Hi my friend,
Arrive slowly in this moment,
Just as you are,
Closing your eyes if that feels safe and let yourself sink into the safety of your stillness,
Allow yourself to really rest in this moment,
Bring your attention to your breath,
Inviting in and inhale,
Inviting in and exhale,
Encouraging the breath to deepen,
Inhale,
Allowing your mind to rest in this moment,
Feel your body soften,
Releasing the tension,
Coming back to the ease,
The calm that's always within you,
What new chapter is on its way for you,
What new beginning are you anticipating,
Do you feel ready and completely unprepared all at once,
Sit with this duality,
Sit with what is true for you,
Without any judgment or desire to change anything,
What's coming up for you my friend,
Worrying will never change the outcome,
We can plan and plan and prepare and over prepare but we really won't know how it will unfold until we're in the moment,
So can you let it go,
Can you recognize that you just need to be here,
The future can wait,
My friend within the unknown are infinite possibilities,
What if it's better than you can imagine,
Right here can you open your palms to receive and surrender,
Releasing control,
Releasing your attachment to knowing,
Releasing the rush of getting there,
You are on your way,
It will unfold exactly as it should,
What if even just for a moment you dared to give yourself the benefit of the doubt,
What if you allowed yourself to believe that maybe good things are possible,
What if you allowed yourself to consider that a new chapter is begging to be written,
What if you stopped asking why me and started asking why not,
What if you believed you could heal and change,
What if you believed you could be different,
What if you believed you could change the world just by showing up and changing your own,
Begin today,
Let it feel new today,
Here's to feeling courage over what's known and certain,
Here's to releasing what isn't ours,
Here's to palms wide open to new beginnings,
Here's to taking one step forward into the hope and possibility of tomorrow,
Breathe in slow,
Let it go,
Allowing your heart to be filled with hope and gratitude and readiness,
Heart open,
Chin up,
Eyes forward,
Shoulders back,
Palms open,
Welcoming in this new chapter,
This chance to begin again,
This chance to discover,
May you continue to lean into this my friend,
Within uncertainty there are limitless possibilities,
Head is greater than what you're leaving behind,
Inhale slow,
Big audible exhale,
Whisper something you need to hear in this moment,
Only when you're ready,
Become aware of the ground beneath you,
Feel the chair,
The cushion hold you,
Without opening your eyes just yet,
See the space around you,
Feel the safety of where you are and the trust of where you're going,
On your next breath in,
Blinking your eyes open if they were closed,
Big exhale with a smile,
You got this my friend,
Go slowly now and keep trusting the unfolding,
Choose courage over fear for this new beginning,
From my heart to yours.
