Welcome to the second meditation in recalibration, A five-part series inviting spaciousness within and a return to sacred centered alignment and inner truth. Today we turn toward the physical body, Softening the places where we hold tension and unconscious tightness and making space to feel and listen within. This is an invitation to slow down. Tend to your body with gentleness and allow yourself to settle more fully into its presence. Settle into this time and space. You can sit or lie down. Get comfortable Move those shoulders or hips, Fidget or stretch if you need to and fully arrive. You are here, Now. Let go of what came before and know that whatever is coming after, You'll return to. And allow yourself to just fully land. We begin by connecting to the above and below. Joining with the grounding matter of Earth by imagining a cord of light from the base of the spine traveling down to the center of the Earth. And you feel that earth energy traveling back up into your body, Offering support. And then we align to the expansive energies of the cosmos by imagining that cord of light traveling up through the crown of your head. Up into space. And that universal energy travels back down into your body. Offering possibility. Rest into this space where you are held and supported by the above and the below. And we'll move to a body scan now, Starting with the crown of your head. And as you scan down your face and your head. Notice if there are any places with pain or tension. Holding or gripping. And just bring awareness into those spaces. As you continue scanning down to your neck. And shoulders. Down your back and spine. Down your chest and abdomen. Down your arms and hands and fingers. And as you scan, Just notice any places that might be tight. And allow them to soften. And then scan your hips and your pelvis. Down your legs, Thighs, And hamstrings to your knees. Calves and shins. And your ankles, Feet, And toes. For any of those spaces that you noticed, Just acknowledge them and say, Hi, I see you. I feel you. And allow those places and spaces to soften. This acknowledgement and attention lets your body know that you're listening to it. And then scan again, This time more of a sweep. And notice what places remain lit up with tension. And as you sweep, Just invite the breath to bring more spaciousness into those places. Invite the breath to assist you in softening, Relaxing, Melting further still. And from this softer, More open place. Imagine your body filling with golden light. Again, Beginning with the crown of your head, Imagine that golden light. Feeling your body from your head. To the tips of your toes. Bathing in this beautiful golden ray of light. You see your cells in your body filled with this golden light. All of those cells are relaxing. Easy. Healing Restoring. Getting stronger and healthier. Supercharged in this light. Make sure more room around and between yourselves. More and more space. More and more golden light. Then bless yourselves. Send them good vibes. Whatever feels right, But send them gratitude. For everything they do day in and day out to keep the wonder of your body going. Working together in harmony. Always for your best good. Thank you, Sal's. Allow your body to rest as long as you want. In this recalibrated space. And this light being restored.
