Hello and welcome to the Path to Freedom podcast.
A weekly podcast with the intention to inspire,
Empower and uplift us all to develop a healing consciousness that we,
That is you and me,
May forever allow for greater and grander versions and expressions of who and what we are to emerge with ease,
Grace and spiritual dignity.
My name is Daniel Rocquio and I am your host.
Blessings everyone and welcome to this week's episode of the Path to Freedom podcast.
This podcast,
This weekly podcast with the intention to inspire,
Empower,
Uplift,
Move,
Touch each and every single one of us to wake up to who and what we are,
That we may forever allow for greater and grander expressions of that who and what to emerge,
That we may allow for the peace and the love and the joy and the freedom and the harmony and the wholeness that is inherent within us to come forth,
To shine through us,
To radiate out into our lives with ease and grace.
My name is Daniel Rocquio and I am the host of this podcast and if this is the first time you tune in,
From the bottom of my heart I welcome you.
Welcome,
Welcome,
Welcome.
I'm so glad to see you,
I'm so glad to feel you.
I can't see you really but I can feel you and so I'm happy that you're here and I'm welcoming you here.
If you are returning,
If this is not the first time,
As always you're equally,
Equally welcome.
All are welcome to this space of love that we are co-creating here.
The topic for today is let's say yes to our future selves.
Let's say yes to our future selves and this topic came to me a couple of days ago as a result of two encounters that I had a number of days ago which led me and guided me and moved me and pulled me into a major expansion actually.
We're speaking about allowing for greater and greater expressions to emerge and I'm in such a period right now where such a greater and greater expression is,
It's being born,
It is emerging right now.
It is emerging because of these two encounters,
These two individuals that I on the surface happen to bump into,
Happen to encounter.
So this is the topic for today,
Let's say yes to our future selves.
But as always before we move into the actual episode and all the talking and the exploring,
Let's have a moment of stillness,
A moment of meditation,
A moment of prayer,
A moment of coming back to the nowness of this moment,
A moment of coming back and beginning again.
And so in this moment I invite you to take a couple of deep breaths.
I invite you to gently tap between your eyebrows,
Activating that first eye,
The spiritual eye.
I invite you to smile,
Give the body permission to release and distribute these beautiful tonic chemicals that are good for the body,
Good for the soul,
Good for the mind chemicals.
And as always we want to set an intention for our meditations and my intentions are always to wake up to whom what I am,
To allow for greater and greater expressions of that whom and what to emerge and to be a greater teacher and healer than I've ever imagined.
So these are my intentions for sitting.
And so I invite us to place our hands in our lap,
Palms facing upward,
Thumb and middle finger touching as a sign of receptivity of being open and available.
Let's turn our attention within toward our breath,
Toward the full breath.
And as always when we use the breath to anchor us in the nowness of this moment there are two things we need to be aware of.
One,
The body is fully capable and able to breathe by itself.
In other words we don't need to make the breathing happen,
We don't need to breathe,
But the body breathes in and of itself.
And all we need to do is pay attention to it,
Observe it,
Be present with it,
Allow it to happen.
And secondly we need to be aware of what a full breath is.
That a full breath is that circle beginning with the in-breath and then we have the pause,
The space in between the in and the out-breath,
Then we have the out-breath,
And then we have the slightly longer pause or space between the out-breath and the in-breath.
And we want to keep our attention on our breath throughout this full circle.
The breath does not end with the out-breath but it continues.
And so taking on the feeling tone that all is well,
We allow our breathing to move us into stillness and silence.
