Are you ready for the reset? Let's get started. This will be our internal radiance our Goonam reset sequence. Rev your fonts together. Get ready. Let's do it together.

Hands to chest, calling in infinite creative consciousness three times. Breathing in. Oh, no more. I'm Full breath in. Big breath out.

Good. Okay. So we're gonna start by clearing the channel of the chakras. So you'll take your arms up over your head. You can stay seated for this one. Cross your thumbs and then extend upward through the arms as tall as you can, reaching, reaching up through the sides of the waist, pulling out of the hips, take your internal gaze. So you can close your eyes here and take your internal gaze up towards the tips of your fingers, right behind your closed eyelids.

And we're gonna stay here for 2 minutes. And as you're here, imagine even energy moving from the base of the spine, from the bottom of the pelvic floor, all the way up through Sashana Nadi, Pass the pelvis and the waist and the chest and the throat. Up through the 3rd eye center, the crown of the head, and then extending upward towards the hands. To clear right into your aura, right into your eighth chakra, and then slide it right back down. 8765-4321.

And again, rising back up. So there's no obstructions along the way. Starts inside moves up and moves out. Internal radiance, extending outward. Stay with long, smooth breath.

And see it. You can visualize it even as a gold liquid working its way upward, upward, upward, upward, upward, and you might find that it even affects the length of your spine. The reach of your arms. Last couple of breaths with this 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Take a full breath in.

And as you exhale, let your hand slide down to cover your chest, right hand on top of the chest, left hand on top of the right hand, let your chin bow in slightly. Of yourself, the touch of your own loving, healing hands. They are the instruments of action for the 4th Chakra for Anahata Chakra. Reminds us of reminds us of connection and compassion. Sympathy, empathy, forgiveness, selfless service Okay.

Give your hands a little shake out. Your legs a little shake out. We're gonna meet on hands and knees. Sweet and familiar cow and cat. So spread your fingers out and then try this. Flip your fingers around so that they face your knees.

Now if that's too much on the wrist, you can turn your hands out to the sides a bit instead. Otherwise, it's fingers straight back towards the knees. This really gets into the heart line meridian that runs up through the center of the hands and up through the center of the arms across the chest and down the other side. So cow and cat 2 minutes, inhale arch the spine look up. And on the exhale rounding the spine, widening the back of the heart, and then stay with that.

And you can move at your own breath pattern here or play along with me. I'm moving a bit slowly. Can roll the shoulders back, dip the chest down, lift the chin. And on the exhale, navel to spine, scooping the pelvis and just stay with it. And, again, eyes can be open or closed here.

Sometimes it's just nice to close down one sense and see if the others get more powerful. So with the eyes closed, you might notice the sound of the breath a bit more intently. Or the sensations running through the body? You know, can you extend the breath longer and therefore make the range of movement bigger. This is a nice opening for the wrist.

For the fingers. Really opens up the hands. Gonna stretch all the way up through the form and the bicep. Last couple of breaths with this. Last time.

And round. And then you can sit back for a moment and just Give your hands a little bit of a shake out. Your wrists a little shake out. And energy can redistribute itself there. And then we're gonna go into a downward facing dog. So hands are about shoulder width, feeder about hip width, tuck the toes under, lift the hips up, press the chest back towards the thighs.

If you want, pedal through your feet for a breath or 2. Just opening up the backs of the knees. And then we're gonna take a little pranam sequence, and a pranam is a is a bowing down. It's a surrender. It's an offering.

Beautiful, beautiful devotional shape. So try this. Just walk your hands back towards your feet, and you can bend your knees as much as you need to here. To keep the hands on the ground as you walk them back. From here, we're rising all the way up to stand. Urdva Hastasana.

Arms above the head look up, and you can cross your thumbs again here, taking the gaze right up towards the hands, pull the prayer right down through the midline, and fold forward. Again, you can bend your knees as much as you need to to get your hands down. Walk yourself out into a plank pose. And lower all the way down to your belly. You can drop your knees first if you need to.

Slide your arms out long in front of you and turn your palms upward and then drop your forehead down. Full surrender, full pranam. Take the hands back underneath your shoulders and move through hands and knees right back into downward facing dog. And we're gonna do that seven more times together. So eight times in total, one for each taka.

Walk your hands back towards your feet. Rising all the way up. Arms above the head, you might cross the thumbs the opposite way. Pull the prayer into you, folding your way down, Utshanasana, walk the hands back out, Lower all the way down to your belly, reach your arms out long in front of you. Palms turned upward forehead drops.

Hands back underneath your shoulders through hands and knees downward facing dog. And you can make this a moving meditation, right, walk the hands back, rising all the way up, arms above the head, look up, pull it into you and bow back down. Walking out. Lower all the way down. Reach your arms out long in front of you. Palms, turn up, forehead drops.

Slide your hands back underneath your shoulders, push back through hands and knees, downward facing dog. Walk the hands back towards the feet, rise all the way up, arms above the head, Join the palms, look up, pull it into you folding back down, walk your hands out, Lowering down all the way to your belly. Arms reach out. Palms turn up. Drop the head. Hands back underneath your shoulders, moving through hands and knees, downward facing dog, walk your hands back, rising back up.

Pull it into you folding back down. Walk it out, lowering down. Arms reach out, drop the forehead, palms up. Back underneath your shoulders, through hands and knees, downward facing dog, walk the hands back, Rise all the way up, arms above the head, looking up to your prayer, and pulling it right back into you. Walk the hands back out, back down to the ground, surrender, offer it out for an arm, hands back underneath your shoulders, through hands and knees, downward facing dog.

Walk your hands back. Rise all the way up, arms above the head, looking up, bring it into you, bring the inspiration, the imagination, and then offer it back out to make it manifest. Stretch the arms out long. Drop the head. Hands underneath your shoulders.

Push yourself back through hands and knees. Downward facing dog. Last time, walk the hands back. Rise all the way up, arms above the head, join the palms, bring it into you, pulling it back down, walk the hands out, lowering down full pranam, stretch the arms out long in front of you, turn palms up, let the forehead drop. Let's take a couple of breaths right there.

We're like, that's that's the work of our journey. That we work our way upwards towards imagination, towards inspiration. But then we also have to bring that back down and make it real, bring it back to earth. Can't just live in our heads. Can't even just live in our hearts.

Needs to live in the world. Alright. Work your way back up into a seat, please. Find your seat. You can sit in sukhasana or Vedrasana on a block, on a blanket. However, you're most comfortable, and we're gonna close with Push Paputa Muja.

So you'll take your hands into a prayer. Let your prayer fall open so you're making a little bowl with your hands. This is your push papuza mudra means handful of flowers. Eyes can close. Taking a few breaths there.

And perhaps the hands are open and ready to receive the blessings. And then when they come in just like the in breath, we send them back out. Just like the out breath. They become an offering. Our own personal Sadna.

Spiritual practice. How can we use the gifts that we've been given. For the evolving of ourselves, of our family, and our friends, of our community. Of the planet. It can seem like a tall order.

Never underestimate. Power of an individual. To create shifts. The smallest ripple works its way outward. Full breath in.

Exhale it away. And back into Angeli Mudra. We'll close with satnam. Truth, I am that long. Sat short numb.

Breathing in. Nam. Thank you for joining me. Namaste.
