In the midst of scrolling and clicking, I invite you take a deep breath. Inhale, filling your whole abdomen with the blessings of oxygen. Exhale. Gently take another breath in and follow the path of your breath in your body. Exhale fully. Keep breathing slowly and deeply. Feel yourself grounded into the floor. Feel yourself anchored on your sitting bones. Your whole being rested onto the earth. You are protected. Cared for. Nurtured by the land you are on. She provides shelter and nourishment for you and your communities. She is so fertile and generous. A mother to us all. As your breath becomes deeper, become aware of all the communities that are sustained by the earth. Living and non-living: Bacteria, fungus, virus, algae, plants, insects, sea animals, land animals, birds, humans, machines, stones, rivers, mountains, volcanoes, seas and oceans…maybe some extra-terrestrial life forms benefit from the bounty of our planet … we are one of many communities doing their best to survive, to thrive, seeking to find their place in the world. These communities of beings all around you and within you. Slowly start becoming aware of the sounds around you, try to find the furthest sound away from you. Extend your hearing as far as possible …. Now try find the sound closest to you… Maybe you can even hear a sound coming from inside of you. Let’s journey into our inner lands. Prepare yourself to enter a very sacred space. Inhale and give yourself permission to dive in. As you exhale, get ready to go inside.
