Hello this is George Kalensis and today I'm gonna read you a poem called You Are Not Broken. It's for all of us who feel torn, Who feel lonely, Who feel let down, Who feel stuck. I feel everything you can't see and the words I'm about to speak are my gift that the darkest days gave to me. So right now see if you can allow my words to really transform your world. Get comfortable, Lie down, Face up, Whatever makes you feel most at center with yourself and I want you to take a nice deep breath in through your nose. Exhale and let it all go. And I want you to invite something into your heart that maybe you've been wanting, Maybe you feel like you've been missing and take this feeling and know that I see you, I appreciate you, I feel you and I hear you. And while I read this poem just keep breathing with the intention and knowing that your heart is there for you. I heard a voice off in the distance shout words of wisdom that told me to open my eyes. It's also simple when you follow the rhythm of your heart it will tell you no lies. I can see the look of pain in your eyes and the heaviness of the feet on your face. Change is a natural part of life you must learn to embrace. At the height of the human experience is a beautiful creation of art. Eyes that can create a story with the face of the doors, A voice that inspires others to transform. Lips that can kiss and a tongue that can taste. Look no further, Life's too precious to waste. You can use this life to create a war or beautiful work of art. The choices you make are thread together by every bit of your heart. Everything that appears to be cracked and broken beneath your feet are puzzles in a process of life that you will continually meet. With your courageous will and your strong hands take a deep breath, Watch all that was once fallen begin to stand. What you are experiencing might well be the answer to someone else's prayers. Explore the possibilities that there's richness beyond the borders of your despair. All that aches right now can be turned into the light in which you seek. Only if you embrace change and wait patiently you will find solace in the words that I speak. A truth that runs deeper than time is to understand the only constant in life is change. Freedom to be yourself does not need to be earned it needs to be claimed. You are not broken, You are alive, You are open. I have learned from years of hardship that most of the struggles we face in life create neglect for our hearts and it really leaves us stuck in this prison of false beliefs. It's a vicious cycle that causes us to run on a windy road to nowhere to go. But when we can consciously choose to believe in ourselves even if it's for one breath we move from a reactive state to really an authority over our lives. We appreciate our lives because we know we have what it takes to make it through anything but more importantly we believe and we can either choose to create a life in the directions of our hearts and dreams or in a life of excuses and we can't do both. Close your eyes now if they're not already closed and let the music and my words wash over you. Take a breath in through your nose and let the sound of the exhale wash over your entire body. Take a nice slow breath in and exhale feel the sensations you want to feel. Most of the pain we feel in our life is the rejection of what is. So the poem that I read to you and connecting with your breath accomplishes two things. It removes the energy that needs to move around you and it realigns your capacity to deal with all the things that you reject in life mostly the feelings. So I want you to keep breathing and finding those things here for a few seconds. Give yourself permission to just be. And on this next breath pause at the top and let go and see if you can direct your breath to what called you here to listen to these words. Can you truly connect a deep wisdom within that ignited your desire to feel seen, To feel heard, To feel felt, To feel loved? Take another breath in. Let it go. Can you feel a difference between who you were a few minutes ago and who you are right now as these words wash over your body? And I want you to ask yourself and answer the first thing that comes to your heart without thinking. What are you truly holding on to that needs to let go? Breathe into that. Because if we are the ones that give meaning to the story we are also the ones that give meaning to change and we cannot hear the guidance of the universe or anything for the matter without first knowing what is possible and if we do not feel we cannot be free. Everything we hold on to are qualities that are waiting to be released and so we need to learn to become aware of what's true to our heart by connecting our breath and moving that energy. And so in these last few breaths take a few minutes to yourself to come into alignment with your heart and trust you have everything you need within. The truth is everyone struggles but we need not to be ashamed of our lives and connecting our breath with our hearts is how we shed layers of ourselves that do not serve us. It's the gift of life and it's the gift of letting go. Really great work today. Thank you for sitting with me and taking time to connect your heart and to really allow yourself to just be. I'll see you next time.
