When possible, please gift yourself with the wonder of working outside being with nature and allowing the sun to warm you.
If the temperature is permitting, place a blanket in a comfortable/quiet place. Smudge the area with cedar or sage, if you do not have this material than use whatever you have access to. It’s better if you find a shady spot rather than in the direct sunlight, you may fall asleep during this time and could easily be burned. After getting settled in on your blanket.. begin by looking up at the clouds. What do you see? Can you see animals/people/objects? If there are no clouds this day, then just look at the sky and its entire splendor… Allow yourself to take a couple deep breaths.. In through the nose.. Breath in…hold to a count of five and exhale through the mouth. Now, close your eyes and feel yourself receiving the energies of the sun…see the sun up close.. just like you could almost touch it.. the flares that are erupting.. the power and the beauty…. Allow yourself to begin to relax… and just let go of any thoughts.. allow yourself to forget the drudgeries of the day, bills, commitments or any discomfort…. Take in a deep breath, breathing in through the mouth.. hold to a count of five… and exhale through the nose. Again… feel with each inhalation.. warmth, healing…. With each exhalation a letting go… of all things that are pulling at you today… Now allow the solar energy to control the rhythm of your breath.. just lay back and let yourself go to a place of visions and dreams.. you are safe.. Spirit will watch over you on your journey. Stay for a time and upon your return… take in one large deep breath and exhale and with this breath give away all stress, anxieties or pain that is holding you this day. Go about the rest of the day with new vigor and energy. For those that are unable to be outside, try to be close to a window where you can look out and observe the sun or moon.. I try to make it as close to be outside as I again, like opening a window or having plants/stones close to where I am working. Even if you can only go out for a few moments.. it adds so much. • NOTE - the Solar-Lunar breath can be more understood also in terms of balance. The right nostril's breath controls solar rhythms and the left lunar rhythms, during the morning the lunar breath should be stronger and during the evening the solar. Blessings,
Joyce
