Namaste,
And thank you for joining me today.
My name is Denise of Sound Awakenings,
And for a few moments,
We will breathe together and sit in the energy of light.
So find a comfortable seated posture,
Feeling strong and comfortable through your seat and long through the spine,
Loose through the shoulders,
Allowing the arms to rest.
Head releases,
Jaw loose.
Feeling the breath at the tip of the nose.
If you can't breathe through the nose today,
No worries.
Breathe as you are able,
But feel the breath coming in and flowing out.
Finding a comfortable pace of the inhale flowing into the exhale.
Being here in this moment and receiving the sound of the bowl,
Allowing the sound to wash away any stresses,
Tensions,
Concerns,
Just for this moment.
Breathe with your breath and the sound,
Feeling safe.
Follow your inhale and your exhale,
And drawing awareness to your heart center,
Feeling the expansiveness of your breath here.
How much of your torso can you feel expand with breath,
Almost becoming a barrel of breath?
The inhale helping to loosen the shoulders,
But expand the chest deep into the belly and the exhale releasing and flowing out.
Play around,
Feel free to stretch a little and move as you find this expansiveness.
We're here,
We explore the image of light.
Feeling steady in your seat and the length through your spine,
Becoming a tower of light.
Just as if you are a hollow tube of light energy,
Radiating from your base out to the top of your head,
A pulsing,
Beautiful,
Strong energy,
The heart,
The center of it.
This light may have a color,
Or it could be gold or white light,
Colorless,
For there is no right or wrong here,
Just sitting in the energy of this light,
The breath enhanced by the radiance of the light,
Relaxing tensions through and around it,
Feeling safe,
Warming energy,
For in this energy,
All is well,
All is strong,
Complete,
Connected,
Balanced and harmonized.
Breathing into this strength,
This harmonization,
This balance,
And we can radiate this energy out to all beings,
The earth,
The universe,
And it's not the matter of doing.
It is just being,
As we sit in this strong,
Natural light energy,
With intention,
We can share it out,
Just through breath and opening,
Allowing this radiance to encourage someone else in this moment,
And we draw this awareness back into our own being,
Into your own breath,
Into your fingers,
And your seat,
Rolling through the shoulders a little bit,
And finding movement through the arms,
As we bring the hands together,
Taking a big inhale,
And a full exhale,
Offering gratitude to yourself for being here,
And I offer you gratitude for being here as well.
Be strong,
Feel alive and light,
And I offer you the beautiful energy of Namaste.
