This is the first of a five-part series to recalibrate our systems. Sometimes in life, We become disconnected from ourselves. We move between responsibilities and obligations. Getting pulled in different directions and forget or don't take time to recalibrate our system so that we lead our days from a place of centered alignment and inner truth. That's what this meditation series is designed to support. Each week a recalibration of a different system of the body, Your mental, Physical, Energetic, Emotional, And spiritual aspects of self. For many of us, This process is best supported by spaciousness. Spaciousness in our minds, Letting go of excess thoughts. Spaciousness in our bodies. Softening the places we hold tension and unconscious tightness. Spaciousness in our energy. Repairing and restoring our energy levels. Spaciousness in our hearts. Tending to our emotions instead of suppressing or letting them run wild. And spaciousness in our spirit, Receiving insight from a higher power or our higher selves. In this meditation and in the meditations that come in the weeks to follow, I'll guide you in a gentle process that helps cultivate this space, Bringing a natural recalibration to the interior by tending to our mental, Physical, Energetic, Emotional, And spiritual selves. To take time to settle. You can sit or lie down, But get comfortable and come fully into this present moment. You are here, Now. Let go of whatever came before. And know that whatever is coming after, You'll return to it. Allow yourself to fully be here. We begin by connecting to the above and below. We join with the grounding matter of Earth by imagining a cord of light from the base of our spine traveling down to the center of the Earth. Feel it until you can sense that connection with Mother Earth. And then feel that earth energy traveling back up into your body. Offering support. And rest in that space. And next, We align to the expansive energies of the cosmos by imagining that cord of light traveling up the spine, Up through the crown of our heads, And up into the cosmos. This universal energy. Connect with it. And feel it traveling back down into your body. Offering support. And possibility. Rest in this space. Where you are howl. Intended to. By the above and by the below. And here we will begin. The process of mental restoration. Bringing spaciousness into the mind. For the monkey mind. Those repeated thoughts. Those worries or concerns. That random to-do or idea that pops in. Whatever is present. Recurring Frequent in your mental body Imagine it now each as its own little bubble. Maybe there are a few. Or maybe there are many. It doesn't matter. See them all now. Each little thought bubble floating around. See them outside of your body, The bubbles out. Into the space around you. Out of your brain. Floating along. And we're going to send those thought bubbles either into the earth. Or up into space via that cord of light. That we connected to at the beginning of the meditation. You get to decide which direction. Down into the earth. Or up. Into the cosmos. If you don't know, Just see which one you feel most drawn to. You can choose that. And imagine all of those little thought bubbles. Traveling via that cord of light. Like it's a super speed highway. If you decided to send them down into the earth, See them being received by the earth. Or if you imagine them going up into the cosmos, See those thought bubbles being received by a star or the sun or the moon, Whatever feels appropriate to you. Each of those bodies, Those planetary bodies. They know how to receive it and they know how to take it for you. So you don't have to carry it all alone. If there's any thought bubbles remaining, Just send them on down or on up. Through that cord of light until you're clear, Till the space around you is clear. Notice that spaciousness in your mind. Even if it's just a little lighter. Feel what it feels like. Be clear. And open. And free. I hope that did you. Just enjoy that space and if a thought pops in. Just send it back through that highway of light for the Earth or the cosmos to tend to on your behalf. And from this clean slate. Imagine your mind filling with light. A bright, Cleansing, Clearing, Renewing light. That restores your mental capacities. Bringing relief. Imagine it getting brighter and brighter. And notice how that feels. The clearing, The cleansing. More clarity and sharpness and focus and tranquility feel like in your mind. Maybe it's simply what quiet feels like. Rest in this space. Calm. Clear. Free course years. Feel these qualities. Your mental body. And rest in this freshly calibrated space. And you're welcome to stay here as long as it feels good. Rewarding and nourishing and supportive to you. Can pause the meditation. Continue to rest in this space. Otherwise. Begin to sense into the sensations of your body. Perhaps how it feels to let go. Feel your tongue in your mouth. Artist wallow. We're going to take a deep breath in. Maybe it's beginning to move gently some parts of your body. As you awaken and return. Whenever you feel ready. You can bat those eyes open. And return to your day. May it be blessed.
