Hello and welcome,
This is your space to be real and to be raw.
To let go of the masks,
The roles,
The stories and simply come home to yourself.
Let your breath be your guide,
Inhale gently and exhale slowly.
You are not here to fix anything,
You are here simply as a reminder that in this moment it does not matter what you do for a living,
What matters is what your heart aches for.
Do you dare to dream?
Do you dare to dream again?
Can you allow yourself to long for something deeper?
It doesn't matter how old you are,
What matters is whether you are still willing to risk it,
To risk looking foolish for love,
For truth,
For the wild unpredictable adventure of being alive.
It doesn't matter where the planets sit in your chart,
I want to know,
Have you touched the centre of your own sorrow?
Have you let life break you wide open or has fear of more pain left you closed and curled inward?
Can you sit with pain,
Your own or another's without trying to fix it,
Without turning away,
Can you sit and simply be?
Can you stay present with joy,
Can you let it fill you?
All the way to the tips of your fingers and toes,
Without shrinking from its intensity,
Without asking it to be smaller,
Safer or quieter.
It doesn't matter if your story sounds polished or true,
What I want to know is,
Can you disappoint another to stay true to yourself?
Can you carry the weight of misunderstanding and still choose your soul?
Can you be faithless in the eyes of others in order to be faithful to the deepest truth inside you?
Can you see beauty even when life is messy,
Raw and not so pretty?
Can you drink from the well of your own life,
Even when it's quiet or dry or lonely?
Please take a breath in and breathe it out.
What sustains you from within when everything else falls away?
Can you be with yourself and I mean truly with yourself in the quiet empty moments?
Do you like the company you keep when you're alone?
This is not a meditation to answer all the questions,
It is a space to ask the right ones,
To get honest,
To get curious,
To come home to what's real.
Inhale and exhale.
You are not broken,
You are not behind,
You are not lost,
You are simply remembering layer by layer,
Step by step,
Breath by breath.
Thank you for your presence today,
For the courage to ask,
To feel,
To listen and may you walk forward a little lighter and a little more grounded and perhaps a little bit more in touch with what really matters.
Thank you for sharing this moment of truth with me.
