And so I encourage you to settle in.
To the space that you're in.
Close your eyes.
If you feel safe and secure to do so.
Begin to notice your inhales and exhales as you breathe life force energy out In through the nose.
Witnessing your body in space.
Seeing if you can straighten your spine so you feel alignment between the base of your spine as it meets the earth,
And the crown of your head.
As it's pointed towards the heavens.
Noticing your alignment,
The alignment of your spine.
And noticing the flow of your breath.
Is you pour.
As the earth pours.
Life force energy from the trees in to you.
Life force.
Light.
Our life force is like this beautiful light energy.
That moves through.
Her body.
Our body,
Which is like a vessel.
For energy for light,
For life force.
Continuing to notice the breath.
Feeling held by the earth.
This deeper.
Awareness of life.
And the preciousness of life.
And as you breathe.
Maybe you place some hands onto your heart space.
Witnessing the breath as it moves in through.
Your nose.
And down through your heart.
And all the way down to the base of the spine.
Noticing your heartbeat.
Noticing the connection.
Happening within you.
Connected to everything outside of you.
And if the mind is getting chatty.
Or it feels uncomfortable to sit.
And stillness.
Can we offer some space?
For the discomfort.
Because this is typically the discomfort that we feel.
In the darkness and the uncertainty.
This feeling of waiting for something that we don't know what is.
Because what is,
Is this moment.
We are on the path here and now.
In this moment.
Continuing to inhale through the nose all the way through the body.
And witness the flow of life force.
The return of light.
Knowing that even though we have this point in time of winter solstice,
Of summer solstice,
Of spring,
Summer,
Fall,
And winter,
We always have our internal seasons of life too.
That are also mirrored in the natural world.
And can we soak up?
The life that is here now.
Just like we don't beg the sun.
To rise earlier.
We don't call the light faster.
The light comes.
To meet the dark when it's time.
When it's time for illumination.
When it's time for truth.
And illusion to be broken.
And so maybe as we.
Come to the end of the practice.
Ask yourself.
What is?
Wanting or needing.
To be illuminated in your life.
What needs to be illuminated?
Before what you hold with your deepest intention.
Is delivered.
And as you breathe,
And you sip in these last few breaths of.
Life force here together in community.
Honor the space that you're in.
Honor,
The coming of light and also the uncertainty and the discomfort.
Knowing that there's nothing wrong.
There's no problem to solve.
It's all simply part of the cycle of life.
And.
.
.
You can begin to wiggle your fingers or toes to move your body.
Open your eyes.
And with a grateful heart.
I want to thank all of you for.
.
.
Being in community with me today.
From my heart to yours.
I wish you.
A blessed season,
This season,
This holiday,
This celebration.
And also for the season of life that you're in.
May you honor it.
May you be in it fully.
And whatever it brings.
May you allow the renewal to take place within.
No matter how uncomfortable the truth is.
Sending you so much love,
So much light.
Thank you so much for being here.
And I will see you in the new year.
Namaste.
