So, We're going to start by just simply breathing in and out. Okay. So, As we get started, As we always do in our meditation, You want to make sure you're in a comfortable position. You want to try as best you can to keep your head, Your shoulders, Your hips all in alignment. And you want to try to keep your head in alignment. So, We're going to start by just breathing in slightly deeper than a regular breath. Breathing in and breathing out. Just a little bit deeper than normal. And then, As you breathe in, You want to try to keep your head in alignment. And as you breathe in, You want to try to connect to your breath. In through the nose. You can breathe out through the nose or the mouth. Slowing everything down. And then, As you breathe in, You want to feel the connection of your body with whatever is beneath you. The chair, The floor, Whatever part of your body is touching that piece, I want you to really ground into it. The weight of your body pushing down. So often we get up in our head when simply all we need to do is ground down to the earth. The steady earth that is always beneath us. And then, As you breathe in, And as you take a nice big deep breath in, Connect a little deeper. And as you breathe out, Ground down even deeper. Take a few more breaths here. Breathing in and grounding down. And then, As you breathe in, You want to start to feel the connection of your body with whatever is beneath you. And then, As you breathe in, You want to start to feel the connection of your body with whatever is beneath you. Breathe in and breathe out. And then, As you breathe in, You want to start to feel the connection of your body with whatever is beneath you. So, Thank you for your time today. And now, I want you to feel the connection of your body with whatever is beneath you. Whatever emotion has been most present for you. Whatever emotion has been coming up for you. And as you breathe in, Feel within your body where that emotion is being held. And your physical body is always responding to where we are emotionally. Whether it's fear or worry, Joy or happiness. And be present where you feel that. It can be tingling sensations in your body. It can be feelings of openness, Wherever the energy is stored right now. And breathe in to those physical space in your body where you feel that emotion. And as you breathe in, Breathe into that part. And as you breathe out, Release. So often we have pain. We have worry, We have overwhelm. And we try to avoid it. Just as we might try to avoid the physical pain. So what I want you to do is that I want you to feel where that is in your body. I want you to acknowledge it. Know that it's okay that it's there. And then I want you to breathe into that space. I want you to fill it up. And then as you breathe out, Release. Breathe in. Maybe hold it for a second or two if that feels good. And release. Bring your attention and focus to where that physical manifestation is in your body. Focus on it. Open up that space. Open it up wide. And then let it go. And then as you breathe in, Release. And as you breathe out, Keep breathing here. Maybe that space moves. Maybe there's another space of tension in your body. Maybe there's tension in your shoulders or your neck. Wherever that is for you right now. And then as you breathe out, Hold that breath and let it go. Our emotions are safe to feel. It is in the feeling and in the acknowledging of what is happening to us. Whatever is happening to us. And when we take the space. To feel it in our physical body. We're doing that emotionally as well. So, Breathing in deep. Take a moment. Take a real big deep breath in here. And as you breathe out, I want you to sigh it out. Another big deep breath in. And sigh it out. Releasing all of that, All of that tension, All of that worry. And just as we started our practice. Redirect your focus. To grounding your body to the surface you are on. Connecting yourself to the earth below you. The earth that is always there. Always stable. Always there to hold you up. Breathing in. And breathing down, Grounding into the earth. And as we come to a close. Start to bring some movement back into your body. Wiggling your fingers wiggling your toes. And when you're ready you can blink your eyes open nice and slow. Taking these next few moments. To start to learn. To read. To write. Whatever may have come up with. For you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
