This is a centering practice.
You can choose whether you would like to sit,
Stand,
Or lay down.
Taking a few breaths here to Let the awareness drop from the mind into the feeling and sensing body.
Letting breath be your guide.
Can we center to be more present?
More open,
More connected.
And more on purpose.
We'll start by centering into our length.
And so feeling for the feet,
Wherever they are in space.
Connecting to the earth.
Allowing more of your body to sink into your hips,
Legs,
And feet.
And breathing space into your spine.
You'd be feeling an extension through the crown of your head toward the sky.
Feeling into your dignity here.
What does it feel like today?
How much can you access?
And in the next breath.
Letting awareness.
Fill out into your width.
Unfurling from side to side.
Be letting.
The rise and fall of your ribs.
Bring awareness to the sides of your body.
Maybe bringing some peripheral vision.
Letting your gaze be wide.
Noticing How porous you feel today.
How connected to the world around you do you feel now?
And in the next breath,
Bringing awareness to depth.
From back to front.
Healing into the backside body.
Maybe squeezing the shoulder blades a few times,
Squeezing the glutes to awaken the backside.
Feeling for.
Your relationship.
With past,
With the space behind you.
Inviting your awareness forward.
Pausing in the insides,
The guts,
The organs,
Maybe feeling your heartbeat for a moment.
Appreciating everything that keeps you alive here in the present.
And then noticing the front side of the body.
Maybe noticing your belly and chest rise and fall with the breath.
Maybe noticing temperature on your face.
Feeling for your relationship with the future.
With what's ahead of you.
Orienting yourself in time and space.
And then the next breath.
Bringing your awareness to center the space just below the belly button.
You can bring a palm down.
There,
If you would like.
This 360 degrees space,
Almost like your pelvic bowl.
Holding.
What matters to you,
Haldane?
Of life,
Force,
Energy.
And here.
Stating either aloud or to yourself.
A declaration,
Commitment,
Something that matters to you,
Maybe an intention that you have.
And once you do that,
Letting those words orient your body,
Shape your body.
Your length,
Your width,
Your depth.
Noticing What feels different?
Letting yourself fill out a shape that serves your declaration or intention.
And you can let your and drop.
It was at your center.
In the next few breaths,
Notice what your mood is on this side of centering.
And see what it's like to move forward in your day.
