Hello,
My friend.
This is a meditation that finds you when you find yourself in a place of needing to say a powerful no.
A space,
A place of needing to set stronger,
More firm boundaries for yourself so that you can show up fully,
Not only for yourself but for every single other human being in your life.
This is Here by HMT,
Where we find reasons why right here is the best place to be,
My friend.
And if you can,
Close down your eyes.
Let's take a big,
Beautiful inhale.
Breath through your nose.
Inhale.
Exhale,
Let that go.
Another deep inhale.
Breath here,
This time from the bottom of your belly.
Inhale,
Fill up.
Expand,
Expand.
Exhale,
Let that go.
As big,
As deep as breath here.
Of your day or month,
Your year.
Inhale from the bottoms of your feet,
Up your legs,
Your torso.
Inhale,
Inhale.
Hold at the top.
Inhale,
5% more.
Exhale,
Let something go.
Now in your mind's eye,
My friend,
I just wish for you to take a moment,
Take a second to check in,
To tune in to where your thoughts are in this moment.
Now perhaps your thoughts are running wild here.
Perhaps there are some thoughts that have been planted in your mind today,
This week,
Or this year,
That maybe don't even belong to you.
Just notice.
Now as you take this moment to pause,
To notice,
My friend,
Can you begin to see that these thoughts are in fact separate from you?
And in doing so,
Can you begin to sink a little bit deeper into your body,
Into your being here,
As you take this next breath in.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Another deep breath here,
My friend.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Last,
Biggest,
Deepest one.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Now in this next moment,
My friend,
I invite you to imagine in your mind's eye that you are traveling forward into the future.
Traveling forwards to the vision,
The dream of a future home.
Perhaps this is a home that you've seen before.
Design images are popping up now in your mind,
And you can see and truly envision that place.
Or perhaps this is the first time that you're connecting with the idea of a future home,
A future place,
A space,
A house that will hold you,
That will support you,
That will be a place for you to experience your life,
The love,
The joys,
The hardships,
The challenges,
And hold you through all of it.
Now as you land in this future moment,
I invite you to imagine yourself standing outside of this home.
Now outside of this home,
You have a wider view,
A 360 degree perspective of all that is around you.
My friend,
And around you,
There are perhaps some roads,
Maybe some other homes,
Maybe some nature,
Trees.
And as you stand here,
As you witness this place,
This home of yours,
I invite you to begin to connect with how do we distinguish our property,
Our home,
Our space,
Our place from those around us?
How do we know where our beautiful piece of land ends and theirs starts?
My friend,
This is our chance,
Our opportunity to outline,
To truly see where that boundary lays.
Because when we do,
We can get creative with what is on the inside,
And we get to choose where that line is.
And the beautiful thing about this choice,
My friend,
Is when that line is laid out,
Then all the other people that live around us can know where that line is too.
And they too can then be creative with their own space.
Because without that boundary,
We may be uncertain,
We may be wobbly,
We may not know how to proceed with our own creativity,
With our own expression,
With our own being.
Because we aren't sure how it may affect those around us.
And so in this moment,
We get to decide where that line is,
So that we can fully express ourself within our home,
Within our body,
Within our house,
Within our being,
Within our life,
My friend.
But without that,
Things feel uncertain.
We feel wobbly.
It's harder to connect with the power within,
With what is at the heart of our home,
Of our body,
Of our being,
And of the knowing of who we are.
And so in this moment,
As you connect with this vision,
As you see yourself drawing this line,
Perhaps you begin to set this boundary with physical materials.
Maybe you start to build,
Maybe you set some bushes around or trees.
What does this look like for you?
Perhaps this is a simple knowing of where that boundary lies.
And you communicating that with the beautiful,
Incredible humans around you,
So that everyone can feel supported.
Because my friend,
The boundaries are not harmful.
What can be harmful is when we don't set them.
People begin to move in on our home,
On our space,
Without realizing that they're doing so.
And it starts to deplete our energy,
Our property,
Our creativity.
So this is your chance.
This is your moment,
Your opportunity,
My friend.
And as you do,
As you envision this here with this future home of yours,
Perhaps there is something right now in your life,
Someone right now in your life,
That could also use a boundary.
That could also use this line,
So that you can express and live fully in this life.
And so that they can too,
My friend.
Because whatever boundary you set is best for you and for them too.
Is best for you and your environment too.
Is best for everyone.
And perhaps it feels scary and maybe there's resistance and in this moment it feels hard.
But my friend,
I'm telling you and I am begging you,
That when you do,
Please,
Please do.
Because when you do,
That is when the world opens up.
That is when you can fully express yourself.
Because those lines,
They are not a cage.
They are there to support you.
They are there to uplift you,
To remind you that you can be fully creative.
You can be fully expressed from this safe space,
This safe haven.
Your body,
Your nervous system,
My friend,
Will thank you.
So in this moment,
Connect with what in your life right now needs that boundary.
Breathe into this,
My friend,
Right here,
Right now.
Powerful breath.
Exhale.
As you envision yourself setting that boundary with that person or that environment,
Breathe here.
You are safe here,
Breathing into your body,
Into your power.
Inhale here.
Exhale.
Last,
Biggest,
Deepest one here.
Inhale,
Really fill up,
Fill up,
Fill up.
Imagine yourself setting that boundary.
One more inhale.
Powerful exhale.
Breathe it out.
Feel the power of that boundary.
Feel the power in your body,
In your being here.
Maybe you even sense this in your physical body,
The opening of your chest,
Feeling proud,
Feeling,
Feeling ready to express yourself fully,
My friend,
Because this world needs you to express yourself fully.
So as you take one more moment here in this future vision of this beautiful home,
These boundaries that you've set,
This incredible property of yours that you have created because you showed up,
You said a powerful no when you needed to.
You said yes to yourself.
And the energy of that,
My friend,
Poured out into your life.
And to in the lives of everyone else around you.
Take this last moment here with this future vision.
Notice and connect with how beautiful,
How vibrant it is because you,
You chose to set that powerful boundary.
Breathe into this vision.
Breathe into this power.
Breathe,
My friend,
Into this radiance.
Inhale.
Exhale.
One more here.
Inhale.
Slowly coming back,
Back to your body on the exhale.
As biggest,
Most powerful breath yet,
My friend.
Inhale.
When you're ready,
Exhale.
Pause here before you open your eyes,
My friend.
Pause in the knowing that setting this boundary,
Saying that powerful no is the most important thing you can do.
I believe in you and I know that you believe in you too.
When you're ready and only if and when you are ready,
My friend,
Softly,
Slowly.
Oh,
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for being here with me right here.
It's exactly where you were meant to be.
