Greetings and welcome to today's meditation from the You Are Remarkable series, Power of My Name. There is power in your name, Not just the one you were given, But the one you claim, The one that carries your story, Your spirit, Your strength. Today, We speak to that name. We honor it. We remember who you are. Take a moment. Close your eyes and bring your awareness to your chest. Feel the quiet rhythm of your breath. Now recall your full name or the name that sounds most like home to you. Whisper it softly, Lovingly to yourself. Feel its vibrations in your body. Feel the history, The memory, The miracle behind it. Now imagine adding power to it. A phrase, A title, A truth like I am Michelle, The child of survivors. I am Michelle, Born of courage. I am the one who walks with fire and grace. Put your name in there. I am the child of survivors. I am the one born of courage. I am the one who walks with fire and grace. Let your words rise. Let them carry your ancestry, Your becoming, Your divinity. Say it again and again and again, Each time getting louder, Each time going deeper. Let it expand more, Even if it's just in your heart space. Let it resonate throughout your body. Claim your name. I am. And state your powerful name. Let it go. Let it land. Taking a breath and feel your name root. And as it roots you in the earth, As it roots you deeper within yourself, Let it take root. Feel it. Feel it. Let it wash over you. Let it wash it through you. Let it usher in who you are. Claim your name. Feel the name. And if you get emotional, It's okay. It's okay. Because it's going deep. You don't need to be renamed by the world. You name yourself. And your name, Your truth, Is your power. You are remarkable. Say it with me. I am remarkable. Say it with your powerful name. I am the remarkable one. I am the one who holds this truth. I am. Declare it. Embrace it. Because it's your truth. Feel it. You are remarkable. Please don't forget that. Thank you so much for tuning in. When you're ready, You can open your eyes, Wiggling your fingers and your toes. Carry your powerful name with you today. It is your power. Bye-bye for now.

This helped me so so much. I am changing my name to match my gender identity and was having a little frustration over it not feeling like me yet, not settling INTO me. I’m feeling so powerful in my name right now, and plan to comer back and listen to this as an anchor. Thank you.
