Welcome to today.
I will be on my side.
So I'd like to invite you into a simple but deeply meaningful intention.
To be on your side.
It does sound simple,
Doesn't it?
And yet,
Many of us find it much easier to stand beside other people than we do ourselves.
We offer them patience,
Understanding,
Encouragement.
But when it comes to our own heart.
We can sometimes be quite critical.
So,
Today let's choose something different.
Let's choose to be on our own side.
So,
Find your comfy space,
Warm and cozy.
Gently close your eyes.
Feel your body soften.
Take a slow,
Easy breath in.
Gently breathe out,
Releasing any stress or tension.
Breathe in.
And breathe out.
Feel your shoulders soften.
Relax your jaw.
Feel your neck melt.
For these next few moments.
You are just here in this moment.
So simply allow yourself to settle.
Take another gentle breath.
Notice the rhythm of your breathing.
Your breath is always with you,
Always returning.
So,
There may have been times when you've replayed conversations or focused on what you should have done.
Maybe wishing that you were understanding more.
If any of that feels familiar,
You're not alone.
We all have that inner voice.
But in this session we're gently inviting another voice to sit with you.
It's a quieter voice.
A kinder voice.
It's the voice of a good friend.
So now you see yourself walking through a peaceful woodland.
The morning light filters softly through the trees,
And a gentle breeze is stirring the leaves above you.
Birdsong drifts through the air.
And there is no rush here,
No destination to reach.
It's just one gentle step after another.
And as you walk you notice that someone kind is beside you.
It is someone who believes in you completely.
It is someone who sees your amazing strengths,
Even on the days that you have forgotten them.
Now as you walk,
Just notice how safe it feels.
With their quiet encouragement.
Then very gently you notice something.
It's the kindness that you've been hearing,
The gentle encouragement.
And the understanding.
You realize that it isn't coming from someone else at all,
But it's been within you all along.
And now you choose to listen to it.
Because you deserve your own kindness,
Your own patience.
Your own understanding.
Your own self-vowels.
So take a slow breath in here.
And as you breathe out,
Just repeat,
Today I am on my side.
Again,
Breathing in.
Gently breathing out.
I choose kindness.
One more gentle breath.
Breathing in.
.
.
I don't have to be perfect.
And breathing out.
I only need to be human to be me.
Just breathe those words deep into your heart.
Beautiful.
Now just think of one small way that you could be on your side today.
Maybe it's taking a break.
Saying no when you need to.
Resting.
Asking for help.
Or simply speaking to yourself with greater compassion.
And know that you are doing the very best that you can.
Now these small moments,
They really matter.
Because every time you choose kindness towards yourself,
You strengthen trust.
You create peace.
And you remind yourself.
That you are not alone.
Because now you have become your own companion.
So just take a slow nourishing breath in.
And just breathe out with ease knowing that you are on your side.
And as you return to your day,
Carry this gentle intention with you.
Simply lovingly,
Today I will be on my side.
So,
Thank you so much for sharing these moments with me.
And may you walk through today with the same compassion you so freely offer to others.
And may you remember.
That you are so worthy of your self-love.
Self-kindness.
And your self-trust.
Take your time.
And remember that you truly are on your side.
Namaste,
My friend.
