Saluting the Sun

‘I need to clear my mind
Sometimes I have these voices in my head, I don’t know where they come from
What can I do?’

So you live on this beautiful planet
So, I stand on the ground, feel the earth beneath my feet. Close the eyes and feel. Feel how the Earth is always supporting me.
As I exhale I exhale out of the soles of my feet and give energy back to the earth, to thank my Mother for always supporting me. I breathe away the energies that no longer serve me, returning them to the Earth that knows how to recycle.
After a few breath cycles I feel the energy of the exhalation extending down, down through a powerful root network that reaches to the very centre of the Earth. I feel myself connected to this rooted, stable centre. I breathe in the generous support of Mother Earth with gratitude and I feel a buoyant spacious energy moving up through all parts of my body, all the way to the crown of my head.
I visualise the beautiful golden light of the Sun above me. I feel its irresistible rays shining down and inundating every cell of my body.
As I exhale now I feel this golden light infusing me and nourishing the root netweork that reaches down to the crystal core of the Earth. Breathing in I feel that rich support and buoyancy. Breathing out I feel my whole being inundated with the golden light of the rays of the Sun.
I continue like this for a few breath cycles.

Now, breathing in I feel the space of my body and the energy it exudes. Breathing in I feel and appreciate the subtle lateral expansion across my body. Breathing out I feel elongation and space the length of my spine.

I give thanks to my body, to the breath of life.
I give thanks the earth for holding me. I give thanks to the sun for nourishing me.
I remember that I have so much to be thankful for.
May I walk here with kindness and bring to life the gifts of my birth.

I move with reverence, embodying gratitude for my senses and for my body and for my home, this beautiful earth.
This day, let me do all I can to honour life.
This day, let me move to make life more beautiful, let me be generous, let me be ready to share, ready to receive, ready to bless and be blessed.
My movements my prayer, my speech a song of praise, my song my celebration, my work my expression of honour and gratitude.
