The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit.
Welcome to Coached by Nikki Dyer.
So we begin here,
By gently closing your eyes if they aren't already.
As your mind begins to focus on the quiet music in the background,
Interrupting the gentle natural rhythm of your own breath.
As we take three purposeful breaths,
Breathing deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Inhaling as you feel the creation of a little more room within.
Feeling the space your body just created for you on the exhale.
Breathing in deeply.
And exhale as you find your way to centered.
Letting your breath once again return to a gentle natural rhythm of its own.
Feel the active rhythm of your heart beating.
Taking another deep inhale through the nose.
Feeling the way the belly expands as you do so.
And release the breath.
Spiritual growth does not happen while you are meditating.
It happens in the midst of stress,
Conflict,
And the chaos of life.
When your body and mind go to reach for those easy to grab patterns of fear,
Doubt,
Until the day when you suddenly realize that you have a choice to do it differently this time.
The choice is yours.
It always has been.
Balance is a choice.
It means making purposeful moves forward with your actions and intentions,
While also trusting that the other side,
That fate,
Is also doing its part.
This of course requires an enormous amount of trust.
Trust in everything you cannot see.
Complete trust in the unknown.
The alternative to not trusting fate is to continue to burn at both ends.
Birth and death.
Sickness and health.
Cause and reaction.
Give and take.
Every single thing surrounding us requires a balance.
Each one of our actions release energy out into the world,
And it is fate that in turn creates a balance.
We must learn to find excitement in the unknown.
To embrace not knowing how our energies will return to us,
But only to trust that they will return to us in the right moment in time.
So I invite you here to repeat a few memorable mantras after me.
I trust that my efforts and energy will return to me at the right time.
I trust my fate.
I find excitement in the unknown and embrace it with love.
I trust myself,
Therefore I trust my fate.
Take a deep breath in here,
And feel the way your body releases inside as you breathe out.
Even nature requires time to create balance.
The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit.
I welcome you here to bring some gentle movement back into your body.
As your mind begins to re-center.
And when you feel ready,
Open your eyes.
