Hi,
I m Melinda and I m honored to welcome you to the 7 Day Sacred Vitality Reset here at Be With Melinda.
This series is an invitation to come home to yourself through breath,
Reflection and ancient wisdom.
Each day you ll receive a teaching,
A prayer and a practice to help you harmonize your body,
Breath and spirit.
Day 1 is about embracing radical self-responsibility.
The theme is separation of light from darkness and stepping into clarity.
We begin just as the creation story begins,
With light.
But not just the creation of light,
The separation of light from darkness.
And God said,
Let there be light.
And there was light.
And God saw that the light was good.
And God separated the light from the darkness.
Genesis 1.
34 This act of sacred distinction is our starting place.
Light was not created to erase the dark,
But to coexist with clarity.
To be named.
To be known.
To be held in right relationship.
So too your journey begins by naming what is light in you.
And what still lives in shadow.
You are not here to reject the darkness.
You are here to reclaim your power to separate,
To discern,
To direct,
To choose.
This is the essence of radical self-responsibility.
Close your eyes.
Breathe gently into the center of your being.
With each inhale,
Invite in illumination,
Clarity,
Vision,
Presence.
With each exhale,
Release the fog of blame,
Confusion,
Or powerlessness.
Feel the ground beneath you.
Let it hold you.
Let the truth settle.
You are not broken.
You are becoming.
And the light is already within you.
Now affirm within.
I am the one who names the light in my life.
I take sacred responsibility for what I carry and what I release.
I no longer confuse the dark with danger.
I choose to walk forward with both humility and power.
As you move through this day,
Reflect.
Where in your life is clarity emerging from chaos?
What part of you is ready to own the light you've been hiding from?
And where are you still waiting for someone else to flip the switch?
Responsibility is not about control.
It's about ownership.
It's about stepping out of the shadow.
Not by force,
But by choice.
Let us close in prayer.
Holy source of light and shadow,
Separate from me what I cannot yet distinguish.
Give me the courage to see clearly.
And the softness to accept what I find.
May I honor the sacred contrast in my life.
And step forward today with integrity,
Clarity,
And peace.
And so it is.
Relax.
Breathe.
Return.
And carry this light with you.
Not to chase away the dark,
But to illuminate your path ahead.
And now a gentle invitation to help you carry this practice into your day.
You might choose to journal a single sentence that names the light you're reclaiming.
Or,
If movement calls to you,
Take a slow,
Mindful walk.
Notice how light and shadow meet around you.
And let that be your silent prayer.
You can also return to today's affirmation whenever doubt arises.
Let it guide you toward clarity.
Remember,
Sacred vitality begins with sacred choice.
Today,
Choose to see clearly.
Thank you.
