Hold Space like air ... my first ever guided meditation writing :-0

Hold space like air.

Close your eyes.

Find your comfortable seat.

Notice your breath.

Slow down.

Breathe in deeply.

Exhale Fully.

Fill up

Empty out.

Pay attention as you breathe in the air that is in the space all around you.

Pay attention as you exhale this air and your personal energy into the space that is all around you.

Let yourself notice the simplicity of the air as you breathe it in, as you breathe it out.

The air that you are breathing in and breathing out is not partial.

This air is not especially good; this air is not especially bad.

The air is just here, holding space.

This air is always here at your personal disposal.

This air is your constant support, your constant resource, your constant fuel.

This air holds you.

Feel the air that surrounds you now.

Feel how this air holds you entirely.

Feel how the air touches every portion of your external body.

Feel how the air enters your body filling the most sacred, delicate portions of your inside body.

Is the air warm?

Is the air cold?

Either way the air is air and it holds you in your entirety.

The air touches your every inch of exposed skin.

Feel the air and space around each of your toes.

From your little baby toe to your big toe.

Maybe you know you have a bossy toe.

Maybe you know your feet are callused.

Maybe you have painted toe nails.

Maybe the sensitive soles of your feet are dirty, cold, stinky or sweaty.

The air has no care for the condition of your feet it just surrounds them.

Feel the air move up your shins, the hard bones that connect from your ankles to your knee caps.

The air wraps around your lower legs and holds the soft yet strong muscles of your calf.

The air continues to move up your back thighs and around your upper legs to your front thighs.

This air is holding your legs.

From your toes all the way up to your hip joints.

This air is holding all of your muscles, your tendons, your veins, your blood, your bones, your dry skin, the hair that covers your pores skin.

The air is holding your entire lower body and it does not care where your legs or feet have been and the air does not care where your legs or feet are going.

The air just holds this space all around your lower extremities.

This air supports you everywhere you have been and everywhere you will go. Feel the air. Feel it support you.

The air rolls up your pelvis and all around your backside feel the air where the bones of your bottom meet the ground.

The air is holding you around your belly, where you feel your pants snug around your waist, around your most precious life giving organs. Feel the air on the soft flesh of your middle body now. The air moves up into your rib cage, your side body, the muscle that surrounds your spine, your chest, your collar bones, your strong shoulders.

This air holds your middle body here now. This air holds your every insecurity. This air holds the parts of your sacred body that have made you feel uncomfortable. This air has held your belly and your heart through every rapid heartbeat, every anxiety, and all the butter flies. This air has held your middle body when you felt heavy in your heart and in your stomach. This air has held you when you felt weakness. This air held you through every doubt, through every pain, and through each heartbreak. This air was there then. This air is here now, still holding this space to support you. Feel the air. Feel the space that it is holding for you.

Feel the consistency of the air through all of your inconsistencies.

This air is here now; it always has been it always will be.

Take a deep breath into the space that the air has held for you.

Take your next breath deep into your lungs and belly and hold it just an extra moment.

Feel the air appreciate is consistency and support. Appreciate the space that the air allows you.

Feel gratitude for this space.

The air rolls up your entire middle your back, your spine, each vertebra. The air has felt every slump of your shoulders every drop into your spine. The air has felt your heaviness.  The air has stayed every time you felt the weight of the world, the air has stayed through every emotion, and the air has literally had your back all this time.

Feel the air hold you up.

Sit up.

The air is here giving you the space to sit up, giving you the support.

SIT UP.

Breathe in deeply

Breath out fully until you feel the muscles of your middle body pushing the air out, every. last. drop. out.

Now breathe in deep and fill up with the space of the air.

 Fill up.

Acknowledge the air and how it fills you.

The air is now around your throat. The air has touched every word that you have ever spoken and every word that you hold inside.

And the air does not care about all that you have said wrong and the air does not care about all that you have said right. The air just gives you space to breathe it in and find your voice.

The air gives you voice.

Feel the airs support every time you speak.

The air is there for every word.

The air hugs into the space around your ears. The air fills the space around your ear lobes and deep into the canals of your ears, where you have heard every word, and every sound.

The air has been here with you every time you have listened and every time you have not.

The air has been with you when you heard the best news and the air has been with you when you heard the worst news. The air stays when you hear birds sing, when you hear the waves of the ocean crash into the beach, when you hear the crack of thunder during a summer storm. The air stays when you hear your favorite songs and you dance. The air has stayed when you heard a comforting voice and the air has stayed when you were alone and heard no voice but your own. The air was there when you were yelled at. The air was there when you heard a baby cry. The air was there when you heard that you lost someone. The air was there when your heard laughter fill a room. The air stays for all that you hear. Feel the air stay with you. Breathe the air in. It is staying with you.

The air is all around your head and around your eyes. Around the soft precious skin that covers your face, the wrinkles, the laugh lines, the sun spots, the freckles, the scars. The airs holds the space around your lips as they curve up and smile and the air holds the space around your brow when is tenses with anger, fear, or misunderstanding. The air allows the space for sorrow and happiness. Sadness and silliness. Work and play.

The air has been with you since the moment you were born and you felt it brand new on your skin and maybe you cried out because the new world was scary and the air heard you and held space for you to learn and grow. The air did not care that you were the newest person in the room. The air didn't care what you knew or did not know. The air just gave you the space to live. The air stays the same. The air remains neutral. The air continues to give us that same space. In this moment we are new. The moment is new. We have much to learn. The world is still scary because the moment is always new. The air keeps holding space for all things new.

Breathe it deep. Feel the space the air is holding for you now. Smile. Feel gratitude for this space, for this moment, for this new breath, for the space the air offers us to learn. Let the air hold this space and support you. There is nothing to accomplish nothing to achieve. In this brand new moment just breathe into the space that the air has been holding for you.

Hold space like air.
