Welcome,
However you're feeling right now,
This is exactly what this space is for to welcome you exactly as you are and give you a chance to just flop if you want to and to replenish your energies by taking this break and hopefully to renew your optimism So there's no need to be different from how you are right now and just allow yourself to settle in and as you just let yourself arrive and be here feel the weight of your body releasing as it's received by the support underneath you might be a bed,
Your chair,
The floor take a big breath in and as you exhale drop all the weight of your bones to the earth let yourself be held you don't have to hold at all,
Not here you don't have to hold on to anything at all right now take another big breath in let yourself completely drop your weight to the earth here there's nothing to do,
There's no masks to wear,
There's no role to play there's nothing to mend or fix or solve this space is a quiet permission to simply be can you receive that?
You're safe to receive that now maybe you can feel your jaw releasing,
The features on your face melting their expression anything they've been holding in their expression your shoulders releasing any weight your chest softening and your belly being easeful now just allowing your breath to move inside of you without feeling you have to manage it or control it or watch it just that feeling of your own breath moving in its own rhythm inside your being maybe there's a warmth there feeling the way breath enters like a wave rising through your chest,
Your ribs,
Your belly and then how it falls away again without effort there's no need to make it better or different it already knows what to do,
Your body is being breathed let yourself be breathed see if you can enjoy the hum of your breath in your bones how soft your inhale is and how sweet it is to let go of that exhalation let your breath be like a lullaby,
Let it rock the tired parts of you,
Soothe the weary aches reaching into and softening even the places that haven't had a break in a long time and feel those spaces being enriched and nourished and soothed as you feel your breath this is your time to rest for a while and it's your place to be replenished whatever's going on you might begin to feel underneath the layers,
Underneath the weariness,
The tiredness something gentle coming through something steady,
Kind,
A quiet presence still here even when you felt worn thin there's always been something inside you that holds fast to life,
To hope,
To enthusiasm to welcoming the new let your breath remind you of that feel your body remembering that feel yourself being carried there back to your own unshakable ground and from that place let these words rise up in you like a whisper I am allowed to rest I am allowed to take a break it is safe for me to let go it is safe for me to attend to my own needs hope lives in me still I am returning to the good I am returning to the good breathe with these words and feel them feel the truth that resonates in them vibrating in your body nourishing you,
Soothing you,
Supporting your whole being remembering you already know this there's nothing more to figure out right now just in this moment,
Just in this ease there is this quiet reunion with your knowing,
Soothing self maybe you can release even more from your body letting yourself drop even closer to the center of the earth underneath you maybe now your face can be smooth,
Soft and light maybe your body can be at ease your muscles,
Your bones and your skin be light,
Soft,
At ease you are safe here,
You're not alone,
You are so so welcome just as you are,
Especially as you are you can stay here for as long as you need just letting your breath move through your body like a gentle tide soothing the achy weary parts,
Clearing out the old debris that may have accumulated and letting rest and refreshment find you letting life begin to fill you again quietly from the inside out and when you are ready to rise do so not from pressure but from being really ready,
From feeling you've had a real break from having been soothed and from having remembered something true and good and as you move forward from this space let your spirit be nourished by this remembering and let it carry you allow yourself to feel the relief and the release and the knowing that you can come back to this space and rest anytime and thank yourself for this transforming healthful practice you've given yourself a great gift thank yourself for remembering be kind and gentle with yourself as you move back into your day or night and until next time,
Bye for now you
