Embody.
Let's begin our mindful moment for February.
Take a moment to settle in,
Right here,
Right now.
Allow yourself to arrive completely in this space.
Take a collective breath in and a gentle breath out together.
Our mindful motivation today is Embody.
The simple act of shifting from thinking into being.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Feel your breath moving naturally.
It is your anchor.
Now let's engage our senses.
Feel the contact of your feet on the floor and the weight of your body on the chair.
Straighten your spine,
Feeling the dignity and presence of your physical form.
Breathe into the feeling of being grounded and solid.
This focus is a resource you can return to anytime you feel scattered or lost in thought.
As you hold this quiet Embody,
Here is a reflection.
Choose the option that feels most relevant to your week ahead.
This week,
Where will you intentionally apply Embody?
A.
In a sensory moment,
Like feeling the air on your skin as you walk,
Or B.
In an emotional moment,
Like standing tall and breathing deep before a big meeting.
Hold your chosen intention gently.
Take a deep breath in,
Gathering the focus we have cultivated and a slow,
Releasing breath out.
Let's practice a butterfly hug together for our collective well-being across time and space.
Cross your arms to form the wings of a butterfly and tap your shoulders in a slow,
Steady rhythm,
Alternating left and right.
Feel your presence in this body.
As you step forward,
Remember you are strong and you are brave.
Wishing you smiles and joy.
