Welcome,
Thank you for coming.
Please be comfortable.
Slowly arriving.
Silencing and plugging in devices inner and outer.
Letting your body kind of drink the ground for a while.
Maybe also as if the whole body could breathe through the skin,
Drinking the ground,
Drinking the air.
Allowing sounds to pass through the field of body.
Perhaps also just to allow thinking to be like just another kind of sound in this forest,
This field of body,
What we call body.
Gradually allowing your brain to cool down.
Your face to kind of melt or soften into not needing to be somebody,
Not needing to be somebody special.
Already so full of life.
Body drinking the ground and the air.
Perhaps getting an overall sense of your whole body and maybe also the space around your body if you wish.
As if your body is a kind of vast sea with darkness and shine full of creatures,
Full of life.
And having an overview or a chance to feel the whole sea,
The whole field.
And where there's maybe more rough waves or stronger currents,
Where it's more peaceful.
And just like we wouldn't say that it's wrong for the ocean to have some rough waves or some quiet places,
Some contrasts and intensity,
We could maybe allow ourselves also in that way.
Maybe we can learn from the ocean and let it be okay that there might be some rough waves,
Strong currents,
Quiet spots.
Perhaps a sense of resting into the bottom of the ocean while feeling and staying in touch with the whole body of water,
Letting it all be.
Perhaps a sense of movements of breathing,
Kind of like the waves of the ocean washing up on the shore and then gathering back into itself,
The body spreading out and compressing back in and spreading back out.
Resting into the sea floor,
Perhaps the contact with ground.
Or maybe somewhere lower in your body,
Perhaps literally farther away from the head and chest.
Silently,
Slowly gathering grain by grain like flecks of sand,
Slowly falling through the water towards the sea floor.
Letting that happen as much as possible rather than trying to make it happen.
Trusting perhaps that even though our minds and bodies have been trained to be in distraction,
In many directions at once and attentive to what's outside and attentive to thoughts that are not native to us,
That may not fit,
But that perhaps also there's something deeply natural in us that loves,
Ease that loves naturally falling into place,
Gathering somewhere that feels more like home or quiet or joy,
That feels more like an alignment or attunement with your calling.
Or just a place that feels more simple.
And falling silently grain by grain into that place as sweetly as falling asleep.
Letting that happen as much as possible.
If we could dare to put our worries and our hurry to sleep,
To put a sense of not enoughness to sleep and just feel aliveness sinking down into here with the sense maybe of the wholeness of our body and mind,
Like the wholeness of a sea and from sensing that wholeness arriving somewhere that's good enough to kind of rest your head and listen to the silence for a while,
The body drinking the ground and the air and your heart drinking silence.
Feeling aliveness,
Drinking what you love most in everything that you love.
Letting that happen as much as possible.
Perhaps,
Letting your eyes rest back a little more.
Maybe not even trying to see your inner world and giving up on making any conclusions about anything for now.
Putting conclusions to sleep.
Putting our eyes to sleep.
Finding our trying to sleep.
And finding what's awake here.
A body feeling itself without words.
A body allowed its heaviness.
The more allowed our heaviness,
Perhaps the more a different experience of our body opens out as well.
Maybe and a sense of spaciousness perhaps is allowed.
I've thought of that as most lots.
Thank you.
