Hi my friend,
Welcome home.
Give yourself a deep breath in through your nose.
Exhale,
Feel that sigh of relief.
Breath in.
Breath out,
You made it.
You are here.
You are safe feels right to you closing your eyes just for a moment as you place your hands over your heart.
Feel the rhythm of your heart.
This heart that has been with you as you travel the world.
As you went through uncertainty as you journey through the world.
Just notice.
What has impacted your heart.
What is on your heart now?
Releasing everything that went wrong during your trip and recognizing that maybe it was so things could fall into place letting go of any lingering expectations release all the judgments allowing what happened to drift into the past.
Because you are not there anymore,
You are here you are home breathe it in and let it all go.
Keeping one hand on your heart and pressing the other hand into the ground beneath you or couch,
The cushion beneath you.
Feeling rooted into the surface beneath you that is holding you steady.
Feel the presence and the sturdiness of whatever is holding you.
Noticing the texture,
The warmth or the coolness rooting down here settling in here you are home,
You are safe Breath in.
Let it go.
Noticing the parts of your mind that are still in the past.
Swirling in whatever has happened.
Can you focus on the light?
Instead of the thoughts that are repeating in your mind,
The ones that were hard and scary.
Repeat the beautiful moments ruminate on the good times.
Bring into your mind's awareness a moment where you felt peace Bring into your mind's eye a moment where you felt joy.
Bring into your mind's eye a moment where you felt awe you Bring into your mind's eye a moment of gratitude.
Breath in.
Breath out,
You are home.
You are safe to reorient yourself even more.
The quiet of your own mind state the city and the state that you are in whispering,
I am home.
I am safe.
Very slowly blinking your eyes open and gently looking around your space very slowly using your eyes to scan the room around you Notice the color of the walls.
Maybe notice the different fabric around you,
Blankets,
Pillows,
Chairs.
See the artwork hanging,
Photos.
Paintings.
Maybe looking up gently at the ceiling.
The various light fixtures.
Slowly scanning taking in your surroundings.
Looking outside your windows.
What do you see?
Maybe reaching out your hands to touch a blanket or a pillow or the cushion beneath you.
Noticing what's below you.
Cushion,
Chair,
The carpet,
The wood floor,
Now let your eyes gently look around and find something that brings you joy.
Something that makes you smile.
Slowly look around and find something that makes you feel peace and calm.
Let yourself rest here Follow your breath in.
Follow your breath out.
You are safe,
You are home maybe continuing to look around your space,
Feeling gratitude Feeling a sense of stillness and ease wash over you as you reorient yourself here.
Only when you're ready and not a moment sooner,
Closing your eyes if that feels right,
Turning back inward.
Breathe in.
Let it go.
If you ever feel lost,
Please remember that you can make a home within your own heart.
You are here to learn not that you don't need connection but that without being connected to yourself nothing else is viable You are here to find the courage to create your own home.
You are the person you are waiting for You are the love of your life and the hero of your story.
Your heart is where peace is Your heart is where love is.
Your heart is where safety is.
Feel that you are here for yourself deeply.
That you can bring yourself this sense of safety.
Finally feeling that you have arrived.
You have returned.
You are home Slow breath in.
Let it go.
When you are your own home,
It's okay if nothing goes as planned.
When you are your own home,
It's okay if uncertainty is unbearable.
Because you know that you can adapt.
You know that you can always return to peace even when there's discomfort Now whisper something to yourself that you need to hear.
You Breath in,
Let it go.
Maybe wrapping your arms around yourself,
Giving yourself a squeeze.
Actually feeling your own touch squeezing down your arms.
Squeezing your torso gently,
Your heart.
Maybe you bring your palms to your face,
Holding your face.
Breath in.
Exhale,
Shh.
You are safe,
You are here,
Breath in Inhale and exhale.
Letting your hands float back to your heart Maybe one more shhhh breath,
Inhale… Exhale Shhhh.
Gratitude for this moment.
Gratitude for your heart and all that you've endured May you continue to return.
You are here.
You are not there.
You are home,
You are safe Go really slowly now and give yourself everything you need today.
Keep listening,
Keep taking really,
Really good care as you ease back into your life feeling a sense of confidence knowing that you are okay all is well.
One more breath in.
Release from my heart to yours
