This week on Earthbound,
Connecting to breath.
As you settle into the comfort of your being,
Give yourself permission to dissolve.
Honoring the breath,
Let yourself lean into the gentle rise and fall of your chest.
In wonderment that it continues without force,
Regardless of any heaviness that may reside there.
It continues without fail to rise and fall through times of great joy.
And it continues through the depths of our deepest sorrows.
It continues to rise and fall whether we climb our mountains,
Swim across oceans,
Love,
Blues,
Change,
Transcend.
A steady stream of life force,
It supports us as we navigate the ebb and flow of our precious lives.
Giving us the gift of opening our eyes each morning to continue our quest of finding our place in the stars.
Our soft call to presence,
Reminding us that we are connected to all things.
Anchoring us to existence,
This gentle rise and fall serves as the framework for our being.
Grounding us in time and space.
Underneath our armor of soft skin,
Muscle,
Bone,
We harbor magnificence.
Each inhalation offers new life to ourselves,
Nourishing the fine fabric our souls were made of.
Weaved with starlight and moonbeam,
Each inhale enhances our inner light,
Illuminating our one vibrant soul from the inside out.
Our light flourishes with the medicine of breath.
Rest now in your vast magnificence.
Melt into your brilliance.
You are whole.
You are worthy.
Close your eyes now.
I welcome you to set your focus on your chest,
Bringing awareness to its rhythmic rise and fall.
You are whole.
You are worthy.
Feel the support of the ground beneath you.
Let your body be comforted by the stability.
In this safe,
Loving space,
Be at peace.
Give yourself permission to dissolve.
Sink your bones into the ground beneath you.
Let your shoulders retire from holding the world in place.
Let your job be at ease.
Soften your eyes.
Release.
You are whole.
You are worthy.
Rest in the knowing that you are where you need to be right now in this moment.
And if life is weighing heavily on your chest,
If you've withdrawn from your light,
If you're enduring a storm of the heart and mind,
Know that I am here with you.
And with each breath,
Your vibrant light continues to shine.
