Welcome,
Beloveds.
Here we gather to come home to ourselves,
Not the versions we perform,
Not the roles we carry,
But the quiet,
Wise self that lives beneath it all.
The heart of tonight's journey is built on three invitations.
Lead from love.
Rebuild from truth.
Express from soul.
These are not tasks to tick off.
They are inner postures,
Ways of being.
And here,
We won't strive to understand them with the mind.
We'll soften into them with the body.
We'll let the breath carry us.
We'll let the silence teach us.
So,
Allow this time to be sacred.
Just for you.
Nothing to do.
Nowhere to be.
Just this breath.
This moment.
This body.
Make sure you've found a position that feels restful yet awake.
Allow your spine to be supported.
Let the eyes gently close.
Invite a deepening into stillness.
Start to bring awareness to your breath.
Without needing to change it.
Just notice it.
Feel the coolness as it enters the nose.
The warmth as it leaves the body.
Allow yourself to arrive fully.
Let's deepen into the body with a breath pattern.
Inhaling for 4.
Holding for 4.
And exhaling for 6.
So when you're ready,
Inhale for 1,

Hold 2,

Exhale 2,

Continue for a few rounds.
Gently and easily.
Breathe in deeply.
Let the exhale lengthen.
Let it soften you.
Let your breath return to its natural rhythm now.
And gently begin your descent inward.
We begin at the crown of the head.
Imagine a soft,
Warm light resting here.
Like sunlight behind closed eyes.
Let this light begin to melt through your scalp,
Your temples,
Behind the eyes.
The space between the eyebrows softens.
The forehead smooths.
Let your jaw loosen.
Tongue falls from the roof of your mouth.
Throat open and spacious.
Bring this warmth down into your neck.
And clench the back of the neck.
Let your shoulders be heavy.
Soften the space beneath the shoulder blades.
Feel the warmth trickling into the upper arms.
Shoulders.
Elbows.
Forearms.
Wrists.
Hands.
And all the way into each fingertip.
Now bring awareness to your chest.
Feel the breath moving here.
The rise and the fall.
Feel your ribs expand and contract like waves.
Let the heart space soften.
Not to collapse,
But to open.
You don't have to hold it all right now.
Soften the diaphragm.
Let the belly rise and fall without control.
Soften the solar plexus.
The place of will and fire.
Let the fire be gentle here.
Let it flicker,
Not burn.
Bring awareness to the low belly.
Pelvis.
Hips.
Shoulders.
Soften the seat of your being.
Let go of tension in the glutes.
The inner thighs.
Imagine this area like soil.
Rich,
Dark and holding you.
Now into the thighs.
The knees.
Backs of the knees.
Down into the calves.
The shins.
Ankles.
And the feet.
Soften the tops of the feet.
The soles.
Each toe.
Feel the entire body from crown to root.
Softened.
Safe.
Supported.
Rest here in full presence.
Let the breath move like a wave through this relaxed body.
With each inhale,
Spaciousness.
With each exhale,
Surrender.
You are fully here.
Fully held.
Let your awareness drop into the center of your chest.
The heart.
The place where love leads.
Where truth lives.
Where the soul whispers.
As you rest in this state of deep presence,
I leave you with a gentle inquiry to carry into silence.
Where in my life am I being invited to lead with more love?
To rebuild something from truth?
And to express more of my soul?
Don't search for answers.
Just let the questions move through you.
Feel them.
Breathe with them.
Let them land in their own time.
Let stillness be the teacher.
Let the breath be the guide.
Let your body be the oracle.
Begin to return gently.
Let your breath deepen.
Wiggle fingers and toes.
Roll the shoulders.
Reconnect to the room.
Place one hand on the heart.
One on the belly.
Take a moment to acknowledge your willingness to meet yourself here.
If there is one word,
One image,
One feeling that stayed with you,
Hold it like a seed.
You don't have to do anything with it now.
Just carry it with tenderness.
When you lead with love,
You soften what is hard.
When you rebuild from truth,
You honor what is real.
And when you express from soul,
You light the way not only for yourself,
But for everyone watching you remember who you are.
When you are ready,
Gently open your eyes and take your time.
Thank you for sharing your presence here with me.
