Transcript

Let's take a moment to arrive,

There's nothing to accomplish here,

Nothing to solve.

Allow your body to settle in the way that feels most natural for you.

Feel the support beneath you,

Holding your weight without effort.

Take a slow breath in through your nose,

And release it gently through your mouth.

Another breath in,

And soften on the exhale.

Let yourself land inside your body,

And pause.

Now,

Let's bring your awareness to the base of your spine,

Your hips,

Your legs,

Your feet.

Now,

Imagine roots extending downward from the base of your body,

Slow,

Thick,

Steady roots,

Supporting you and this earth.

They move through the floor,

Through the soil,

Deep into the earth.

There's no rushing here,

No urgency,

The earth has time for you.

As your roots connect,

Feel pressure draining downward.

Feel the need to hurry,

Release from your body,

The need to get somewhere,

The feeling that something must be done right now,

And let it go,

And silently affirm,

I am safe to move at my own pace.

There is enough time,

I am supported.

Let the earth hold the weight that you've been carrying.

Take a full inhale here,

And a full exhale.

Let's take a moment to pause,

And see how this lands.

Let's bring awareness to the left side of your body,

Near the ribs,

The back,

The side.

Imagine a soft,

Steady glow here,

Quiet,

Subtle,

And alive.

This is awareness without fear,

Knowing without thinking.

Let your body sense this moment,

Not the past,

Not what might happen.

Take a full breath in,

And a full breath out,

And silently affirm,

My body knows how to care for me.

I trust the intelligence of the now.

Now let's rest in that quiet knowing,

Take a pause.

Now shift awareness to your upper belly and ribs.

Imagine a gentle wave moving through this space,

Rising,

Falling,

Flowing.

There's no need to stop this wave,

No need to understand it.

This is where we feel emotions,

And they're welcome here.

They're welcome to come,

And they're welcome to go,

In motion,

And not frozen.

Silently affirm,

I allow my emotions to move,

I do not need to rush clarity.

Let's take a breath in this moment,

And a pause.

We let our emotions pass in its own rhythm.

Now bring awareness to your lower belly.

Imagine a small flame glowing here,

Steady,

Warm,

And alive.

This flame does not need fuel from effort,

It burns naturally,

Sustainably.

This is your life force,

Your creative pulse.

Silently affirm,

I honor my energy,

I respond to what feels alive.

Let this flame glow,

Not brighter,

Just true.

Now let's pause and see how that lands.

Now let's bring awareness slightly to the right side of your chest.

Imagine this space softening open,

Not to prove,

Not to push,

But to rest.

Feel the strength that comes from not needing to try.

Notice how this lands.

Silently affirm,

I am already enough,

I do not need to prove my worth.

Let effort melt into ease.

Now bring awareness to the center of your chest.

Imagine a gentle field of light expanding outward from here.

It's not dramatic,

And it's not forced.

It's just steady love.

This love flows inward for yourself,

Exactly as you are.

It flows outward to others,

Without condition.

It extends beyond to nature,

To life,

To what is.

Silently affirm,

I am love in form.

I move through life guided by love.

I allow love to shape my direction.

Now let's rest in the feeling,

Not the idea of love.

Breathe in,

And soften as you exhale.

Now let's bring awareness to our throat area,

Our jaw,

Our neck.

Imagine this space as open air,

Clear,

Relaxed,

And still.

Relaxed,

Unforced.

You do not need to speak.

You do not need to explain.

Your presence communicates enough.

Notice how this lands.

Silently affirm,

I express when it is natural.

I trust my timing.

Let the throat relax,

And let it be easy.

Let's take a full breath in here.

And as we exhale,

Let's relax and melt the muscles in our throat area,

In our mouth.

Notice how this lands.

Now let's bring awareness to the center of your forehead.

Imagine the mind like a wide sky.

Thoughts may pass like clouds,

But the sky does not need to chase them.

You don't need to land on any thought.

You don't need to decide.

Breathe clarity here.

Silently affirm,

I release the need for certainty.

I allow my mind to rest.

Let's pause here as we let logic loosen its grip.

And just breathe.

Now let's bring awareness to the very top of our head.

Imagine an open channel of light and space right above you.

Ideas may come.

Questions may pass.

But nothing needs to stay.

Silently affirm,

I do not need to answer every question.

I allow inspiration to move through me.

Feel the relief of openness.

Let's pause here.

Now sense your body as a whole.

Roots below,

Light at the heart,

Flame in the belly,

Space in the mind.

You are not here to figure life out.

You're here to experience it.

Silently affirm,

I choose embodiment over logic.

I return to love again and again.

Take one slow breath in.

And a gentle breath out.

Let's pause here and see how it lands.

Now when you're ready,

I invite you to allow your eyes to open.

Open at their own pace.

As we carry this embodied love within ourselves,

In our day,

In our breath,

In our hearts.

Thank you.
