In this practice we are going to meet and release subconscious fear using our intuition.
This practice is also referred to as the micro method.
If you haven't already done so,
Find yourself a space where you won't be disturbed and you can sit comfortably with your spine straight and supported.
If you haven't already done so,
Please close your eyes.
Once your eyes are closed and you are comfortable,
Take a deep breath in,
Breathe in through your nose,
Feel your chest and belly,
And on the exhale let that breath go with an audible sigh.
Breathing in again when you are ready,
Drawing that breath in through your nose,
And exhaling with a sigh.
And once more,
Breathing in through your nose,
Feeling your chest and belly.
And let that breath go out through the mouth,
Letting go of all the tension in your body.
And let your breath find its own rhythm,
Comfortable and natural.
Breathing in easily and breathing out effortlessly.
Breathing on your breath,
Allowing it to anchor you into this moment,
So that you are present for this practice.
Take a moment now to bring to mind something that is causing you stress,
Anxiety,
Frustration,
Overwhelm,
Procrastination,
Anything that does not feel light and blissful.
Allow it to come to mind now.
And once you have it,
I want you to rate it in terms of intensity on a scale of 1 to 10,
With 10 being the most intense.
And once you have your score,
Simply let that number go.
Take a deep breath in here,
Fill your chest and belly,
And let that breath go with a sigh.
And gently let your hand come up to rest gently at the centre of your chest.
A light touch.
Taking a few breaths here.
In a moment we are going to ask a question.
You may choose to ask this question silently or out loud.
And when you do,
It is important to pay attention to whatever comes to you first,
However it may land.
Allow your intuition to guide you.
Perhaps through a visual,
You may hear some words,
You may have a feeling or perhaps a knowing.
Allow the answer to the question to simply arrive.
This question is in regards to that stress,
That frustration,
That overwhelm,
Whatever you identified a few moments ago.
And the question we are asking today is,
What is the dominant fear in this situation?
And allow the answer to come to you.
Once you have your answer,
Taking a moment to ask another question.
And that is,
Is there anything deeper than that?
Spending your time here to allow any information to come to you in whatever way it will.
Now take a deep breath.
Let it go with a sigh.
We are going to bring to mind now something for which we are deeply,
Deeply grateful.
Keeping it nice and simple.
Perhaps it's time spent with a loved one,
A beautiful meal or the warm sun on your skin.
Whatever it is,
Place your focus and attention here.
Allow yourself to feel gratitude as you focus.
Focusing on that which you are grateful for.
Begin to hand yourself over to that feeling state of gratitude.
As you breathe in and as you breathe out.
Remaining focused and allowing yourself to feel that gratitude growing inside of you.
Moving through every cell.
Using that feeling state of gratitude to work its way through every fibre of your being.
This feeling of gratitude expands.
With every breath in and every breath out.
Allowing it to move through you as you focus upon that which you are deeply grateful for.
We are going to spend a few minutes together in silence here.
So that we may focus our attention and energy on cultivating a feeling state of gratitude that is unshakable.
And I will call us back when our silence is complete.
Staying focused.
Staying focused.
Staying focused.
Staying focused.
Staying focused.
Bring your mind back if it wanders.
Take a deep breath in here.
Feel your chest and belly and let that breath go with a sigh.
Taking a moment here to check back in on that challenge that you began with.
Frustration,
Overwhelm,
Anxiety,
Whatever it was for you.
Take a moment here to rate it again out of ten.
With ten being the most intense.
Trust whatever number comes to you first.
And it is my great hope that that number has come down for you.
Ideally,
That number is a two or below.
If your score is a three or above,
I encourage you to take some time here to move back into that space of gratitude.
And spend a few more minutes in that space,
Cultivating that feeling state of gratitude.
You are welcome to pause this recording if you need to go back.
Otherwise,
It is time for us to bring this practice to a close.
Take another deep breath in.
Fill your lungs and let go a nice big audible sigh on the exhale.
Letting go,
Letting go.
Bring some gentle movement back into your body.
Stretch as you need to.
And when you are ready,
And not a moment sooner,
Gently blink open your eyes.
