Beloved,
Welcome to this quiet moment,
A space carved out just for your becoming.
I invite you to settle gently.
Feel the weight of your being sinking into the cushion,
The chair,
The earth beneath you.
Notice the breath,
Soft and rhythmic.
It is here,
In this quiet,
Steady rhythm,
That we begin to gather ourselves.
As the mind begins to stir and stretch into consciousness,
We sometimes find that pieces of our attention have already wandered.
A fragment of worry is clinging to a thought of yesterday.
A piece of planning is already stretching toward the tasks of the future.
Your presence,
Sweet one,
Is scattered like soft petals on the wind,
Reaching outward before you've finally fully rooted inward.
This is simply the habit of giving ourselves away too quickly.
Your energy,
Your vital living light,
Yearns for a cohesive home.
It needs to be held close,
Right here,
Inside the sanctuary of your own skin.
With a deep,
Soft inhale,
Feel the profound invitation from your center.
A soft,
Magnetic call asking every wandering fragment of your awareness to return.
Return to the present moment.
Return to the source of your peace.
Now,
Bring your awareness deep into the gentle,
Receptive space of your heart.
See a warm,
Calming light beginning to bloom there.
It is soft,
White,
Tinted with a hopeful,
Gentle gold.
This light is your inherent coherence.
It is the feeling of being perfectly whole and present.
Imagine this gentle light softly absorbing all the scattered threads of your attention.
The anxiety.
The emotional residue.
There is no force needed.
The energy is simply being loved back into wholeness.
With every inhale,
Feel this light growing warmer,
Denser,
And more encompassing in your chest.
Inhale,
I gently reclaim my peace.
Exhale,
I release the need to reach or strive.
You are not fixing or fighting.
You are simply allowing yourself to become whole.
Rest in the feeling of this gathered,
Coherent light.
This feeling itself is your gentle boundary.
It is a soft field of knowing.
A perimeter of self-love.
It allows kindness,
Support,
And truth to flow in with ease.
While anything that seeks to drain,
Scatter,
Or diminish your quiet presence simply meets this clear,
Soft surface and is gently redirected.
Whisper this affirmation to the warmth in your chest.
I am health.
I am love.
I am worthy of my own peace.
This morning,
Your practice is to remember the feeling of this cohesive light.
When a sudden demand or worry arises,
Simply draw your attention back to the warmth in your heart,
Allowing the light to be your guide and your gentle protector.
Take one final deep breath.
As you exhale,
Imagine anchoring this feeling of wholeness into the earth beneath you,
Making your peace undeniable.
The peace you experienced in the dark of night is still with you,
Fully present.
You are not meant to be endlessly extended,
But profoundly and beautifully present.
Move gently from this space when you are ready.
Trust that you are whole.
You are gathered,
And you are already worthy of the quiet joy you have claimed.
