So,
Just taking a deep breath,
Tremendous amount of gratitude for being here.
So happy to be here in this now moment,
Living this adventure that we call life,
And we don't know where the journey leads,
But we know that we're moving and changing and growing,
And with every inhale,
We're just so excited to be here,
And we notice the earth beneath us,
Holding us up and supporting us,
Noticing our powerful roots,
Offering structure,
Stability,
And we notice our hearts,
Just tuning into the heart,
Finding your own vibration.
This is who I am,
Connecting in with the self,
Seeing this bright light at your heart,
And it's your spirit.
Every one of us has a spirit.
Every one of us has an essence,
And just noticing what that light of your spirit looks like.
Is this really dim light,
Is it a flickering candle,
Is it a brightly shining torch expanding throughout your chest?
This light of your spirit,
Are there layers of protection around it?
Is it kept under a glass jar to protect it from the rest of the world,
And in the process,
Not getting the oxygen needed for the flame?
We just reach down and we remove that glass jar.
We notice the oxygen touching the flame,
And the flame grows larger,
And we smile a little bit,
Noticing how good it feels to say hello to your essence,
And we make a choice to fuel our own fire.
We add the fuel,
The fuel of self-awareness,
Lighting up that fire,
The fuel of laughter and amusement,
Making this fire grow.
We're adding to this flame a little bit of opinion,
Because opinion has so much of the self integrated.
We're adding to this flame adventure,
A love of living,
Just saying what is on your mind,
And speaking your truth.
We're adding to this flame a little bit of self-expression,
Just expressing your feelings.
We're adding to this flame your wants and desires,
And a whole lot of gratitude.
We just see this flame getting bigger and bigger,
Filling up your entire chest and your entire body,
Spreading your spirit throughout your body,
Welcoming your spirit to be strong and powerful.
It feels good.
We open our palms,
And from this state of full spiritual connection to ourselves,
We open our palms and notice the vibrations of the world around us,
The tensions of the world,
The requirements and asks of the world,
The people we love who would like a little bit of our time and our heart,
The organizations that we love wanting a bit of our time and our heart,
A whole bunch of shoulds or coulds.
We're just going to bring ourselves right back to our own flame,
Just bringing your mind back to your heart,
Back to your flame.
Instead of putting our focus outside of our bodies,
Out into that chaotic world,
We keep our focus here with our own passion and unconditional love,
With our own spirit,
Because that's where our power lies.
In your open palms,
Just taking your thumb and placing it in the center of your palm and wrapping your fingers around that thumb.
It's a fist with the thumb on the inside of the fingers,
And feeling in your body how this creates a container for your energy.
It plugs the hole,
It seals the container from any depleting,
Any draining energy.
It creates this container for you and your power and your strength,
Your essence,
Your spirit,
Noticing that the world is still around you,
And it still contains other people's needs and wants and desires,
And you can feel your strength internally.
And for once,
You have the choice of how to engage.
Before,
You were pulled in every which way by the external forces,
But now you have the choice of how you want to engage with the world,
Always in alignment with your true nature,
In alignment with your spirit,
In alignment with you.
We set the intention to walk through the world,
Completely tuned into our own light,
Starting with the self.
