Breathwork and sound healing for energetic cleansing.
Welcome back to Cedar Sessions. It's another day of breath work and sound. Today we'll focus on cleansing. So wherever you are, find yourself lying down. Maybe you have an eye mask, a blanket. And just begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose. And a big clearing exhale through your mouth. An inhale through your nose. And an exhale through your mouth. And with this next inhale, see if you can call in all of the tension of your body. And with this exhale, can you let something go? Imagine yourself on a hot summer's day. When you step outside and the heat is sticky. You can feel it on your skin. You can feel it beneath your feet. You close your eyes, you breathe it in, breathe in the scent. The quiet hum of the cicadas in the trees. And just briefly you begin to get the distant scent of something breaking in the sky. And just as the heat becomes almost too unbearable, the skies open, and a beautiful summer rain begins to wash over your whole body. From the crown of your head, down your face, your jaw, your ears, your neck, your shoulders, your chest, all the way down your arms and your belly and your spine. Cleansing your whole body, cooling it. Cooling it with this beautiful summer rain. Washing everything that is stuck. The stickiness, the heat down your body, your hips, your legs, feeling it pull under your feet. You tilt your head up and you let it wash over your whole body. Experiencing it. The joy of it. Allowing your body to connect in this one moment. This one moment of cleansing. This one moment of cooling. This one moment of being fully present. Take a deep breath in through your nose. And exhale through your mouth. And we'll begin. All right, let's go. Our breath is through our mouth. So open mouth, in through the belly, in through the chest, exhale. Good. Belly, chest, exhale. This is where we move our energy. We start to build it up, moving it in through the belly, up into the chest. Exhale, you come right back to it. You've been here before. Your brain starts to protest and technology. Knowing that as you keep breathing, it will settle. The volume will turn down. Good. Keep moving your breath. Belly, just exhale. Good. Beautiful. Keep it moving in your body meaning. Pulling it up through the pathway from the belly up into the chest. That's it's on the bridge from where we're grounded in our life, the defiance of the meaning of ourselves. So move it up. That's where we get the double right here. Belly chattel. Exhale. We got it today with it. Get your body used to this breath for a moment. Go. Belly, chattel, exhale. When it comes into your chest, feel your heart expand. You exhale and you go right back to it. Feel the space that you're creating in your body. Feel all of the stickiness that wants to move, that wants to be washed away. Good. Have some fun with it. Breathe a little deeper. Good. Keep it moving. Keep your breath moving. Belly, chest, exhale. Have a little bit of fun with it here. We take ourselves so seriously. We get stuck in all of the to-do's, the things that aren't perfect in this moment. But just in being here, it's perfect. You can choose to lighten up. So use your breath. Help yourself lighten up here. Help your breath cleanse some of that stuckness. Good. Choose to deepen it. Choose to deepen. Really expand your belly. Really expand your chest. Exhale. Good. You've got it. Keep it moving. Beautiful. Good. Let your breath take you. Let your breath carry you. Your body has wisdom. It knows exactly what it wants today. It knows exactly what it needs. You just have to let go and listen. Good. Let your body move with the breath. Let your body move with the music. Know that just by showing up for this today, you have chosen your worthiness. You have said, I am worth it. Living this life is worth it. So keep moving your breath. This is where we start to move into that higher energy state. You can feel your vibrations in your hands, maybe your jaw, your body. Deepen your breath so you can feel it more. Feel the power of your energy. Feel the beauty of your energy. We get to a point where the vibrations, the movement starts to feel stronger in our body. And we reach a point where we have a choice. Do we keep breathing deeper? Do we push it to see how far we can go? Or do we hold back? Can you push it today? Can you choose to go deeper? Can you choose to listen? Nobody has ever. Nobody has ever experienced pain from breathing. The pain comes from all the stuff the breathing is moving. The stuff it's trying to clear out, the stuff it's trying to repair. The breath is one of the most powerful systems in our body. Use it. Use it to do what it's