Welcome to your meditation practice.

Let's get seated and comfortable as we deepen into a practice of receiving from the heart ensuring that you are fully comfortable in your seat allowing yourself to be held receiving the support of your space and the ground underneath you checking in with your body to notice if you're holding any tension doing a little body scan from the top relaxing your temples,

Jaw,

Neck allowing your shoulders to relax coming down relaxing your upper back as well as in your chest diaphragm,

Belly relaxing your hips,

Buttocks,

Thighs down to your knees just noticing and relaxing anything that you're holding fully dropping into your body in a relaxed state beautiful and now moving to your mind,

Body,

Mind noticing if you have any tabs open from your day from your week from your life just like internet browsers that we tend to keep open thinking we will come back to them every mental tab that we keep open takes up energy and disables us from bringing our full present self to the now moment so just with your mind's eye closing out any tabs,

Thoughts,

Conversations,

To-do lists,

Schedules that you need to close so that you can fully be present for yourself in this practice knowing fully that you can come back to any necessary tab in the future outside of this moment and as you click and close these tabs imagine and feel into more and more of you coming back beautiful and now our final step into relaxing into this meditation practice really allowing ourselves to drop in so that we can experience the deepest connection to our hearts to receiving body,

Mind,

Soul is our breath taking a deep breath through your nose at your own pace and out from your mouth another nice deep breath in from your nose and one more deep breath in from your nose holding your breath for a couple of seconds and exhaling through your mouth letting out a big sigh or whatever needs to come out dropping in fully into yourself spine is erect in this practice allowing maximum life force to move through tongue resting at the upper roof of your mouth right behind your front teeth and let's start to breathe into our heart center breathing into the heart center just by your intention activating this center and allowing your inhale to get a little longer as you breathe to whatever degree feels good as you breathe into this center expanding your ability to receive really focusing on and as I take you through some simple contemplations to reflect on your life continue breathing into your heart center at your own pace and I will continue to remind you if you lose track you just come back to your breath breathing into your heart we often often especially as conscious human beings become very focused on giving many of us if not all of us also run a very deep program that giving is better than receiving this is a program that is often embedded in us from a young age through our families culture,

Community breathing into your heart but the truth is that we must breathe in as much as we breathe out everything in nature is in balance waves crash in and out in perfect harmony giving and receiving and as you breathe into your heart center I invite you to imagine that with every breath you take inward your heart your heart center lights up even more that with every breath you take inward the energy in your heart starts to compound and multiply fueling it expanding this beautiful heart center so that it can activate its light and as you continue to breathe in to your heart center with a focus on inward breath on receiving energy into yourself into your heart you are invited to think about where in your life have you stopped giving to yourself where could you give more to yourself what is it that your body your soul your heart craves more of is it time?

Is it space?

Is it rest?

Is it all the above?

Is it music?

Is it dance?

Where is your self looking to return back into deeper balance breathing in into your heart with the focus on receiving and gently breathing out from your heart you're invited to consider any limiting thought way of being that ever contends with this desire to have more for yourself what are the objections that come up when you contemplate giving yourself more of that time and now instead of contending with that thought I wish to ask you this what is the cost to you to your loved ones to your mission if you were not to take this time out for yourself and are you willing to pay that price where can you start to carve out more receiving for yourself just from you giving it to yourself not even needing it from anyone outside of yourself giving yourself permission to receive from yourself from life so that you can bring yourself back into a beautiful harmony and as we breathe in and out of our heart center tuning into your heart literally visualizing or feeling into your heart center take a moment to notice any barriers around your heart center sometimes they look like picket fences or black hockey tape or an entire wall of armor sometimes it's a feeling of having something blocked there and the most powerful question we can ask when we're in this center is am I allowing or am I blocking and just feeling into that for a moment and as we breathe in and out of our heart center many of us are partially blocking in this center allowing some light some love into our hearts and out from there allowing some love to flow in and out of our hearts and as we breathe in and out of our heart center just notice are you allowing or are you blocking and if you feel any block you can just with your intention and decision relax into the center and allow more and with your breath in and out into your heart center start to feel these blocks release to whatever degree feels comfortable today imagining that with every breath in you are allowing more and more light love to enter this center imagining that with every breath this center is growing brighter breathing with a focus on receiving today noticing how that feels even perhaps thoughts or feelings of being uncomfortable at the thought of receiving more for yourself all of this we want to bring to our awareness remembering that the cost of ever forgetting ourselves is just way too high and in truth doesn't actually serve anyone in the way that your big heart wishes to serve and so this permission that you're giving yourself to come back to homeostasis in your heart center equal parts love for yourself for your needs for your desires for your preferences and equal parts for those of others is really a beautiful place for us all to land when you are powerfully charged up full energy mind body soul when you are in full alignment you are more powerful than you think than a million who are not i invite you to place your hands on your heart center and just give yourself a moment of thank you of gratitude for taking this time for yourself to come back into greater balance by receiving as much as you're giving remembering that we always place the oxygen mask on ourselves first i am sending you so much love thank you for being here today just by you being here and taking this time you are truly making not only your life but the entire world a better place we'll see you next time
