Begin by finding a comfortable position,

Either sitting with your spine straight,

Shoulder soft,

Or perhaps lying down.

Take a moment,

Make any adjustments to your posture,

Making sure that you're as comfortable as you can be,

And then gently closing your eyes,

Knowing that right now,

At this moment,

There's nowhere else you need to be and nothing else for you to be doing.

Take a slow and easy breath in through your nose,

And then gently exhale through your mouth,

Releasing all the air from the lungs.

Let's do that again,

Taking in breath through the nose,

And then gently releasing fully through the mouth.

One last time,

Inhale through the nose,

And then fully releasing from the mouth.

Now releasing control of the breath and allowing the breath to flow naturally,

Allowing your body to breathe at its natural pace,

Its natural rhythm.

Softening the muscles of the face,

Softening the tongue and the jaw,

Softening the shoulders,

The neck,

And the muscles of the back,

Softening the arms,

Torso,

Hips,

Buttocks,

And legs,

Extending through the feet and the toes,

Breathing through the whole body,

Inviting ease.

And now stating an affirmation,

An intention,

I am strong and confident in my choices.

I move through my day with confidence,

Clarity,

And ease.

I am strong and confident in my choices.

I move through my day with confidence,

Clarity,

And ease.

I am strong and confident in my choices.

I move through my day with confidence,

Clarity,

And ease.

Now gently bringing your attention to your upper abdomen,

Gently resting your hands here,

Visualizing a bright light coming up through the earth,

Connecting to the base of your spine.

As each breath in,

The light travels up the base of the spine and pauses,

Swirling in the upper abdomen in the space between the navel and the bottom of the rib cage.

Light swirls here for a moment,

And then on the exhale,

It continues to travel up the spine and out through the crown of the head.

Continuing to breathe in this way,

Breathing in light up through the base of the spine into the solar plexus,

And exhaling light up the spine and out the crown of the head.

Notice that as this light pools in the solar plexus,

It begins to radiate with a vibrant yellow color.

Pulsing and radiating,

Swirling and glowing,

A vibrant yellow light pulsing and radiating with each breath in and each breath out.

With each breath in,

This yellow light becomes more vibrant,

More radiant.

It swirls and glows,

Pulsing with each movement of the breath up from the base of the spine,

Swirling in the solar plexus and upward,

Releasing through the crown of the head.

As you continue to breathe,

This light grows brighter and expands outward throughout your body,

Filling each cell in your body with vibrant radiating yellow light.

37 trillion cells filled with vibrant,

Radiant yellow light.

You notice your spine feels a little longer,

Your shoulders are soft and open,

Your mouth is turned slightly upwards into a soft,

Almost playful smile.

You feel vibrant,

Radiant,

Confident and clear.

37 trillion cells in your body filled with vibrant,

Radiant light.

Feeling the expansiveness of the growing confidence within you,

Knowing that it is here for you,

Always within you and you can access this feeling at any time.

This light is part of you.

It lives within each cell of your body.

It lives within each movement of your breath.

You feel vibrant,

Radiant,

Confident and clear.

You repeat your intention three times now.

I am strong and confident in my choices.

I move through my day with confidence,

Clarity and ease.

I am strong and confident in my choices.

I move through my day with confidence,

Clarity and ease.

I am strong and confident in my choices.

I move through my day with confidence,

Clarity and ease.

Now gently inviting movement into your fingers and toes.

Stretching the arms long overhead and feeling the length in your spine.

Noticing the presence of the soft smile still on your lips as you begin to become aware of the sounds around you.

Becoming aware of your body and the points of contact with your body and the support beneath you.

Taking one last big breath in and out,

Exhaling through the mouth.

Feeling the confidence growing within you as you gently open your eyes.

Sharing this energy and renewed confidence with you as you return to your day.
