Dr.
Asia Murphy,
Ecologist,
Once said.
That human presence and activity can so heavily alter the habits of apex predators.
That it reshapes entire ecosystems.
Down to changing how rivers flow.
And even how smaller plants grow.
As a human,
We often feel small.
Insignificant.
Humbled by everything that is changing so quickly all around us.
But you are at the core of everything.
And what the world needs is kind,
Loving humans.
Just like you.
One single interaction.
Can change the world.
Shifting energy.
Sparking mass movement.
You are sewn into nature's tapestry.
You are connected to everything.
This.
Is the power of you.
Allow me to remind you of your worth.
When you feel lost or alone.
Like your voice holds no value.
Find your power again.
Close your eyes.
Get comfortable.
And let's start with a deep breath in.
And out.
Let's do that again.
N.
And out.
Now focus on your face.
Your jaw.
Are you crunching it?
Can you let it go?
Let's take another deep breath in.
And out moving down to your shoulders.
Are you tight in any areas?
Deep breath in.
And out.
Relaxing down into the arms.
Hands.
Uncurling your fingers.
Letting the tension in your back melt away.
Relaxing your stomach.
Moving focus into your hips now.
Can you allow them to feel heavy?
Allowing even the tiniest amount of tightness to release in your legs.
Your knees.
Your lower legs.
Down into your ankles.
And finally,
Your feet.
Your toes.
Let's take one last deep breath in… and out.
Appreciating this time to pause.
I'd like you to imagine.
That you are holding a box.
In your hands.
Wrapped with a bow.
It's a gift.
Just for you.
Currently unopened.
Beautifully presented.
Really imagine the weight of the box you are holding.
What color is it?
What shape is it?
And feel that sense of excitement to open it.
To find out what's inside.
As you slowly begin to untie the bow.
Allow yourself to smile.
Something truly magical.
Is waiting for you inside.
As you lift the lid off the box.
You pull out a photo.
It is a photo of a person.
Laughing.
Completely enveloped in their joy.
Spreading light and power.
Beautiful.
Breathtaking.
It's the type of person.
You would love to be.
Take a closer look at the photo now.
And realize.
That the person in the photo.
Is you.
See yourself now.
As others see you.
You are a gift.
For yourself.
To unwrap.
Every day.
You wake up with the power of the universe inside you.
Will you harness it today?
And use it for good.
Will you spread joy?
Be kind.
And love yourself.
Notice the person who needs to be held.
Carry the bag of the wise old man who is still struggling up the steep steps of life.
Open the door for the woman who thinks that she's hidden to the world.
Breathe in the air around you.
So perfectly balanced.
And push it out through your vocal cords,
Using your immense voice for change.
Let this be your legacy.
Let the world feel.
The power of you.
You How do you feel?
Keeping that powerful feeling inside of you now.
Let's bring our attention back to the space where you sit or lie.
Hear the distant sounds of life carrying on.
And feel a sense of excitement.
To join it.
As you open your eyes.
Here's what you need to hear today.
Every wave of change.
Begins.
As a tiny ripple.
