Welcome to beautiful as you are.
So just take a moment to settle in and just feel like you're stepping into a quieter space.
Find your comfy space,
Warm and cozy,
And just let your body begin to unwind.
Your shoulders are softening,
Your breath is easing.
Nothing to hold on,
Just gently arrive exactly where you are in this moment.
Softly close your eyes and as you settle in just begin to notice your breath.
It's moving in,
Moving out,
Naturally,
Effortlessly.
It's like the rhythm of the ocean or the soft movement of wind through the trees.
Just feel it there flowing softly in and out.
In nature,
Everything moves in seasons.
There are times of growth,
Times of stillness,
Times of letting go.
And the trees,
They don't question when their leaves fall.
They don't rush themselves to bloom.
They simply follow their own timing.
And just like that,
You are allowed to be exactly where you are in this moment.
And just like that,
You are allowed to grow,
To rest,
To begin again.
You are living and evolving right now.
So just gently begin to imagine that you are walking through a quiet,
Natural place.
The air is so fresh here.
The ground is so soft beneath your feet.
You are surrounded by trees and their branches are moving lightly in the breeze.
In the distance,
You begin to hear it,
The steady,
Soothing sound of flowing water.
And as you move closer,
The sound is becoming clearer,
Fuller.
It's a beautiful waterfall and it's flowing freely and endlessly.
As you approach this waterfall,
You step into a clearing.
And there it is.
It's water cascading over smooth rock.
It's falling in a continuous,
Effortless stream.
The air around it is cool,
Filled with a soft mist.
There are lovely tiny droplets catching the light and it's creating this gentle shimmer all around you.
And when you're ready,
You move closer.
You feel the ground beneath your feet,
Steady,
Supportive.
And slowly,
You step beneath this waterfall.
The warm water is flowing down over your head,
Your shoulders,
Your back,
Your chest and belly,
Your arms,
Hands,
Fingers.
It's flowing down over your hips,
Legs,
Feet and toes.
This beautiful,
Healing water is washing away any doubt.
And just notice the sensation,
The constant,
Steady flow.
And with each moment,
Anything that you've been carrying,
Any tension,
Any quiet self-doubt,
Any feeling of not being enough,
It begins to soften.
You don't need to force it away because the water is carrying it for you.
Feel this beautiful flow of water washing,
Clearing,
Releasing.
As this healing water continues to flow,
You begin to notice something within it.
It's tiny points of light.
They are soft,
Golden,
Shimmering gently like the faintest sparkle woven into the water.
Now,
As this waterfall cascades down over your body,
These small nights begin to settle.
They are resting lightly on your skin,
Across your shoulders,
Your arms and your hands,
Your chest,
Resting down on your back,
Your stomach,
Moving down to your hips,
Your legs,
Your feet.
And everywhere this beautiful water touches,
These soft points of light remain.
And they are gently illuminating.
It's as if your body is being seen clearly,
Kindly.
This body that has carried you through every moment,
Every breath,
Every experience.
Your body has been adapting,
Supporting,
Holding you even when it was hard.
And maybe just here beneath this healing waterfall,
You can begin to soften towards it.
Not needing to love everything,
But just allowing a little more kindness.
And those small lights beginning to gather.
A soft,
Warm glow.
It's something that was always there.
A quiet,
Natural beauty.
Breathe in.
Just as I am.
And breathe out.
I am enough.
Breathe in.
Just as I am.
And breathe out.
I am more than enough.
The water is continuing to flow,
Effortless,
Constant,
Just like life moving forward.
And just like nature,
You are allowed to grow,
To change,
To evolve,
All in your own time and in your own wonderful way.
And as Sonia Renee Taylor once said,
Your body is not an apology,
It is something to live in,
To care for,
To meet with kindness.
And the water,
It continues to flow,
Steady,
Constant,
Effortless.
The warmth of those soft golden lights are still resting gently across your body.
And as you stand there,
You begin to sense there is nothing more you need to release.
Nothing more that you need to become.
So slowly,
In your own time,
You begin to step out from beneath this waterfall.
You feel the water soften as it moves from a steady flow to a gentle trickle,
And then to stillness.
And as you step away,
The air feels warmer now.
It's soft against your skin.
And those tiny points of light,
They remain,
Not fading,
Not disappearing,
But settling into you.
Like a quiet glow beneath the surface,
Moving with you,
Breathing with you.
And as you take a few slow steps,
You feel the ground beneath your feet.
You feel how supported,
Steady,
And how you are a part of this natural world.
And just like the waterfall flows without questioning itself,
And just like the seasons change without doubt,
You too can move forward just beautifully as you are.
And as you begin to return,
Just bring your awareness gently back.
And now there is something you can carry with you.
A quiet relationship.
It's a way of being where you meet yourself with a little more understanding.
A little more kindness.
A gentle friendship that doesn't demand anything from you,
That doesn't ask you to change,
But simply stays with you.
Through your changing seasons,
Through your good days and your more difficult ones,
Through every single version of you.
And this is where self-love really begins.
Not as something you have to feel it all at once,
But as something that grows,
Quietly,
Steadily,
In moments like this.
These are the moments where you pause,
Where you breathe,
Where you remember that you are already worthy of your own care.
You are so deserving of your own kindness,
Of your own self-compassion,
Of your own self-love.
And as you move gently back into your day,
You don't need to carry the whole feeling,
Just a small thread of it.
It's the softness in the way that you speak to yourself,
A gentleness in the way you move through the world.
A quiet awareness that you are totally on your own side.
So you are allowed to be exactly as you are,
That has held you,
Supported you,
Evolved and adapted with you.
A beautiful reunion.
So when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Roll your shoulders if that feels good,
Gently stretch and just come back to this present moment.
Take this feeling of love,
Of awareness with you into your day.
Namaste,
My friend.
