Pebble Inn.
And when you're ready,
You can close your eyes or simply lower your gaze.
And just putting your hands wherever is comfortable.
And take a deep,
Slow breath in through your nose.
And a slow,
Long breath out your mouth.
Again,
Deep breath in.
And long exhale out.
One more deep breath.
And as you exhale,
Relax 10 times deeper.
Now notice the support underneath you.
Feel the chair or whatever it is that you're sitting on holding you.
Feel the ground beneath your feet.
And allow yourself to be fully held.
Really feel what that feels like.
Be supported.
And you're not here to force anything.
Are here to release.
You're ready to let go.
Take a deep breath in.
And on your exhale,
Relax your jaw.
That's a near throat.
Drop your shoulders.
Off in your belly.
Now bring to mind something you're ready to release.
Something that has been draining you.
Pulling you back.
Keeping you small.
Keeping you stuck.
Keeping you in doubt,
Fear.
Keeping you racing,
Chasing.
Could be a pattern.
A bully.
A habit.
Of pressure.
A relationship dynamic.
A role that you've been playing.
A version of you that you've outgrown.
Bring it to mind.
Just naming it.
Repeating,
I'm ready to release.
And just notice as you say that in your mind.
Claiming it,
Naming it.
Where do you feel it?
Where do you feel it in your body?
Is it in your throat?
Your chest.
Your belly.
Just noticing.
Whatever you notice.
There's no right answer.
Now imagine that this thing that you're releasing has a cord.
Connected to you.
Because at some point,
It served a purpose.
And let the court appear in whatever way your mind creates it.
Maybe it's a thread.
A thick rope.
Wire.
A ribbon,
A tether,
Just notice how your unconscious mind constructs this org.
And notice where it connects to your body.
Live in your chest.
Your throat.
Your stomach.
Back your hands,
Just noticing without judgment.
Take a deep,
Slow breath and relax.
And as you exhale,
Repeating silently,
I see you.
Another deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
I acknowledge the role you played.
And we hold on because.
Part of us feels the need to protect ourselves.
This thing started.
To help you survive along the way.
Achieve.
Feel safe.
So meet this with compassion.
Acceptance.
Take a breath in.
And as you exhale,
Silently say,
Thank you.
Thank you for how you tried to help me.
Thank you for how you try to protect us.
Now take a moment.
Ask yourself,
What did this chord give me?
How was it trying to serve me?
What was it trying to protect me from?
What was it?
Helping me avoid.
But feeling.
Was it not wanting me to feel?
How did it help me feel?
A sense of certainty.
Approval.
Control.
Safety.
Noticing what arises.
But what has it cost me?
What has it taken from you?
Because it blocked me from receiving.
How has it held me back from.
.
.
Becoming.
Feeling.
Viewing.
Noticing what arises.
Now tune in to the part of you that is ready to release this.
Ready to let it go.
I want you to imagine that you have a choice.
In front of you.
You can keep carrying it.
Into the next year.
Or you can let it go.
Take a breath.
And as you exhale,
Repeat after me.
I release.
I'm not at all.
You want to add tapping,
Top of the head.
I release.
And let it go.
In between the eyes.
I really use.
And let it go.
Outer eyes,
Temples.
I release.
And let it go.
Under the eyes.
I release.
And let it go.
Just relax.
I release.
And let it go.
Again,
Top of the head,
I release.
And let it go,
Letting your breath slow down and soften.
In between the eyes,
I release.
And let it go.
Outer eyes,
I release.
And let it go.
Under the eyes,
I release.
And let it go and chest a release.
And let it go.
And relax your hands.
And now imagine.
Your future self.
Love you.
Coming to sit next to you or in front of you.
The version of you that is calm.
Confidence.
Powerful.
A version of you who follows through.
Who honors your word.
A version of you that always has your back.
Notice.
Oh,
They are big.
Notice how they feel in their body.
How they breathe.
How they hold their shoulders,
How they stand.
And how they are looking at you with so much love.
They say you don't need this anymore.
It's time to cut the cord.
In a moment,
Then a countdown from three to one.
And on one,
You'll imagine the cord disconnecting cleanly,
Safely.
And however you want to do this,
Maybe you have a giant pair of scissors.
Maybe you have a flame.
Maybe you use something else.
And let your imagination,
Let your unconscious mind create symbolic gesture for releasing,
For cutting this cord.
However it wants to do that.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale.
Three,
Feeling your body supported.
To feeling that future self.
You're back.
One really soon.
Imagine the cord disconnecting now.
Notice what's happening in your body.
Notice what you feel,
Maybe there's relief.
Maybe there's three.
Maybe there's lightness,
Spaciousness,
Maybe nothing,
And that's okay.
All of it is perfect.
Now imagine the place where the cord was connected to you.
And imagine that place being sealed with warmth.
With light.
Bring to mind what you're choosing instead.
Nature abhors a vacuum.
Ask yourself,
What am I choosing instead?
Maybe it's ease.
Maybe it's boundaries.
Maybe it's self-trust.
Consistency,
Joy.
Peace.
Pleasure.
Courage.
Worthiness.
Choose it now.
And imagine that coming into your body.
Entering your body like a slow,
Warm wave,
Filling that space where the cord used to be.
Filling your whole body.
Every cell.
Saying to yourself,
I choose.
What is the word?
Again,
I choose,
Say it again.
I choose one more time.
Now for the next few breaths.
Be yourself.
Being.
A person who lives from that choice.
How do they move through the world?
They no longer tolerate.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale slowly coming back.
Into the room you're in.
Filling your seat.
Heal your feet.
Try to bring some movement to your fingers and toes.
When you're ready.
Working slowly.
Your eyes,
Maybe stretch.
