Find a comfortable posture.
Seated,
Lying down,
Standing up.
If you are lying down feel the contact of your body with the surface you are resting upon.
Seeing in your mind's eye the imprint of your body,
All of the beautiful intricacies of your skeleton.
If you are seated make sure that all of your toes and the ball of your foot and your heel are all fully on the ground and that your sitz bones are resting with your spine unfurling up to the heavens flowing like a river.
With a gentle lifting up from the ox foot which is a bump you can feel at the back of your skull.
Gently lifting you up like there's a balloon at the top which slightly tilts the chin in just a little bit and roll the shoulders back letting them drop down releasing any tension.
Letting the breath come in and out easily.
The tongue touches the roof of the mouth connecting the sea of yin to the sea of yang.
If you are standing again make sure that the big toe the little toe and the heel are all touching the ground keeping the knees soft and never locked.
The backside slightly tucked in and just breathe feeling how the structure of posture allows for energy to flow freely within the body naturally following the courses of meridians and bring your attention to the space about three finger widths below the belly button the lower energy center.
Just noticing sensation maybe the breath deep in the lower belly and bringing awareness to the heart space around the sternum noticing sensation there the middle energy center or dan tian and bringing your awareness into your crown the beautiful energy center within the home of your pineal gland hypothalamus pituitary so much glory the neurons branching and beautiful trees and roots just aware and coming to notice the space slightly above the eyebrows in the center line tianmu heavenly eye point also known as the crystal palace and noticing a light bridge connecting this point to the North Star and the Big Dipper the spiritual source feeling yourself connected across time space whether the Sun is out or not you are connected and opening the gates here to allow starlight to enter the crystal palace filling bathing and permeating this upper energy center with starlight that overflows as you grant it permission down your neck past your wonderful thyroid and parathyroid glands there is more than enough you aren't sipping it on the inhale it wants to bless and support you all that it is waiting for is permission so we are not commanding but simply allowing as this North Star light bathes fills and permeates the middle where the heart and lungs and thymus are filling you up with this light that also begins to pour all the way down into the lower energy center blessing along the way your spleen stomach and pancreas your liver gallbladder intestines kidneys urinary bladder reproductive organs all of this glorious space is filling up with North Star light and in the presence of this illumination stagnation and internalized depression I would add has no place and this light radiates down your arms and your legs all the way to your toes and breaking out in shafts through your pores and out into the field of energy around two feet in front of behind above below and at all sides of you clearing the way in front of it for any of that energies behaviors soma pain in your soma somatized emotions to be pushed out and evaporated just allowing this to happen again not pushing it or willing it but permitting it on your own sacred consent allowing this powerful energy to bless you and becoming aware of the perineum this deep deep Yin place at the base of the body way in deepest Yin underneath the body near the orifices connecting to the earth and just breathe there breathe with awareness there only if you feel safe to do so and becoming aware of how this deepest Yin within your own body is connecting you to the Yin of the earth and feel yourself rooted and connected can you perceive and feel yourself connected in a tether not a tie not anything that is coercive but a beautiful just bond between your body and the center of this planet how gravity is holding you just right not too tight so that you would be smooshed like a pancake and unable to move and also not too loose that you might be released out into space away from the nourishment of this soil but just right a healthy not codependent relationship and feel that tether longing to give to you all of the nourishment and support that you need just as earth does so for all of the plants in the animal kingdom we all turn to plants who get their first nourishment from the earth itself so allow that root that tap root to give you nourishment again just like the heavens permitting it to pour through you reaching up along your center line past the pelvis past the heart past the crown out to the highest point upon your skull just as the mighty trees the sequoias and the redwoods the banyan trees all reach upwards to the heavens longing to dance with the stars feel that yin earth energy loving you and loving the heavens and wanting to reach through you to the heavens and in reciprocity at that beautiful point at the top of your crown aware of the celestial energy of the 28 Taoist constellations of the North Star in particular and the planets all longing to come down to earth it is reciprocal feeling that celestial energy longing to come through you and so allowing from by way the crown point the hundred meeting point for that celestial starry heavenly energy to pour it down from the heavens through you with this inspiration and vitality and transcendence and glory and majesty yang chi pouring down from the heavens past your spiritual center through your heart through your emotional center down through your deep deep generative reproductive area and into the soil and you are channel and feel yourself deeply deeply connected vertically rooted in the yin below and also rooted in the yang above connected and plugged in to infinite sources of energy that have more than enough to help you meet the challenges of your time and feel in your heart center at the middle of the crossroads as this yin is flowing up and the yang is flowing down loving you and cleansing and healing you along the way from your heart center feel and see and sense yourself connected outwards horizontally to all of the your loved ones across space-time incarnate or on the other side and feel the love that binds you to all of the beings that we know and beings that we don't know of across this planet in a constellation web the universal energy net as watching me says and feel the power and the glory of all of that love the collective power collective wisdom collective love not in isolation not a lone wolf or a lone inventor but part of the whole integrated with all living beings in all of the intersecting biomes and ecosystems feeling yourself fully in relationship to the web of life deeply restored to belonging you belong on this planet you belong on earth you are supposed to be here you are supposed to be here the wisdom of your own innate connection to the spirit world coursing down from heavens above through you the wisdom of your own divine birthright connection to your body to the knowing in your pelvis of what you love and who you are in your gender and sexuality is that your birthright of power chi vitality and life force the deep storehouse of the lower dantian knows who you are knows who you love and that is the truth not any outside projection thrown upon you and your unique and innate birthright tethering you to this planet is not this the pathological manifest destiny we don't have any claim to stolen land but you and I and all of us do belong on this planet you belong on earth because you are here you have been given permission because you are breathing and there have been so many miraculous almost close calls where you could have not been but you are here and you are supposed to be so take a few deep breaths in your belonging belonging belonging belonging feeling yourself connected and slowly bring your awareness back to your energy center gathering energy in that luminous center within your crown and bringing awareness to your heart center gathering energy there and gathering energy in the deepest storehouse of all below the lower belly filling yourself up with a cauldron of gold ah maybe fluttering your eyes open and wiggling your fingers and toes biting down on the teeth gently and swirling around any saliva that might have gathered this is Jade dew heavenly elixir and so in a Taoist tradition we would swallow that down to the lower Dan Tian the lower energy center with intention swallowing three times and rub your hands together generating Qi life force animation and place them over your eyes which connect back down to your heart inhaling that Qi to third eye to your heart center on your exhale rubbing the hands again generating more Qi and covering your eyes waking up your physical eyes to meet the day or the night to meet your worldly life and return gently to your body knowing that you always belong and you were always connected whether or not you remember you're always connected to the stars the moon the Sun the North Star and all sentient beings
