Meet Me in the Middle I Arizona Trauma Institute I Somatic Exercises

Описание: The purpose for this activity is to find an inner alignment and to start to feel comfortable in the body. This activity can be done sitting in a chair or standing up, but I recommend standing up if you are trying to increase your energy. Let’s start by gently rocking side to side or forward and backwards, whichever is comfortable for you. But the idea is that you are trying to find your middle and once you feel comfortable in a position that feels like your middle, you want to start to focus on your breath by taking a deep breath in and out. Next, you are going to gently close your eyes, now this middle position should feel grounded and strong. You should feel your whole body supported by your feet, then again focusing in on your breath, gently imagine a ray of sunshine coming through the ceiling or wherever you might be. Imagine it is shining down through that middle position, coming through the crown of your head, passing straight down the spine, and all the way down to your feet. Then it travels right back up those strong feet, strong pasture, and right back out to the top. Think about what feels best for you, the sun coming through the top or flowing right back up in your feet, and just breathe that warmth in. Now you can stay in this position as long as you’d like and when you are ready, gently open your eyes.
