Welcome.

My name is Natalie and I am so happy and honored you are here today.

Take a moment to settle into your space.

Wherever you are,

However you decide to show up today.

You could decide to sit down or lie down.

Take a moment to feel the surface beneath you.

The support it provides.

Allow your eyes to close.

Now take a gentle breath in through your nose.

And exhale out through your mouth.

Once more inhaling through the nose,

Feeling the air entering your nostrils.

Filling up your chest and belly with air.

And exhale everything out and let your shoulders soften.

Continue to breathe like this.

And feel how with every exhale you're letting go.

And you're settling into a relaxed body with every breath.

And today we connect with soft power.

Our inner strength that arises not from force but from gentleness.

From presence and awareness.

And continue to breathe slowly through your nose.

Letting your chest and belly rise.

And exhale softly through your mouth.

Releasing tension.

Feel the prana,

The life energy,

Circulating with every breath.

Now move your awareness to your heart center.

Visualize a warm golden light radiating softly here in your heart center.

Now bring your attention to your hands.

Feel their warmth.

Feel their energy.

And imagine each fingertip radiating golden light.

First to yourself.

And then extending outward.

Soft power is about presence over force.

Visualize responding to life challenges with calm and clarity.

Feeling strength in gentleness.

Now repeat silently or out loud.

I am strong in my gentleness.

I am strong in my gentleness.

I move through life with awareness and compassion.

I move through life with awareness and compassion.

Soft power guides my actions.

Soft power guides my actions.

Now take a few deep breaths.

And now start wiggling your fingers and your toes.

Bringing your awareness back.

Into your body.

And gently open your eyes when you're ready.

You can return to this meditation anytime to reconnect with your inner strength.

This meditation is like your personal sanctuary of calming energy.

Until the next time.

Namaste.
