As you settle,
Coming fully present into this moment,
Allow yourself to stretch if that feels good.
Breathing deeply,
Letting your presence root here and now.
Everything exists except this moment.
And can you acknowledge that right here,
Right now,
You are safe?
You are safe.
And so open,
Allow the energy of courage to come sit with you,
Gather around you.
Let courage straighten your spine and lift your chin.
Feel your hips drop and become heavy.
Hold to the earth as if you have the tail of a dragon.
This is the energy of courage.
Let it wash over you,
Move through you.
You are safe.
You are courageous.
And intuitively you know that everything that happens today,
Anything that challenges you,
Demands more of you,
Requires you to step up and be stronger,
Will change you.
Everything that challenges you,
Pulls you forward,
Pulls you more fully into life,
And guides you into the truth of who you are meant to be in the world.
This is a call to courage.
Let the energy of courage wash over you,
Feel your spine straighten,
Lift your chin,
Drop your shoulders.
Feel yourself grounded,
Rooted,
And strong.
This is the energy of courage.
There are moments in life that demand our presence,
Not gently,
Not with a whisper or a loving invitation,
But with a battle cry,
A reverberation that shatters what was and demands that we rise,
Plant our feet,
And see.
There are moments in life that demand that we see what is and rise to the challenge of seeing even deeper.
Seeing beyond,
Seeing what can be.
There are moments in life that demand that we see with eyes of hope and possibility,
That require our courage.
There are moments in life that demand we commit.
This is a call to courage.
And you have been called.
Are you in?
Will you choose to be courageous enough to see,
Truly see?
Will you stand up,
Come forward,
Add your voice?
Will you offer the best of you,
Give the best of you,
And help change the world?
You are being called.
We are being called.
Will you stand,
Come forward,
Add your voice?
Now is the time for courage.
And you are not alone.
I am with you.
So many of us are with you.
We are all in.
We are present together.
This is a call to courage.
Straighten your spine.
Lift your chin.
Let your hips be like the tail of a dragon,
Heavy with power and presence.
And then rise.
Let your courage loose in the world and rise.
Rise.
