Sit upright.
Maybe on the edge of your seat if that's comfortable.
Feel your feet grounded on the floor.
Palms can be up to receive.
Or down to turn inward.
Gently close the eyes and turn your attention inward.
Focusing on the heart space.
Breathe.
Scan the body.
Noticing if there's any area.
That needs a little extra attention.
Breathe into that space.
And invite a release on the exhale.
Do this a few times.
It can be the same area or different.
Now bring your attention to your energy body.
This is your aura.
The space that extends about six feet from your physical body.
Is there something here that needs release?
Nagging thought or comment you've been mulling over.
A disagreement,
Or a project.
You have permission to put this aside.
Allowing it to alchemize into clearer awareness.
It is no longer needed in this moment.
Just come back to your breath.
On this next inhale,
Imagine the oxygen to be full of healing light.
Allow it to illuminate all your cells.
Filling each with the frequency of health.
Of happiness.
Of peace.
End of safety.
Begin to pull all of your energy inward.
Noticing the current of your mind.
Your arms.
Your legs.
And your seat.
Pull this current in toward your heart.
Breathe.
As you feel this current pulsating around your heart.
Illuminate that energy.
See it swirling around your chest cavity.
That space between your lungs where the heart resides.
Fill up the entire center of your chest.
This is the energy that will sustain you as the nights grow longer.
This is the spark to return to in the darkest days of winter.
This light is available to you always.
As you stay here,
Notice the emptiness around you.
Just like the falling leaves.
You are releasing anything that no longer serves you in this season.
You become lighter externally.
More available to the longings of the heart.
Recognizing that this is a time of listening.
What do you still need to feel into more fully to allow deep rest?
What wakes you in your sleep?
Breathe this into the safe container of the heart.
Understand emotions are energy,
Simply information.
You can put space between yourself and them.
Breathe into the lightness of the heart and find your center.
Stay in this place of stillness for a few moments.
As you begin to come back.
Recognize that light cavity and breathe into that space again.
You can dim it slightly as you feel back into your physical form.
Feeling again.
Your feet on the floor.
Your seat in the chair.
Your hands in your lap.
This is how we turn inward.
This is how we release.
Slowly open your eyes and wiggle fingers and toes to come back.
