Take a few minutes right now to drop into your inner resources and activate your energy.
“In this moment right now this love comes to rest in me.” Rumi
Root – Legs, feet, base of spine
Visualize red roots going downward into the earth connecting you into safety of the moment.
Belly – Visualize an orange whirlpool and let it spread through your whole body bringing energy and aliveness to your body!
Solar Plexus – Above the belly and below the sternum – visualize a yellow fire transforming any lethargy away and charging you!
Heart – Now spread the fire and take some big breaths expanding your fire and igniting your compassion!
Throat – Sing and increase the feeling tone in your body bringing more presence here and now. (5 open mouthed Ah’s)
3rd Eye – Between the eyes – Be a lighthouse beaming outwards from where you are looking out over yourbody of water creating safety and presence.
Crown of the head – Increase your consciousness and understanding of the moment and what is needed for you today.
