Hi friends,
This is Ixchel.
Today I'll be guiding you through a practice of priming.
Just as a canvas is primed before a masterpiece is painted upon it,
So too can you prime your day,
Your life to create the masterpiece that you want to bring your visions to life.
This practice can be done either sitting or standing.
The choice is entirely up to you.
If you're going to sit,
Prepare to be sitting for about 10 minutes,
So you might wish to place a cushion underneath your sit bones.
If you choose to stand,
Place your feet about hip-width apart and gently bend your knees so the energy can flow up from the earth.
Wherever you are,
I'm going to invite you to close your eyes.
We're going to do three rounds of this priming breathwork and visualization.
The first one is going to be around our physical health and vitality.
So imagine yourself in your peak top condition.
You feel incredibly flexible,
Incredibly strong and connected to your core.
There's a lightness of being that you feel with each step,
Almost as if you're flying.
It feels like your superpowers have been activated and that anything is possible.
You feel so much life force pulsing through every cell of your being.
Your energy feels so abundant,
Like you're just constantly in overflow,
Never feeling depleted,
But always having more than enough to give to everyone that you love to do everything that you love to do.
I'm going to invite you to continue visualizing how amazing this is in your life and all the details.
Feel it,
Taste it,
And we're going to begin calling it into the now,
Calling it closer to our hearts.
So we're going to begin with our arms overhead.
Our palms are open and we're creating a chalice ready to fill our chalice with infinite possibility for our bodies,
For our health,
For our vitality.
So when we inhale,
We bring our arms down to our shoulders.
We close our fists and we draw the energy in.
When we exhale,
We extend our arms back overhead and we open up our palms,
Giving it up to the universe saying,
Yes,
We are so committed to this and we offer it up in devotion and service to however it is meant to unfold.
We breathe this way for about a minute and then we inhale deeply and we retain our breath to charge every cell of our being up with what we've just created.
Are you ready?
Arms overhead,
Palms open,
And it's a quick breath in through the nose and out through the nose.
Ready?
Three,
Two,
One,
Begin.
Arms come down.
Every time you exhale,
Your arms come overhead,
Opening your palms.
Every time you inhale,
You close your palms,
Drawing the energy down to your chest.
Keep it going for about another 30 seconds.
Moving past whatever you need to move through to keep this going.
Beautiful.
Now when I count down to one,
You inhale deeply and hold your breath.
Three,
Two,
One.
Inhale fully.
Hold your breath.
Gently tuck your chin.
Bring your awareness to your heart.
Feel every cell of your being getting charged up with this increased vitality,
This overflow of energy.
And then exhale,
Release.
Bring your palms down to your sides.
Take a moment to feel the expansion that you've created through this simple breath.
Beautiful.
Now the next round that we're going to do is for our heart,
For our relationships.
So closing your eyes if they're not already closed,
I'm going to invite you to imagine you are painting the masterpiece of your life in the realm of intimate relationships.
I want you to feel how amazing it feels to be so deeply connected to all the people that you love.
Your children,
Your parents,
Your family,
Your friends,
The people that you work with,
And your intimate partner.
I want you to see how incredibly relaxed you feel in their presence,
Knowing that you are seen,
Appreciated,
Celebrated.
And I want you to see how they feel in your presence when you are showing up for them with that level of presence of love.
So we're going to continue to visualize this,
How amazing it feels.
And bring your arms overhead.
Ready?
Three,
Two,
One,
Inhale.
Keep that breath going.
Every time you bring your arms down and close your fist,
Feel how you are drawing this level of intimacy and connection even closer to your heart,
Making it even more of a reality.
Beautiful.
Keep that going.
Twenty more seconds.
You've got this.
Feel how expanded your heart feels,
Offering so much gratitude to the people that you love in your life.
And three,
Two,
One,
Deep inhale,
Holding the breath.
Feel every cell in your body being charged up with this deep level of love and connection,
Opening yourself up to new possibilities in relationship.
And then getting ready to exhale,
Letting go completely,
Bringing your arms down to your sides,
Taking this moment to bask in the expansion of your heart,
Continuing to feel how good it feels to be this connected in all your relationships.
Now the final one we're going to do for our purpose,
Our work,
Our service.
So I want you to see what it looks and feels like for your dreams,
Your visions to come true in the realm of your work.
What business are you launching?
What do you see around you?
How does it feel to have your message out there in the world?
Bring your arms overhead.
Keep visioning all the details.
How incredible it feels to have this deep sense of fulfillment,
Knowing that you are making this world a better place.
Three,
Two,
One,
Inhale,
Calling it even closer to your heart.
Beautiful.
Keep the breath going for another 30 seconds.
And ready.
Inhale deeply,
Holding it,
Feeling yourself being charged up with all the support you need in all realms to be able to actualize this vision,
This dream,
Charging every cell of your being up with this energy.
And then letting it go.
Feeling yourself dropping into a deeper state of openness,
Of receptivity to receive everything you need to be able to bring all of these visions to life.
Feel yourself expanded,
Knowing that this is all possible and so much more.
I'm going to invite you to bring your palms together at your heart and gently bowing in gratitude to yourself for showing up for this practice and feeling deep gratitude for the ability that you have to create your reality.
Thank you for joining me in this practice.
May you have a beautiful day seeing through the lens of infinite possibility.
