These are dark times.
Welcome darkness,
My old friend.
My container for my greatest light,
My invitation into my deepest powers.
A challenge to shine.
And truly a challenge to excavate that which lives in the dark.
Welcome the lowest of lows because contained in you is a catalyst into the highest of highs.
And in you is a wisdom about the light inside.
We enter a new cycle,
A new chance,
A new space to expand inside.
An opportunity to reset,
Replenish,
Recalibrate,
Restore.
Chance to see ourselves clearer and more honest each time we look.
A chance to illuminate in the darkness.
I invite you inside yourself.
Simple with a breath,
Inhaling deep.
And exhaling with a sigh.
Again making space with breath,
Inhaling fully.
Softening inside the exhale.
Each breath a softening.
Each breath a release,
Dropping the shields,
Dropping the masks,
All of them.
Dropping the resistance.
Dropping the outside,
Just for now.
Each breath like a vacuum,
Clearing away the debris that doesn't belong.
Breathing steady like filling up a balloon with the air.
Feeling filling belly,
Ribs,
Lungs,
Heart,
Throat,
Jaw,
Eyes,
Crown.
Hi.
Staying here in these soft spaces.
Smoothing and steadying,
Deepening the breathing.
Feeling that there is nothing else to do.
There's nowhere else to be.
There is no one else to answer to.
Nothing to prove.
Arriving in a vast,
Wide space.
Deep and dark,
Containing all of the emotion and all of the sensations.
And feeling them.
Receiving them.
With ease.
With gentleness.
Understanding.
With breath.
And for a few moments just feeling.
Just receiving.
With breath.
Knowing that you have all of the time in the universe to feel.
With breath.
Hi.
Inside the rain pour of emotion,
Thought,
Memory and feeling at the center of that storm.
There is a silence and a stillness.
That silence is the language of your soul.
What does it sound like?
The truth is contained there,
In the seat of your soul.
I invite you to envision this cycle.
This new turning of time,
Envision it there from the center.
And with it,
Set an intention.
Maybe a word to embody this cycle for yourself.
Breathe it in deep into the center.
And then say it out loud.
Say it three times more with clarity,
With strength,
With trust.
Breathe it in again.
Pour this time to the core of your core.
Releasing to the ether.
Reach arms out as if to expand your intention.
Shine it through fingertips.
Shine it through crowns.
Send it down through root.
Reach arms so wide that they start to wrap around you.
Hugging yourself and embrace of your center.
Squeezing with love.
Gratitude with understanding.
You are at the eye of the storm.
Clear space to see.
Clear space to hear.
The language of your soul,
Give it 20-20 vision.
Let no truth hide in the dark.
With your breath,
You illuminate your spirit.
What are you here to usher in?
What torch do you carry?
What wisdom lives in these bones?
This blood,
These cells?
What infinite source of health and vitality stirs at the center?
Remembering that there is nothing more to do.
There is nothing to accomplish.
There is nowhere else to be.
You are already it.
Right here.
Right now.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
Thank you.
Namaste.
