Make sure it feels right for you.
It’s your place in the sand and for this moment no one else’s.
Though you share it with all that have come before you.
Now turn toward the sea.
Notice the waves churning on the shore.
Some waves are rising gently to the shore.
Some crashing.
Some slowly flowing out to sea.
Some are sucked out underneath the ones rising.
All at the same time.
Feelings are like these waves.
Some come and go gently.
some come in fits and starts.
and some are storms.
Notice what feelings are now in the tide of your being.
Let your breathing be the guide.
Like a lighthouse illuminating the waves of your being.
Notice how these waves of feeling are shaping your breath.
Notice what feelings are churning in the waves.
See if each breath can widen the illumination of your shore.
As you inhale, notice each feeling alongside the breath.
Notice how it feels rising into your awareness.
Does it feel good?
Does it feel right-sized to your place in the sand?
If so, let yourself notice if there are other feelings pulsing alongside or underneath this one.
Can you make more room for more feelings?
Can you let them churn, and ebb, and flow?
If not, notice what happens if you give yourself more space.
More space to be the wide meeting of the sea and the shore.
Let yourself lay out fully in the sand.
Notice if you can let your waves of being churn.
Moving without judgement.
Making more room to understand this wave will come and go.
This feeling rises and falls.
And you remain.
