Welcome to Day 4 of Radiance.
Take a seat.
Close your eyes.
And begin to follow the flow of your breath.
In and out of your body.
And as you breathe in,
Just feel your body gently expanding outward in all directions.
And as you breathe out Let your whole body do it.
Release a little bit.
Let go a little bit.
Maybe become a little heavier.
And then zoom in on your ribcage.
Knowing that you have two lungs within your ribcage.
I want you to zoom in on the breath now flowing into your lungs and out of your lungs.
And positioned between the two lungs is your heart.
And this beautiful rib cage.
Wraps it all up.
So take one or both of your hands and rest them over the front of your chest.
And just get to know your ribcage with your hands.
So you could press your fingers into your chest to start and to see if you can find the bones,
The ribs underneath your hands.
And you could also do the same by reaching maybe around the sides of your upper torso,
Feeling for this bony rib cage.
And as you're connecting with your ribcage,
Notice your breath.
And then just going a little deeper so you could keep your hands on your ribcage.
Maybe you found a really good spot,
Like hugging.
The lower ribs?
On the sides of your upper torso or maybe your hands are resting over the top of your ribcage.
By your collarbones or your shoulders.
There's no wrong way to do this.
You get curious and be intuitive and just let your hands orient to your ribcage.
But we want to go a little deeper,
Back to.
.
.
What's inside the ribcage,
Your lungs and your heart.
Feeling that breath again flowing in to the lungs and out of the lungs.
And even if you can't feel it precisely,
Maybe you can imagine it or maybe you can visualize it happening inside of your ribcage,
This movement of the lungs.
And how the lungs are really.
Massaging the heart?
Each time you breathe in and each time you breathe out.
And then I want you to exaggerate whatever you're sensing or even visualizing or imagining with your mind's eye.
I want you to exaggerate the movement.
Physically.
So as you inhale,
Maybe you feel your chest expand and you lift your chest and you draw the shoulders back a little bit.
And then as you exhale,
Maybe your shoulders drop forward and down,
Your upper back rounds.
And your chest softens and releases.
Breathing in again,
Following the natural movement of your breath and your lungs,
Your heart could expand your chest.
Shoulders draw back exhale relax your chest let your shoulders draw a little bit forward and just move with your breath in this way Again,
Exaggerating.
What's happening on the inside with your lungs.
Exaggerating that movement through the ribcage and even into the shoulders and the arms.
And after you've taken a few rounds,
Of that.
You can let your body come into a still place and just let your ribcage,
Your heart and your lungs organize.
In relationship to your spine.
Your head,
Your belly.
To the rest of your body.
How does your heart want to be centered in relationship to the rest of your body?
And then let your right hand come to rest over your heart.
And tune in to the muscle of your heart.
Your heart is so strong.
It is a life-giving organ and a muscle.
Listen to… your heart beating.
Feel your heart beating.
This is the pulse of life inside of you.
As it pulses you,
Your body,
Become enlivened.
And this aliveness.
Becomes energetic radiance.
You shine by fully embracing your aliveness through your body.
So breathe in and feel your own radiance,
Feel how you are glowing from the inside out.
And your heart may very well be where.
.
.
This shine,
This radiance.
Begins where it comes from.
And your heart,
I guarantee,
Has messages for you.
So connect,
Connect with your heart,
Sync up with your heart,
Allow there to be an open channel of communication between your heart and your head.
And your heart.
And the rest of your body.
And carry this with you into the rest of your day.
Let's take one last deep breath in.
And out.
Noticing your whole body,
How your whole body feels from today's practice.
Thank you for joining me.
And I look forward to tomorrow's session.
Have a beautiful rest of your day.
