This next part is about being centered.
Now you may have heard people talking about being or feeling centered or about coming back to center.
But what does this really mean?
At the very core of your being,
There's this spark of energy which is you.
It operates within you,
But it's not limited to your physical body.
And some people experience this energy as a light.
Or a colour.
Or a sound or even a voice.
I'm now going to introduce you to a little exercise to get you started.
Just to begin now,
Sitting comfortably in a place where you won't be disturbed for a few minutes.
Gently closing your eyes.
And bringing your awareness within.
Encouraging you to relax your posture now.
Notice anywhere where your weight is out of balance.
And notice anywhere where you are holding tension within your body.
And as you do this,
Just giving permission for that tension to go now and if you need to shaking it out or loosening or muscles and joints.
Awareness to your hand.
Your feet?
To your shoulders.
To your face,
To anywhere else within your body.
Where you recognize now that you're carrying tension,
And as you do this,
Continuing to focus deeper now on your breathing.
Taking a nice slow deep breath in.
And using your out-breath.
As a channel to clear any old or stale or dense energy and you can make a sigh or a out as you breathe out if this helps you to really signal this release to your body.
And now we're bringing awareness to your tummy.
Once more a deeper breath in and as you breathe in allowing your tummy muscles to expand.
Fully like a balloon inflating as you breathe in.
And then as you breathe out,
Fully exhaling as you breathe out and picturing all that old,
Stale energy going as you do so.
All of this bringing you even deeper within now.
To your center.
Bringing your awareness here to your center now and picturing this space within you.
Within your tummy.
Now filling with light as you breathe.
Just sitting for a few more slow breaths in.
In and out.
And connecting now with this light at your centre.
Can you see this light expanding?
As you breathe in.
Can you see it contracting?
As you breathe out.
Just asking yourself to notice,
Does it have a color?
Do you notice anything else when you look at it with your mind's eye?
And looking now to the point at the very center of that light.
Noticing its energy as you breathe.
And just gifting yourself now a little more time.
Sitting with your breath.
Sitting with this light.
Noticing the light.
And being one.
With the light.
And you can save this section and you can list this audio again.
As frequently as you feel is helpful for you to do.
So you don't need to try and cram the whole experience into one session.
We're just going to finish this section now just by gently returning your awareness.
Fully now to the time and space and location that you're in.
As you connect your feet more firmly with the floor.
As you move your fingers,
Wrinkle your toes.
Bring awareness up now through your physical body,
Through the central column of your spine,
From base up to your head.
And then gently returning yourself now completely to this time,
Space and location as you open your eyes.
And take in the green around you.
