Welcome.
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for showing up.
Today I invite you to become more in tune in alignment with your body and your soul.
Let's take a deep breath together,
Breathing in and releasing.
Closing your eyes.
Just scanning the body and noticing where you might be holding tension,
Pain,
Expectations,
Frustration,
Stress,
Just noticing it.
We're not judging it.
We're just noticing where it is in our body.
What does it feel like?
And so with your eyes closed,
Bringing your focus to the very top of your head.
And imagine your hair relaxing.
The skin on your scalp.
Go ahead,
Loosen the skin on your scalp a little bit more you might even need to massage it a little bit just loosening up that skin on the scalp.
The forehead softening the eyes.
Relaxing the jaw.
Allow the jaw to drop down.
Lips are barely touching.
Behind those lips the teeth are parted.
The tongue rest behind the upper front teeth.
Go ahead and bring those ears back above your shoulders.
Tucking the chin a little toward the chest.
If it feels okay,
Lift those shoulders up up up to the ears.
And pull them back and pull them down way down.
Moving the head side to side.
Maybe even giving the head and neck a little roll.
Bring the head back to center.
Connecting with your shoulders once again,
Pulling them back,
Feeling energy move down the arms into the wrist and hands out the fingertips.
Breathing that energy back into the chest and into the heart deep breath,
Opening that chest.
Relaxing ribs.
Softening the belly.
Go ahead and give your hips a little movement.
Maybe they're just back and forth.
Maybe it's in a circle.
Just giving the hips a little movement.
Just opening those hips just a little bit.
Coming to stillness.
Bringing relaxation to the pelvic area.
Feeling that energy move down the thighs.
If you're sitting in a chair or on a pillow,
Go ahead and let those knees fall out to the side bring a little more relaxation to the knees.
Follow that flow as it moves down the calves to the ankles.
The tops of the feet.
The big toes,
The smaller toes.
Feeling into the soles of your feet.
Just take a moment here.
Feeling into the soles of your feet.
Can you make them vibrate?
Can you make them tingle?
Just a little bit being in touch with the soles of your feet.
Heels.
Feel that energy move up the back of your calves to the back of your knees.
Your thighs.
Connect with your bottom.
Wherever you're sitting,
Allow your weight to just fall into that chair or that cushion.
Trust that that chair or cushion will do its job and hold you upright.
I invite you to bring your focus to your lower back.
This is a good time to take a deep breath and send it to that lower back,
Easing away any tension,
Easing away any stress,
Tightness.
If you need to listen to your body,
Maybe it needs to rock back and forth a little bit.
Maybe it needs to move side to side.
Just become aware of what your body is asking you to do in this moment.
Feeling that energy move up the spine,
Up,
Up,
Up into the shoulder blades.
Go ahead and bring those shoulder blades together.
Pulling them together,
Bringing them down.
Feeling the energy move to the back of the neck,
The back of the skull.
Notice all the weight back there.
Notice the tension to the very top of your head.
I invite you to bring your hands together and rub them,
Generating some heat.
Rubbing those palms together.
A little faster now.
And go ahead and place them over your eyes.
Take a breath.
When it feels right,
Bring the hands back down to the lap.
And now I want you to think of someone that you may be struggling with right now.
Someone that is bringing some stress to your life or maybe some tension or chaos.
And if you don't have one of those people,
I'm happy for you.
You're practicing the work.
Smile to yourself.
But if we do have one of those people in our lives,
Go ahead and put one hand on your heart.
One hand on your belly.
Eyes are still closed.
Picturing their face.
Maybe taking a few steps back and picturing their whole self that you can see.
See them standing there.
They don't have a certain expression on their face.
They're just standing there.
Smiling to them.
And saying these words to them.
I hear you.
I see you.
I honor you.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for the lesson.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you feel loved.
And may you know you are safe.
Bringing your hands back down to your lap.
Palms open.
Take a breath with me here.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Thanking yourself for taking the time today.
Namaste.
