Find a comfortable seat and close your eyes and allow your awareness to settle into the center of your chest,
The place where heaven and earth kiss,
Where your body and soul meet,
And simply become aware of your breath as your chest rises and falls,
Allow yourself to soak in life and release what is no longer necessary,
To take in the air and the wisdom all around you and allow it to penetrate into your heart,
Deep into your core,
Just like that.
And with the next three breaths,
I invite you to hum on the exhale,
A hum of delight,
Breathing in,
How delicious it is to be you,
Precious one,
And again.
And one last time,
Breathing in,
And as you experience your breathing slowing down,
Invite your mind to also settle into this infinite now,
Into the aliveness of your heart,
The beauty of your breath,
And the wisdom that created it all.
And invite your body to relax even more,
Softening the muscles of your face and neck,
Relaxing your shoulders and arms,
All the way to the tips of your fingers.
Breathing in a mist of relaxation and love into the entire trunk of your body,
And inviting all of those organs to settle and soften.
Feel that ease in your hips and relaxation making its way down your legs,
All the way to the tips of your toes,
Precious one,
So that you are ever more and heavy and safe.
And now I invite you to feel whatever parts of you are touching ground,
Perhaps your feet,
Eyes,
Your bottom.
Feel roots coming out of these places and sinking themselves deep into the earth,
Deep into soil and hot molten lava.
For all of her stillness,
The earth is so alive at her core.
And plug into that,
To your capacity to be still.
To be solid as a rock.
To be steadfast in your faith.
Yet fully alive with a fire in your heart for the divine.
Because the earth lives in you,
You were fashioned from clay and love and desire.
You were fashioned to be like the divine.
So as you feel this connection to the earth,
To dirt and sand and rock,
I invite you to bless it as the divine blesses all of us.
Bless it to be a vehicle for steadfast faith for all of us.
Bless the earth to help us remember who we are and to hold on to us and our dreams with complete faith.
And knowing that you are fully rooted in this earth,
I invite you to connect to her waters.
To feel within you the capacity to flow with what is.
To ride the waves of life.
And to be nourished and replenished again and again and again.
Feel the millions of droplets of water alive in your body right now.
Giving you life.
Moving nutrients and messages and life itself through you.
And feel within yourself the power of a tsunami,
Of a waterfall,
Of a rushing river.
And plug in to that.
Of your capacity to create tidal waves of inspiration and action.
Of your ability to move worlds.
Of the aliveness bursting through you and all around you.
And with the ability to bless that was given to you by the divine.
Bless the waters of this earth that they should nourish and sustain us.
Cleanse us and bathe us.
And renew us into full health and body and soul.
And knowing that you are deeply rooted in the earth and alive with her waters,
I invite you to connect to the passion of fire.
And feel the fires that are alive in you now.
Of your heart that pumps life through you.
Of your stomach that churns like a coal stove.
Of the heat you create when you run and play and share your passion with others.
Feel your fire,
Precious one.
The energy that moves through you always.
Feel the creative life force in you that knows how to turn sand into glass,
Clay into bowls,
Wood into a home.
And a stove into a hearth.
And feel the divine passion for growth and evolution and inspiration alive in you.
And as the divine blesses all of life,
I invite you to bless the fires of this earth.
That they should be a source of creation and passion.
Of warmth and connection.
And of life itself.
And knowing that you are deeply rooted in the earth.
And flowing and powerful with her waters.
And impassioned and creative with fire.
I invite you to connect to the air.
To that ethereal spirit that moves around the earth ever so gently.
As it fills your lungs ever so gently.
As it enlivens your spirit ever so gently.
This air connects you to that which cannot be seen.
The ethereal.
The divine.
The unknown.
And if you so choose,
Precious one,
You can plug in to the huach,
To the wind that invites leaves to fall.
That creates tornadoes and hurricanes.
And that reminds us of the humility of man.
You have within you that subtle breath.
And that fierce wind and spirit.
Both are alive in you,
Precious one.
Connecting to the air.
Connecting to the wind.
Connecting to the ethereal.
And taking that energy and moving the world with it.
This spirit that you are.
This fire that you are.
This flow that you are.
This solid grounding that you are.
You are all of these things.
And like the divine,
You are none of these things.
Everything and nothing.
Precious one.
And with the breath that's moving through your lips,
I invite you to bless the air of this earth.
That it should gently inspire us and sustain us.
That it should fill us with the capacity to move worlds.
And that it should lovingly kiss our cheeks and fill our lungs with health.
And knowing that you have been gifted to bless this world,
I invite you to connect to the earth,
The water,
The fire,
And the air.
To feel it all alive in you,
Precious one.
And to feel it all blessed by you,
Precious one.
Bless this little planet of ours.
To bring us ever closer to the divine.
That the rivers should sing,
The mountains should dance,
And the wind should call out to the divine.
With such beauty and rejoicing that we can't help but be a part of it.
And place those beautiful hands of yours onto your precious heart.
And bless yourself as well,
Precious one.
That you should remember the grounding and passion and flow and beauty that are alive in you always.
And that you should be able to light the world up with everything that you are.
And when you are ready,
I invite you to wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
And slowly bat your eyes open.
Ready to bless the world with your gaze.
