Hello there,
Friends.
In this moving meditation we invite the mind to quieten,
The breath to deepen.
And energy within the body to settle and flow.
Imagine you're holding a soft ball of warm light.
And expanding the hands as you inhale.
And then gently bring the hands closer together with the exhale.
As though the hand movements are mimicking the movements of breathing.
Embodying the breathing with the movements.
As the hands are open,
Allow the breath to arrive.
As the hands were turned.
Feel yourself relaxing,
Releasing,
Letting go.
Now that we've arrived,
We can begin to gently awaken the body.
Not by forcing it to become energised,
But just inviting awareness.
So we begin by grating the body,
Stroking down.
The outside of the arm and then returning up the inside.
Is brushing down gently.
Yang on the way down and Yin on the way up.
In terms of yin and yang.
Gentle self-massage To now wake the body gently,
Not with force but with kindness.
Like knocking softly on old friend's door,
Just tapping gently.
On the top of the head,
Activating.
.
.
Acupoints by Hui Just feeling the soft comforting and self-caring vibrations of the tapping spreading.
So here tapping around the eyes,
This is the so-called panda eyes.
So.
.
.
Certainly keeping away from the eyes but just around from above the eyebrow to the sides.
And down below the eyes.
Just a gentle tap.
It was like a drop of water falling into a pool and ripples spread out.
And here we're going to Locate Lao Gong,
Which is a point on the hand.
And then take the thumb and then just massage through that point.
It's just below the index finger and the middle finger.
That's pointed below them.
Noticing the warmth spreads without effort.
This is known to release anxiety by drawing down excessive heart fire.
Through the arm and releasing it from the palm.
And then just changing the hands over.
So we don't want excessive force here.
Just enough to start the circulation coming down through the arms,
Improving the circulation.
So just returning with the palms facing each other here.
I came.
Nice.
Deep breath.
As we expand him.
Bring the hands together.
Feeling the sensations in the hands and the palms and then closing.
Hands over to the apt man.
Centering and relaxing here.
Notice,
Has anything changed?
How is the breathing?
Has the weight settled?
Is there perhaps a little more space somewhere?
Standing comfortably,
Feet about shoulder width apart,
Knees soft,
Shoulders easy.
Hands resting quietly in front of the body.
Before we begin to move,
Simply notice Feel the weight of the feet meeting the earth.
Feel the gentle length through the spine.
And allow the crown of the head to float upwards.
Gently lifting.
The arms.
Palms face forwards,
Breathing out.
Hands drift down.
Just breathing in,
Floating upwards.
And releasing with the exhale.
So the visualization for this is starting.
Inside a quiet spring in the mountains.
And crystal clear water rises effortlessly from the earth.
And gently falls back again,
More like a fountain.
With water gushing up.
So in this way the.
.
.
Clear spring water gently bubbling upwards through the centre of the body with the inhale.
There's no lifting the force,
Simply allowing the hands to be carried by the rising water.
As they reach the highest point,
The fountain quietly changes direction.
The water begins to fall.
Softly returning to the earth.
Gently imagine that calmness is washing through every part of you.
Rising without efforts,
Slaying without resistance.
Like the breath.
Like the tide.
Like nature.
Feel yourself settling,
Rooting,
Supported by the earth beneath you.
Death receives everything without resistance.
And now the earth to receive anything you no longer need to carry.
Cultivating the steadiness and equanimity of the Earth.
