- Hi, my name is Christine.
I'm a meditation teacher and co-founder of Awarehouse.
And today, I'll be guiding you in a practice
where we'll first locate an area of our body
that we're experiencing pain,
and then we'll visualize sending this golden white light
to that area in order for it to begin to dissolve.
So we'll begin by settling into our posture.
And if you're looking for deep relaxation,
you're welcome to lay down on your back.
And if you're seated upwards,
just make sure you're very comfortable,
allowing the hands to fall on your lap,
and allowing the eyes to lower or come to a close,
beginning to move into stillness.
Beginning at the crown of the head,
begin to relax all the muscles in the face
tucking the chin slightly,
inviting some length to the back of the neck,
allowing the shoulders to relax.
Relaxing the arms,
the chest,
softening the muscles in the belly and lower back,
relaxing the muscles in the legs,
and allowing yourself
to feel fully supported by the earth.
And so begin to take some deeper intentional breaths,
connecting to the life force energy
entering and exiting your body.
Now, begin to locate a certain area
in your body that you're experiencing pain.
And maintaining your focus on that area,
begin to send your breath
in the form of this golden white light,
trusting the breath that it knows where to go.
They say, "Where the mind goes, the energy flows."
So inviting this beautiful breath of life into your body,
visualizing it moving through you as this beautiful light,
seeing it reach that area
and point of tension begin to dissolve,
inhaling the life force energy,
and exhaling, releasing, dissolving.

We'll do a few more rounds of breath,
inhaling, visualizing this light entering your body,
seeing it begin to dissolve stagnant energy in that area,
allowing each exhale to release.
[gentle music]
You can begin to release the visualization,
and finding the natural rhythm of your breath,
noticing any shifts in your body,
feeling the weight of your body
being supported by the earth,
reconnecting to the sounds and the space that you're in.
And whenever you're ready,
you can allow the eyes to flutter open.
Thanks so much for practicing with me today.
See you next time.
