Close your eyes and feel your body resting against the back of your chair,
Your feet firmly on the ground,
Your hands gently resting in your lap.
Take a few deep,
Grounding breaths,
Feel the air fill your lungs and gently exhale.
Take another breath and feel the fresh oxygen bringing life to every cell in your body.
As you exhale,
Let go of everything that you do not need to hold on to anymore.
Take a couple more deep,
Grounding breaths and settle into your body.
Oh,
What a journey you have been on.
You have come through the forest and you have now reached the other side.
You can see the light beckoning you through the trees and you can hear people calling your name.
As you make your way to the end of your journey,
Turn and look back.
Stop and breathe in all you have learned,
Your conviction,
Your curiosity,
Your conscientiousness,
Your courage,
Your connection,
Your commitment.
Gather it all into the basket of your heart.
Now as you prepare to emerge from the forest,
Send your love and appreciation forward.
Send it forward into the great unknown.
Send thanks in advance to the editors who will work on your book,
To the booksellers who will sell it,
To the book cover designers who will design your beautiful book cover,
To the postman who will be delivering your books,
To all the people who will show up in your life when you need them to help you get your book out into the world.
Send your appreciation to all the readers who are going to buy your book,
All those whose lives will be touched by your writing.
Imagine people clicking on your book on Amazon and purchasing it.
I want you to see people holding your book,
Turning the pages,
Crying or laughing as they read.
Imagine how many people you're touching with your words.
Imagine the five star reviews.
I want you to picture them.
Picture yourself sitting at your desk,
In a coffee shop or anywhere in the world.
Writing is now part of who you are.
You will carry it with you wherever you go.
This is your time.
You have waited a long,
Long time for it and you've worked hard to bring your heart and your voice to the page.
Now take another few breaths and slowly open your eyes.
As you open them,
Feel how full your heart is with a sense of what you've done and what is possible.
Feel how you have awoken to your true power over the past nine weeks and how everything you wish to create for yourself is waiting for you.
