I invite you to find a quiet space and a comfortable seated position and closing down the eyes just allow yourself to land gently.
We'll take a deep inhalation through the nose and release it through the mouth with a sigh and again deep inhalation through the nose and let it go with a sigh and another deep inhalation and then let it go with a sigh and then just starting to relax the shoulders,
Allow your jaw to soften,
Allow your belly to release any tension,
You don't need to hold anything in right now,
There's nowhere else to be,
There's nothing else to fix,
This moment is enough,
You are enough.
I'd like you to feel the weight of your body wherever you're resting,
Notice the parts of you touching the earth and just let yourself be held,
Let yourself be here in this moment and if you're carrying any tension or pressure imagine your exhalation gently dissolving it with no force,
No judgment,
Just breath by breath letting go of the fight to be anywhere else than here and I'd like you to repeat gently in your mind,
I allow myself to be exactly where I am,
I allow myself to be exactly where I am,
I welcome this moment just as it is,
I welcome this moment just as it is,
I release the pressure to be anywhere else,
I release the pressure to be anywhere else,
I honor the pace of my life,
I honor the pace of my life,
Now I'd like you to imagine yourself walking along a slow winding path,
The air is calm,
The light is warm and maybe it's a path you're familiar with but this time as you walk you move slowly,
Each step feels intentional,
Grounded and unrushed,
There's no destination,
No one waiting for you to catch up and as you continue walking you come across a beautiful blue wildflower growing gently beside the path and something about this flower mesmerizes you,
It's not trying to be seen,
It's not blooming all the way yet,
It's not at its tallest or its brightest or its biggest but something about it just the way it is completely captures you,
You take a moment to pause,
You don't bend down and open its petals,
You don't question why it's not further along,
You don't tell it to bloom faster,
You simply stand there and admire it exactly as it is,
With no rush,
No pressure,
No expectation,
You admire this flower in its pure raw form and in that moment you realize what if I could see myself the same way,
What if I could stop trying to rush and simply honor where I am,
Let yourself take a deep breath and with each exhalation feel the pressure to perform start to loosen,
Just like the flower you don't need to have all the answers,
You don't need a five-year plan,
You don't even need to feel certain,
All you need is this very moment,
This breath and you are allowed to be here exactly as you are,
You don't need to fight for clarity,
You don't need to force healing,
So you can stop gripping so tightly and right now just accept yourself,
Let yourself be held by the not knowing and for a moment just feel what it's like to belong to this exact version of yourself,
You are safe here,
You are allowed to simply be and not perform and slowly slowly I'd like you to repeat one more time,
I allow myself to be exactly where I am,
I allow myself to be exactly where I am,
I welcome this moment just as it is,
I welcome this moment just as it is,
I release the pressure to be anywhere else,
I release the pressure to be at the pace of my life,
I honour the pace of my life and I'd like you to bring your palms to your heart centre and take a deep inhalation and just letting this sink into your whole being and when you're ready you start to gently blink your eyes open and close and bring your awareness back into the room taking this softness with you because you're exactly where you're supposed to be
