You can settle in however you'd like to.
If it feels right,
You can allow the eyes to close.
And along with the closing of the eyes,
Allowing the whole body to release and open,
You find a stable but soft position,
Sort of like a flower that is rooted in the ground,
Firm,
Stable,
But also flexible,
Open,
Reaching up and out to receive the energy of the sun,
Of the present moment,
The energy of right now.
Can allow your face to relax,
Your jaw,
The area of your eyes,
Your shoulders,
Your chest,
Your arms,
Your hands,
Down through your legs and into your feet.
Feeling your whole body like this flower that is rooted,
Grounded,
And reaching up and out flexibly open to just this.
And you might feel into the area of your heart,
Maybe right in the center of your chest or just above your stomach or anywhere that you feel it.
How do you feel the area of the heart,
The area of the very center of you,
The most vulnerable,
Raw,
Real part of you.
Just feel into that area inside you and imagine it like the flower,
A flower that is budding and opening and revealing itself directly to the light of the sun.
And this light might be bright,
Even harsh or painful,
But see if you can really allow this area to completely open and allow the light in directly.
The very center of you opening,
Releasing and allowing,
Allowing the fullness of this moment to embrace you,
To fill you up completely.
Feel into the area of the heart and imagine that you peel it back,
Shedding layer after layer of protection and reveal the most real part of you,
The most raw,
Innocent,
Tender,
Vulnerable part.
Let it be seen.
This is an area beyond thinking.
Just feeling,
Let yourself feel,
Let yourself feel whatever you feel,
Whatever is here to be felt.
Let it happen.
You don't need to make sense of what you feel.
You don't need to justify it.
Certainly not to me,
But just feel whatever you feel and let it fill you up and let it release from this space at the center of you,
Like a flower that is opening up and inviting in directly the light of the sun,
The light of the present moment,
This pure light out of your control.
If you can release everything you're holding onto,
Any tension,
Any tightness,
Maybe in your stomach or your arms or your hands,
Anything that you feel like is holding you together and see if you can release it all,
Let it all go.
And somehow you are still here.
Release everything and open yourself,
Open yourself completely and feel whatever is here to be felt.
Just let it happen.
Let it wash over you and through you.
If you want,
And if it feels right,
You could take a few deep breaths,
Breathing through the heart area,
Breathing in deep,
Go all the way out.
The air coming in through this very center of you through the heart,
Letting it release and feeling how it pumps through the whole body.
And you can allow the eyes to open and carry this energy into the heart.
And carry this energy into whatever's next.
Open,
Letting in the light.
