Connecting To Our Spiritual Sun

For many of you here in Australia already well into the evening and time to nestle in for the evening.

Allowing yourself,

All of yourself to arrive into this space.

Allowing yourself to take a nice deep breath,

Maybe the deepest breath of the day,

And feel that into the belly.

Allowing the body to feel grounded,

Rooted where you are.

And maybe just start by noticing the air,

The air as it passes through your nose,

And as it comes into the body.

And calling in all the beauty and nourishment of air,

Feeling it deep into the belly,

Noticing the belly rise and fall.

Feeling heavy in your limbs and in your bones,

Feeling all the places where the body is making contact with the bed or the seat,

Or wherever you're lying tonight.

Feel the support of the earth,

Feel the heaviness in the body.

And let all the sounds around just take you deeper into relaxation.

All the sounds,

Notice the sounds a little bit outside the room,

Outside of where you are.

And can you hear the sounds a little bit closer,

The sounds within the room,

The sounds within the room.

And in the air that you breathe,

Can you feel the temperature,

Can you feel the moisture in the air,

Acknowledging the water within us,

The moisture in the air.

And if you'd like placing a hand on that rising and falling belly of yours,

Acknowledging our inner fire,

Our inner fire.

And for tonight's intention,

Really acknowledging this inner fire that we have,

But also all the beautiful sun energy,

The solar energy.

Astrologically,

We're actually moving into this beautiful portal right now,

Which is called Lion's Gate.

And Lion's Gate is when the sun called Sirius or star,

Which is actually brighter than our sun,

Is very close to the earth.

And some say that it's our spiritual sun.

And so with this intention of aligning ourselves,

Our inner light,

Really tuning into or being able to be open to receiving that wisdom and that light from not just our central sun,

But from Sirius,

Our spiritual sun.

May its golden light shower us with a deeper sense of trust,

A deeper sense of safety and compassion.

Repeating in your mind's eye that I trust,

That I am safe,

That I have compassion.

And as we align to the sun's energy and allowing that sun energy to touch every part of us,

Starting with your right hand thumb,

Bring your mind's attention and awareness as if the sun can touch just one single ray of sunshine on your right hand thumb,

On your right index finger,

Middle finger,

Your ring finger and the fifth.

And the fifth,

Your whole right hand is touched by the sun.

You can feel it's warm on your right forearm.

Traveling up to the upper arm.

And as if you can bring all your mind's attention to that warmth of that sun on the top of your right shoulder.

And feeling the sun rays as it comes down the side body,

Nestling into that right hip.

Feel the warmth of the sun on your right thigh,

On your shin,

Your right foot,

Your right foot,

Your right toes,

Your whole right leg,

Your whole right leg is warm underneath the sun and then feeling your whole right side of the body,

The whole right side of the body,

Soaking under that sun.

I trust I am safe.

I have compassion.

As the body sinks even deeper,

Feeling that warmth of the sunlight,

Notice the rays of the sun traveling to your left.

So the left index finger,

Middle finger,

Ring finger and the pinky.

And your whole right hand,

Your whole right hand is now warm.

And the right forearm.

And as if the sun can travel up to the upper arm and resting on that left shoulder.

And then streaming the rays of sun down the whole left side of the body until it rests at the hip.

Sun touches the left thigh,

Left shin,

The left foot on all the left toes,

Feel the entire left foot warm.

The whole of the left leg,

The whole of the left leg,

The whole left side of the body is warm underneath the sun.

As if the whole back side of the body was lying under the sun,

Feeling the heat from where you lie.

And as if it can reach from underneath the head and coming over the forehead.

As if the sun's rays can kiss you on both cheeks.

And that nice and warm fuzzy feeling going down the throat and down to the chest and down even deeper into the stomach going deeper into the stomach and deeper and deeper.

And as if you can tune in and feel into all the places where the sun has touched all the places where the sun has touched,

Feel its warmth.

Feel the energy of the sun as it showers you.

Feel the aliveness in the solar energy,

Feeling safe in the arms of the sun,

In the arms of the sun,

Like a warm sunny day.

