Welcome,
It's Julie.
Please get into a comfortable seated position.
Make sure that your spine is tall,
Arms and hands at ease,
And slowly flutter the eyelids closed.
As you start to ponder what your boundaries are in this new world we are all living in,
Creating a wish list may offer a way to shift your thinking from what you're anxious about to the positive experiences you're looking forward to,
Offering us a sense of hope and freedom.
Give yourself permission to go slow.
As you ease into new activities,
Remember be gentle with yourself as you reintegrate into society.
Let's take three deep breaths here.
Focus on the breath at the entrance of the nose,
Feeling that cool air coming in and the warm air going out.
Try not to control the breath,
Just bring your attention to your breath in this very moment.
Allow any thoughts to come up and know that a busy mind or an agitated body is perfectly normal.
It's just the body in the mind processing.
We will be here for a couple of minutes.
We will be here for a couple of minutes.
We will be here for a couple of minutes.
We will be here for a couple of minutes.
We will be here for a couple of minutes.
Now bring your awareness into the center of your eyebrows with the eyes closed.
As you gaze there,
Think about your intention for reentering society.
What are you personally comfortable with?
For me,
I will be taking it day by day,
Having flexible boundaries that support my wellbeing.
Take a few moments to consider what this might look like for you and hold the intention in your mind's eye for a moment.
Take a few moments to consider what this might look like for you and hold the intention in your mind's eye for a moment.
Start seeing yourself feeling more at ease,
Living within your own boundaries and giving yourself permission to go slower.
Seeing what feels right for you while refocusing on the positive experiences to come in your life.
Start to feel the emotions.
See the colors and the people around you as you visualize every detail of standing in your own power and experiencing a more authentic way of being throughout your life.
Take a few moments to consider what this might look like for you and hold the intention in your mind's eye for a moment.
Take a few moments to consider what this might look like for you and hold the intention in your mind's eye for a moment.
Come back to the breath at the entrance of your nose and feel the temperature of the air again.
Start to become aware of any noises around you.
Start to wiggle your fingers and your toes and perhaps stretch and know that you can come back to this feeling anytime you choose.
And may you always be authentic on your journey.
