Someone or something that makes you feel secure and safe. It could be, a friend, a pet, an ancestor, and an image. Anything that reveals itself to you. Give this time to reveal itself to you. As you move forward, you begin to create a portal into the past. Forwards always looking into history. Can you move with a slow heaviness? The multitude of stories we carry around. Follow the story your body is telling you. As you move backwards, you create a portal into the future.Backwards, always unknowing of the future. Where are you going? What portals are you creating? Continue to move with a slow softness. Move with veracity. Your guide returns, smiling at you. Offering rest. Offering dance. They say open your eyes. FULLY take in your surroundings. They offer a dance for yourself to shake off the day, the week, the month, the year. Dance in gratitude for all that you have gone through. Dance like no one is watching. As your dance with ends, your technicolor river causes you to melt to the ground, anyway that feels comfortable to you. Find stillness on the ground, in any position that feels comfortable to you. Notice what parts of your body are touching the ground being held. Thank the ground for holding you. Close your eyes. Continue investigating your breath as mist, inhaling/exhaling deeply. Noticing different sensations in your body. Let your thoughts pass through. The light in your chest Now expand your awareness just a little outside yourself, just outside of your skin. A little more to your physical environment. Can your memory paint what the space looks like? What does the space feel/smell like. Are you alone in space? What’s the history of the space? Take a moment to thank all that your living space has gifted this year. Maybe More.
