Transcript

I want you to close your eyes.

And with your eyes closed,

I want you to begin to bring your awareness to your breath.

Gently exhaling all of the oxygen out of the mouth,

Allowing the body to decompress,

And gently taking in a deep breath through the nose.

Just allowing yourself the opportunity to truly connect with the breath.

And again,

This gentle exhale out of the mouth,

Completely releasing any tension,

Allowing yourself to decompress and let go.

And this deep inhale through your nose,

Allowing for this expansion,

Allowing for this opportunity for you to truly open up,

To allow yourself this deeper connection.

And I want you to begin to just notice this beautiful rhythm of breath.

Each breath in is this opportunity for you to truly open up,

To allow yourself to be part of this bigger picture.

Understanding in this moment that we are not just taking in the breath right in front of us,

But using the power of the mind,

We are allowing ourself to expand the breath's capacity.

And in order to do this,

I want you to imagine that you are pulling in the oxygen from the entire room that you find yourself sitting in.

And you notice that in order for you to take in this more intentional breath,

To take in this bigger breath,

That the mind must also expand its awareness.

And so you start to imagine yourself pulling in this white light,

This oxygen,

From the entire room that you find yourself in.

Allowing for yourself to take in a bigger and more intentional breath.

And let's take this breath even further,

Expanding it even larger.

As you breathe in,

You're receiving and allowing yourself to imagine as if you were taking in this oxygen from the entire city in which you live.

Imagining yourself pulling in all of this energy,

All of this white light,

All of this oxygen from every plant,

Every animal,

The entire environment,

All of the nature that surrounds you.

And just beginning to bring the mind to an even bigger space.

Noticing that the breath expands as the mind expands.

Understanding how these two work together in perfect harmony and balance.

And as you breathe in,

Now imagining yourself pulling in this oxygen from the entire continent that you live on.

Imagining yourself just floating above the entire earth.

As you breathe in,

You are now taking in this oxygen from the entire earth itself.

Taking in the biggest and fullest breath of the day.

And you may begin to notice how much deeper,

How much more expansive the oxygen is.

How much more connected to the breath you are.

And in this moment,

You begin to understand and realize that life and your breath are the same thing.

That in truth,

We live in a world that is full of endless opportunity.

Full of endless abundance.

And the more intentional we are about how we take that in,

What we allow ourselves to see,

Experience,

And have,

What we allow ourself to receive,

To open up to,

Is no different than the intentionality behind the breath.

Understanding that the more mindful the breath,

The more mindful your life.

So again,

Bringing the awareness back to this bigger breathing.

Pulling in this oxygen from the entire earth.

Understanding that just like life,

In the breath there are no limits to how we choose to take this breath in.

How big we choose to be in it.

It is just about bringing the mind to an intended goal and allowing yourself to receive it.

And now that you feel this deeper connection within your body,

Now that you feel this deeper connection in your mind,

You feel any limitations,

Any barriers in the way from you just fully receiving,

Fully opening up,

Fully allowing.

You begin to just feel this sense of ease,

Peace,

And trust wash over you.

Any tension in the face,

The jawline,

Completely releasing any tension and letting go.

Feeling your shoulders and neck relaxing deeper.

Feeling your body just beginning to let go of the control.

Allowing yourself to just deeply decompress until you feel completely held up and supported by the ground beneath you.

Bringing your awareness to whatever foundation you may be resting upon.

Bringing the awareness to the stability,

This foundation beneath you.

Understanding in this moment that you are now connecting to the earth.

Connecting to the roots.

And you begin to imagine with each breath in as if there are roots growing from the base of your spine,

Anchoring you down to the core of the universe.

And in this moment you begin to feel held.

You begin to feel fully seen.

You know that you are supported no matter what is happening around you.

No matter what chaos or difficulties or illusions of worries or stress.

No matter what abundance or opportunities are presenting.

There is now just the stillness inside of you that knows that there is this connection,

This support.

That you are held.

That you have always been held.

That you have never been alone.

And there has always been this foundation beneath you supporting you,

Holding you,

Giving you the foundation to reach up as tall as you want.

And you start to feel this immense gratitude for life,

For your body,

For everything you have and everything you don't have.

There's just this moment where you reflect on your life whether the past or what could be or just in this moment now.

Allowing yourself to just align with this beautiful energy of gratitude,

Appreciation.

Allowing yourself to open up more to what is already there.

Giving yourself the opportunity to deepen the receiving,

Deeper the connection to what is already in your life.

Allowing yourself to accept the fullness of what is there.

And this allowing of this receiving,

This letting in of what is already there.

It doesn't prohibit us from going forward.

It doesn't prohibit us from having more.

It is simply just an act of appreciation,

Of receiving,

Of allowing into your life everything that you deserve.

Allowing into your life everything that you've already created.

Allowing yourself this opportunity to reflect on who you have chosen to become.

And in this moment everything makes sense without anything needing to be explained.

There's just this sense of knowing,

The sense of beingness,

This full trust and understanding that you move through life deeply connected to your instincts,

Deeply open to receive.

Allowing yourself this space to just truly allow on the universe's time for what is to be.

And you begin to understand in this moment that it is safe for you to release the control.

It is safe for you to surrender.

It is safe for you to find a place of support from below you and above you.

The roots of the earth and the energy from the universe balancing you out.

And in this moment you start to understand that this next chapter,

This next journey for you is truly just about opening up,

Receiving,

Allowing in.

And you start to understand here that you are in this beautiful place where you are just able to receive more abundance.

You are able to appreciate and experience things to its fullest depths.

And you hear these words in your mind,

Creator of all that is,

I am ready.

Bring in the abundance that is mine by divine right for the good of myself and all of mankind.

And just hearing these words moving into you like rivers of abundance for the good of you but also for the good of all of mankind.

And you start to understand that the abundance is so much more than what is outside of you.

The full abundance is the ability to appreciate and honor what is within you and what is around you.

You begin to just feel yourself come into this perfect harmony,

This perfect resonance with life.

You feel your nervous system,

You feel your mind,

You feel your whole body just completely decompressing.

Aligning with the space of perfect love and perfect harmony.

This beautiful space of balance,

Of receiving,

Of allowing.

And effortlessly allowing yourself to let go of control,

Release any heaviness from the body.

And you start to notice how easy this is to do just as the breath breathes in,

Opens up,

Receives without any effort.

We are able to exhale and release and let go without any effort.

Again understanding that the breath is mirroring life,

That we are able to just allow in,

Receive,

Take what is there but we do not hold on to it.

And we equally allow ourselves to breathe out and let go of what once brought us life but no longer does.

And just find this beautiful rhythm,

This beautiful peace,

This beautiful space of love.

And on your own time when you feel ready you can begin to find some gentle movement and your fingers and your toes.

Gently opening the eyes and just noticing how much lighter everything feels,

How much more open you feel.

And you're allowed to hold on to this connection as you move through your day,

Just allowing everything to be peaceful.

And when you are fully ready to come out of it,

Go into the day,

Go into the evening with this connection.

Reviews

Beautiful voice and uplifting words. I especially liked the prayer towards the end. I benefit more from a slower, more hypnotic delivery and emotional ambiance, but that is just my preference.
