Welcome to your moment of bliss.
Take a minute to arrive,
Feeling into the center of your center,
That you are a pillar of peace in your own life.
If you'd like,
You can close your eyes and feel the earth beneath you holding you.
And if you are experiencing this as an act of meditation,
Feel your feet and the ground beneath you.
Now let the world outside soften,
Welcoming your breath as it moves in and out.
Every inhale,
Feel yourself opening,
And every exhale,
Feel yourself releasing,
Softening your forehead and your jaw,
Even your hair,
Your shoulders,
Your belly.
Many of us have spent life wondering if we've been making the right choices,
Wondering if you should have turned left instead of right,
If you should have held on instead of letting go,
Or perhaps spoken out or remained silent.
But I want to plant this seed and to remind you that you can never get it wrong.
You can never get it wrong.
Every step you have taken has led you here,
Every decision has shaped you,
Has carved wisdom and magic into your being,
And even in the moment when perhaps you wished you had done things differently,
Life was always holding you,
Guiding you,
And I am simply here to remind you now that you are learning,
You are growing,
You are evolving,
And if you'd like,
You can look down at your hands,
Grounding into your body and rooting into this moment,
This holy moment,
Affirming that you are a human doing your best and that you are committed to continuing to doing your best with a spirit of loving-kindness to yourself and others,
With an open yet discerning heart.
Breathing into that,
Maybe placing a hand over your heart and dropping into that space of knowing that you can never get it wrong.
What if you allow yourself to believe that every choice,
Every misstep,
Every wild leap is simply life unfolding as it must,
That it's been your soul that is leading and guiding you?
What if you surrendered the weight of needing to know and instead allow yourself to exist in the mystery?
You are exactly where you need to be and spirit is moving through you,
Guiding you,
And it is easiest to feel when we are soft and open,
When we are allowing,
And you can imagine your hand closed into a fist and then opening,
And that is the energy.
It's the gentle unfurling into the mystery herself.
Allow the breath to continue to move through you,
Like a river,
A rhythm that has always known its way home,
Home into the sea,
Letting the edges of doubt soften and the tension of control to dissolve like shimmering particles of light.
You do not have to fix anything.
You do not have to force clarity.
Your only job is to trust that this moment,
This life is holding you in ways you cannot yet see.
One step at a time,
The path is made by walking.
So walk and breathe and be gentle with yourself,
Smile,
Drink in the beauty that is your life and know you can never get it wrong.
Give yourself a big hug,
An inner smile,
Knowing that you,
My dear,
Are doing an amazing job.
