Welcome to your meditation practice.
Finding a comfortable seat and taking a moment to arrive.
Rolling your shoulders down your spine.
Unclenching your jaw.
And really feeling your sick bones sinking into the earth.
The earth meeting with your body.
And your body meeting with the earth.
Begin to lengthen your spine tall.
Like your head is being pulled all the way up.
The sun,
The stars,
The moon.
And relaxing your body.
So your palms are on your knees.
And the breath moves deeply into your lower belly.
In through the lower belly,
Filling up.
Out of the lower belly.
Movie now.
Begin to notice the sounds that surround you.
Really feel the temperature,
The energy.
Of this day.
And check in with yourself.
How are you feeling?
How is your heart?
Where is your mind?
And exhaling any tension out of your body.
With every breath.
Checking in with your body.
And then slowly taking a deep,
Slow inhale.
And a long,
Slow exhale out the mouth.
Giving yourself the permission to be held.
Exactly as you are.
Mentally.
Emotionally.
And physically.
You are enough.
This right here is enough.
Present moment.
Mother Earth.
The breath.
Can you allow yourself to receive this unconditional loving support?
Resting in muscle,
In bone.
In the heart.
In mind.
Allowing every single part of you to surrender here.
Just as it is.
You don't have to hold it all together.
There's no one to perform for.
Or change for.
Or be someone different for.
Today's practice is letting go of those masks.
Those parts of you that believe they have to be different.
We're perfect.
To be loved.
So following your in-breath.
And lengthening your out breaths.
Giving yourself the permission.
Fully be here.
Sit down.
Masks.
The layers.
The walls of protection.
And spend some time with yourself.
What is left?
When?
There's no one else you need to be but yourself.
What does that feel like?
Really soaking.
Bathing.
And that energy of you.
And allow it to grow.
Brighter and brighter and brighter.
It is safe to be you.
Taking a deep breath in.
And a deep breath out.
Coming back to this practice anytime you feel far away from yourself.
When you need release.
A layer that is not you.
Coming back to the sounds.
The energy of the room that holds you,
The earth.
You see in your palms,
Over your heart space.
Taking a few deep breaths with your heart.
Have the most beautiful rest of your day.
And until next time,
Thank you for being here.
Sending all my love.
