Hello,
My name is Georgina Rose and welcome to this Body Connection meditation.
In this practice I will guide you to reconnect to your body,
To find the safety and to allow yourself to explore and play with the areas that feel tense,
That feel sticky and to learn how to come back to that mode of safety within the body.
So that at any time that you feel that you leave your body,
That you feel anxious,
That anything feels less than stable within your body that you have the tools to come back to a place of safety and calm groundedness at any time.
So let's dive in.
Allow yourselves to close your eyes if you feel safe to do so.
If not then please take a gaze at a point in front of you or down at the floor and allow your eyes to rest there.
Allow your gaze to turn inwards.
Allow the eyes to soften if the eyes are open,
If the eyes are closed.
Feel your eyes softening into the socket.
Resting your attention inwards to your own inner landscape.
Start to notice where you're sat or lying down in this moment.
Take a moment to observe the weight of the body resting into either your seat or the ground.
Notice gravity holding you steady and whatever is beneath you notice as it rises up to meet the parts of you that are resting.
Supporting you here.
Allowing you here to really feel that sense of being held.
And then bringing the hands either one resting on top of the other to the heart space over the center of the chest or bringing the palms to touch.
Allow yourself just to notice what is your intention for being here today.
Allow yourself to connect into that intention.
Allow yourself to let that land within this space.
Breathe that intention into the body and breathe it out into the moment that you're in right now so that it can be received and held for you.
And start to allow the hands now to rest somewhere comfortable.
And I invite you now to begin to notice the parts of your body here that feel soft,
Comfortable,
Easy,
Without rigidity,
Without tension.
And it may not be fully comfortable in those areas but it may just be a part that feels neutral where there's no tension,
There's no gripping,
There's no pain,
There's no real sensation in terms of something directing you to call it out.
But it's a part where maybe you might not even be thinking about it.
If there's a part that feels really warming and comforting for you then you can go to that space as well.
Allow yourself to explore these parts of you in this moment.
Notice how it feels,
What the texture is,
What the quality is,
If it has a certain shape or form,
If maybe it has a colour,
Anything at all which you can.
Allow yourself to feel into it with a little more depth,
To get familiar with the sensation,
With the feeling in that space.
And allow yourself to move your hands to this area,
To let it be known,
Let it be seen,
Let it be heard.
What is it that this part of your body wants to let you know?
Maybe there's a quiet whisper of a message here,
Maybe there's a loud calling out to you for you to hear and to welcome in this moment.
Maybe it takes some time to arrive in your body but listen in and see if you can hear it without trying to force the message.
It will come when it's ready.
But as you welcome that message in this moment,
Take a breath in to let it be received in your whole being.
Breathe it out to let it be received by this moment,
By this space that you've created for yourself.
And now start to bring your attention to somewhere in your body that feels a little bit tense,
Maybe it feels sticky,
Tired,
Tight.
And noticing the subtleties of this area,
The sensations,
Its texture,
Its form,
Its colour,
Anything at all which helps you again to really become familiar and intimate with this area.
And as you do so,
Rest your hands to this space,
To this area on your body which speaks to you and calls out to you.
Notice what it wants you to hear.
What is it that needs to be known in this moment?
What is it wanting to speak to you,
To say to you?
Welcome what is here within you to be heard and let it be received by your hands resting on that area.
Let it be known that you hear it here in this moment.
And this may feel challenging,
This may feel a little alien,
A little unknown to you to be with the sensation instead of pushing it away.
Where you can allow yourself just to be with it without judgment,
Without trying to make it into anything that it doesn't need to be,
But allowing it in its wholeness to be here.
Breathe that message in,
Let it be heard,
Let its wisdom be heard and breathe it out.
And now start to come back to that space of safety,
Of comfort,
Of ease,
Of gentleness.
Resting the hands back to that space,
Call yourself back to that part of you that felt soft,
Warm,
Expansive and let yourself rest there to know that you do not have to only hold the pain,
The tension,
The challenge,
But that what resides with it here in your body is that space that you can come home to which feels safe.
It feels like that coming home,
That space of ease,
Of softness,
Of not needing to tread on eggshells or be anything that it needs to be.
But allow yourself to sit with that and know that it is here too and that both exist together.
Take a deep breath into that deep knowing as you re-establish this pattern of coming back to that place of ease and knowing that it is always an option and a choice for you here.
Breathing that in and then breathing that out with a big sigh out the mouth,
Allowing yourself to rest your hands to a comfortable space.
Once again either to the hands resting on top of the centre of the chest,
To the heart's energetic centre,
One on top of the other or bringing the palms to touch.
Allow yourself here to drop into today what you're grateful for.
Dropping into that gratitude practice,
Allowing yourself to feel that in every fibre of your being as you take one more deep breath in,
One more gentle breath out.
From my heart to yours I thank you so much for joining me today for this body connection practice,
This embodiment practice of coming into your body and no longer rejecting or pushing it away.
I look forward to dropping into a practice with you again soon.
Sending lots of love.
