Embracing The Unknown

Our brilliant writer, pioneer, and ancestor Octavia Butler were right when she wrote, "The only lasting truth is Change. God is changing." Life is a series of cycles. An entangled mesh of beginnings and endings. One moment we have it all figured out, and the next our beloved rug is pulled right from under our feet. And we're back to square one. Embracing the Unknown is a blend of sound healing and guided meditation, where you're invited to trust where you're at at the moment. The change will come.

Transcript

Join me in the sanctuary where a space has been prepared just for you.

Settling your bones and connecting to your breath,

Softening your heart and feeling the gentle rise and fall of your chest.

Drifting away from the outside world and into my voice,

Deepening into the sweetness of this melody.

Here as you soften and settle,

I'll take you on a journey through sound,

Where you'll be invited to ease your worries and fears of the unknown.

While the unknown is a challenging place to be,

It also brings a spark,

A seed of creativity.

It is a part of change and change is the nature of life.

We are always growing and shifting,

Beginning and ending,

Starting and finishing cycles.

For even the air that we breathe is in constant motion,

And it is in these spaces of the unknown or uncertainty that we find ourselves.

This is the space where true wisdom and curiosity are able to emerge,

Where we discover our natural instinct to innovate.

Creating or gaining a skill,

Discovering a new way of being that maybe hadn't existed previously.

So in this meditation,

Allow the sounds and the instruments to cleanse yourself of the worries you carry from what you cannot control and ground into what you can.

Ground into your truth,

Steady your breath,

Rest your body.

For these you can always come home to and trust that in this cycle,

Clarity will soon come.

Welcome back.

Begin bringing your awareness to the sound of my voice and shifting that awareness now into your breath and your body.

Softly bringing movement to your fingers and toes and gently waking them up from their slumber.

Taking your time,

All the time you need as you come back.

Gentle movements and when you're ready,

You may slowly open your eyes.

Just look around,

Taking note of the sights that surround you.

Feeling the energy of being refreshed and cleansed,

The newness that is present here.

Remembering that any time you feel worried about the unknown,

You always have the choice to return here.

You always have the choice to return to your breath.

You always have the choice to return to your body.

And you always have the choice to see this moment as an opportunity for a new path.

Your wisdom and clarity are sure to meet you.

My name is Brittany Pollard and it's been my honor journeying with you.