But then can you pay attention to all the spaces in between,

All the spaces in between where the sun has not yet touched.

The areas of the body that are a bit cooler,

The spaces in between.

Can you feel the spaces in between?

And knowing that it's all there,

All part of your body,

Just where your attention is going,

Come back to the warmth,

Come back to the sunlight.

Feel and bask in the warmth of the sun.

And then again,

Feeling into the spaces in between,

Can you shift your awareness to the spaces in between?

And become aware that it is all part of you,

Is all part of you,

Bringing the light into all the spaces.

Can you allow that warmth to be shared into all of these spaces?

And as if all of that warmth can come together into the heart space,

Planting the seeds of trust,

Safety,

Compassion.

These times where we must bring in that sun,

Connect to our inner powers and the power is above in the sun,

The sky,

The stars.

Bring it into the heart space,

Leading from the heart space,

Planting your seeds of trust,

Safety,

Compassion.

And as if when you operate and when you live out of the heart space,

It's like nourishing these seeds.

Can we allow that energy to grow once you've planted these seeds of trust and safety and compassion in the heart?

Allow that energy to grow as if you're allowing it to expand from the heart a little bit bigger,

A little bit bigger.

A little bit bigger,

A little bit bigger.

As if it was permeating every organ and every cell in the body.

Can you allow that energy to grow so big that it covers your entire body?

What if it became so big that it could fill up the space of the room?

And what if that could grow even bigger and reach out to your neighbors?

How far can we expand from our heart beyond the city,

Beyond where we live?

And if all of us could beam this love and all that energy that is emanating from our heart space,

Could it cover the entire earth?

Allowing yourself to feel that warmth of that sun and how good it feels to be out in the sun,

Doesn't it?

Allowing yourself to be nourished by your light,

Your light that is emanating from the heart.

And sending out,

Maybe saying a little blessing,

A little prayer for someone or a situation you have in mind.

When we gather together as a group,

We have so much energy that we really can harness that.

Send a blessing,

Send a prayer,

Send our lovely intentions to someone we have in mind.

Let the sounds take you a little bit deeper into yourself,

Into that heart space.

Reconnect with that heart space.

Namah Shivaya.

Om.

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh As if you can send the energy and love from your heart into your right hand and offering it to a brother or sister sitting next to you in this circle.

In this time space,

We are all gathered together.

Feel yourself being next to one another,

Sending that energy from your right hand side.

Sense that it travels all the way around and coming back to you on the left hand side.

Really,

We're all together.

We're all vibing,

Vibrating together as one.

We lie together here,

We stand together here under the same sun,

Stars and the moon.

We're all here tonight,

Having this collective intention and energy to connect to our central sun,

Our spiritual sun,

The power of the universe or whatever you like to draw energy from,

Source is infinite,

And is known by many names by all names and by no name.

Coming back to the breath,

Breathing in,

Inhaling to the crown,

Connecting to sun and sky.

Exhaling,

Breathing down,

Connecting to Earth,

Mother Earth,

The ground.

Inhaling up,

Seeing the breath travel up.

Exhale,

Bringing the breath down.

Breathing at your own rhythm,

Really being present the whole breath.

This is a time that you've given yourself to slow down today.

Take rest,

Even for a few moments.

To reconnect with ourselves,

To center ourselves.

Remember that we're never alone.

We all stand in our self trust.

In the sense of safety that we create for ourselves that we allow ourselves.

The compassion.

Again,

That we have for ourselves and for others.

Remembering that taking this time to fill your cup is your nourishment,

So that you can fill the cups of others.

Once you're feeling shiny and vibrant,

Alive and passionate and full of life,

Like all the energy that the sun gives us.

Setting the intention for yourself even this evening.

What's for you today to deepen into trust?

Perhaps today for you is more compassion.

Just checking in with the body,

Noticing how it feels.

Maybe even noticing or comparing how it feels now versus half an hour ago.

When you feel full and complete,

Allowing yourself to maybe have another yawn if you're lying down or if you're sitting up a nice stretch.

Bringing yourself back into the body and thanking yourself that you've given yourself this half hour of just you time.
