Resting into stillness,
Close your eyes now.
Inhale deeply.
Let it go with a sigh.
Take a moment to be here,
To breathe here,
To allow the dust to settle.
Let what is here now in this moment support you.
The earth holding you.
The air you breathe nourishing every cell and gently caressing your skin.
The quality of light touching your face.
The kindness of the space you are in reaching out to meet you.
Place one hand on your heart and feel the rhythm of your heartbeat.
Bringing your awareness to your hands now,
Maybe noticing a gentle hum,
A slight buzz of energy in your palms,
In your forearms,
Upper arms,
Shoulders,
On the top of your head,
Forehead,
Face,
Ears,
Back of your head,
Throat,
Your chest,
Belly.
Back,
And your hips,
Thighs,
Lower legs,
Ankles,
Feet,
Soles of feet.
And toes.
And maybe feeling this hum of energy in your whole body now.
The feeling of being alive.
Begin to notice the tight places in you.
Breathe into them and let them dissipate,
Falling away off your shoulders.
Let any knot in your stomach begin to relax and let the constant whirr and hum of your busy thoughts be here.
Begin to release your grip on them,
For though they may feel so much like you,
They are just visitors.
Let them go.
Just as sight is the gift of the eyes,
Hearing the gift of the ears,
Maybe feeling is the gift of the heart,
And we are always feeling.
It is so simple to come back home to heart center if only we allow ourselves to feel in this moment.
The wisdom of the heart is always here to guide the way home when we sit,
Breathe,
Notice,
And feel.
The practice of being with what is here now brings us into alignment with our deeply caring selves.
Bringing your awareness to the space you inhabit around your body now,
Your personal energy field.
Begin to notice if some part of you here is bracing against the world in your heart.
Allow yourself to experience any armor your mind has so carefully constructed around your loving source in an effort to protect you from having to feel what it is to be alive.
Armor that prevents you from feeling the world and from other hearts reaching yours.
If it feels okay,
Begin to release this shell,
This barrier around your heart,
Beginning from the periphery of the space you inhabit.
Just letting go.
Moving closer towards your body now,
Releasing resistance,
Releasing the fight,
Releasing tension,
And notice how your love begins to expand and so effortlessly pours into the empty spaces.
Please hear me when I say your heart does not need to be protected.
The great wisdom center of your heart is always guiding you toward more loving,
More expanded versions of you.
Notice how deeply your heart wants to live fully alive and be felt here in this moment.
So all that is required for the heart to sing as it so naturally does is to release resistance to it.
So tell me,
Dear one,
Are you ready to let down your walls and welcome the light that is you?
Are you willing to step into your power?
Let go,
Dear one.
Let go.
Feel just for this moment how good it feels to live in the wide open field of your unprotected heart.
You do not need to carry heavy armor anymore,
For you are a warrior of the heart,
And love needs and knows no bounds.
Love is radiant.
Love is kind.
Love is expansive.
Love is power.
Love is gentle.
Love is fierce.
You are love.
You are love.
You are love.
You are love.
Feel how you blossom and grow bright when the heart has space to sing.
Let your light fill the whole room,
Your town,
Your country,
Your continent,
The world,
The entire universe,
Uniting with all the other hearts into one great love.
I'm feeling your body now.
Let every cell begin to open like a bud in spring with soft petals gently unfurling in the light.
Just as a flower opens in the light of the sun,
Let your cells open in the light and warmth of your love.
Every cell releasing its grip on the tight places and gently opening to come fully alive.
Just let every cell release.
Let them open.
Let them feel your love.
This is what trust feels like in the body.
As you rest into trust,
Let there be space between cells as they dance freely in the light that is you.
Feel what it's like to be fully you.
How powerful and radiant and loving you are there behind your image.
Think of your nature and be nourished in the healing radiance of you.
And from my heart to yours,
I thank you.
I see you.
I love you.
