In the very same moment you decide to loosen your chokehold on life,
It's the very same moment when things begin to flow freely.
Welcome to Coached by Nikki Dyer.
We begin this practice here,
Together,
By closing down your eyes,
And settling into your surroundings,
Wherever you are,
Taking the necessary time for your mind to melt as your body continues to breathe for you,
Without any thought or effort to do so,
Becoming aware of how any thoughts and emotions come and go,
Flowing in and out,
Just like the way the air fills your lungs,
And how the body releases the air once again.
Your breath begins to find a gentle natural rhythm of its own,
Relaxing a little deeper still with each exhale you take.
In the very same moment you decide to loosen your chokehold on life,
It's the very same moment when things begin to flow freely.
There are times where the more we try,
The more confusing and murky it all seems to get,
Perceiving confusion instead of clarity.
It comes from trying to bend the will of the world to your way.
Take a deep breath in,
And a slow exhale out,
Feeling how your body returns to a natural rhythm once more.
In almost the very same moment you stop trying to control the breath,
The body will always breathe for you.
Can you fully trust that you are completely supported by something far greater than your own efforts?
Letting your answers sink in here as you take a centering breath in,
And a slow purposeful breath out,
It is when you lack trust and faith that you close yourself off to countless wonderful opportunities.
Opportunities sitting in the waiting room of life,
For you to call out their number.
Today's practice is a little prayer of sorts,
And it's something I've been using in my own life,
And I thought maybe this time I could say it for the both of us.
I ask to be led and guided to places and spaces that are in my highest good.
For my family and for our future.
Lead me to opportunities and people that will align me most with my soul's purpose,
And the next chapter of my work and the learnings of my life,
Continuing to guide me to help in healing the world,
In what I am supposed to do.
Take a deep breath in,
And release,
As it goes out into all the world around you.
I invite you here to repeat a few things after me,
In your own voice.
Today I choose to trust the direction my life is going.
I know I am being guided by something greater than my own mind.
It's exciting not knowing what happens next.
When I relax and release control,
Everything flows freely.
Things are heading in a great direction for me.
I trust that the next step will always appear at the right time.
I'm wide open.
Take a final deep breath in here,
And exhale as the air releases once more.
And once you feel ready,
Open your eyes and return to the space around you.
