Transcript:

And if you feel safe to do so,

go ahead

and close down your eyes.

Leaning back

to the bed,

to the seat,

to the ground

or the earth beneath you.

Perhaps

placing your hands on your body wherever

may feel comfortable.

A hand on your chest,

a hand on your belly,

wherever feels natural

to you.

And begin to move your body

slowly. Perhaps

rolling your hips.

Perhaps

stretching your back,

rolling your shoulders,

sighing out,

taking a deep breath.

Anything

that your body would have you do.

And then take a breath

and just notice

as you inhale

how the air feels in your nose.

And breathe out

through your mouth or your nose,

wherever feels best.

And now

breathe down into your chest space

slowly.

Seeing all that is here

in this part of your body.

Noticing any sensations,

any constrictions,

any feelings

or images.

As you breathe into this heart space,

the center of your feeling in your body,

and just continue breathing here,

letting your awareness rest

in the depths of your chest.

And now

move your awareness down further

into your belly.

Taking a breath in

and exhaling down

deep into the depths

of this part of your body.

Breathing your awareness

down further into your hips,

into your pelvic area,

and into your lower back.

And remembering to keep moving your body

in any small or big movements

as you just allow your awareness

to stay

in the lower part of your body

and breathing down lower into your legs,

into your ankles, into your feet,

just blessing them with your loving

awareness.

And now bring your attention

to the part of your body

where you feel the most

drawn to.

Perhaps there's an intensity in your

body somewhere,

a tightness

in your throat,

a knot in your belly,

an area of your body that is crying out

for your awareness.

And just welcome

whatever is here in this moment.

If it is a tight throat,

perhaps a swallow,

perhaps moving your head from side to

side,

following your body's lead

as you drop all resistance

to whatever is in the body.

Knowing that no emotion, feeling,

tension

can ever remain stuck in the body

if you give it your attention,

if you allow your body to express,

if you drop deeper

and if you keep inquiring:

what else is here?

And now gently bringing your awareness

to a different part of your body.

Perhaps tight shoulders,

an aching back,

a heaviness in the head.

And again

just for a moment.

Let this be here.

Bringing your awareness to this part.

And again letting your body lead.

Perhaps it needs a stretch,

a sigh out,

a yawn, a shout,

a moan.

Allow your body to express

perhaps through noise, through sound,

what it wants.

And as you continue to move your body,

keeping your awareness in these spaces

that need them the most,

continue

to use sound,

movement,

as you drop all resistance and welcome

whatever is here.

And as we come

to the end

of our meditation today,

I invite you to drop a question

into your body.

No need

to go searching for an answer.

Just see what's there

and ask your body:

Body,

what do you need?

Welcoming

any sensation, feeling, word, thought,

emotion

that might come up.

Body,

what do you need?

And seeing all that is here in this

moment.

And whenever you are ready,

begin to bring your awareness

back into the room.

Breathe down. Wiggle your fingers.

Wiggle your toes.

And open your eyes.
