Settle into a position that feels honest for your body.
Support it.
Enforced.
Allowing your breath to arrive without shaping it,
But just noticing the fact that you're here.
Welcome sunshine into the town.
A place where the current's slow,
Where the inner water's clear,
Where your breath can soften without needing to prove anything.
These are moments that can hold you the way that shorelines hold.
Returning waves.
No demands or expectations.
No need to rush.
An invitation to allow the time to meet you.
For studying.
The freedom to arrive exactly as you are.
If you'd like to do so,
You can close your eyes or simply soften your gaze.
Throughout this meditation,
I'll be offering gentle,
Distant reaches.
You can receive by seeing us internally or out loud.
Or if you choose to just be present with the meditation.
I just invite you to stay with my kids,
Knowing that either decision is honored.
Allow your breath to lengthen slightly.
Like the tide remembering its shoreline.
Inhaling through the nose.
Exhaling to the mouth.
Bringing awareness to the center of your chest.
Not the anatomical heart,
But that inner chamber behind the sternum.
A place where warmth gathers when you feel understood.
That place that tightens when life asks too much of you.
That place that knows how to open again.
Weekend.
Invitation to imagine a soft green light resting here.
Not bright,
Not dramatic.
More like moss beginning to grow on stones after a long winter.
That color that doesn't need to announce itself,
But you notice its presence.
Every inhale.
Let this green light expand at fingertips width.
And with every exhale,
Allow this light to settle like silt drifting to the riverbed.
If your mind wanders,
That's okay,
We're not doing it.
Minds,
They wander like the wind.
We're not here to.
.
.
Control the wind.
But to anchor beneath it and experience it.
To imagine that your chest space is empty.
A small clue for you.
This is the part when it's not performing or protecting clear still.
What a simple being.
As you continue breathing,
Imagine that every single drop of green light falling into that pool.
It was a job of some dame.
Compassion,
A drop of ease,
A drop of permission.
Rippling and softening the edges of your chest.
You agree?
Shabbat Shalom.
Widening the collarbone.
Just remembering.
Almost as if you were never meant to fold inward in the first place.
If heaviness rises,
Don't rush in.
Heaviness is simply energy waiting.
To be witness.
Offer it patience.
On Reddit.
Your awareness to the center of your chest.
Inhaling space.
Exhaling the palms.
Brings to mind someone or something that makes your heart feel steady.
A memory or a person,
Place,
A moment of stillness,
Of quiet.
Let this presence sit beside you,
Not to fix anything,
But to remind you that your heart has known safety before.
Let this presence pour just a little more green light into the board.
Feel the ripples widening.
Watch the water as it brightens.
Feel your chest softening.
Emotions,
Rise of an album.
Emotion is movement and movement is healing.
The healing is the heart remembering its own shame.
Invitation to place one hand or just your awareness over your heart space.
I feel like I've warmed up,
It's crazy.
You're like the truth that you are here.
Breathe in.
Choosing yourself in this moment.
Take a slow breath in.
Holding our gentle palms.
Exhaling and exhaling.
It's like leaving its trace on the ground.
And inhaling.
On Z.
And exhaling.
Allowing the green light to settle into a steady glow,
Not fading.
Not disappearing,
Just integrating.
Becoming a piece of your internal landscape.
When you're so ready.
Imagine the pool is closing like a calm lake it does.
Leaving smooth.
Bye.
And hope.
Return your awareness to your breath.
Back into your body,
Feeling the surface of the floor or the seat that you're sitting on.
Feeling the temperature of the room.
Taking in a new sight,
Sound,
Smell.
Slowly returning to the moment,
Maybe a gentle stretch or a wiggle,
Wiggling of the fingers and waggling of the toes.
Only when you're reading.
I invite you to return to waking awareness.
Carrying this soft and steady heart with you.
Thank you so much for sharing this space.
Occupying time with me.
Opening your heart to receive this healing energy.
It's always a pleasure.
Until we meet again.
Blessings.
