Hey there,
Welcome to a hit of hope.
Have you ever had that kind of energy where you are exhausted?
And restless all at the same time.
You feel like you can't do one more thing.
But then as soon as you sit down.
.
.
All you are doing is buzzing inside.
And you pop back up.
And you wander,
Or you wonder.
How can I calm my mind?
How can I find some stillness?
Some clarity.
It can be exhausting living like a snow globe all shook up.
And nowhere to go.
So for this practice.
We're going to meet that energy.
And say hey.
I see you.
Because a lot of times I find.
What's going on inside just wants to be acknowledged.
Not ignore.
Not pushed past,
Not shoved down.
It's there.
And it's waiting for us to see.
It's there.
How about we?
Feel.
Our face.
Are there any places there where we're just gripping?
That there's tension holding.
Maybe it's more in our neck.
Our shoulders.
Maybe it's that belly that's pulled up and in all tight,
Kind of like a rubber band ready to spring.
Or maybe it's our hands,
Our legs.
They just don't know how to stop.
Moving.
And.
.
.
We breathe.
Maybe that brings stress.
Maybe that fuels the restlessness inside.
And it is.
We don't have to get it perfect.
I think that's part of what drives this relentlessness inside.
Gotta do it right.
We just need to be.
Right here.
Right now.
And maybe you can bring a little more ease to your jaw.
Your mouth,
Your shoulders.
Perhaps you can make that inhale just a bit longer.
And let that exhale be just a little.
Sweeter.
I've said it before,
Meditation doesn't solve everything.
And For me,
It shifts things.
I go from being a dust devil to a still pond.
Drop.
Down into this body of yours.
Breathe deep.
Into your belly.
Bring a softness to your eyes,
Your jaw.
Let there be this good.
Wait to you.
You're grounded.
And we can drop.
From the storm in our heads.
To the space.
In our center.
Let me breathe in.
When we breathe out.
Maybe feel this low spreading.
Of ease.
Like you are finally landing.
Brooding.
And present.
Breath in.
Breath out.
Gently holding this moment.
It's okay to be here.
It's okay to go in.
The center down.
To feel.
Connected.
To body.
Body to earth.
Here.
Present.
Center.
May you.
Live light.
And shine.
