Today we choose to take this time to turn inward,
Away from the outer edges of this spinning world.
Just for a few moments,
Let's close off that external stimuli,
That incessant influx of information,
Of opinions,
Of decisions,
Of worry.
Let's say no,
Not now.
This is my space to come home.
I invite you to drop down inside yourself,
To a hidden reservoir of still waters.
Let the ripples settle.
Breathe deeply and slowly.
Watch the stillness arise.
Settle in.
Arrive.
Notice yourself in this space.
Notice thoughts that come and go.
They arise,
But they move on.
Give a little distance to those thoughts.
They are separate from you.
We give them too much power.
Notice yourself behind those thoughts,
As the awareness behind the thinking.
Notice sensations in the body.
This body that you get to occupy for this lifetime.
Adjust if you need to.
Honor what you need.
Draw in a long inhale,
Sipping in a little extra breath.
Feel the release on the exhale.
Feel a grounding,
A heaviness.
Let the gravity wash over you and hold you.
What is this unusual stillness?
Pure,
Profound simplicity.
Be with the presence of your very self.
Can you find the you here?
Reach down,
Connect.
Remember.
Feel the essence of the you,
Without judgment or opinion.
How about saying hello?
Hey,
There you are.
Guess I got a little busy.
Kind of forgot you for a while.
I am here now.
Here at home within.
I am always here actually.
To know what is best.
What is okay.
What is fair.
What I'm going to do next.
Here at home,
Deep within,
I do know.
I have my back.
Breathe long and slow into this knowing.
Step out of the ancient conditioning of chatter and doing.
And into this state of awareness and observance.
Without the thinking.
Breathe and let be what is.
Bring your arms in to hold opposite elbows.
Wrapping yourself in a gentle hug.
Hold yourself close.
Hold yourself dear.
With regard.
And with appreciation.
Say softly,
Hey,
I honor you.
I thank you.
Can you add a gentle sway?
Nurturing the goodness here.
All the nourishment is here in this moment.
Can you take it in?
Let's acknowledge today this connection to life force.
This life force was there when you were a child.
Before it got layered with roles,
Identifications,
Ego.
I offer a promise here of unwavering love and commitment to remember this.
This sacred resource within.
It is real.
It is powerful.
And it's yours to use.
To call upon whenever you need.
Whenever you need to feel safe and loved.
Come here.
Be held.
Be safe.
Yes,
I promise today.
To visit often.
To check in and not forget.
There is a vertical alignment here within.
Where grace and vitality live.
Connection to life force.
So much more than just the horizontal plane of daily life.
Yes,
I promise today to come home to my grandest resource.
Myself.
My friend.
Come home.
Come home.
