Rainfall to Fireball by Kirsty M.
Xavier Today is a new day.
Whatever challenges you may have faced which have brought you to this point,
Remember this moment is a new moment.
Wherever you are right now,
Whether you are sitting or lying down,
Acknowledge the physical space that you are in.
Now acknowledge your own presence in the emotional place that you are in.
Let your mind sink into the comfort of your body,
The home for your soul.
Let your body ease into the quiet expanse of your mind.
Together,
Mind and body,
Spiritually connected.
Welcome the silence within,
Into your body,
Into your mind,
Into your spirit.
Now invite yourself to show up to the here and now.
How much of yourself will you bring to this present moment?
How much of yourself is seeking to hide within?
And how much is seeking for a light in the dark?
Acknowledge your body as a whole entity,
A living being,
By beginning to take in deep breaths.
Send your body gratitude for being with you faithfully on this journey.
Let us begin by opening the palms of your hands and resting them on your lap.
Imagine a single drop of refreshing spring water roll down from the top of your head.
Feel the cool sensation on your skull,
Where your hair strands are rooted in your head.
Let that drop roll down the side of your face,
The smooth contours of your cheek,
And pause at the chin.
Now imagine more drops of water trickle down all at once from the top of your head,
Beating down lightly onto your skull,
Kissing your forehead till they fall off the edges of your eyebrows,
And gently over your eyes and roll down the side of your neck,
Over your collarbone,
Down your chest,
Over your arms,
And gliding into the crevices of your open palms.
Let the water start to pool in the palms of your hands and hold still to keep the weight of the water for one minute.
Focus on not letting any water slip out of your hands.
Keep still,
Your hands cupped,
But not too tightly.
Keep your shoulders relaxed and breathe.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
Feel your chest elevate as it fills with air and lower as you exhale.
Now release the water between your fingertips by stretching out your fingers.
Let it all evaporate,
Vanish,
But remember its presence from just a moment ago.
Now clasp your hands together until they feel warm and begin rubbing them lightly between your fingers and palms.
Rub your thumbs across the palm of each hand.
Then when you are finished,
Lay them back down gently,
Open palm on your lap.
Now imagine the warmth of the sun reaching the top of your head.
Feel the sensation of heat concentrated on the top of your skull.
Not enough that it's burning,
But a radiating heat of light.
Now start to slowly tilt your head back looking up and let that warm sunlight radiate down your face,
The top of your nose,
The apples of your cheeks,
Your lips,
Warming your neck,
The tops of your shoulders.
And as the warmth moves across your soft belly,
Pause there.
Let that warmth search out the tension in your stomach.
Breathe.
Let the warmth pass over your thighs,
Over your knees,
Down your calves,
And now down into the soles of your feet.
Let the warmth soften the calluses of your soles.
Imagine your feet are resting on warm,
Soft sand.
Your feet weigh like feathers resting on the surface of the birch white sand.
Feel the warmth between your toes.
Embrace the sand between your toes.
Feel the crunch as the sand rubs together.
Breathe.
Now let that heat move back up the legs and travel into the palms of your hands.
Let that warmth gather into your palms until they form a hot fireball of light,
The size of a golf ball in each hand.
And with your eyes remained closed,
Using your mind's eye,
Imagine a fireball of light.
See the streaks of blue,
White and red fire dancing,
Moving,
Rotating in the fireball.
Breathe.
This is life force.
You're holding life energy in your own hands.
Now,
Gently raise both hands towards your chest and place both hands over your heart,
Giving your heart this life force of fire and light.
Let it enter your heart.
Open your soul to receive this gift.
Let it warm your soul.
Now open your eyes.
Now let out a deep,
Refreshing,
Releasing breath.
Let it warm your soul.
Let it warm your soul.
Let it warm your soul.
Let it warm your soul.
Let it warm your soul.
Let it warm your soul.
Let it warm your soul.
Let it warm your soul.
Let it warm your soul.
