Meeting Life, Right Here

And maybe the goal was never to be in perfect balance,

But to create capacity to be with the full spectrum of what it means to be alive.

To feel and be felt.

To move and be moved.

To go with the ups and flows,

The highs and the lows.

Finding beauty in meeting life.

Right now,

Right here.

Returning to what is present.

Even when our minds want to direct us into the past or the future.

Bringing your hands to your heart.

Taking a moment to notice your body and its sensations.

Noticing the rising and the falling of your chest.

Reminding you that you are in fact alive.

That you have made it here.

And maybe here feels hard and uncertain.

And maybe here feels beautifully full.

Full of life.

Bringing your attention back to the breath.

Breathing in to your aliveness.

Breathing out to feel your connection to the earth.

Right now,

Right here.

Grounding your energy into this moment.

This moment where we can meet life.

What does it feel like to be here?

How does it feel like to meet life right now?

Allowing yourself any resistance.

Allowing yourself to soften.

And to create capacity to be with it all.

Returning to breath.

Breathing into your aliveness.

Breathing out to connect to the earth.

To this moment.

Full breath in.

Full breath out.

Slowly coming back whenever you're ready.

Bringing some movement into your hands,

Your body.

Taking a little stretch.

And gently opening your eyes.
