Hi and welcome to this many mindful meditation moment.
Begin by taking a deep,
Refreshing breath in through your nose.
Exhaling out through your mouth,
Dropping your shoulders,
Relaxing your elbows,
Softening into this beautiful vessel of a body that you are carrying with you today out into the world.
We have this amazing instrument,
Otherwise known as a body,
That does miraculous things.
It can think for us.
It can feel for us.
It can dance.
It can move.
It can sing.
It can speak.
It can tap into decadent pleasures.
It is ours to take care of and to nourish and to keep alive and well.
And so today's practice centers around your beautiful body.
As you continue to focus on your breath,
Breathing in and breathing out,
Feeling into the space inside of your body,
Feeling the energy move with the breath,
Expanding and contracting.
You notice that there is a flower inside of your heart.
It looks like it wants to bloom and to grow and to develop into its most imperfectly perfect self.
So begin to notice this flower stored inside your heart with every breath.
The petal begins to open here and there.
The first layer of the flower is starting to bloom.
Perhaps the second layer begins to open with one petal and the next,
Noticing all the beautiful colors as the second layer is unraveling and opening.
You might notice whites,
Yellows,
Pinks,
Purples,
Greens.
Whatever colors are located inside of your flower,
They're yours to choose.
And maybe just maybe there's a third layer that's opening.
The petals are blooming and getting bigger and brighter,
Feeling more alive and well.
Just notice that flower now getting so large that it encompasses most of your chest.
In fact,
Most of your chest has opened up into this huge,
Beautifully oriented vessel of a flower.
Just notice the beautiful images inside of you.
How the petals are so different.
How the inside of the flower is unique all on its own,
Just as your soul is and your spirit are to you.
Notice the similarities between you and the flower.
In life we grow,
We bloom,
We evolve.
Notice between you and the flower what is needed to make sure that it grows.
The flower needs sun and water and food,
Soil,
Just as we need healthy nourishment in foods,
Sun,
Water,
Energy cleaning methods,
Exercise.
Notice how as humans we can so deeply connect to plants,
To animals,
To the things around us.
The cycle of life flows beautifully day in and day out and we are a part of that experience.
And so as your flower is blooming in your chest,
Feel that fresh energy and gratitude for the beauty that's inside of you,
On the outside of you,
And part of your experience in this journey on this planet.
May this energy today,
This refreshing,
Calm,
Inspiring,
Creative,
Beautiful energy that you've just developed and tapped into carry with you through the duration of your day.
And remember this,
At any point in time in your life you have the power to evolve,
To shift,
To make different decisions,
To take one step at a time just as the flower blooms with one petal at a time,
Gently opening up based upon whatever season it is.
You have the capacity,
The insight,
And the willpower to shift and morph your world into whatever you want it to be.
Don't forget your power,
It's always there.
And so gently coming back into your body,
Taking with you this vibrant energy,
Wiggling your fingers,
Moving your toes,
And whenever you're ready,
Breathe in and breathe out,
Coming back to this present moment in time.
May you have a beautiful day or night ahead.
From my heart to yours,
Namaste.
