Welcome to this guided meditation to explore sensing being more than just your body,
But rather an energy or light that feels more ethereal.
Let's begin with relaxation.
Sitting up tall in your chair or finding yourself in a comfortable spot where you can really let go,
Invite yourself to be fully present right now.
Imagine yourself gathering all the threads and strands of energy you've put out into the world today and days before.
Ask them to all come back and wrap inward,
Back into their place in your energy field to create a sense of peace and wholeness.
Relax your face and loosen your jaw.
Let your tongue feel heavy,
The tip relaxing up to touch the roof of your mouth gently as your lips part and you feel your breath move in and out of your nostrils.
Let your scalp soften,
Your eyes and cheeks relax.
Let your throat soften,
Open,
Allowing your breath of life to issue forth and draw in from the energy all around you.
And now let your shoulders soften as you continue to relax and let go,
Bringing yourself fully into this moment.
Now feel your back soften,
Let go,
Your stomach relax and soften.
See if you can breathe deeply into your belly so that you might feel it expand as you inhale and contract as the breath releases.
And let your legs soften and relax.
Loosen and let go in your calves.
Keep your attention on your legs for the next breaths and let them soften and relax even more.
And now feel your feet,
The top of them,
And notice the space just outside of them.
Now feel into the bottom of your feet,
Let them open and relax.
Invite them to create portals on the bottom to receive and release energy to and from the earth.
Now let your hands grow heavy,
Relaxed,
Your arms soften and let go.
Now notice your whole body.
Imagine the inside of your whole body,
Feeling it let go as you tell it to soften,
Loosen,
And release into this moment,
This here,
This now.
Embrace your breath as it draws in and gracefully allow it to release.
Keep your attention on the inside space of your body.
If there's anywhere that your attention is drawn to,
Imagine yourself breathing into that space,
Opening it up,
Making it softer,
More loose,
More relaxed.
Let it release and let go.
Now as you continue to breathe,
Gently bring your attention to your collarbone and let it wander slowly inward and downward and let it rest at your heart.
As you breathe,
Bring your attention to the space around your heart and inside the wall of your chest.
Notice the space behind your ribcage and in front of your back.
Between the edges of the front and back of your body,
Sense into the space there as you breathe.
Now notice the space in front of your ribcage and let that awareness connect beyond the front of your body into the space around the front of your body.
And as you breathe,
Feel the connection between the space within your body and the space just outside your body.
You might imagine it as a light that pours from your heart forward into not only you,
But the space beyond you.
And as you continue to breathe,
Imagine the light moving outward to fill the room in front of where you are sitting right now.
Let your attention and that light also expand to fill the space above you and around you,
Imagining that there is no barrier between you that is breathing and the space around you right now.
And now imagine that light pouring backwards through the back of your body into the space behind you,
Sensing in to the continuous space and breath and awareness,
The light that moves from your heart all the way out the back of your body and into the space behind you,
Filling the room around you.
For the next breaths,
Keep bringing your attention back to heart space and the energy,
The light that's radiating behind you,
In front of you,
Within you as a continuous energetic field.
Keep your attention from the inside to the outside,
Seeing it,
Experiencing it as one continuous field,
The breath connecting the space within you to the space outside you.
And when you're ready,
Bring your attention back into your heart space.
Notice the edges of your body by beginning to wiggle fingers,
Toes,
Noticing the edges of your skin,
Where you're sitting,
Where you are in the room.
Let yourself rest here for a moment.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes and take a moment of gratitude.
I thank you for being here with me.