meant to do. It's the only system in our body, the spontaneous system in our body that we can control. Often we tend to hold it, so now choose in your control to let it move deep in your breath. Expand through your belly. Can you pick up the pace here too? Can you expand it deeper and pick up the pace so that you really move the breath? You really pull it in. Pull it up. Pull it up and out. Good. Find what you're resisting here. Find what wants to be cleansed, what wants to be cleared in your body and see where you're resisting it. As soon as your awareness goes there, as soon as your mind takes it there, your energy follows and it will cleanse, it will clear. You have to allow it. You have to say it's okay. It is okay. It is okay right now. It is okay in this moment. You are okay. Breathe. Yes. Good. In this next song, in this one, and the next, we start to reach the peak. So how deep can you take it? Once we get to the edge, once we start to see it, we get a choice. We get a choice to believe in faith or in fear. Both ask you to believe in something you can't see. So do you have faith in your body? Do you have faith in your life? Because you can do that right now. You can do that to have your faith over your fear. Whatever that means to you. Just faith in your body. It's worth it that you are worth it. Deep in your breath. Go in. Go deeper. Find it. If it feels heavy, let it go. If it feels heavy, let it move. It's only heavy because you've let it stay stuck. Good. Good. Choose to see the life you are capable of. Choose to see the limitations you've put on yourself dissolve. Choose to see them melt away as the rain washes over you, as the breath moves through you. Choose to let them melt away. Good. Stay with your breath here. Keep it moving. Keep it moving. Yes. I'm gonna ask you to dream your life right here. See everything that's possible. We limit our imagination. We limit what we think we deserve, what we think we're capable of, what we can go bigger, we can go broader, we can go wherever we desire. You are desire. You're meant to do something like that. You are meant to help this lifetime something. So let yourself be on that. What is it that you desire? What is it that you love? Let it want over. Maybe you have to invent something that you love right now. Someone, something, something animals, something invincible. And let's love that new experience for that person, that thing, that bottom, that animal that left. Let it want over your body. So that your desires come forward. So that they can be expressed in this light and then you and you can only email how. So let it move. Good. Keep it moving. Belly, chest, exhale. Belly, chest, exhale. Good. This is your last active song. So can you deepen your breath? Find what else you can give yourself here. Find what else you can receive. Receive fully. Receive your breath fully in your body. Give yourself that gift. Deepen your breath. Belly, chest. Exhale, belly. Heart expands as you pull up. Exhale right back to it. Keep it moving. Find every part of you that's worth it. Every part of you that deserves to be loved, that deserves to be clear of this stuckness so that you can bring into this lifetime exactly what you're meant to. Deepen your breath. You are worth it. You are worth feeling whole and full and well. So let your body show you. Let your breath guide you. Good. Keep moving. Good. Keep it moving. A few more breaths here. You are doing beautifully. Good. Take a deep breath in through your mouth, all the way up your body. Hold it up at the crown of your head. Exhale through your mouth. Let it go. Another deep breath in through your mouth. All the way up your body to the crown of your head. Hold it at the top. Exhale, let it go. One more deep breath in all the way up your spine to the crown of your head. Feeling your whole body connected. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Exhale, let it go. Energies around you, the infinite continuum of love and light, and in this space, I ask you, who are you?
SPEAKER_00Who are you, allowing your breath to be your guide in your body, to take you where you need to go, to show you what you need to see, to let you hear what needs to be heard, with each moment you get to choose, and if what you've chosen no longer fits, you can begin to choose differently.
SPEAKER_01You can choose to let yourself cleanse your body and create some space to choose differently to choose you.
SPEAKER_00Moving with your breath. Notice a sense of gratitude in your body. Deepen your breath, a deep breath in through your nose, and out through your mouth.
SPEAKER_01Come back gently, and I am wishing you a beautiful day wherever you are, or a beautiful sleep.
