is your spine.
And we'll just continue breathing and rippling here for three,
Breathing and rippling for two.
And one,
Start to find neutral.
Pausing here,
Taking a full body breath in.
Completely breathe out.
Another full body breath in.
Completely breathe out.
One more full body breath in.
Completely breathe out.
Now straight away just find yourself right to the ground in a comfortable seat.
Shift from side to side if needed.
You can be on your knees crisscross.
Whatever feels good to you.
Straight away,
When you come into your seat,
Press your fingertips down into the earth.
Long and extended arms.
Fingertips down into the earth.
Take a deep inhale in through the nose,
Filling up completely.
A long and grateful exhale.
This time as you inhale,
Let your arms sweep up high to the sky.
As you exhale,
Comb the air around you and plug the fingers back down into the earth.
And again,
Big,
Deep inhale to swim the arms up to the sky.
Exhale,
Comb the air around you,
Plug those fingers back into the earth.
And I just want you to continue this on your own,
Inhaling the arms up and exhale to plug back into the earth's frequency.
And as you do this action,
I want you to envision and experience the sensation of gathering the memory of who you've always been as you inhale,
Reach it up.
And as you exhale,
Envelop yourself with this remembrance as you plug yourself back into the earth from which you came.
So you inhale,
Gather up the remembrance of who you've always been,
Reaching the arms up.
And exhale,
You comb the air and envelop yourself with this remembrance,
With this energy as you plug your fingers back into the earth from which you came.
We'll do this sweeping action as we focus on remembering three more times.
Following your beautiful breath.
Good,
And one more time here.
And the next time your fingers are lightly touching the earth,
You'll pause again to feel the earth's frequency.
Knowing that any time you feel like you need to reconnect and remember,
You could really just come to this space.
Where you feel the ground beneath you.
Take another slow breath in.
And a grounding breath out.
And the last thing for today is you'll make light fists with both of your hands.
And I want you to bring the fist right up to your forehead.
So the soft part of the knuckles and just start to kind of knock on your forehead with both of your hands,
Knocking,
Kind of drumming with your fists onto your skull,
Your forehead,
Your skull,
Maybe even your face,
But really focused on the region of the brain.
Really focus on the region of the brain and just kind of knocking at the brain's door right now.
Just knocking,
Playing the drums on the brain right here and now.
And as you're knocking on the brain,
I just want you to almost envision like you're cracking something open.
You're cracking up any stickiness,
Any stagnation that could potentially be holding you back from remembering.
Any thoughts or memories or beliefs that are no longer serving you,
Just cracking them open,
Letting them shatter right here.
And now I'm just like broken glass,
Just letting it all shatter,
Shattering,
Shattering,
Shattering,
Shattering the stagnation,
Inviting more pliability and flexibility to the magic that is your brain.
Just keep knocking.
It's light.
It doesn't have to be hard.
It's light.
A little goes a long way here.
Just keep knocking.
Rhythmically tapping here for five.
Breathing and tapping for four.
Three.
Two.
And one release.
Placing one hand over your heart.
And the other hand over that one.
Remembering your center.
Coming back home to your center.
Taking another deep inhale.
And fully exhale.
Taking another deep inhale.
And fully exhale.
As you repeat this mantra,
I remember my truth.
I remember why I'm here.
I remember who I am and who I came here to be.
I remember my truth.
I remember why I'm here.
I remember who I came here to be.
Another deep breath in.
Fully breathe out.
As we close in prayer,
Dear God,
Sweet universe,
All that is,
Please illuminate the truth of my heart and the reality of my soul like never before today.
Help me to remember who I am,
Why I'm here,
And who I came here to be.
May my desires,
Thoughts,
Words,
And actions be rooted in this remembrance.
And so it is.
