Hi my friend,
Maybe for this meditation you would like to lay down,
Really soften and surrender,
There's no right or wrong,
Finding a posture that supports you,
Closing your eyes if that feels safe,
Begin by just noticing the breath,
Notice how the body is breathing,
Feel gratitude for the effortlessness of your breath,
You are alive,
You are here,
Encourage your breath to deepen,
Inhale through your nose,
Exhale out your mouth,
Inhale deeply,
Feel the lungs expand,
Exhale let it all go,
Start to feel your energy soften,
Feel your mind and heart,
Opening your palms to surrender,
Allow your face to melt,
Your jaw to soften,
You can let go here,
My friend there is strength in the softening,
You don't have to hold it all,
You don't have to pretend everything is okay,
There's no need to rush to change,
To fix anything,
You don't have to hide your feelings,
Or hide that you are human,
Breathe in,
It is safe to soften,
Belinda Marie writes,
Instead of trying to fix,
Push and overcome herself,
She finds her place and path when she comes home to the natural cadence and wisdom of her deeper soul,
She rediscovers the truth of her feminine spirit and begins to soften into her true essence,
Releasing the striving need to emulate the hyper-masculine values and paths she has seen modeled to her,
From here she can honor and value her unique pace,
Beauty,
Sensitivity and path,
She finally feels safe to soften,
Rest,
Feel and be as she gently restores a new fertile ground for her life,
As she creates a foundation that reflects her deeper feminine value,
Soul essence and intuitive heart,
It is safe to soften,
Feel the relief in every cell of your body here,
Resting your mind into this new awareness,
You are here to be soft,
To be in your true essence,
Releasing any force,
Releasing any unnecessary expectations,
Softening into your truth,
And feel safe in this softness,
Feel safe in this stillness,
Allow this version of you to really come forward,
To be felt and known and seen,
Soft yet incredibly strong,
Can you feel a shift in your energy,
Can you notice the you that is here now,
It's time to stop resisting your softness and instead embrace it,
Welcome it in,
Know that being soft is powerful,
Carry this practice with you,
If your heart could speak to you about being soft,
What would it say,
What would it whisper,
Only when you're ready begin to notice the parts of you that are connected to the earth,
The cushion,
The ground beneath you,
Surrender just a little more,
Be held,
Slowly notice any sounds near or far,
Let your awareness start to trickle into your surroundings,
Very slowly reawakening the body,
Finding movement,
Blinking your eyes open if they were closed,
Find a soft smile,
Feel this ease and softness in your body,
From my heart to yours.
