This lunar series meditation is called, Are You Focused? Have You Remembered? Let's begin with resourcing the present. Gently scanning our bodies to locate our anchor. When we practice locating our anchor, We are learning our bodies, Noticing what we feel and where we feel it, Without judgment or in conclusion. We are becoming aware, Becoming aware of a point in our bodies that can ground our practice. Maybe allow me to guide you through. As we scan our bodies, Remember, You are in control. Notice what brings you inward, An anchor there throughout this practice, When guided and when your body lets you know you should. Here's a moment for you to decide on a comfortable position as I lead you in. Maybe you lay down now or sit comfortably and close your eyes. I'd like to invite you to your feet. Gently notice, Notice them. Maybe bring your awareness to your toes, Moving them around, Just increase the awareness. Traveling up the arch of the foot, Meeting at the heel, And just noticing what you feel. And when you're ready, Meet me at the back of your knee, Traveling at your pace up your calf muscles, Tracing the back of the leg, And just bringing your awareness there. What is it that you feel? Just notice. And when you're ready, We'll travel up the back of the thigh, Meeting at the hips. Take your time. Really trace the back of the leg. And just noticing what it is you feel. And slowly, When you're ready, We'll start tracing up our spine. Nice and slow until we meet at our shoulders. And just noticing what you feel. Relaxing in, Releasing. And then traveling up our neck when you're ready, We meet at the back of our head. And just noticing what we feel. Relaxing in, Even deeper. Moving forward now into the ears. Maybe paying attention to the sounds that we can hear. Gently allow me to introduce an alternative. And just leaning into what you hear. Notice how it makes you feel. And when you're ready, Travel back down your neck, Back into the shoulders. And take your time, Tracing your arm down to your wrist. Maybe move them a little to increase awareness. Move into your fingers and your hand. And notice them. I'd like to invite you to place one hand on your chest. And the other on your belly. And just noticing the natural rhythm of your breath. Bringing your attention to the heartbeat, If you can find it. And now maybe into the rise and fall of the belly. Good. How does that feel? Let's just be here for a moment. As you intend to be here in this moment, Notice where you are resourcing it. What is holding your body's attention? What returns your attention to this moment? Lean in and anchor there as I invite your attention to these words. There has to be a time where we ask ourselves, Is this still the way I want to go? How is it that we know? Maybe we just get still and ask our bodies to remind us of the subtle wishes that fill our hearts, Nourish our bodies, And nurtures our spirits, Protects our minds. Ask your body to remind you of what that is, Of what those are. Are you focused? Have you remembered? Sometimes we go to places where we aren't loved, Unaware, Instead of focusing on the people that love us and on loving ourselves. Sometimes we commit to things that drain our spirits, Unaware, Instead of focusing on our selection of what brings us joy. Are you focused? Have you been aware? Sometimes we show up as someone that doesn't reflect who we have decided we were, Unaware, Instead of remembering ourselves, Being. Sometimes we refer outside ourselves, Disconnected from our bodies to see a world that doesn't validate the legitimacy of our desires, Instead of focusing on what we desire. Are you focused? Have you remembered? Take this moment to remember. When we remember, We create the world we intend, We live the life we desire, We experience the life we decide. Remain focused and aware on what you decided. I'd like to guide you back to your anchor now. Anchor in while I leave you with these words. Mantra. I am aware so I can remain focused. I am aware so I can remain focused. I am aware so I can't remain focused. In the end, It's only us that remains after life passes us by. My sacred friends, Look how far you've come. Look how far you have to go. Keep going. Don't you give up now. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.
