Hello and welcome.
This is a practice to connect to yourself.
Let's lovingly disconnect from the stimulation of the world,
Other people's ideas and experiences and emotions and return to yourself.
It's time to turn the volume up on yourself and down on everyone and everything else.
So find a comfortable position and let your body breathe.
Feeling yourself breathing,
Letting go of any tension,
Releasing anything that doesn't serve you.
You are a sovereign being.
Yes,
You are.
You are you.
You deserve to have space for yourself,
Space to connect with yourself,
Space to be in your body,
Space to feel your emotions and be in your own experience.
You are the center of gravity.
Nobody else,
Nothing else.
You.
Feeling your body breathe and placing your attention on the most important person,
You.
You can close your eyes if that feels comfortable,
Or simply soften your gaze,
Feeling your body relax,
Feeling your body supported.
Sinking into your seat,
Feeling more and more supported with each breath and letting go.
And taking a deep breath in through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.
Again,
Breathe in and as you breathe out,
Letting something go.
Inhaling,
Filling your body with oxygen and energy,
And exhaling,
Letting go.
Again,
As you inhale,
Say your name softly to yourself.
I'll do it with you.
Inhaling,
Jessica.
And exhaling,
Everyone and everything else.
Inhaling yourself and exhaling everyone and everything else.
One more time,
Inhaling and exhaling.
Now,
Allowing your breath to return to a natural rhythm,
Letting it flow.
Here you are,
Taking time for yourself.
This is a pause,
A liminal moment between doing and being,
Between the world's demands and your own deeper knowing.
This is a moment of sovereignty,
Listening inward.
What is true for you and honoring your truth?
Sovereignty is choosing how you meet the world,
Not just how the world meets you.
You have choice.
You have options.
Letting your body breathe.
Now,
Gently bring your attention to your heart space.
You might place a hand on your chest if you'd like.
Feeling the warmth of your own presence,
Turning towards inner space,
Feeling how delicious it is,
Asking yourself softly,
What is true for me?
How do I feel?
What do I want?
What is mine to carry?
And what is not?
Where do I choose to place my energy?
Letting whatever arises come to you.
There's no right answer,
Just your truth in this moment.
And you have permission to be a person and change your mind or have a different experience.
At any moment,
You are sovereign.
Feeling into your aliveness,
Your awakeness,
Your you-ness,
Your essence.
Tuning in to remembering who you are,
Even when the world forgets,
Even when you forget.
Your sovereignty,
Your aliveness,
Your essence,
Your values.
This is the place to live from,
To lead from,
To create from,
To love from.
This is the place for you to return again and again if that's what you need.
I am rooted in myself.
I am rooted in myself.
I choose how I meet this day and the people around me.
I have options.
I am sovereign in my attention,
My energy,
And my presence.
Now,
Imagine the rest of this day ahead,
Like a path in front of you.
And imagine yourself walking it as the sovereign being that you are.
Walking with the sureness of you.
Moving through the day from your center,
From ground zero.
You are allowed to choose.
You are allowed to have needs.
You are allowed to pause.
You are allowed to choose.
You are allowed to make requests.
You are allowed to be in your body.
What else would you like to allow yourself?
Taking a deep breath in and breathing out fully.
Feeling more and more anchored in yourself with each breath.
Gently wiggling your fingers,
Your toes.
Letting your body stretch if it wants to stretch.
When you're ready,
Opening your eyes,
Feeling into your grounded presence.
May you move with sovereignty,
Attunement,
And self-love.
Thank you for practicing.
