Arrive here slowly and allow your eyes to close if that would feel right.
Give yourself a deep breath in.
And a big exhale.
Dropping into your heart.
Taking your awareness from the external world to your internal world.
Notice what is present Let yourself exist fully right now.
Just be with yourself here.
Softening into your body.
Really feeling yourself shift into the observing mind scene.
Witnessing.
Letting there be a sense of peace because you just need to land here Pause here.
Steady breath in Steady exhale.
We all have an inner critic.
We also all have an inner friend.
Imagine reuniting with your inner friend right now allowing this loving,
Encouraging,
Accepting and kind version of you to come forward and meet yourself right here How would you greet yourself?
Would it be a warm hug?
Jumping for joy that you're together again.
Imagine your inner friend.
Sitting down next to you.
And whispering,
I am here.
I love you.
I'm here to listen.
Notice if your inner friend is from the past or the future.
They hold some sort of wisdom they can finally help you see yourself as you are today.
Helping you see that you are enough.
You are working so hard You're on the right path.
What does your inner friend have to tell you?
Feeling this genuine support.
The safety.
Staying with your inner friend a little longer I wish I could squeeze the hand of my past self and tell her we'll be fine,
Then pick up the phone to my future self just to hear her recite the same line feeling this peace and knowing you are held by you Your inner friend is always there.
To lean on.
To feel supported by.
To be seen by me.
Follow your breath in.
Let it go.
I invite you to give yourself a hug.
Wrap your arms around yourself.
This hug to you releases the same feel-good hormones as It would if you were hugging someone else.
Feeling your own touch,
Your own embrace Squeezing your arms gently.
Whispering,
I've got you.
I love you.
I'll be fine.
Placing your hands over your heart.
Grateful for this inner friend What a gift it is to tap into your own kindness and love.
Breath in.
Breath out,
Carry this practice with you.
Walk alongside your inner friend today.
Take it easy,
Take it slow Finding movement in the body.
Me back into your space.
Blinking your eyes open really slowly as you look around what a gift it is to be you from my heart to yours.
