Hello and welcome.
This week's daily practice will be in support of letting your body express,
Letting it move
energy from the inside out through breath,
Movement,
Sound.
When we put our being into motion,
Our psyche into motion,
It heals itself.
As we welcome in some releases through our exhales,
Some shaking of our hands,
Our head,
And some sounding,
May we let our life energy flow,
May we free ourselves to just be as
we are right now and let it be in motion.
We're used to suppressing our energy,
So how do we practice expressing our energy,
Letting it out?
So I invite you just to settle in with me here.
It might feel nice to start this practice with your arms around each other,
Just squeezing
with your hands the outside of your arms,
And just take a nice juicy breath here,
Coming
into contact with your center,
The center of your being,
Squeezing each arm in towards
the center line,
Squeeze a little tighter,
You might even squeeze your shoulders up
towards your ears for a moment,
And then nice breath in,
And then exhale,
Just let your
arms go,
Let everything release and soften.
Our music is going to pick up,
And I'll welcome you into some expressive breath.
We'll breathe in through our nose,
Exhale,
Making a sound through our mouth.
Just following that flow to the music,
If your body wants to move along,
You want to
shake your arms a bit,
You want to wiggle side to side,
Move your spine,
Please do.
Let your body do what it knows to do here.
Here we go,
Breathing in,
And out,
And in,
And out,
And in,
And out.
Breathing a little bit faster,
We'll pick up the pace.
Big exhale,
Here we go,
Breathing in,
And out,
And in,
And out,
And in,
And out.
In,
And out.
In,
And out.
In,
And out.
In,
And out.
In,
Out.
In,
Out.
Out,
In,
Out.
In,
Out.
Following this flow,
Let your spine shake,
Let your arms wiggle,
That's it.
In,
Exhale,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Shake things up,
Let your body express.

Perhaps you want to sing along as you flow with this song,
Flow with this life force.
Find your own voice.
Maybe it's just a hum.
Gentle breath in through the nose and out.
How does your head want to express?
Your shoulders?
Just flow here.
Let it be easy,
Enjoyable.
Gentle breath,
Notice.
Can you get lost in the expression for a while?
Just let it take you on a journey.
Is there something here that wants to be voiced,
Said,
In words?
Maybe to yourself.
Let yourself speak it out loud.
Just taking these last few moments here to feel the beauty of a body that's expressed.
