Welcome.
My name is Michelle and I'm so happy you're here today.
For today's meditation we're going to bring awareness to the energy around us.
Our bodies hold energy whether positive or negative.
So today I invite you to breathe into this moment.
Breathing in to the count of three so as to start to quiet the mind's eye.
Breathing in two three and out two three.
In two three out two three.
Using your breath to guide you.
Bring your attention to the base of your skull.
Focus your mind's eye on this point and notice any sensations that occur.
Imagine that sensation begins to travel down your spine slowly as it curls down left and right as slow as molasses.
Noticing your upper back,
Your middle back and your lower back.
Now focus your awareness on the space just at the base of the spine.
Feeling your awareness shift to the energetic space about an inch or two from your body.
Recognizing that energetic space between where your body ends and the world around you begins.
Bringing our breath with us as we go I invite you to send that energy down your left leg past your left foot by about an inch or so.
Noticing any sensation that presents itself in our energetic field.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Sending that energy up through the left leg through the center body all the way up to the crown of your head.
Noticing the sensations just above the top of your head.
Taking note of what is without judgment.
Breathing into this space bring your awareness down through the center of your body through the right leg past the right foot about an inch or so and feel the space between where your body ends and the world around you begins.
There is no judgment.
Only mindfulness.
And if you find your mind has wandered simply bring it back to this moment.
Noticing the ways in which the energy just below your right foot feels a part of you.
Sending your breath there as you breathe in and breathe out.
Sending the light of awareness up through the right leg in the center body to the space above the left shoulder between the left ear and left shoulder.
Notice any sensation breathing into it and being mindful of it.
Recognizing any tension,
Tightness or resistance and sending your breath to this space.
Bringing your awareness now to the other side of the neck and between the space above the right shoulder and below the right ear.
Perhaps noticing any tension or stress or any other sensation.
Breathing in to this space.
We return to the base of the skull and noticing the difference between now and the start of this practice.
Perhaps you feel more centered,
Settled or still.
I invite you to send any unwanted tension or sensations that remain in the body to the place of focus at the base of your skull.
Anything from the day that needs to be released and again tracing the curly line down your spine to its face more quickly than before and breathing in to this place.
As we begin to close today's practice,
Notice how the awareness at the base of your spine melts into the empty space behind you.
No longer yours to hold on to.
Opening your eyes with the gentle kindness extended to yourself for taking this time just for you and knowing that no matter what the rest of the day entails,
Your breath will follow you.
Breathing in,
I feel at peace.
Breathing out,
I embody love.
You
