Settle in to a comfortable seated posture where you have your back straight,
Yet relaxed.
Take a deep breath,
Allow yourself to fully arrive,
Letting go of whatever it is you are doing today and whatever it is you have yet to do.
Take a moment to just slow down your breath,
Check in with yourself,
Find that position where your body is relaxed and open,
Gently clasp your hands in your lap and allow your breath to move naturally through your body.
Consciously relax your mind,
Let your eyes become heavy and relaxed.
Feel the muscles in your face relaxing,
Your breath becoming steady and deeper.
Focus on your shoulders,
Feel them relaxing,
All the tension is rolling off.
Breathe deep into your stomach,
To your lower abdomen,
Let the body be soft and relaxed.
Become aware of your connection to the seat below you.
Whatever it is that you're sitting on,
Become aware of how that's connected to the earth.
Feel the great mother's energy below you.
Begin to feel the rhythm of the earth,
The inhale and exhale of this great planet we call home.
Feel that gravitational pull holding you in the place where you sit.
Allow the energy from the center of the earth to rise up in that magnetic pull into the bottom of your feet,
To your legs,
Up into your hips,
Into your torso,
Your heart,
And all the way up over your head.
Feel the energy of the earth as she pulls from you all the tension and worry,
Any anxiety or stress,
Any pain in your body.
Just allow her to pull the energy you no longer need out from you.
Imagine it going down and down,
All the way back to the center of the earth to be composted and reused.
Feel your body becoming heavier and heavier and more relaxed as you breathe with the earth.
Imagine above you,
In the center of our universe,
The great sun,
The source of life,
Beaming its energy down upon your head,
Feeling this golden rays kissing your forehead,
Illuminating your mind.
Allow this golden energy to run through your body as it gently moves down your spine,
Lighting up all the cells in your body.
Allow this golden light to fill all the empty spaces.
Breathe it through your entire body from head to toe.
Feel how the light invigorates your cells,
Clears your mind,
Lightens your mood.
Bask in this golden glow,
This incredible energy.
Allow your heart to be filled with this golden light.
With each in-breath,
You're feeling more and more refreshed,
Renewed,
Alert,
And awake.
Your mind is crystal clear.
Breathe in the golden light.
Let it circulate through every cell in your body.
Let it mix with this energy of the earth,
Connecting you in this vertical alignment between heaven and earth.
Allow yourself to find the center of your soul,
The center of your heart.
Put your awareness in the center of your heart.
Breathe from the center of your heart.
Send your practice out to all your loved ones.
