Welcome,
This is Heidi Reeves and today we're going to focus on trust.
Trusting deeply.
Trusting ourselves.
Trusting the universe and allowing.
So let's begin.
Take a deep breath in and bring that breath from your toes to your crown.
Hold at the top.
And gently.
Let that breath.
Cascade back down your body.
And do this one more time.
Deep inhale in.
Hold at the top.
And exhale back down the body.
And noticing the natural rhythm of your breath.
The rise and fall of your chest and your belly.
And gently allowing your eyelids to close.
And as you follow your breath,
Feeling yourself.
Deeply settling in.
As you breathe in,
Expanding.
And as you breathe out,
Settling deeply into the chair.
.
.
Into the earth.
And to what's supporting you.
So today,
As we begin our journey with trust.
.
.
Taking a moment to consider in our lives where we have a tight hold on things.
Where we button everything up.
The place where we.
.
.
Are gripping.
In our lives.
This may be in a place where we feel some fear or lack of control.
Maybe it works.
We're at home.
With our children.
Imagine.
This place where we're holding on.
So tightly.
At times it's hard to take a full breath.
And imagine using your breath.
To create some space around the situation.
Using your breath on the inhale to create expansiveness.
And on the exhale,
Imagine releasing.
That control.
Inhale… expansiveness.
And as you exhale,
Releasing control.
Let's do this for a minute together.
Inhale expansiveness.
And exhale,
Control.
I'll watch the time and I'll bring you back with my voice.
Inhale expansiveness.
And exhale control.
And you may drift during this time.
That's natural.
Just bring yourself back to your breath.
Expansion and releasing control.
Take a deep breath in,
Expanding.
And exhale out,
Releasing,
Control,
And allowing.
Notice the difference.
When you create some space and bring awareness.
Two breaths.
And know that You can come back to this meditation,
To this breath.
Anytime that you feel that you're holding on to tightly.
To something or someone.
And allowing yourself to create a little space.
With your breath.
With your attention.
Feeling yourself settle as you do so.
Taking one more deep breath in,
Bring that breath from your toes to your crown.
Hold at the very top.
And exhale back down your body.
And when you're ready,
Gently blinking your eyes open.
Coming back.
Into this time and place.
And I hope you're able to walk with more expansiveness.
To allow trust in to your day.
And to walk a little steadier in this place.
Thank you for joining me.
