Welcome,
Welcome to love revolution.
Inviting me to light a flame.
I have all the lights off where I am and it's dark and this is the only light in the room.
This gentle fire.
I always find it extraordinary how it's entirely dark inside the body.
I don't know why I find that strange but I find it strange that there's so many processes,
Organisms,
Organs,
Systems all working in the dark.
All the time.
Just inviting you to turn inwards.
Start noticing your breath.
And how your body is feeling in this moment.
And just seeing what draws your attention.
Or if you're captured by thoughts,
Meanderings of mind.
Just noticing any sensations,
Any textures.
Maybe choosing to really come into the body so.
Maybe noticing the subtleties of the sound of your breath.
Or introducing your own sounds.
Maybe the sound of the air as it moves through your nostrils into your throat.
Maybe you can sense the expansion of your ribs against your inner arms as you're sitting or lying down.
Maybe there's a sense of effort in some parts of your breath and a sense of softness and ease in other parts.
Maybe if you really quieten.
There's a sense of feeling maybe the pulse of your heart.
Maybe a subtler almost like a fluid pulse in the body.
For me this is like an oceanic sense of ebbing and flowing that's on the inside but conversely seems to hold me.
Maybe it's connecting with the texture of your socks,
Your bed covers,
The fabric of your clothing,
The silky softness or the curls of your hair.
Maybe the feel of the lips or the tongue on the lips.
Maybe that strange awareness of how enormous everything is inside of your mouth compared to how it seems elsewhere.
That quietening and that connection with the subtlety of all that's in your system.
Is there anywhere that you would like to invite?
More ease?
Tenderness?
Maybe a soft glow of candlelight?
Anywhere you would like to carry this flame that we light as we connect with each practice?
Anywhere that needs a little illumination or warmth?
Gently Aerate.
