Welcome to an inward motion audio,

Taking a breath in to prepare,

Breathing it all out.

Does the life you desire seem to fall out of your fingers as if holding sand in attempts to keep it together?

When you envision your life looking backwards,

Reflect on the moments that meant the most to you.

These important moments could be anything.

Perhaps a day at the park with a loved one,

A solo hike,

A great movie date,

A cup of tea,

A graduation,

A party,

A great night's rest,

Or watching the sunrise.

These moments added up to bring you here,

Now,

Right where you are currently.

Some of these moments may have been planned and went exactly as you had expected,

As you had hoped,

But my guess is that many of the good times in life were merely unexpected.

There was an allowance to let things land as they may,

To embrace the moment as it presented.

It was letting the sand in your hands fall away,

Knowing it was not necessary.

Whatever remained would be exactly what you needed to create your masterpiece sandcastle.

When we try to create the life that we want,

We can feel as if we're being let down when we focus on the sand that isn't sticking,

But when we allow it to take shape,

The sandcastle will start to form into something we hadn't expected,

But we can take pride that we did it.

You did it.

You created this by seeing it for what it is,

Noticing the height,

The structure,

The moat,

And that it needed water to really stick.

It needed more than sand,

More than your hands.

It needed the free-flowing water to come in to help solidify it.

What kind of free flow do you need in your life to solidify your desires?

What kind of awareness is needed in your life to see it as it is,

The reality of what is,

To see the potential,

The possibility,

The prospects?

Pause and reflection for a moment,

Allowing these answers to come to you.

Breathing with them,

Dancing with them,

Picturing them in your mind's eye,

Allowing it to take shape,

To take form in your full being,

Your body,

Your heart,

Your mind,

Your spirit.

Breathe with it.
