This practice gives us permission to show up exactly as we are, not how we are supposed to be. This is a mindfulness exercise rooted in the awareness of what is, observation of the now, breath, and the openness to explore the possibility of what could be. Combining both elements of the present moment and a manifestation in a gentle and grounding body and breath practice.

Hi friends,

Can we allow ourselves the permission right now?

The permission to show up exactly how we are and not how we are supposed to be.

Maybe that means being with discomfort or maybe it's allowing ourselves a moment of peace and joy.

Can we allow?

Can we spend our days distancing ourselves from all the things our body is trying to tell us?

I hear you.

I hear you.

Can we honor this listening by joining in creating moments of presence,

Of stillness,

Of honoring what is and not about honoring what has to be?

Can we start by deepening our breath,

Paying respect to that breath,

Our lifeline?

Every breath a chance to start again.

An invitation to start again.

I hear you.

I hear you.

What might we pay attention to in our body right now?

A sensation,

A story.

It might be something painful.

Just paying attention with care and honor for exactly what is.

I hear you.

And if we were to let go of this stress or pain,

Tension,

What would we have to feel?

Might we create space for more moments like this?

Maybe freedom or ease.

Ah,

Ease.

Maybe even just that.

So breathing into that spot,

That spot that says something is wrong.

Can we tend to it?

Can we soften to it and feel it just as it is?

And with each inhale and each exhale,

Further letting go of what has been built up here,

Creating space and opening.

Where do we feel that opening?

Maybe it's somewhere in our body or even in our soul.

Can we sense what we can fill that space with?

All that we hope to be or all that we already know we are.

I hear you.

Your inner wisdom is calling you.

I hear you.

Giving permission to allow your infinite and limitless self into that space.

That space that is gaining energy,

Warmth,

And brightness.

Maybe you even get a sense of what color it might be.

Or maybe even other imagery.

Can you allow yourself to fully come into your space,

Your being,

Your body?

Your body just as it is.

What else can we hear within the body?

Maybe somewhere that needs attention or care.

Can we focus on this area and bring that same limitless self to the table?

Filling up space,

Space that is yours to take and no one else.

You are more than what your body appears to be and what your body appears to be is a collection of your limitless self,

Bright and expansive.

When you breathe into this,

Breathing into all that you are and letting go of all that you feel you should be.

And again breathing in,

Beautiful and out.

You are limitless.

You are whole.

You are all that you are supposed to be.

Just beautiful, and such a balanced approach, first acknowledging what is, and then exploring the other end of the spectrum. And just as with the example of the body, i affirm that i my life is also limitless and beautiful as it is, and not as it should be.

This is my absolute favorite guided meditation. ❤️ It has helped me through so many difficult moments wherein I was feeling something I “shouldn't” be feeling. This is a gorgeous exercise in self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-love. 🙏🏽

Another gentle offering with great richness, thank you Kate. I hope you will receive it as a huge compliment that I find your meditations similar to Sarah Blondin’s but even more real, personal, pensive and pared back to what’s important. Very glad to have discovered you 🙏🏼💜🌿🦋
