Blessings,
This is Brenda Curie.
Allow this time to be a sanctuary for you,
Where you can soften,
Heal,
And reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
A contemplative prayer for trust in uncertain times.
In this quiet moment,
I arrive.
Softening my face and my jaw.
My shoulders release.
My breath invites me back into my body.
My belly fills with air and my feet sense the ground beneath me.
As I breathe,
I settle.
I feel the gentle loosening of tension,
A safe unraveling.
As I feel the strength of the earth bound within me.
And something greater moving through me.
I feel my heart beating,
This sacred rhythm that connects me to a greater pulse that carries us all.
I rest in this timing that I no longer need to control.
And I know that I am not alone.
I am held.
My breath rises and falls when I allow it to float freely,
Without force,
Without effort.
I am here.
Trust is not something I push towards.
I lean into it and it meets me as I surrender to the gentle flow of life.
I notice the space in my ribcage,
An expansion of love more than I could possibly imagine that holds the ethers and me with such care.
When the weight of the world feels heavy and a fear in my bones wants me to flee,
I pause.
I stay.
I squeeze my fists,
Then release,
Letting go of what I have been gripping.
Softening into this present moment.
Feeling the settling within me,
Like gentle rain returning to herself.
In this sacred pause,
I remember my center.
I remember my true voice.
I do not need to harden to possess courage.
I do not need to react to feel alive.
I can stay rooted like the trees,
Even when the world frantically spins around me.
I hold this quiet trust with you.
I hold it for myself and for all of us.
And I hold silence in the unfolding of it all.
And so it is.
