Hello my friend and welcome.
You may be here because you're feeling anxious or worried or perhaps you've been hard on yourself lately and you're looking for some relief,
Some release of that tension and holding.
Or for any other reason that calls for soothing,
For kindness,
For gentleness and to feel peaceful again.
You're in the right place.
We're going to take some precious minutes to receive some gentleness and calm reassurance and some wisdom that brings peace and peace of mind and body.
We all need this sometimes.
Let yourself begin by finding a comfortable position that allows you space to breathe and be exactly as you are and to feel held and supported.
So maybe that's in a cozy chair or on the sofa or in bed or it might be you prefer to be walking and feeling the earth under your feet supporting you and offering you spaciousness.
When you are ready take a big breath in expanding your belly and your chest and then let it pour out of you in a long long sigh.
Beautiful.
Feeling yourself landing in your spot where you're received exactly as you are always.
Where you can just be and breathe and be here for yourself.
Well-chosen words from a wise kind place can nurture us,
Help us feel safe,
Resolve any separation and allow us to feel encouraged again and reassured.
I'm sure you've done that for others in your life with your words and I hope that there are others who've done that for you.
Because just like every other human you deserve kindness and care and compassion.
We're all doing our best and sometimes life is a lot to navigate.
So let's begin now with this soothing self-talk.
Just allow these words to become the main voice you hear,
The main voice in your head as you imagine you're sending waves of kindness to yourself.
I am safe,
I am loved and I am allowed to feel peaceful no matter what is happening.
I am kind to myself,
I am not my perceived mistakes.
I'm doing my best with what I have available and that is always enough.
I let go of any self-expectations that steal my peace.
Feel the massage of your sweet breath.
Feel all your parts,
Your cares and concerns,
Your younger and older parts listening and receiving.
Sensing the territory of your body softening and relaxing as these words enter.
Despite my fears and worries I am worthy of feeling comfortable and at peace.
Despite my big feelings I am allowed to be human,
I am allowed to laugh and be loved and feel loved.
My sensitivity is not a flaw but a gift to cherish and look after.
My feelings aren't here to harm me but to guide me towards my own wisdom,
Care and support.
Feeling the massage of your breath and these soft sweet waves of your breath carrying a healing balm,
Bringing soothing to the inside to every part of you,
Washing stress and old worries away from your body.
I am on a human journey with ups and downs and the downs don't last forever.
I am surrounded by people who care about me even when it's hard to believe or feel that.
There are always things in my presence I can turn to which support me.
I am stronger than I realize even when I don't feel that strong.
Soothing breath in and soothing breath through your body and out.
The harder moments will pass,
All moments do.
I can focus on activities and thoughts that bring me peace,
Lightness and contentment.
I can take things one small step at a time.
I can be sweet to myself and merciful.
May I remember to offer myself this powerful gift always.
And now take a final conscious deep breath in,
Letting in all the softness,
All the kindness,
And as you exhale let yourself settle even more deeply into this loving soothing space.
You've created this for yourself,
You can return to it anytime.
Your words,
This kindness can bring this to you,
Your words can be here for you.
And there's nothing you have to hold right now,
Nothing you have to fix.
You can just be here and move into the next moment exactly as you are.
You are safe,
You are loved and you are allowed to feel peaceful no matter what.
