Welcoming ourselves into our posture,
Finding that place in our spine that feels relaxed
yet alert,
And taking a few deep breaths to just drop in a little deeper,
Inviting the
opportunity to land in the breath,
Land in the body,
This aware breath,
This breath awareness,
Always here,
Always available,
Offering us the possibility to come online,
Become alive
to what's present in this moment,
This breath,
This body,
This sense of contact on the ground,
The breath flowing down through the body into the sense of contact,
Gravitational pull,
Drawing us into connection with the earth,
This moment of contact,
Of just beginning to greet and say hello to the earth,
To the degree that we feel that there is connection here already,
That there is some subtle communication,
Some quality of communion with the earth,
Just welcoming that in,
The earth beneath us,
Our mother earth,
Gaia consciousness,
Offering that sense of earth,
Of ground,
Of rootedness,
Our Gaia nature is simply to open,
To embrace,
To welcome,
Our motherly nature is to sustain,
To nourish,
To nurture all life,
All beings,
Without question,
Without hesitation,
This is the quality of her heart,
Her nature,
The boundless loving kindness of her awakened being,
And to the degree that that's available to you right now,
Just welcoming that in,
Welcoming in that sense of support,
Holding,
Even if it's very subtle,
Very slight,
Just letting yourself drink that in,
Through the breath,
Through the body,
Through the sense of contact,
Physical contact on the earth,
The rich,
Loamy earth energy,
Gently rising to meet you,
To hold you,
To nourish and sustain your being and your breath,
This earth breath flowing now through the body,
Inviting physical relaxation in the places where there is holding,
Inviting the breath to soften,
Deepen,
The richness of this divine earth energy,
Energising,
Nourishing,
Saturating this breath,
Body,
Being,
As Mama Gaia invites the possibility of letting go,
Letting go with each breath,
Within the safety of this containment,
This earthy embrace,
Letting go of the edges that divide us,
The boundaries that limit us,
Noticing how that sense of contact on the earth isn't so sharply defined as we might think,
But rather a continuum of sensation and spaciousness,
Mama Gaia inviting us to relinquish our awareness and the boundary of what's known,
To release our sense of self and to open up,
Into the boundless embrace of this divine earth blessing,
I'll now pause the guidance,
Give us some space to really drop in to what is,
There's nothing you need to do,
Mother Earth is holding you,
If at any point it's not clear,
The breath is always here to return to,
This love knows no limit,
Mother Earth is right here,
Embracing every little bit,
No boundary,
No fear,
Now coming back to the breath once more,
And the body,
Breathing into this alive energetic frisson,
This hum of being,
The vibrancy of your physicality,
Integrating,
Embodying,
The wakefulness,
The vast,
Empty,
Full awareness of this divine earth,
Our divine earthy nature,
Breath,
Body,
Earth being,
Not to,
Not to,
Not to,
And to finish this last few minutes,
Dropping into a sense of heart,
A sense of loving kindness,
Like the heart would,
The centre of a tree,
The core of our being,
This pure divine blessing,
Naturally emanating and suffusing our being,
You are blessed with the nourishing richness,
Divine earth,
The fiery warmth of sun,
And the refreshing sweetness of rain,
You are blessed,
And you are a blessing,
Thank you,
Thank you for being,
And welcome home,
So just inviting a little movement in our fingers and toes,
The small movements,
The spine and the neck,
As we prepare to let this practice go,
And take with us any blessings,
Any gladness,
As we move on about our day,
Go well.
