When you're ready,
I'd like you to lie down somewhere comfortable.
Perhaps it's your bed,
Perhaps it's a mat,
Perhaps it's even in a blanket outside on the ground,
Whatever feels best for you.
Or is going to leave you feeling nourished,
Supported,
Safe,
Held,
And loved.
I want you to gently close your eyes.
Relaxing the space on your forehead.
Relaxing the space in between your eyebrows.
Relaxing and loosening your jaw.
Maybe even releasing your tongue from the roof of your mouth.
I'd like you to pull your head slightly back,
Exposing your throat just slightly.
Moving down into your shoulders.
Bringing our shoulders out of our ears.
And again,
Gently pulling them back,
Rooting them into the ground,
Opening up through that heart center,
Allowing you to receive,
Allowing you to give.
As we expand and gently open up through our heart space and our throat,
Our bodies may want to fight it naturally and constrict,
Protect.
Bringing consciousness here.
What's coming up for you as you gently pull back,
Rooting into the earth,
Expanding through these centers,
Allowing your body,
Creating the physical space for you to receive.
Gift yourself grace here.
Find yourself love and support with whatever's coming up and gently place your left hand over your heart and your right hand comes under your belly.
Keeping that heart space open,
That neck gently exposed,
We're going to move down into our belly,
Keeping it nice and soft.
Taking our first deep breath here,
In through the nose,
Holding ever so slightly at the top.
And let out a sigh with your exhale.
Again in through the nose,
Holding at the top,
Expanding in the belly.
Let out a nice sigh as we exhale.
Once more in through the nose.
Let out your biggest sigh yet.
I want you to shift your attention to the energy within your palms.
Just starting with your left hand over your heart.
Feel the tingling in your palm,
Pulsing through your fingertips,
Maybe pressing a little gently onto that heart space.
A little more,
Gifting yourself this touch,
This energetic exchange between your heart and your hands.
Carrying this feeling throughout the day.
Everything that comes in contact with you today,
The foods you choose to nourish yourself with.
That warm mug of tea,
That beautiful glass of water,
That loving touch as we wash our bodies,
Our face.
Bringing this conscious energy into everything that we do for the rest of our day.
Moving down into your right hand that lays gently over your belly.
Shifting your focus to the energy within your palm.
The tingling in your fingertips.
The softness,
The tenderness of your belly.
This beautiful feminine exchange from palm to belly.
Get to that breath as you gently rise and fall,
As your heart rate lowers,
Your breath slows down.
Gently press both hands a little firmer into your body.
Just giving yourself this sweet embrace,
The beautiful gift of touch.
Surrender and lean in to the feelings that are coming up for you right now.
Breathe into them a little bit deeper.
Hold yourself here.
Nurture yourself here.
Support yourself here.
I'd like you to envision yourself light and airy.
A cloud coming from underneath you,
Lifting you up and bringing you to green rolling hills.
The perfect day in spring.
As the cloud gently sets you down on one of these hilltops,
You are surrounded by wild flowers.
The breeze blows through your hair and gently over your body.
The birds singing their songs of joy in the backgrounds as the sun shines down in through the crown of your head.
Keeping your head gently back,
You gaze up to meet the sunshine.
The warmth washes over your body,
Starting with your face,
Down your shoulders,
Across your chest,
Down your belly,
Your pelvic bones,
Your legs,
Down to your toes,
Your feet completely bare sinking into the ground,
Pulling out,
Sucking out any feelings,
Any emotions that aren't serving you right now.
Focus on the sensation in your feet,
Your toes planted naked into the ground,
All the way through the arch of your foot and into your heel.
Bringing your awareness to this feeling of the earth gently pulling out any emotions that aren't serving you right now and aren't supporting you.
As we walk down the hill,
Down the hill,
And further down the hill,
At the bottom of this hill,
We find a river.
We admire how strong,
How gentle,
How powerful,
How beautiful this river is.
We dip one foot in and realize it's warm,
Warmed from the sunshine.
We strip off any clothes that we have left on and we take one step in and then another until we're fully in the river to a place that feels comfortable.
This stream is gentle enough to just stand,
Go as far in as you'd like,
Maybe that's only to your ankles,
Maybe to your hip bones,
Perhaps all the way up to your shoulders.
As the river washes over your body,
Cleansing any last bit of energy that's no longer serving you,
You ask Mother Nature,
As she supports you,
Ask her to bring to mind what you can do to support her.
What are we here to learn?
How are we here to grow?
When you're ready,
Stepping out of the river,
Finding a spot in the sun at the bottom of this hill,
Lying down in a warm spot.
Reaching back your shoulders,
Rooting them into the ground,
Gently exposing that neck and that heart center.
Letting the warmth of the sun energize you,
Revitalizing your cells,
Filling you with love.
Focus on the sensation of these beautiful healthy cells vibrating from within you,
Energizing you from the inside out,
Supporting your health,
Supporting your happiness,
Supporting your vitality.
Feeling both soft and powerful,
Delicate and strong.
Repeating these affirmations to yourself,
I am loved.
I am energized.
I am supported.
I am nourished.
I am life.
When you're ready,
The cloud from before comes down ever so lightly and so gently,
So safely carries you up the way a mother carries her child to bed.
Turning you back into your room,
Back into your space,
And gently sets you down.
Just here in your space before she leaves you,
That Mother Nature one more time whispers the lesson that you're intended to hear,
To learn,
To grow during this space of hibernation.
Focus on this feeling,
This intention she has set for you.
Feel the energy pulsing through your body right now,
So vital,
So grounded,
So loving,
So energized,
Tingling in your fingertips,
Coursing through your veins with every heartbeat and with every breath.
Come back into that breath.
Come back into your body,
Wiggling your toes,
Stretching your fingers,
Gently opening your eyes when you're ready,
And journaling everything that came through during this time.
