Let's start by sitting feeling very grounded,
With your feet or sit bones connected to the earth,
Whichever feels best for you.
Exhale and release the weight of your body down to the earth,
Feel held by the earth herself.
Inhale and allow your spine to be tall and if it feels alright for you,
Let your eyes gently close.
Let your hands go to your heart for the first few seconds.
Simply allow time to feel and sense the space around you.
Allow your breath to also be sensed and be aware of the way you are breathing.
Let the awareness of your breath be the last whisper of what's going on for you today in this moment.
Sense how the breath goes deeper or slower if possible,
Everywhere throughout your body,
Around you,
As if the breath could expand,
As if the breath could expand,
Not just within but also around you,
Wherever there is a tightness or a feeling of closeness.
Let the breath go there and expand the space.
Let the silence be felt like a huge cosmic ear listening to your breath.
Silence and breath,
They whisper to each other.
Let your breath draw,
Scribble,
Spread,
Circle,
Dang,
Leave.
Let your breath be whatever it needs to be.
Feel how the architecture of your pelvis is grounding as you breathe,
As if it could receive the intention of your breath expanding,
As if it could resonate with the whisper of breath inside of you.
And as you exhale,
The weight of your pelvis becomes stronger,
More heavy,
More rooted.
As you inhale,
The breath rises all the way up towards your heart,
And it is your heart with each inhale that receives this expansion.
Exhaling,
Your pelvis becomes more grounded.
Inhaling,
Your heart becomes more spacious.
Heart and pelvis,
They whisper to each other,
As well as the breath and silence.
Spirals of breath within you and outside of you.
Feel around the area of your heart and pelvis,
Wherever the breath needs to go,
To open,
To unclog,
To untangle,
To release any tension.
Let it go.
Hear the breath whisper to the heart and the pelvis in a soft,
Tender voice.
You are held in love.
And perhaps that whispering,
You are held in love,
Becomes your whisper,
You are held in love.
Let that whisper,
Let that phrase become your whisper,
You are held in love.
Imagine that phrase coming,
The intention of your heart,
Any place,
Any space in your body that needs to be reminded that it is held in love.
Feel how that whisper resonates like an echo.
You are held in love.
Your home,
People around you,
They are held in love.
Your home,
The architecture of wherever you are,
It's held in love.
The people that are with you in this home,
They are held.
And let that whisper echo outside of home,
Into your neighborhood.
You are held in love.
It is in love to everyone in this place,
In this city,
In this country,
In this region,
In this world where you are,
To the continent,
To the oceans,
To the galaxies,
And beyond,
Everywhere.
You are held in love.
And if your breath could whisper to the whole of creation,
And creation and this huge cosmic ear resonate back to you,
Breathing here,
In this place as well,
Back to us,
Back to our hearts,
Back to each of our cells,
In our bodies,
You are held in love.
Every cell and fiber of your being resonates with this whisper.
We are held in love.
Back to you,
In your heart,
To each and every one of you listening here,
As if we could resonate to each other,
The same whisper,
We are held in love.
As if we could sing this whisper in silence and feel the ripples of this whisper,
We are held in love.
Let it simmer,
Let it resonate everywhere.
Feel your breath and the silence.
Hear your heart and the breath echoing each other.
Let everything else be answered with this whisper.
Allow yourself the permission to linger here for a little longer to sense this whisper.
Your breath,
The space inside and around you.
Your breath,
The space inside and around you.
Keep your eyes closed to maintain the awareness of your breath and the echoes of this whisper.
When you feel ready to conclude this practice,
Gently bring your hands together,
Rub them,
Creating warmth between them and when they feel warm enough,
Cover them over your eyes.
In the darkness of your palms,
Feel,
Feel,
Remember this warmth from your hands,
Your heart and this whisper,
You are held in love.
Gently and slowly,
Let your palms lie down your face.
Let your eyes blink open and let this whisper stay with you through the rest of your day.
