Hi,
My name is Shannon Algeo.
I am a psychotherapist,
An author,
And a meditation teacher.
And this is a practice to reclaim the power in your hands from swiping and scrolling and from all the digital fatigue that comes from this technological age of which we are all a part.
We are going to focus on bringing the powerful and potent attention back to your own hands.
What are you here to create?
And what are you here to hold and steward?
So go ahead and close your eyes.
And let's start by bringing the palms to face down on the thighs or the knees.
And we'll begin by.
.
.
Attuning to our own inner ecology.
The remembrance that we are nature and there is a natural world.
Within the three cubic feet of our own bodies.
Nervous systems,
The.
.
.
Respiration,
Circulation.
The muscular skeletal.
All of the blood flow and connective tissues.
Taking three breaths to relax.
Bring your conscious awareness to the power and potency of the billions of cells in the body right now.
As you breathe here,
Bring the awareness to the navel center,
The solar plexus,
The belly.
Take a couple of deep breaths into the belly.
And as you feel the fire in your belly,
Notice if you can bring your attention to.
.
.
The sensation,
The aliveness.
The nerves in your hands and in your fingers.
Feeling the insides of your fingers and your hands.
Imagine getting so still that you could listen.
And feel and sense.
Just with your hands.
And as you feel your hands and this aliveness,
This sensation inside of the hands,
Notice if you can then bring your attention back to your belly.
Feeling the sensation.
In the solar plexus again.
Perhaps it feels different now.
And now notice if you can bring your attention to both the solar plexus and the sensations within the hands.
Now from here,
We're going to bring the hands almost together to touch,
But not quite.
As if you were holding a fire,
A sun between the hands.
And then eventually let the fingers almost touch until each of the fingertips finds its opposite.
Partner.
And then bring the palms to press together.
Feel this.
Powerful prayer.
This remembrance of the power and potency in your own two hands may you be a steward.
Of the creative power that lies within you.
Taking a deep breath into the whole body.
Exhaling,
Bowing to yourself.
Into your practice.
Thank you so much for joining in this practice with me.
