Ep. 84 The Body, Pleasure & Shame: Reclaiming Desire and Self-Trust with Corrine Gardner

And as we do, let's just start by coming present.

The world around us is so chaotic.

And consistently coming at us.

So let's take a moment.

And if you are in a safe space and you feel okay closing your eyes, I invite you to do so.

And just begin to feel your body on the surface.

If you're sitting or standing or laying down.

Just noticing and becoming aware of...

What's going on inside? How are you feeling? Paying attention, bringing awareness to your feet on the ground and the energy beneath your feet.

Bringing awareness to what that feels like.

Underneath us, the beautiful energy of Earth is meeting us, inviting you to breathe in whatever

way

feels

good for you in this moment.

Allowing that breath to slow down and deepen if that feels good for you.

Breathe.

Imagine a tiny luminous taproot unfurling from the bottom of your spine.

And imagine with every breath, every inhale, with every exhale, you are nourishing and nurturing this beautiful root.

and as you exhale pushing that root down through the surface down through the floor to the foundation of the building that you're in with a nice deep breath and exhale pushing that root down through the foundation is now mixing and mingling with the spellbinding magic that our Earth has to offer us.

That root going down, down, down, deeper and deeper into the Earth until it reaches the core, the center, the heart of the Great Mother.

And at the center, at the core, is this enormous rose quartz crystal emitting the energies of unconditional love, and protection.

And with this next exhale, inviting you to anchor yourself through that root, send it winding down around that rose quartz, around the heart of great mother.

anchoring you in that unconditional love in that protection and as you breathe as you inhale pulling in that energy all the way up up up up through that root back up through the earth through the foundation through the floor and the surface that you're on feeling that energy moving through your body Noticing, bringing awareness if you have any tension or if you're feeling like you need to move or stretch a little bit, please do so.

And on the next exhale that you take, inviting you to let go of whatever was happening before you landed here with us.

Breathe.
