Take a double inhale, Tense all the muscles in your body. Exhale, Release. So we're going to do that again. We're going to do really, Really long exhales. So we're just like letting it all go. Sigh of relief kind of exhale. Here we go. Tense to your absolute maximum. Let everything vibrate. Nice, Long, Slow exhale. We're going to nestle into our seat and lengthen our body up out of that. Close your eyes. Gaze just slightly upward under closed eyelids. Breathe deeply in and out through your nose. The mind has a natural tendency to want to protect you and want to figure things out. In every single moment. What if it didn't need to do its job all the time? What if you could trust that you were already safe? That all is taken care of right now that needs to be taken care of. If you could take a moment and say thank you, Mind. For all the information. You've been giving me. For all the ways that you've tried to keep me safe. For all the ways that you've helped me excel in life. I'm going to give your mind that acknowledgement. So it knows that it's been heard. And that you appreciate the job it's been doing. Now you can say to your mind, We're going to sit here. For just a little bit. Side by side. And we're going to relax. We're going to take a break. You don't have any duties that you need to do right now, But just be with me. Imagine that you're taking a pair of scissors. All around your body and you're cutting all the cords that connect you to the world. And they're just cords of mental thought. So you're not cutting the connection. You're not cutting the amazing life that you want to live. You're cutting the need to always be in it. And attached to it as if the way to best live in it is to always be attached. So now you give yourself the opportunity to what if the best way to live in this world. Is also to Look at it. Or take a break from it. To gain perspective. But if there just wasn't anything you needed to take care of right now, From the outside world. What if what you were meant to take care of is inside you? And what if that was the best way to take care of all the outside things? So that's the training you get to give to your mind. Remember all the different personalities are sitting around the boardroom table that exist inside you. To say mind you don't always get to be in the driver's seat. There's also other voices that I'm going to listen to. For how I'm going to be in this world. Breathe deeply through the center of your spine. Imagine that as you breathe, That it's kind of like sweeping a glass clean. So with every breath, Especially the exhale, You're releasing everything that's in there. So then your insides just become this completely clear glass. Now notice how you can exist in this world. While also being completely light. Lightweighted, But you can also think about light. We're all just figments of imagination anyways. So we don't need to carry as much physical mass. Or like a concept. Concept doesn't have any weight. Why do we want to be this? We want to give ourselves more freedom. Freedom to look at life differently. Freedom of choice of how you're going to spend your time, Your thoughts, And your emotions in every moment. Tune in more deeply to self love. With every thought, With every choice. You've got to say, Is this the most loving thing that I could give to myself right now? It might have been every single moment. There was an option to do the most loving thing you could gift yourself. Maybe you need to gain some perspective around those choices. But how does each choice become the most loving thing you can give yourself? Keep breathing deeply through the center of your spine. Keep your eyes gazing slightly up. Muscles in your body soft and your breath deep. Let everything become integrated. That we are processing in this meditation and this sit and succeed session. And it become aligned with your new design. Taking the words that feel right. Feel your seat underneath you. Feel the air on your face. Slowly open your eyes. Peace. Amen.
