Happy Friday.
Oh,
We have some.
We have some work to do today.
No,
It's not work.
It's a bomb.
So good morning,
Everyone.
Welcome to your Friday morning.
Meditation.
It's been quite a week.
So.
.
.
Today I thought I would start.
Bye.
Having everyone close your eyes.
And take a few.
Deep cleansing breaths.
And with each exhale.
Try to let all of your rolls.
.
.
Fall away.
Names,
Responsibilities.
Current events.
Story.
Just for now.
And just arrive here in this place.
Welcome to those of you who are joining for the first time.
We're gonna start.
By awakening our awareness to the senses that we have of our space around us.
So with your eyes shut.
Notice.
What your eyes are seeing.
If there are colors or shapes or movements.
And just notice that,
No judgment.
Or if you see nothing.
And then move your attention to anything that you might be hearing.
In your room.
Outside.
Even inside your body,
Maybe you hear some things,
Some sounds.
Just noticing.
Are there any tastes that you have in your mouth?
Any smells in the room.
Bring your attention to your skin,
Where your skin is touching the air.
Where your feet are touching the floor.
Where there is clothing.
Touching you.
And now notice how your body changes when you take a deep breath in.
And how your body changes when you breathe out.
Expanding when you breathe in.
And relaxing when you breathe out.
So we are.
Focus on the seventh chakra today,
That's the seventh in the series.
And before we.
Before we really dive in there.
I thought it would be helpful to just get us above the fray.
Like above this.
The human messiness that is going on on Earth.
So that we can realign ourselves a little bit to what is real.
Even if just for a few minutes.
So imagine yourself at the foot of a sacred mountain.
And the sun has set.
And there's old pine trees standing around you.
These trees have been here for centuries.
Rooted and patient.
And they are connected to a deep wisdom.
And they ground you.
Without any fanfare.
And you're going to begin to walk upward.
Toward the tree line.
And something that you have been carrying for a long time.
Seems to get lighter.
It's like you've just set it down.
Gently.
For safekeeping.
And you can return to it later.
And continue to walk upward.
And now notice that the trees are thinning.
And the sky is opening.
And you can see the stars.
Now imagine getting to the very top.
Of the mountain and you're sitting down.
On an ancient stone.
The open sky around you.
The stars.
Vastness.
And imagine that you feel here.
Maybe for the first time in a long time.
That you are exactly where you're supposed to be.
So in this space,
Let's take some breaths.
They don't have to be deep breaths,
Can be natural,
Natural breaths,
Whatever your preference.
Feeling that cool air.
Come in through the nose.
And feeling the warm air.
And when you get distracted.
Or those thoughts start to come back.
Those responsibilities and stories.
All that just.
Acknowledge.
Put it down,
Set it down.
We'll get to you later.
And move back to the sky and the stars and the breath.
Feeling your body expand on the in-breath.
And relax on the out-breath.
Now let's bring our attention to the very of our heads.
This is the seventh chakra of the crown.
And see if you can picture a ball of light.
Starting to circle.
The very top of your head.
And it's purple.
Imagine it.
Trying to bloom.
It's not coming from outside,
It's coming from within.
It might feel like a warm thora.
A buzzing sensation.
If the sensation is not available to you.
Imagine the light.
Forming.
Like a lotus flower.
Opening.
In slow motion.
This energy is always there.
It's always waiting patiently.
Underneath the noise of daily life.
And the noise of the world.
Always accessible.
And as you breathe.
Let that purple light get stronger and more vibrant.
You can imagine it growing in size so that it's sending.
Rays off of the top of your head.
Again,
When you get distracted,
Just try to turn.
Your attention toward the breath.
Seventh chakras like or connection to.
Everything.
To the divine.
To vastness.
To each other.
So as you breathe,
Try to send that violet light up.
Softly.
Up into the sky above you.
And if it feels comfortable for you.
Imagine that that boundary.
Between where you end.
And where everything else begins,
Starts to soften.
So that in essence we're all connecting.
And breathe.
Nothing to figure out here.
Nothing to work at.
Just open stillness.
I like to imagine just looking at the earth down from space and seeing just this purple.
Glow.
As our purple light spreads through the sky.
Know that you are not a small thing reaching towards something large.
You are the large thing.
That remembers itself.
So as we.
Begin to pull our energy back in.
For now.
And we begin to come down and descend.
Back through the old trees.
You can give them a link.
Come back to your starting point.
You can choose whether you want to pick up your stuff that you left.
Or just leave it for another time.
Take one big,
Deep breath.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Take a stretch where you need it.
I really could stay there for a lot longer,
But.
.
.
So thank you all for being with me today.
I hope that you all have a great weekend.
May we have peace on earth.
