Your impact as a helper is magnified when you come from a place of inner balance and peace.
The more you nurture yourself,
The more you give to others.
Welcome back to another pocket of peace reflection.
Before we begin,
I invite you to take a moment to settle in,
Find a comfortable position,
Gently close your eyes and take a deep calming breath in and out.
Allow your breathing to fall into a rhythmic pattern that suits you.
Allow any tension in your body to soften with each exhale.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Bring your awareness to this present moment.
Letting go of any distractions or concerns from the day.
During your reflection time,
I'll invite you to consider some questions to deepen your understanding of your own innate health.
This is your gift,
Your time to pause,
Reflect and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
There's no rush.
There's no need to force anything.
There are no expectations.
Nowhere to be.
Nowhere to go.
Just be here now,
Open to whatever insights may arise.
As you listen,
Let the words resonate within you.
Notice any thoughts,
Feelings or sensations that come up.
And allow them to flow naturally,
Without judgment.
And with a whole load of gentleness.
When you're ready,
We'll begin.
Your impact as a helper is magnified when you come from a place of inner balance and peace.
The more you nurture yourself,
The more you give to others.
Now,
Gently ask your inner guide.
How does your innate state influence the impact on those you help?
In what ways can nurturing your balance and peace enhance your ability to support others?
How does this understanding change the way you view self-care?
As you deepen your reflection,
Consider the following.
What can you do today to cultivate more balance and more peace?
How might this shift in perspective transform your work as a helper?
Take a moment now to bring your awareness back to the room.
Begin to notice the feeling of the surface beneath you.
The sounds around you.
And the gentle rhythm of your breath.
Feel the air on your face.
Start to wriggle your fingers and your toes.
Allow yourself to reconnect with your physical surroundings.
You may want to stretch gently,
As if waking up from a peaceful rest.
As you go through your day,
Reflect on the quotes from the lessons we've had together.
Allow yourself to repeat this course on more than one occasion.
And take a look at the Health of the Helper course again.
Reflecting on these questions and these quotes in a gentle way will allow your mind to come up with answers that are very bespoke for you.
There's no right way or wrong way.
All we're trying to do is find your own inner connection and increase your awareness of what it's telling you.
You already know.
You already have the answers.
You are already amazing.
Thank you for everything that you do and for spending time with me on this journey.
I look forward to hearing how it's all going for you.
Lots of love.
