How are you doing today?
Now stop.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
And really focus on that question again.
How are you?
If it has been a while since you allowed yourself to feel.
Then know that this is quite normal.
A lot of us bury rather than release.
But maybe you can stop to heal a little bit now.
Just for a short while.
Come and sit with me and let me be a friend.
Close your eyes.
And let me wrap you up in my voice.
Bury your head in my words.
Allow me to help you to hear your own heart.
Breathe with me now.
In.
And out.
Again,
Just breathe in.
In and out.
Knowing that you are safe Again,
Breathing in… and out.
Trusting that you need this,
And allowing me to support.
Breathing in.
In and out.
I'd like you to allow your body to speak to you now considering where in your body you are holding the weight of the world today.
Can you unfurrow your brow?
Unclench your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Free your fingers.
Allow your stomach to be loose and your breath to flow deeply.
Let your legs and your arms hang heavy.
There is nothing that you need to do.
Other than to give your body the peace.
It desires.
So wherever you've been storing tension,
Tell your body it's okay to let it go now.
Send the message through breath and calm.
That it's okay.
To let it go.
Take another deep breath in.
And out.
Enjoying this moment.
Just for you.
The All Faith Challenge.
Hardship.
I'd like you to imagine now.
That you and I.
Are sitting in a cosy cafe.
We have the quietest corner reserved.
Staff for clearing tables.
And bells can be heard ringing from a nearby church.
There's a wedding,
Perhaps.
We're here because you need a friend.
Why don't you unburden something onto me now?
I'm here to listen.
I can see you're holding on to something.
What's been going on lately.
How has that been making you feel?
Thank you for sharing.
I'm sorry that you've been feeling this way.
Hopefully,
Sharing with me will help you feel a little lighter.
They do say.
A problem shared is a problem halved.
I'll carry that 50% from now on.
And here's the thing.
The fact that you are here with me today.
Tells me everything I already need to know about your resilience.
I see you so clearly.
Can you see yourself?
You are so beautiful.
In your vulnerability.
My friend.
Even in your darkest moments.
You are seeking light.
You never give up.
You are constantly changing for the better.
And you don't even realize how special you are.
Did you know that you are kind?
Do you know that you are loved?
You keep doing your best.
Even when your best is less than you would like it to be.
You try.
So know this.
I see all the strength in you.
You're the type of person that gives me hope.
A person who finds beauty in the sky.
A peace seeker.
Which makes you the best kind of human.
So know that for you.
Every hardship will pass.
You will heal,
Sail onwards into new lands.
Because you deserve it all.
You will call it all in.
Success.
Happiness,
Health and love.
There is nobody more deserving than you.
Of a wonderful life.
You are divine.
Never forget.
What you're made of.
Taking a deep breath in.
And out now.
Bringing your hand to your heart and feeling it beating under your palm.
As you slowly start to focus again on the room that you are in.
Thank you for joining me in this practice.
Thank you for being open.
Here's what you need to hear today as you open your eyes.
You spread light and add value to the world every second of the day just by being you.
See you soon.
