In this meditation, we work with Your Spot, a physical or emotional area of the body that has been holding too much or neglected, a place that could use some care, acknowledgment, and attention. Train your interoception, a crucial step in allowing emotions to express and move on instead of spiral and fester, causing dis-ease. For the most powerful results, try using this practice daily for 7 days, or at the beginning and end of your week. Consistency is key...

Today's practice,

10-breath liberation.

Find a sustainable,

Supportive position that allows your spine to be straight.

This could be sitting down or laying flat.

If you choose to sit,

Make sure your back has something to lean into.

If you begin to feel lightheaded at any moment,

Pause.

Allow yourself to lay down,

Letting the earth that supports the building,

That supports the floor,

Rise up to support you.

Let's begin.

If you're able,

Close your eyes.

Otherwise,

Bring your gaze downward until it finds a natural resting place.

Pick a spot that could use some attention today.

This could be a physical spot,

A place of tension in your body,

Or an emotional spot.

Where are you gripping,

Holding on tightly,

Straining?

Choose your spot in the next few breaths.

Now take a full belly breath in.

Send it to your spot.

Give it some air,

Helping it move to become more spacious,

Liberated.

If you could give your spot a voice,

What would it say?

What is it asking for?

Take a few moments to listen and see what comes up.

It could be a thought.

It could be a feeling or sensation.

Take your time.

Now,

Slowly,

Let's take a full lung capacity breath in.

Expanding belly,

Side ribs,

Front of chest,

Back of chest,

And hold at the top for four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Release.

Gently squeezing your tummy,

Getting all the breath out.

Deep breath in,

Expanding your capacity.

Hold,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Release.

All the way out,

Everything out.

Deep breath in to your spot.

And hold,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Release.

Gently squeezing your tummy,

Enlivening your core,

Connecting to center.

Deep breath in.

Hold,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Release.

Deep breath in.

Hold,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Release.

Deep breath in.

Hold,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Release.

Deep breath in.

And hold,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Release.

Deep breath in.

Hold,

Four,

Three,

Two,

And one.

Release.

Deep breath in.

Hold.

Hold,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Release.

Last one.

Deep breath in for your spot.

Hold,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

And release.

Bring some movement back to your body.

Take your time getting up.

Be gentle with yourself.

If you'd like to take a few quick notes on your spot,

Where it was located,

What it had to say,

Do so now.

Enjoy.
