In a world that is always asking for more,
More effort,
More clarity,
More healing,
More doing,
More becoming.
Together,
Now,
We stop.
Together,
We stop reaching forward.
And together,
We stop looking backwards.
Together,
We stop asking who we ought to be now.
This is not a time of transformation.
This is allowing ourselves just to be.
Letting that be enough.
And wherever you are right now,
Wherever you're listening to these words,
However you have arrived,
Nothing needs to change.
Nothing needs to be different.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
Allow your body to find the most comfortable position right now that feels supportive.
Not perfect,
Just kind.
A little moment of gratitude of what is beneath your body now and supporting you,
Holding your weight without any effort.
Acknowledge that you are being held and that you don't have to hold yourself up now.
You can surrender and go a little bit heavier.
I'm not asking you to change your breath.
Just breathe naturally.
Let it move softly.
A quiet in-breath,
Soft out-breath.
No counting,
No controlling,
No performing.
Your mind may still be busy and thoughts will still arrive.
Plans,
Reflections,
Worries.
And that's okay.
It's part of the journey and the practice.
We're not here to silence the mind.
We are just here to be okay with whatever arises.
We're just not obeying all of those thoughts right now.
With every exhale,
Really feel yourself stepping out of the energy of doing and urgency.
Not actively pushing it away,
Just loosening the grip.
And everything slows down a little bit more.
The inner pressure that you may feel starts to ease.
And this is enough right now.
Your breath is your anchor.
Let your awareness gently land on your body.
Feel your shoulders and if they are lifted,
Allow them to soften a little.
As if you're just putting down something heavy,
Just letting those shoulders drop down.
Feel your jaw.
Let the teeth part from each other.
Feel your belly.
Is it holding?
Is it squeezing?
Just for now,
Could it be softer?
You don't need to be productive with your body now.
If it feels comfortable to you,
You could invite the breath to go a little deeper.
Slow and steady through the nose.
And exhaling through the mouth like a soft,
Relaxed breath.
Sigh.
With each breath,
Inhaling I am.
Exhaling enough.
This energy is just for now.
Not forever.
Not for everything.
Just for now.
Enough effort.
Enough thinking.
Enough trying to figure it all out.
Is there a part of you in this moment that feels like it's falling behind?
Like it feels as if it should be further along by now?
You don't need to push that feeling away.
Just reminding it that there's no hurry.
Just right now,
There's no need to prove anything.
Letting that feeling know that you will get there when it's time.
Nothing needs to happen.
In this moment,
You are already doing enough.
Imagine now that the future loosens its pull on you.
Just for this moment.
No planning.
No fixing.
No preparing.
You are simply here.
And here is good.
Feel the steadiness of this moment.
And that beautiful presence of now.
And in this moment,
Your breath,
Your body is enough.
Allow these words to wash over you.
Take the medicine that you need.
I do not need to do more to be worthy of rest.
I release the pressure of having it all figured out.
I trust the slow unfolding of my life.
This moment right here and right now is enough.
How does it feel to not be striving in this moment?
To not be improving.
To not be fixing.
Let this sense of enough settle into your cells.
A gentle baseline for you to always return to.
And yes,
Life will ask things of you again.
But you don't need to carry them all at once.
Enough for now.
Carry the beauty and the simplicity of this with you.
Not as something to hold on tightly,
But as something to softly come back to.
Enough for now.
Thank yourself for pausing.
For choosing presence.
And for allowing this moment to be enough.
Enough for now.
Namaste,
Beautiful souls.
Namaste.
