Hello my friend.
And welcomed this meditation.
As you settle into this moment.
I invite you to leave your worries,
Your stressors,
Anything that has been.
Taking space in your mind and your heart.
Leave them metaphorically at the door.
Feel free to.
Physically bringing your hands into a cupped position.
Imagining that you're filling them with all of the things that will keep you from deeply relaxing into this moment.
Things that happened today.
Things on your to-do list.
Anything that you think will be distracting or be clawing at your mind for your attention.
Take them in the palm of your hand.
And gently place them to the side.
Letting them know that you will return to them.
After this time with yourself.
They will not be forgotten.
You will be back for them.
Now find a comfortable position.
And take your first meaningful grounding breath in.
And release.
Another deep breath in through your nose.
And exhale through your mouth.
You Feel your body begin to soften.
As you enter this space,
This moment.
My friend Today,
I am here to tell you that you are right on time.
No matter what it is.
That you're chasing,
No matter what goals you have.
You are exactly where you need to be in this moment.
There is time.
There is space even if things are moving slowly.
They're moving.
I think about You plant a seed in soil.
You can check on it day after day and begin to believe.
That nothing's happening.
That maybe you planted the seed too late.
Maybe you should stop checking and try again next season.
And maybe you do take a break,
You walk away for a second.
You focus on other aspects of your life.
You just give that seed a little space and peace.
But a few days later.
You notice out of the corner of your eye.
Just the tiniest bit of green.
Poking up from the soil.
And isn't it funny that all you need is the tiniest little proof that growth is happening?
In order to have all the confidence in the world.
That that flower is growing.
So much of our life.
And so much of our growth is taking place beneath the surface We may not be able to see that it's happening.
We may want to give up.
We may think that it's going too slow or maybe there isn't any growth at all.
But can you visualize?
The feeling of relief,
Of pride,
Of excitement what you might feel.
Once you experience a bit of that growth above the surface once you see that things are moving.
Would you have the same faith,
That same confidence that you gave the flower?
My friend,
No matter where you are on your journey.
You are exactly where you're meant to be.
The growth is happening,
Whether or not you see it yet.
Take a moment here to reflect.
And how far you've come.
Deep breath in.
And release.
I invite you to take your arms and wrap them around yourself.
Giving yourself love.
Get some comfort.
Telling yourself that you're proud of how far you've come so far.
And that you know you'll continue to move forward.
Slowly release your arms.
Take one final deep breath in.
And exhale.
My friend,
As you begin to move back into your day,
Do so with grace.
With gratitude.
And with all the confidence in the world.
That you are moving in the right direction.
Begin to notice the sounds in the room around you.
Begin to wiggle your fingers and your toes.
And when you're ready.
Slowly open your eyes.
I see you.
I love you.
Until next time.
