You're listening to the Motherhood Unstressed podcast and I'm your host Liz Carlisle.
Thank you so much for taking the time for yourself today,
For pressing play.
Getting still.
Coming home into your body.
Rest your nervous system and restore it.
To feel grounded and calm.
Back to center.
And most importantly,
To remember who you really are.
Find a comfortable position if you haven't already.
You can lie down or do this seated.
Begin to focus on your breathing.
Let's take a deep breath in together through the nose.
Home.
And let it go.
Hold.
Deep breath in.
Home.
And let it go.
Deep breath in Let it go.
Last one together,
Deep breath in.
Take one more sip of breath.
Maybe one more?
No.
And let it all go.
Let everything go.
Let your shoulders drop away from your ears.
Unclench your jaw.
You can release the tongue from the roof of your mouth.
And now with every breath you take,
I want you to visualize yourself relaxing further and further into the ground.
Every breath.
Cleansing wave of energy.
That gets into every cell,
Removing any toxicity,
Bringing new life,
New energy.
Necessary oxygen.
While simultaneously releasing.
Stagnant,
Stuck.
Dying energy.
Things you might have been holding on to.
That your body knows you don't need.
Keep breathing.
Let any emotions that arise during this meditation just wash over you.
Notice the thoughts and the emotions.
Watch them.
As if you were an outsider watching you.
And let them go like clouds in the sky.
Over and over again with every breath I want you to notice the quiet around you right now.
The stillness.
You might have been moving all day.
Thinking,
Doing,
Giving.
Right now,
None of that is required of you.
In this moment.
You're completely free.
With every breath,
Continue to relax your body.
Feel your body settling like sand,
Slowly sinking to the bottom of still water.
Settling.
And settling a little more There's nowhere to be.
There's nothing to hold.
There's just this moment and my voice low and close.
If your mind feels busy that's okay Thoughts can pass by like clouds Remember to notice them Observe them.
You're safe right now.
Right here,
In this exact moment.
There's nothing you need to solve.
Let your exhale get a little slower each time.
Softer.
Quieter.
From your heart.
And love throughout your entire body.
Notice the sensation of blood flowing.
From your heart outward.
Feel your heart beating.
Get a sense of your energetic field.
As you push out love from your heart chakra throughout every cell in your body.
I want you to let your whole body grow heavy.
Heavy like you're sinking into the mattress or the floor.
Deep down into the quiet.
Don't fight this heaviness.
It's not tiredness.
Its release.
I give you permission to let go.
Completely.
Drift off to sleep from here.
That's exactly where this is meant to take you.
Don't fight it.
If you're still with me.
Softly,
In your mind,
Repeat after me.
I am allowed to rest.
I don't have to earn peace.
I am doing.
And love.
I am.
I am.
Healthy.
I am the light.
In the world for others.
I am.
Let these words settle into you the way your body is settled into the bed.
Chanto true.
Remember.
That you came from light.
Our light.
And underneath all this softness.
There's something steady in you,
Too.
A quiet strength.
That doesn't need to be allowed to be real.
Repeat with me.
Quietly.
I am capable.
I am studying.
I am whole exactly as I am.
Let that certainty rest right alongside the calm you feel in your body right now.
They can live in you at the same time.
Softness and strength.
Take one more slow breath in and let it out completely.
You can stay right here drifting for as long as you need I'll leave you now in the quiet in the sea of love.
And inner knowing that you just created throughout your entire body,
Healing it from the inside out.
Refreshing aging.
Reversing toxicity.
Renewing in every sense of the word.
Sleep well.
I'll see you next time.
