Welcome,
Beloved.
You have arrived.
We gather here to honor the deep,
Unmapped territories of the human heart,
Turning our gaze toward the sacred landscapes we carry within.
We enter now the frequency of the hallowed valley.
Life is a vast and beautiful terrain,
And sometimes the road leads us into the quiet,
Deep resonance of grief.
If you have arrived here today carrying the heavy,
Resonant weight of a love that has changed form,
Know that you are standing on holy ground.
You are navigating one of the most profound landscapes of the soul.
The place where the presence of what was love becomes a permanent part of your inner architecture.
Grief is the hallowed evidence that your heart is wide enough and brave enough to house a love so true that its echo remains a vital part of your song.
We are here to honor that echo.
In this valley,
We set down all urgency.
We are invited to simply be in the landscape,
To feel the cool,
Clear air of presence,
To notice the quiet stillness,
And to recognize that the ground beneath us is eternally trustworthy.
This feeling is a messenger of your own immense capacity.
We receive it now with quiet hands and a soft,
Available heart.
Allow your shoulders to settle,
Their weight releasing into the support of the moment.
Let the tension simply soften its grip,
Like mist dissolving in the morning sun.
Gently move your awareness into the internal space where your heart rests.
Turn your attention to your body,
Recognizing it as a continuous sanctuary of presence.
Feel the steady,
Constant weight of your form where it meets the ground.
The solid,
Ancient earth offering a seat for your humanity.
This connection to the earth is your enduring anchor.
Now,
Bring your softest attention inward toward the presence of your heart.
You are simply noticing its existence,
Allowing it to take up the space it needs.
Place a gentle hand upon your heart or your soft belly.
An authentic gesture of kindness offered this sacred wound of love.
Whisper inwardly with deep compassion.
I see you.
This love is here.
This resonance is mine.
Use the breath now as a guide to softness,
Moving the internal energy with profound grace.
Breathe in softly,
Drawing in a sense of gentle,
Unlimited space to surround your heart.
And as you exhale,
Allow your breath to lengthen,
A slow,
Soft,
Sustained release.
Let the exhale expand,
Inviting your entire system to settle into its essential state of safety.
Imagine that on every inhale,
You are drawing a quiet,
Emerald light to the very center of your core.
And on every long,
Slow exhale,
You are inviting the body to soften,
Relaxing into the deep,
Enduring well of resilience that remains constant.
You are safe here.
This resonance is a beautiful part of your journey.
While the core of your being remains a steady,
Radiant sun,
Carry the truth of your anchor,
The certainty of the ground with you as you slowly allow your eyes to open.
May you walk gently into the next moment,
Knowing that your heart is a wide and sacred valley,
Capable of holding the fullness of the light.
Thank you for tending to the soul ache with such reverence today.
Thank you for honoring your grief.
It is a profound honor to walk this territory by your side.
May you move through the world with the steady grace of one who is held by the earth and guided by the stars.
You are supported.
You are whole.
You are home.
