Episode Transcript

(00:04):
Find a comfortable position sitting, standing, or lying down.
And when you revisit this meditation in the future, it might be nice to choose a different position.
Just allow your body to settle however it needs to.
Right now, take a slow, full breath in through your nose.

(00:29):
And exhale softly through the mouth.
Let yourself arrive here in this moment, in this body.
You might want to gently close your eyes or soften your gaze towards the floor.
Feel the contact between your body and the surface beneath you, the earth, the chair, the mat.

(00:58):
All here to support you.
Now, bring your awareness to your foundations, to your feet, to your pelvis, your base, and sense the weight of your body being received.

(01:20):
You don't have to hold yourself up, let the ground hold you.
And notice how your body responds as you allow that support in perhaps your shoulders drop slightly, perhaps your breath deepens, and your nervous system settles as if it's exhaling.

(01:48):
And with each breath that you take, begin to imagine roots extending from the soles of your feet.
Extending deep down into the earth, steady, strong, ancient.
The Earth knows how to hold you.

(02:10):
You are safe to rest into it.
Bring your awareness to your pelvis, your pelvic bowl.
Perhaps you can imagine your hip bones, your pubic bones, your sitting bones, your sacrum, your pelvic bowl, your base, your sacred foundation, and without judgment, just simply notice how it feels today.

(02:50):
Notice the alignment.
The weight, warmth, any tension.
Just start to become more and more aware of perhaps a variety of sensations around your pelvis.

(03:14):
Begin to visualize this area as a glowing sphere of light.
Perhaps soft amber, deep red, or warm gold.
This light represents your foundation, the meeting place of safety, strength, and softness.

(03:38):
As you breathe in, feel the strength rising from this base, supporting your spine, your organs, your whole being.
And as you exhale, feel a wave of softness letting go of what no longer needs to be held by you.

(04:01):
As you breathe in, feel the strength rising from your base, supporting your spine, your organs, your whole being.
And as you exhale this wave of softness, surrender.
A letting go of what you no longer need to hold.

(04:25):
As you continue to breathe, perhaps repeat silently to yourself.
My foundation is sacred.
It is where safety, strength, and softness meet.
My foundation is sacred.

(04:46):
It is where safety, strength, and softness meet.
Now begin to sense the whole of your skeleton, all of your bones, your inner architecture, the bones of your pelvis, the bones of your spine, your skull, your jaw.

(05:15):
Your shoulders, arms, hands, your ribs, your legs, your feet, your toes, and imagine each bone aligning itself naturally without force or control as though your body remembers exactly how to stand in truth.

(05:43):
This is the wisdom of your structure, millennia of intelligence woven into the body that you inhabit right now.
As you breathe, feel yourself aligning the pelvis, the ribs, the shoulders, the crown, everything beautifully stacked, supported, balanced.

(06:07):
You don't have to do it.
Just allow it a deep remembering sense the ripple effect through your body as the muscles soften around the bones.
Notice where your body no longer needs to grip.

(06:31):
This is what trust feels like in the body, in the nervous system.
Life.
Every exhale is an act of devotion, a softening, a surrender, a remembering you are safe here, you are supported from within.

(07:04):
Now gently bring one hand over your heart and one hand down onto your lower belly.
Sensing this sphere of energy, of light, of warmth, sensing the gentle rise and fall beneath your palms.

(07:27):
Breath flowing, energy circulating, and a connection established between heart and root.
And you can whisper inwardly when I stand in truth, the whole of me can finally rest.

(07:55):
When I stand in truth, the whole of me can finally rest.
Let those words land in your body like a prayer feel, the alignment they create between mind and body, between doing and being between effort and ease.

(08:25):
Take a deep breath in and exhale fully.
Take a deep breath in and exhale fully sense the weight of your body once more held.

(08:49):
Supported, grounded.
You can let go.
When you are ready, just begin to gently move your fingers, your toes.
You can wiggle your face and perhaps start to bring some larger movements into your body.

(09:20):
And my invitation for you is to carry these feelings, these sensations, this embodiment with you as you move through your day, remembering that your foundation is sacred and that your body already knows the way home.
When you are ready, gently open your eyes.

(09:44):
To the space around you.
What can you hear? What can you see? What can you smell? You are here and you are whole.
