We'll start this meditation with an invitation to become anchored and present through awareness in your body and in the very current and alive experience of now.
And to start to settle in to being here now with yourself,
You can just start to bring your awareness to the body and just make a mental note of the posture that your body is in right now.
Maybe you're sitting or laying down.
Just notice through your mind's attention that the body is in the position that it's in.
Just give your body a chance to become settled in that posture.
You may notice any tension the body is carrying,
Any feelings of tightness anywhere.
Just really give yourself a chance to let that go,
To release any aspects of any lingering stress or worry or fear or doing that you're still carrying.
Now is the time to really melt into the moment and to really give yourself the sacred gift of awareness in the present,
This powerful palpable time to be,
To go within with intention and attention.
This is an act of true self-love.
This meditation is going to walk you through what it means to connect to yourself in radically authentic ways,
To bring forth your truth,
The truest,
Most real and honorable parts of who you are.
As you embark on being with your truest self,
The deepest parts of your composition,
The most holy elements of your truest identity,
The light that is innately within your being,
You may notice fear or inadequacy or dread or distraction or any other unpleasant or wary feeling tone.
Whatever comes up,
Invite it in.
Allow it.
Get really curious about its presence in your experience.
Stay with yourself long enough to uncover its message.
Your awareness can be present with it all.
Allow the experience before shifting it to something that is more reflective of your authentic core.
Authenticity is truth.
Authenticity is vulnerability.
And it may not have always been safe for you to be authentic,
To be vulnerable.
There may have been some really hard and painful threats that you encountered at one point in your life.
And what that part of you really needs is recognition and compassion and a relentless reminder that what was once unsafe isn't now.
And you get to come to your own rescue radically,
Devotedly,
Courageously,
Knowing that you're worth it and you matter and you're enough.
And you always were.
And you always will be.
And the more risk you take to express and live from the truest,
Most real and tender parts of who you are,
The more you will feel the rich liberation that comes from reclaiming your core sense of self.
And the more empowered you are to live the life that you're meant to live,
Free and happy and full of love and compassion and release and rebirth and transcendence and transformation.
Simple authenticity does not mean perfection.
It never did.
And it never will.
It means that you're willing to confront,
Accept,
Honor,
Listen and love yourself,
All of yourself,
All of the parts that live within you that compose your humanity and that you do the work to heal all of the places that need your heart.
Simple authenticity is a fluid,
Robust and honorable learning how to come back home.
And I'm really grateful that you're here doing this beautiful work to be awake and aware and courageous enough to heal from your truest and most real place of being.
I celebrate you wholeheartedly.
Thank you for letting me guide you here.
I invite you to let yourself stay settled,
Be in silence with the support of the music and to let this land and settle in as you round out this time,
This sacred gift you've given yourself.
Let this experience carry you as you forge forward along the path.
Until next time,
Be peace.
