Welcome.
Welcome in.
Time to get settled for a few moments of rest.
Begin to let go of whatever chaos may have been spinning right before this moment.
Perhaps some deeper breaths in.
Maybe sigh it out on the exhale.
Breathe in.
If you like,
Begin to bring a slight constriction to the back of the throat.
When you breathe in and out,
It makes a slight constriction,
Kind of like you're fogging up a mirror.
Feel the lips if that feels comfortable.
Continue to breathe in and out,
Creating an oceanic sound.
Allow this sound to soothe you and settle you.
Bring to mind the bottom of your feet,
Wiggling toes,
Or perhaps even just energetically if you just feel like resting.
Imagine energetically wiggling toes,
What that might be like.
The funny thing is,
Is our brain,
Whether we're picturing it in our head or doing the same action,
Is firing the same thing.
There is power in visualizing motion and movement of energy.
Begin to imagine roots growing out of your feet and finding a nourishing,
Rich,
Earthy,
Nutrient soil underneath your feet.
See if you can allow that nourishing soil to help coax those roots down out of your feet and deep into the earth.
Sometimes taking a few deeper breaths,
Imagining the energy eventually lowering up from your head,
Down your throat and heart,
All down your spine,
Through your hips,
All through your legs.
Eventually,
Each breath,
Inhale,
Feeling more strength and stability from the roots,
Maybe even pushing slightly into the earth with your feet.
Maybe experiment with how bent the knees are.
Or whatever position you're in,
Just see if you can feel some sensation as you push against your feet into earth,
Or whatever substitute that is,
If you're sitting on a couch or what.
But see if you can really just ground down and push and feel the energy come back through the earth,
Through the surface you're pushing against and back up as a charge up through your legs.
Breathing all the way up to the crown of your head and then exhale all the way back down,
Out your feet.
You're welcome to stay here,
Breathing in,
Up,
Strengthening,
Stabilizing through the roots,
Up your legs,
Hips,
Chest,
Arms,
Neck,
Head,
Crown,
And exhaling all the way back down.
If you'd like to stay longer than this,
You're welcome to rest and continue this visualization for as long as feels ready and right for you.
Otherwise,
If you're ready to be guided out,
Begin to wiggle,
Fingers and toes ever so slightly.
Maybe rocking around on your behind,
On your sitz bones,
Just starting to wake up the spine and just other sensations throughout your body.
Visualize yourself in the space you're in.
If your eyes are closed,
Gradually blink open and look for something you can see,
An object perhaps,
And something else,
A different color or texture you can see.
And maybe see if there's anything you can hear.
Notice if there's any taste or perhaps a desire to get a glass of water.
Feel the rested pull of gravity gently connecting and grounding you to the earth.
And as you're ready,
Gradually move,
Awaken,
Go out into the rest of your day and shine.
Shine bright.
Namaste.
