Welcome beautiful soul to this moment of sacred beginning.
My invitation is that you simply allow yourself to gently settle in to this moment.
This one in particular.
Allow yourself to find a position that feels just right for your body in this moment.
Sitting down,
Lying down,
Whatever's comfortable and simply settle in.
Receive the comfort and allow yourself to truly land here with me in this moment.
Take a gentle breath and another in.
And as you exhale let yourself arrive fully.
Releasing whatever came before this moment and beginning to create space for whatever may want to emerge.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Simply notice the quality of your breathing.
No need to change anything.
Just witness this beautiful rhythm that sustains you,
That has sustained you breath by breath,
Moment by moment,
In and out.
Feel the gentle rise of your ribs as air flows in and the soft release as it flows back out.
This dance of receiving and letting go that happens so effortlessly within you.
It happens for you.
Now tune in to the places where your body meets stillness.
Those places where you are held and supported.
Allowing that support to be complete.
Releasing,
Trusting that you can soften here for this moment.
You can just let go.
Starting with your feet,
Just releasing any holding,
Any tension and moving up through your legs,
Softening your hips,
Your belly,
Each part of you invited to simply rest.
Your chest expanding easily with each breath,
Your shoulders relaxing,
Melting away from your ears,
Your arms soft at your sides,
Your hands open and relaxed.
And your face softening around your eyes,
Loosening your jaw,
Your forehead smooth and peaceful,
Just letting go.
Breathing in and breathing out.
From this space,
I invite you to gently place one hand over your heart.
Simply feel that steady rhythm beneath your palm.
A rhythm that has carried you to this very moment,
To this threshold in your life.
A threshold is a sacred space.
It is the place between what was and what will be.
You are standing at such a new,
Something that calls to the very deepest parts of who you are.
Breathing in courage and breathing out any doubt.
Noticing what it feels like in your body to acknowledge your own bravery,
However large or small you may feel that to be.
Recognizing that simply being here,
Choosing this journey,
Is an act of profound courage.
Take a moment to honor yourself for arriving at this threshold.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Not everyone chooses to step toward growth when life invites them to transform.
Honoring yourself for this choice.
As you continue breathing gently,
I invite you to imagine that you are touching the earth.
That you are standing,
Sitting,
Or lying down on the earth.
Connected,
Whether in a green meadow,
On the beach,
In your garden.
Connected to the earth.
Grounded.
Supported.
Reminding you that you belong here,
That you are safe to begin.
Tuning back into your heart.
This heart that has sustained you,
That has beat for you every day of your life.
Tuning into your heart and offering it love.
Imagining a warm glow around your heart.
The light of possibility of all that awaits on the other side of this threshold.
This light is your readiness,
Your willingness to discover who you are becoming.
To embrace this next chapter with curiosity and with grace.
Breathing out.
In this stillness,
I invite you to ask yourself this question.
What quality do I most want to bring with me as I cross this threshold in my life?
Whatever arises is perfect for you.
Perhaps it's courage,
Or curiosity,
Or compassion for yourself.
Whatever it is,
Honor it,
Receive it,
And feel that quality settling into your body.
Becoming part of your breath,
Part of your heartbeat.
Available to you whenever you need it.
You are not walking this path alone.
There is support all around you,
Seen and unseen,
And you are worthy of all the love and encouragement that this journey will bring.
Breathing in your readiness and breathing out any fear.
Breathing out.
As we gently prepare to close this meditation,
Bring your awareness once more to that hand over your heart.
Allow yourself to feel that steady rhythm that has and will continue to accompany you through every threshold in your life.
You have chosen to begin.
You have chosen yourself.
You have chosen growth.
And this is beautiful.
Breathing in.
I'm breathing out.
As you begin to step into what comes next,
I invite you to simply notice what it feels like to move through your day knowing that you are standing at a sacred threshold,
And to wonder what small invitations for growth might just be waiting for you to recognize them.
When you're ready,
Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes,
Perhaps stretch gently,
And if they have been closed,
I invite you to slowly open your eyes.
As you move forward,
Carry this sense of sacred beginning with you,
Knowing that you are exactly where you need to be,
Standing at a sacred threshold.
Standing courageously at the threshold of your own becoming.
Thank you for sharing this practice with me.
I look forward to continuing.
Blessings upon you,
Beautiful friend.
