From Shane Piñata,
I'm Colleen Thomas.
This is 10 minutes for your heart.
Today we will flow like the dragon.
Laskavo prosimo do nashoho kola.
Welcome to the circle.
Privit druzi,
Privit lubit druzi.
Slava Ukraini.
My name is Colleen.
I'm a meditation teacher based in the United States,
And this meditation is my offering to you today.
I'm not a therapist,
But I can share some great resources with you.
Please find them in the show notes.
Also,
Please know that everything I suggest is just an invitation.
You have the freedom to imagine or visualize any part of the meditation,
And it's entirely okay to opt in or opt out of any portion based on how you're feeling today.
Please prioritize your comfort and wellbeing.
Let's journey together at your own pace.
Today's object is an image of a dragon.
It could be a picture from the internet,
A favorite wall hanging,
Or just an image in your mind.
Would you like to breathe together?
If so,
Join me now,
And again,
And once more.
If you joined us for those breaths,
How do you feel now?
If you like this feeling,
You might keep breathing deeply throughout this meditation.
It's up to you.
While you're noticing how you feel and what it's like to keep breathing,
If you want to,
Notice where you find flow in your body.
Is your breath flowing?
How about your blood?
Can you feel it moving?
How about your heart?
When you breathe into your heart,
Can you sense its rhythm?
If you are able,
Try swaying gently side to side,
Or back and forth,
Or just move your hand.
Find your unique flow in this moment.
Breathing is a lovely way to rebalance the body,
Literally and energetically.
So while you are breathing,
And flowing,
And maybe swaying,
Join me in imagining that a dragon arrives in your space.
Notice its color.
How does it move?
How does it feel to be so close to a dragon?
What would happen if you went on a journey with this dragon,
Learning to flow as the dragon flows?
What might it be like to become this dragon,
To be this beautiful,
This strong?
Keep breathing and see what flowing as the dragon feels like.
Can you feel it in your body?
Find that flow.
Let it inform your body.
Let it show your body what is possible.
If you are breathing,
Keep letting your breath flow.
Be the dragon.
Move around your space if you can,
Or just feel this movement in your body as you remain still.
You are the dragon.
Amazing.
Keep going.
Keep moving as the dragon.
How does the dragon move across the room?
How does the dragon fly across the sky?
What does the dragon say?
How does the dragon laugh?
Wonderful.
Allow yourself to really find the flow,
To really trust the dragon in yourself,
The flow in yourself.
Breathe and flow as the dragon.
And now allow your dragon self to slow down,
To rest.
Allow yourself to rest fully now and join me in one final deep breath.
One final moment of flow.
Thank you for flowing with us today in our circle of dragons.
May we all find our inner dragon whenever we forget how to flow.
May it be so.
Remember to breathe today.
Breathe and expand.
And enjoy the music as you transition back into the space you are in.
Tremajtes i berežicebe.
Slava Ukraini.
Our music was written by Ukrainian artist Audio Coffee.
It's called Hope and Peace Believe in Ukraine.
I'm Colleen Thomas.
Thanks for listening.
