Shake out your hands,
Open and close your mouth a little bit,
Shake your head a little bit.
You can roll your shoulders.
If you feel safe to do so,
You can take some really deep breaths.
This is a place where you get to authentically explore going inward and starting to ground.
So you don't have to hit a perfect mark,
But you can start to close down your eyes using your breath to bring you into present moment,
Being friendly with yourself.
So as you enter into an authentic,
Curious,
Even playful relationship with yourself in present time.
If it feels good to you,
You can let out a sigh.
You can drop your head and neck forward and start to bring your head back.
Noticing the quality of your breath,
Noticing the quality of your connection and being friendly with yourself.
If thoughts come up,
That's okay.
You can simply just release them and come back to focusing on my voice and come back to focusing on your deep internal experience.
We're going to start this meditation by imagining,
Sensing,
Or feeling a big,
Beautiful bubble above our head.
You can make this bubble a bright golden tone.
You can invite this bubble to pour down into your body,
Into your head,
Into your brain,
Into your jaw,
Like honey in a cup.
Receiving this spaciousness,
Receiving permission to open up and receive.
Pouring this gold all the way down to the tips of your toes and all the way deep inside yourself.
Tonight,
We're going to ground ourselves with a big,
Beautiful oak tree,
Like the ones that we see in Topanga Canyon or Temescal,
With a big,
Thick trunk and a wide,
Beautiful arbor.
Imagine this big,
Beautiful tree connecting to the base of your spine in all of its majesty,
Reaching down through all the layers and the textures and the frequency of the earth until it connects in with the center of the planet.
You can see this big,
Beautiful oak tree have an enormous system of roots rooting into the center of the earth.
Qualities of this tree can be strong,
Can be wise,
And also flexible.
And breathe.
Notice some extra gravity in your lower belly,
In your lower back.
And start to shed any physical,
Emotional,
Mental tension that you're ready to release down and out your grounding cord,
Letting the earth make compost of it.
Breathing as you do so.
Notice if your heart can soften,
If your throat can soften.
Notice if the center of your head can soften,
If the back of your eyes can soften,
If your jaw and even your teeth.
And breathe as you do this.
Say hello to the quality of the earth energy that you would like to invite in.
This oak tree is large and beautiful and brilliant.
It holds both the wisdom of an ancient being and the newness of a fresh bud.
And allow this quality to support you.
Noticing how that energy resides within you.
Noticing how those qualities reside within you.
And bring your awareness to your belly and just say hello to your center for creative energy.
And say hello to your center for healing energy.
And just tune in.
How is your healing energy doing?
How is your creative energy doing?
And breathe as you bring awareness to this.
Perhaps your healing energy is on overdrive.
You might be healing the whole world through your whole little body.
Even while you sleep.
And that's okay.
Many of us gathered here this evening are healers.
But for this time while we're together,
You have permission to draw your healing energy inward.
We're going to replenish our healing energy together before we send it out into the world.
It is a great practice to start to understand how and where to direct our own healing energy.
So gently and lovingly invite your healing energy inward to replenish itself.
Allow it to start to dance and move and be calm inside your own body,
Inside your own being.
And allow your own healing energy to go to any places in your physical body where you need to heal yourself.
And if it feels good to you,
Meet your own healing energy with some deep gratitude saying thank you for this quality.
Saying thank you for the opportunity to have full access to your own healing energy,
For the permission to love and accept the beauty of your own healing.
And we're going to allow ourselves to continue to be deeply grounded,
Deeply connected,
Deeply supported by the earth and by our own healing energy.
Bring your awareness upwards into the center of your head.
Let the center of your head have some space.
Notice if there's been any hyperactive analyzing or fix it energy and just simply give yourself a little break.
You can drop all of that for this moment,
Just let it drop down and out.
And start to say hello to the hillsides and the communities of Los Angeles,
The familiar places and the places that you love to go be outdoors in Los Angeles if you've been here.
If you've seen it in the news or if you have your own beautiful place you like to go,
Let's imagine a beautiful place in nature.
And for the moment,
You can imagine it after a great fire.
You can stand there and see what it looks like with the ash and the black.
And I'd like for you to imagine a seed in all of that darkness.
And see this seed green and gold,
Bright and brilliant and full of potential.
See it having exactly what it needs to thrive even in this space that seems so unlikely.
And say hello to this seed.
And imagine taking some water and watering the seed ever so gently.
You can see the water pour down onto the seed.
You can bless the water and have gratitude for the water and you can bless the seed and have gratitude for the seed.
And see the seeds start to take root and start to unfurl and start to open up and sprout.
See your plant start to get tall enough that it can offer shade to the animals and food to the animals.
See the seed become so large that it is a big,
Beautiful,
Blossoming plant.
And as you look out,
Notice that all around you,
The hill,
The canyon,
The mountain has replenished.
See this great growth and feel the reflection of this great growth in your heart and in your body and in your mind.
Take a moment to feel gratitude for what is possible.
Acknowledge your capacity to hold all of it,
To look at the darkness and to see the potential,
To hold space for the grief and simultaneously hold space for what is already emerging.
And over the place where you stand,
See big,
Beautiful,
Puffy clouds and a nice,
Gentle rain.
Take comfort in the harmony and the rebalancing.
Take comfort in the new generations of plants and animals that are being born.
And take a breath as you pull your attention back even further and see the communities being built in a totally different way.
Seeing our communities harmonize in a way where there is enough for everyone,
Where we work together,
Where there is simply no lack of resources.
Pull back again and see these new channels of support,
Of communication,
See solar panels and water capture and gray water systems and gardens,
See a complete end of food scarcity,
See gatherings where all are welcome,
And pull back again and see these systems,
These natural systems,
All working together.
Seeing a system of global peace,
Of love,
Seeing a world where nobody is less valuable than another,
Where no animal is less valuable than another.
And pull back again and see the end of deforestation,
See plants and trees being planted in the Amazon,
See deserts being turned back into great forests,
See the whales having space to be free,
See the air being clean,
See our whole world being loved as it should be.
And hold this vision and let yourself vibrate at the sensation that you would feel living in this world.
Let yourself vibrate as a free,
Truly free,
Creative,
Loving human being,
Working in harmony,
Being supported.
Let yourself feel that feeling completely through your whole system.
And take some deep breaths here,
Showing your DNA what this feels like.
Healing yourself completely forwards and backwards through space and time,
Healing your lineage,
Healing humanity in this moment.
Give yourself this space.
Let it start inside of you.
Be gentle and kind with yourself as you learn to walk in this vibration,
As we all learn to walk in this vibration.
Beautiful.
And you can let out a sigh if that feels good.
And you can give yourself another big golden bubble above your head,
Replenishing yourself completely,
Pouring this gold,
This neutrality,
This new permission,
The seniority into your physical body,
Into your energy body,
All the way down to the tips of your toes and all the way deep inside.
And notice as you move through these days,
If you need more replenishment,
You can always take in fresh,
Clean energy.
You can always ground.
These are yours.
These are your tools as a child of this earth.
Beautiful.
You can tip your head forward a little bit.
You can stretch a little bit.
Feel free to stay pretty internal if you want to,
If you need to slide into more quietude or slip into bed.
I will be here again next Monday.
I'm going to be doing this on Monday nights,
Free for all.
I will continue to share it out.
But on Monday nights,
We'll come together and we'll continue to heal.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions,
Thoughts,
Ideas.
And it was such a pleasure sitting with you this week.
And I look forward to Monday and I'm sending you all a lot of love.
Letting it pour down into your space.
