Begin by orienting yourself to the space that you're in.
So notice what's around you with your eyes open and slowly observe,
Gently tracking this space that you're sitting in.
No judgment here.
You're just taking your time to look around,
Allowing your body to feel what's inside of your environment.
And take a deep inhale now,
Breathing all the way in.
On the exhale begin to release your shoulders a little bit further so you create some space between them and your ears.
Feel your body.
Notice its vibration and begin to sense how you're arriving today.
Maybe there have been some things that have happened that have changed your energy.
Or maybe you're experiencing joy today.
Perhaps a little bit of both.
Joy and discomfort.
Wherever you are right now in this moment,
Begin to radically accept the state of whatever that is.
Let's take another deep breath this time,
Breathing from the base of the feet,
White light all throughout the legs,
Into the mid body,
Up into the very top part of your crown.
And release the breath,
Dropping it around you with comfort,
With loving energy.
As you allow your body to breathe in its normal rhythm,
Identify a place in you that feels really good.
Whether it be your hands,
Your face,
Your belly,
Your legs.
Just notice what place feels good.
And take a couple of breaths into this space that feels good.
Perhaps witnessing a light,
A color,
Coming from this place.
And now begin to focus on your heart.
It's the beat that sustains you.
It keeps you alive,
Breathing,
Functioning.
It's your life force energy.
And feeling into the heart,
Begin to send gratitude to all parts of you that have been through whatever challenges that have surfaced in your life.
Sending gratitude to the parts of you that may have not felt so well lately.
Inviting an understanding to move through,
That you love yourself unconditionally,
Just as you are,
No matter what's happened.
And now begin to feel into another part of your body that feels good.
Maybe this part of your body is the same or it's different.
Take note if the color inside of this area has changed or if it's the same.
And take three breaths here,
Breathing in and breathing out at your own pace,
All the while softening your shoulders,
Relaxing your hands and your feet.
And begin to come back to your heart now.
Part of the way in which your nervous system functions is it does so inside of safety.
And when you're feeling safe,
You're inside of a parasympathetic state,
Which means you have better digestion,
You have better ability to think,
And you feel happier here.
So in this moment,
When we access the parts of you that feel good,
We're moving into your parasympathetic state.
And when we call in parts of you that may have not felt as good and send gratitude to these parts,
A compassionate understanding of loving yourself for exactly how you are,
We move into smooth sailing,
Part of that ventral vagal rest and digest space that your body so well deserves.
So take one more deep breath here.
This time the breath is going to come from the belly,
Breathing all the way in and relaxing the breath.
And as you relax the breath,
Send that energy into your arms,
Flushing through your torso,
Dancing all the way down your legs so that you sense safety.
And every single element of your body.
Remember that any time you're feeling activated,
Any time you're feeling overwhelmed,
You can tap into this resource within you of stability and safety to help activate your parasympathetic nervous system.
And now feeling your body as a whole,
Feeling into the good parts of your body that you identified.
Take one more deep inhale,
Breathing all the way in,
Sending pink energy to your heart.
All the way out,
Releasing your shoulders a little bit further,
Softening your jaw a little bit more.
Counting down from three to one,
May you come back feeling awake,
Alert,
And refreshed.
Three,
Beginning to wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Two,
Beginning to come back into your body.
And one,
Whenever you're ready,
Gently come back to today with love and grace for yourself and others.
