Transcript

Welcome,

My beautiful friend,

To this midday reset,

A sacred pause to cleanse,

Clear,

Release,

And begin again.

Because this is another new beginning,

A new opportunity to slow down,

To come home to yourself,

And to move through the rest of today rooted in your truth,

Your calm center,

And the powerful being that you are.

May this space be a sacred and safe place where you can fully sink in and let go for the next few minutes.

Allow yourself to find your way to somewhere you can soften and relax.

Maybe lay down or find a gentle seat that feels comfortable,

Or maybe you arrive exactly where you are and trust that right where you are is exactly where you're meant to be.

And as you do,

I invite you to close your eyes,

To begin to enter your inner world,

To begin to reconnect with the divine essence and energy that is woven throughout your body and your being.

As you gently notice your breath,

Feeling the steady rise and fall of each inhale and every exhale,

Feeling the steady rhythm of expansion and contraction moving through you.

Imagine your breath like a wave,

Each inhale guiding you up the wave and each exhale guiding you over and down the wave,

And that gentle soft space in between each breath,

The space where you float,

Completely,

Utterly held.

Feel your belly expand as you breathe in through your nose,

And feel your belly contract as you exhale through your mouth,

Sighing it out,

Letting it go,

And then feeling that momentary pause where you are floating before the next breath begins.

With each breath,

My love,

Feel yourself drop more and more deeply into your body,

More and more deeply into your breath,

More and more deeply into the powerful presence of this moment,

Noticing,

Feeling,

Sensing all of the energy that has been stirred within you,

Activated,

Triggered as you have moved through the first half of your day,

Noticing the old energy and emotions that have been stirred up that are asking to be cleared,

Cleansed,

Gently held,

Acknowledged,

And then released.

Take a soft,

Gentle breath here as you simply notice that.

As you continue to breathe,

Feeling your body beginning to soften and relax more and more,

Imagine yourself standing in a sacred space,

A place,

My love,

That feels both ancient and safe,

A place that your soul remembers.

Look around,

Take in this place,

Feel the depth and familiarity of the energy and the space around you.

The air is thick with the scent of burning wood,

Sweet and earthy,

The soft sacred smoke of Palo Santo curling and weaving through the space around you.

And in the distance,

You begin to sense a presence,

A gentle,

Loving,

Divine spirit being approaches you,

A loving guardian of light and purification.

You may see them clearly or simply feel their loving energy near you.

They move with reverence and grace,

Carrying a bundle of slowly burning Palo Santo,

The smoke rising in soft spirals.

And without speaking,

They ask for your permission to support your energetic field and cleansing,

Clearing,

Releasing all that has been activated.

As you've moved through today.

And as you say yes,

Either out loud or in your heart,

They begin to smudge you,

Cleansing and clearing your energetic field with the deep,

Devoted reverence.

They start just above your head,

Moving the Palo Santo slowly in sacred circles,

Guiding the smoke through your energetic field.

With each swirl,

You feel layers of tension,

Noise and density begin to lift and clear.

The smoke moves gently down the back of your head,

Your neck,

Your shoulders,

Down your spine,

Feeling your entire body loosen,

Soften and relax.

All the way to the backs of your legs and your heels.

You feel the sacred smoke cleanse and clear as it goes,

Lifting what's heavy,

Softening what's tight,

Helping your whole back body relax and release,

Relax and release,

Relax and release.

And then slowly,

Reverently,

They step around to your front,

Bringing the same sacred energy with them.

They began again at the top of your head,

Moving the smoke down over your forehead,

Your eyes,

Your cheeks,

Your jaw.

As they guide the smoke over your chest,

You feel your heart space,

Soften,

Open and relax,

Soften,

Open and relax,

Soften,

Open and relax.

And then slowly,

Reverently,

They begin at the top of your head,

Bringing the same sacred smoke down through your eyes,

Down through your belly,

Your hips,

Your thighs,

Your knees,

Your shins and all the way down to your toes.

The smoke wraps you in the most gentle,

Nourishing embrace,

Clearing your field,

Preparing you for all that the rest of your day holds for you.

Every part of you is softening,

Surrendering,

Relaxing into this moment.

You feel clear,

Lighter,

Open,

Held in the sacred space with this loving spirit being here beside of you.

You feel ready to move through the rest of your day.

You feel ready for all that this day holds for you.

Take a moment to breathe here,

To be here.

And here in the sacred space,

Cleared,

Open,

Lighter,

More attuned to and connected to your soul self,

Set an intention for the rest of your day.

How do you intend to move through the rest of your day?

What do you intend to believe as you move through the rest of your day?

What do you open your heart to receive and to give as you move through the rest of your day?

As you name that intention,

My love,

Imagine releasing it now to the universe,

Letting go of it,

Not holding or clinging tightly to that intention,

Simply letting it go and trusting that life will guide and support you in the unfolding of it.

Now gently guide your awareness back to your breath.

Notice once again the steady rhythm of each inhale and exhale,

The expansion and contraction of your breath moving through your body.

Take a slow,

Gentle breath as you feel yourself fully attuned to your body and the space around you and this moment once more.

Feeling the energy,

The unfolding of this day that you've already been living,

That you now get to continue moving through with perhaps a little more intention and lightness and trust carrying you forward.

Be here for as long as you need,

And as you're ready,

Take a slow,

Gentle breath in through your nose and out through your mouth as you open your eyes and come back to yourself and your space.

You have returned to yourself,

My love.

Your energy has been cleared,

Your heart is now open,

And your spirit guide remains nearby in the unseen realms and dimensions of life,

Quietly supporting you.

As you re-enter the world and continue on with your day,

And as you return to your day,

Know that you carry this stillness,

This clarity,

And this connection with you.

Let it ripple gently into whatever comes next.
