Welcome.
This is a space for deep remembering,
A space to return to the parts of yourself that have been kept apart,
Not by fault or failure,
But by protection,
By history,
By tenderness.
In today's meditation,
We explore the heart-pelvis split,
A very real,
Very common divide in the body,
Where love and longing live in separate rooms,
Where our vulnerability and our aliveness are not always allowed to touch.
This split might show up in relationships,
Where it's hard to feel safe being both tender and passionate,
Or in our sense of self,
Where emotional intimacy is strong,
But instinctual trust or desire is blocked.
Or it may be in creativity,
Where inspiration flows from the heart,
But fizzles before it becomes embodied action.
There's nothing wrong with you if you experience this.
There is wisdom in this split,
But there's also freedom in gently bridging it.
So this practice is here to support you in sensing that divide,
Noticing where love and power have been severed,
And breathing a bridge back between them.
We're not forcing anything open,
We're offering invitation,
Curiosity,
Compassion,
And space.
So let's begin.
Take a moment to find a comfortable posture.
You may choose to lie down or sit upright.
Whatever allows your body to relax while staying aware.
Allow your eyes to soften or gently close.
Allow your hands to rest,
Maybe one hand over your heart,
One over your belly or pelvis.
And begin to bring awareness to your breath.
Noticing its natural rhythm.
Just watch it,
The inhale,
The exhale.
No need to change it yet.
Just arrive.
Let your body know we are here now.
It's safe to slow down.
Begin to feel the weight of your body.
Where it touches the ground.
Where it's being held.
Let yourself drop into support.
Let the ground beneath you become part of the meditation.
Let your body land.
We'll start by gently bringing awareness to your heart and pelvis as two separate centers.
First,
Bring your attention to your heart center.
The space in the center of your chest.
You may place a hand there if it helps you feel more connected.
And notice any sensations that arise.
What's the tone of this space right now?
Do you feel warmth?
Openness?
Tightness?
Guarding?
Is it quiet?
Busy?
Tender?
There's no right or wrong,
Just awareness.
So take a few slow breaths here.
Inhale.
I welcome what I find.
Exhale.
I allow space for my heart.
Now shift your attention down to your pelvis.
The root of your body.
Your hips,
Your lower belly.
Your sexual and instinctual center.
Again,
Place a hand here if that helps you connect.
And just notice what's here.
Do you sense energy?
Stillness?
Tension?
Numbness?
A desire to move?
This space may feel less known or even forbidden.
That's okay.
And gently breathe into your pelvis.
Inhaling,
I feel my base.
Exhaling,
I allow space for my power.
Now bring your attention to the space between these two centers.
The midline of your body.
From chest to diaphragm.
Belly,
Pelvis.
Can you feel the space between them?
Can you sense the relationship between heart and pelvis?
Does the energy feel like it flows freely between the two?
Or is there a block?
A numbness?
A constriction or tightness in the belly or diaphragm?
Just notice.
This is not about fixing.
It's about feeling.
Gently.
Slowly.
Kindly.
Now,
Imagine that your heart and pelvis are two glowing centers of light.
Your heart shines with tenderness,
Compassion,
Connection.
Your pelvis pulses with instinct,
Desire,
Aliveness.
And between them you may see or sense a kind of mist or fog.
A zone of confusion,
Separation.
The place where the flow between these centers gets disrupted.
You might imagine that this mist has been here for a long time.
A protective veil placed there by your system to keep you safe.
It served a purpose.
You can thank it.
And now you might whisper,
I am willing to feel what lives in between.
I am willing to bring love into this space.
And now we'll begin to breathe a gentle bridge between heart and pelvis.
Inhale,
Draw breath down from your heart through your belly to your pelvis.
Exhale,
Rise back up from pelvis through belly into heart.
And let the breath become a wave moving down.
And then rising up.
You don't have to imagine it perfectly,
Just feel the rhythm.
This is the body remembering.
Inhale,
Heart to pelvis.
Exhale,
Pelvis to heart.
As you breathe this loop,
Feel what it's like to let these two parts of you communicate again.
To let love and instinct touch.
To let vulnerability and power coexist.
With each breath,
The divide softens.
There's nothing to force.
Only breath.
Only presence.
Only return.
And keep breathing this bridge for the next couple of minutes.
I'll keep time silently.
Just stay with the wave.
If you lose the rhythm,
Gently return.
If emotion arises,
Allowing it,
Welcoming it.
If numbness shows up,
Honor it.
Let your body lead.
And let the breath settle now,
Letting go of the pattern.
And simply rest.
Let everything settle.
And feel the whole line of your body from your heart to your pelvis,
To the ground beneath you.
Can you feel that something has shifted?
Even subtly?
You may whisper,
It is safe to love and to want.
It is safe to feel and to move.
It is safe to be whole.
Feel the power of being connected.
Not fragmented.
Not performing.
But whole.
And let yourself rest in that wholeness.
Let your body receive the truth that there's nothing wrong with you.
There is only a reconnection unfolding.
Begin to gently bring your awareness back to the space you're in.
Feel the surface beneath you.
The air around you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Maybe gently roll your shoulders or stretch.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Take a final breath.
Inhaling,
I am here.
Exhaling,
I am whole.
You may return to this practice any time you feel torn,
Cut off or frozen.
This isn't about doing it right,
It's about remembering your wholeness.
Again and again.
Thank you for practicing with me today.
