Today,

Our focus is upon the articulation of the torso,

In another segment of the torso.

This is best practiced seated.

You can be on the edge of a firm chair,

You can be seated on a block.

And if you cannot be seated,

You still can choose standing with your feet parallel,

Or lying down.

Begin to breathe through your nose,

And connect a line of energy from the base of your tailbone,

Down into the core of the earth.

Imagine the size of the core of the earth,

The heat in the lava,

And draw that heat back through the cord,

Up the center line of your body,

To the crown of your head.

Expand the back of your heart,

And feel connected to the sky.

Create space at the back of your skull,

And connect to the sky from there.

Remember that this mantra is calling upon the divine feminine energy within you,

Of the highest strength and protective capacity.

Soften your breath.

Today as you inhale,

You'll expand the low ribs in the back,

Create space in the lumbar spine,

And reach the tailbone toward the base of the pelvis.

All as you initiate your inhale.

Try to move these bones in the spine with the inhale.

Release the exhale up the center line of the body.

And this breath is best practiced as a very gentle sip of air through your nose.

Use your imagination,

Light visualization.

Try to be sensitive to the pelvis rebalancing with the exhale.

Be supported by the grounding cord,

Still charging at the core of the earth.

Once again,

The inhale expands the low ribs in the back,

Creates space between the lumbar vertebra,

And the tip of the tailbone reaches toward the base of the pelvis.

All for the inhale.

All gently.

Let the exhale move naturally up the center line of the body.

Return to a normal breath,

Breathing through your nose.

One more time,

We'll return to initiating the inhale at the low ribs in the back,

Expanding there first.

Letting that expansion push down on the lumbar spine,

Where we expand space between the vertebra,

Letting that push the tailbone down toward the base of the pelvis,

Where we allow it to extend.

The inside surface of the tailbone can soften and expand.

Gently release the exhale up the center line of the body.

Remember that you're softly sipping in the air,

And that the action is very light.

Essentially in the imagination,

Using the power of your visualization.

Return to a normal breath,

And breathe on.

We are one.
