  SPEAKER_00: Welcome! I am so glad you're here.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: Today we are going to do a summer solstice meditation that I have prepared for you.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: So go ahead and get yourself in a safe place.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: You could do it out sitting on the grass in the sun, would be a nice way to do it, laying in the in the sun.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: Sitting or laying down, and I'll have you get very comfortable and settle in.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: So like I said, today we're celebrating the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, which was yesterday, Sunday.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: The moment when the sun is at its fullest, brightest, and its most powerful.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: And that's not a coincidence that you're here now because that exact same energy lives inside you.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: So wherever you are, find a comfortable seat or lie down, close your eyes if that feels safe, and just let yourself arrive here.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to begin with three cleansing breaths to clear out anything you're carrying and to make space for what this practice has in store for you.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: So go ahead, we'll breathe our first breath in through the nose deeply as you can.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: Fill all the way up.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: Open your mouth and let it go.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: Release.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Second breath, even deeper this time.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: Fill up all the way from the belly all the way to the top of your chest.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: And exhale that out.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: Let your shoulders fall.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: Excuse me.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: Third breath.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: This one is yours.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: Inhale whatever you need most right now.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: Peace, energy, clarity.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: And breathe anything out that no longer belongs.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Just let it go.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: Beautiful job.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's begin.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to begin with the earth beneath you.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Feel the ground or whatever surface is supporting your body right now.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: The floor, the chair, the grass, the earth.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: Let yourself actually feel it.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Press down on your feet a little.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: Let your hands and arms and legs rest heavy.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: The earth has been here for billions of years.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: And she's not going anywhere.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: And right now is no different.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: She's holding you.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: Take a breath in and imagine roots growing from the base of your spine, the bottom of your feet.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: Reaching deep, deep past the surface you're on.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Into the soil.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Past the clay, past the rock.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: All the way to the warm center of the earth.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: You are held.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: You are anchored.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: And you belong here.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Now just notice your breath.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: You can breathe whatever, however, it feels most supportive.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: With every exhale, let anything heavy, any worry, any tension, any feelings of not enough, any fear.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: Drain down through those roots and let it be sent into the earth.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: She can hold it, she can take it.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: Breathe in.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: Breathe out, I am held.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Again, breathe in, I am grounded, and out, I am held.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: Now I want you to bring your awareness to the air around you, the spaciousness around all sides of your body.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: And just notice that you are literally surrounded by beautiful life-giving breath and air.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's been here your entire life.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: It shows up for us every single moment.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Take time to take a slow, full breath in through your nose.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: Fill your lungs completely.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Hold at the top for just a bit and then let it just rush out through your mouth.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: The air carries possibility.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Everything that breathes alongside you.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: Every person you love, every tree, every ocean.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: You are not alone.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: As the summer wind moves through your life, through your day, let it bring you clarity.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: Let it bring you peace.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: Let it enter your lungs and your body, sweeping and cleaning away anything that no longer serves you.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: As you breathe in, you can breathe in inspiration, new ideas, and who you are becoming.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: Breathe in.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: I am clear.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: Breathe out.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: I am open to receive.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Breathe in that beautiful air.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: I am clear.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: I am open to receive.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: Beautiful.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: Now bring your hand to your solar plexus, just under your heart, the top of your belly.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: Or you can just bring your awareness there.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: The sun is at its was at its peak yesterday.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: The longest light.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I want you to think of that as a mirror.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: The light is reflecting off of you and in you.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe something is being called forward in your life.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Something you want to be, something you want to do, something you desire, a dream or a version of yourself.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's just on the cusp of breaking wide open.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Feel the warmth building in that solar plexus.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's your power, your fire, your sacred spark.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: The thing that actually makes you you.
• 8:25

  SPEAKER_00: Your body is mostly water.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: The earth is mostly water.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: The tides move because the moon and your emotions move because you are human.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: And that is a beautiful thing.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: This human experience can be so amazing and so crushing and so rewarding.

• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: Gentle and subtle pulse of being alive.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: You are connected to all the people you love, to the earth.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Something so much bigger.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: Then whatever problem feels heavy today.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: So breathe in, feel that flow.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: Breathe out.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: That hardness, that tension, soften.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Let yourself be moved.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: Let yourself feel.
