As you relax and settle in here,
Blink your eyes closed and just bring your attention to your eyelids,
Specifically where that top lid rests on the bottom lid and effortlessly and automatically with each exhale,
Feel that top lid get heavier,
Stickier on that bottom lid more and more with each exhale,
Effortlessly and automatically.
And now bring your awareness to your breath.
Just feel your breath move in and out of your body.
Feel your body move with your breath.
And now whenever you're ready,
Just begin taking three long,
Slow,
Deep breaths,
Full inhale and full exhale,
Full exhale,
Releasing even more tension with each exhale,
Feeling yourself soften with each breath.
After that third deep breath,
Just return to the natural rhythm of your breath.
And just feel yourself here,
Bringing your awareness along the backside of your body.
Observe the softness beneath you and effortlessly and automatically with each exhale,
Your body sinks even deeper.
And now imagine a light from the highest source.
This light holds wisdom,
Peace,
And healing for you.
And know now that a beam of this light is coming toward you.
And this divine light is now above the crown of your head.
So imagine opening the crown of your head and allowing this light to come in.
This beautiful divine energy from the highest source comes in through your crown,
And your body responds immediately.
As it touches the top of your head,
You feel its warmth.
As it moves down your forehead and eyebrows,
You feel those muscles soften and release.
And this light moves along your temple and jawline.
Your cheeks.
And this light moves into your neck,
Pools in your shoulders.
You feel those shoulders soften and sink even deeper.
As this light fills your arms from your shoulders,
Past your elbows,
All the way to your fingertips.
And your arms feel so heavy at your sides.
This light moves into your chest,
Opening your heart center.
This light overflows into your abdomen,
Down into your back.
And you feel all the muscles along your spine soften and give way to gravity.
As this light moves through your hips,
Into your chest,
Into your legs,
And it pools in your feet.
You feel a wave of relaxation move through your entire being.
And now bring your awareness to the very center of you.
And know now that there is a spark of light at the very center of you.
The spark of light is the ancient,
Eternal,
All-knowing part of you.
The part of you that holds all the memories,
All the plans.
And know now that with each breath,
The spark of light is growing bigger and brighter,
Bigger and brighter with each breath,
Each heartbeat.
Just imagine this light getting so big and so bright that it shines out all around you.
And this light forms a protective layer all around you.
Have this light surround you with its love and protection.
Only truth and love can enter this space as you go deeper and deeper relaxed.
And just relax here in this energy that you are totally protected.
Feel your body respond,
The light that you are,
And the peace that comes with it.
And imagine a grounding root system going from your core down into the earth.
And just know that with each exhale,
You release any excess energy,
Anything that's no longer yours to carry down into this root system.
And with each inhale,
These roots pull up grounding,
Nourishing energy,
Energy that calms you even more,
Energy that holds you safely in the energy of mother earth.
And just relax here in this divine energy that you are.
Because you're in this wonderfully relaxed state,
You can feel and access your soul self even more.
You can feel this light that you are,
This wonderful abundance of energy.
And now imagine your light reaching out beyond this protective layer that surrounds you and you remain inside of.
Imagine your light reaching out farther and farther.
As your light grows,
You feel this light that you are even more.
And every day now,
You are more and more aware of this light that you are and the gifts and power you have because of it.
And your light reaches out even farther until it's expanded into all that is.
And you are one with all the energy around you.
And all the energy that is you.
And you are now in a place of expanded consciousness,
Expanded awareness.
And now just allow yourself to remember a time where you didn't have to do anything.
No need to consciously remember the details.
Just allow your body to recognize the feeling.
Maybe it was a moment where you were drifting off to sleep or sitting somewhere warm and comfortable,
Or maybe just existing near someone without needing to say anything.
And just observe how your body felt in that moment.
The absence of effort,
Absence of expectation,
Nothing to hold together or get right.
And just let your body remember that feeling.
A time where you didn't have to do anything.
And just let that feeling spread quietly throughout your body,
Your mind.
Just allow it to unfold in whatever way feels natural to you.
And as you continue to settle into this feeling,
You begin to notice how much of your energy has been going toward keeping things smooth,
Keeping things easy.
No need to analyze,
Just simply notice.
And as you become aware of this,
It may feel like something you've been carrying.
Like a weight or a backpack.
Maybe one you didn't fully notice until now.
And just begin to imagine setting that weight down.
Just allow it to slide gently away.
And notice even the slightest shift.
As your body becomes a little lighter,
A little more open.
And as you feel these shifts in your body,
Begin to recognize connection that isn't something you have to earn.
It's something that aligns naturally with who you are.
And just allow that quiet recognition to form.
I don't have to earn connection.
And just allow that to be there.
No need to repeat it or make it true.
And with this awareness and this openness,
Every day you see more and more what it feels like to let people meet you where you are.
Just as you are.
Without preparing.
Without adjusting.
And without managing how it's received.
And as you experience that more and more every day,
A natural curiosity arises within you.
About who people actually are when you're not shaping the interaction.
Just letting things unfold.
Just allowing what's true.
Rising to clarity all on its own.
In this feeling,
This allowing,
And this curiosity grows more and more every day.
Effortlessly and automatically,
You notice.
You're just letting things unfold.
You're not pushing.
You're not assuming.
Just allow what's true to rise into clarity into your conscious mind all on its own.
And as this continues more and more every day,
You notice what it feels like to take up space in your relationships.
Not more than you need.
Not less than you are.
Just the natural space that is already yours.
And every day you see more and more clearly which relationships can hold that space.
Without needing to judge.
You simply notice.
And you recognize something in you is beginning to shift.
It's becoming lighter,
More at ease,
More clear in your quiet knowing.
Your only role here is to be yourself more honestly,
Naturally,
Naturally,
More fully with each day.
As this awareness unfolds naturally within you,
You'll begin to notice places where you once felt the need to get smaller,
To adjust,
To fold in,
To feel different or assume a role.
And when you feel that you're immediately conscious of it.
Knowing these are old habits and behaviors that no longer serve you.
A shift begins within you effortlessly and automatically.
You begin to sense a feeling of being supported in your full presence of being met there,
Right where you are in this recognition that you are already enough without effort,
Without performance,
Without holding anything together.
And from that place,
You shift even more naturally without needing to force anything.
As you experience connection from this space,
You fully recognize and know that belonging doesn't require effort,
Only presence.
And with this knowing,
A deep sense of relief comes over you.
It's the subtle feeling of returning to yourself,
A place inside of you that doesn't need to adjust or perform or manage.
It doesn't need to monitor how you're being received.
The relief of being just you as you are.
And every day you feel more and more what it feels like to be fully yourself without needing to check or prepare for how it's received.
You find the truth is so clear and it moves so easily here.
And as this experience settles in even deeper,
Your system remembers this is real belonging.
No performance,
Just the relief of being you.
More and more every day,
You easily reflect and you feel a sense of acceptance for who you are.
A quiet gratitude for the people around you.
A grateful gratitude for the people who see you and appreciate you.
Without needing to try,
Just allow that feeling to go even deeper in whatever way feels natural.
No need to do anything.
Just allow that knowing to grow and integrate as you rest,
As you sleep,
As your system continues to reorganize in the background.
And just let yourself drift.
Knowing that nothing needs to be figured out tonight.
And every day now you begin to notice what it feels like to be fully yourself without needing to check how it's being received.
And as you experience connection here,
You remember and recognize that true belonging doesn't require effort,
Only presence.
And as you continue to drift even deeper into sleep,
Know that each day you'll notice more and more acceptance and gratitude for who you are and the people who see you and appreciate you as you are.
