Hey there.
I'm so happy that you're here for today's embodiment practice.
So let's get started.
Taking a big deep breath in and letting it go.
Big deep breath in.
Letting it go.
Wiggling out any thing in your day that you're holding on to that's no longer serving you in this moment.
And today we'll just practice some gentle guided movement,
But really there's no right or wrong way to do this.
It's about discovering your own way of feeling into your body,
Stepping out of your mind,
The busyness of your day.
And I'll do the same because I'm practicing right here with you.
Big deep breath in and letting it go.
Gently swaying side to side.
Letting go of any tension you're holding in your shoulders or your chest or your arms.
Inviting your knees into the movement.
Reaching up to the sky.
Arms down,
Reaching up to the sky.
And arms down.
One more time,
Reaching up to the sky.
And this time we'll reach side to side,
Slowly opening your body.
There's no right way,
Just your way.
Opening up the intercostal muscles.
Reaching our body cross laterally.
This is really great for the nervous system.
This bilateral movement.
Yeah.
Coming down into your hips,
Circling your hips.
We hold so much tension in our hips.
We hold so much stories,
So much memory.
And that's said to be energetically connected to our jaw.
So as we open up our hips,
You might notice a natural softening in your jaw.
Maybe you make some circles with your circles.
Circles with your circles.
And going the other way,
Circles with your circles.
Ah,
Feeling into the earth,
Feeling into your feet.
And let's just bounce up and down a little bit.
Yeah.
Shaking hands,
Shaking lips.
And coming into gentle bouncing in your knees,
Feeling your feet heavy into the earth.
Ah.
And taking a moment here in relative stillness,
Allowing your feet to come a little wider than hip distance apart.
So you can really feel supported by your lower legs.
And in turn,
Feel supported by the earth beneath you.
Knowing in this moment,
The entire earth is rising up to support you.
Ah.
And how glorious that is.
And as you tune in to your inner landscape,
Notice the gentle sway in your body that's already happening as we invite some vigorous movement into this being.
Notice what's here,
Heart beating.
And notice an area of your body that's calling for your attention.
Maybe it is,
In fact,
Some tension.
Maybe it's a tightness.
Maybe it's a sense of warmth or openness.
Take a moment to notice one experience calling your attention or maybe an area in your body.
I'm feeling the space in my neck.
So I'm just going to start moving just so gently in the way that place in my body wants to move.
I'll invite you to do the same.
So when you notice there's some part of you that's asking for your attention,
Allow your body to move with that sensation,
With that experience.
No right or wrong.
This movement might be subtle.
It might be expansive.
It might want to move around the space.
It might want to stay contained.
No right or wrong here,
Just gently moving how that body part wants to move.
Finding the rhythm and song from within in your heartbeat and in your voice.
Breathing.
And just taking about 30 more seconds here to really allow this place in your body to move in whatever way it wants.
And sometimes a motion starts to flow.
As we open up our body,
That energy,
That emotion,
Energy and motion may have time to express itself.
Can you welcome that if tears start to flow?
If some energy wants to come out of your mouth,
Maybe into a pillow.
And start to come into relative stillness just for a moment here.
Notice the effects of that gentle welcoming practice on your body,
On your breath and on your mind.
And for this next section,
We're going to allow music to help guide our movement.
And so let's enjoy together the music of pure love frequency.
Allow it to move us in whatever way feels right.
Allowing your body to come to relative quiet and stillness now.
Feeling your aliveness.
Nothing to do or make happen.
Already happening.
And notice the impact of this free movement practice on your body,
On your breath,
On your mind,
On your sense of connection to yourself and the whole world around you.
It is such an honor to move with you today.
My name is Caitlin Clark.
And I'll look forward to connecting with you again in the future.
Because I love this practice.
And I know that if I'm living in my joy and doing what brings life to myself,
Then I can really share it with you.
And it's such a pleasure.
Thank you so much.
Be well.
