Let's begin. Let's begin by finding a comfortable way to be in the body. A way where you feel supported completely and wholly by whatever is below you. Let's invite the energy of settling into the body. What does it feel like when you invite your body to settle? Maybe settling is a deep sigh. Maybe settling is becoming aware of gravity, Of accepting the Earth's invitation to be held. Let's see if we can become aware of gravity in the feet, Ankles, In the shins, Abs, Gravity on the knees, And in the thighs, All the way into the hips feeling gravity soften the body. The more we trust that the earth will hold us, The more we allow the body to soften into it. Noticing gravity in the low back, Rib cage, The mid back, Shoulder blades. Notice how when we give our shoulder blades over to gravity, We encourage the chest to open skyward, Letting shoulders settle, Expanding through the chest, Letting arms, Hands, Wrists be held. And can we trust in this moment that the earth will hold the head, The full weight of the head settle downward. Can we soften the neck, The jaw, The cheeks, The eyebrows, The forehead. How deeply can you allow the body to rest on the earth's surface. We can tell the body in this moment to deepen our level of trust. I am safe. There's nothing to hold on to. Let's bring our awareness to the heart center. Breathing in through the back of the body and pausing in this expanse we've created before breathing out through the front of the heart. And see if you can notice as you breathe in the space between the inhale and the exhale the energy of the heart. What does it feel like to be in the stillness of the heart space? What can I feel in the space between the breath? Letting every breath renew deeper and deeper into this present moment. Breathing into the heart center. I am here. See if you can notice the quality of your breath as you breathe through the heart. Letting the breaths be slow and deep. Every breath savored like a delicious sip of oxygen. Let's see if we can become aware in this moment of just how miraculous it is to be alive. Body breathing. What else can you become aware of in your body in this moment? How quiet can you be while you observe the body? How calm and focused can you stay? Can you become aware of the energy of your body? Maybe the space around the body where the electric you exists? Can you sense the opening at the base of the spine? Can you become aware of the energy flow through the top of the head? Let's see if we can become aware of the movement of energy through the body. The body carries a charge. Bringing our awareness down to that connection with the earth. Energy flow through the body. Breathing in, Finding that space of balance between earth and sky. Back to that stillness in the space between the breath. Let's slowly begin to bring our awareness back into the physical body. Noticing hands and feet. Feeling gratitude for how safely they've been held. Let's pause here together in gratitude for this place. For the time spent together and the energy shared.
