This is your daily reminder that you are so deeply loved.
Let's take a moment to remember that your body has been caring for you since the day you were born.
Every breath you've ever taken happened without you having to think about it.
Every cut or bruise you've ever had has worked its way toward healing.
Maybe not perfectly,
But it does every time.
Your body carries an intelligence that has always known how to move you through life.
Just like the rivers know how to flow,
The trees know how to grow,
The sun knows how to rise,
There is a wisdom within you that knows how to be here.
Even if you don't feel it.
You don't have to force it.
You don't have to earn it.
You don't even have to feel peaceful to trust that it's there.
So as we begin,
Know that there is nothing you need to fix,
Nothing you need to get right.
Let's take a slow breath together.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
One more time,
Breathing in.
And outs.
You may close your eyes,
Lower your gaze,
Or keep them open.
Imagine that you are standing by a quiet,
Calm flowing river.
The air smells clean and fresh.
You hear birds chirping.
The sun is shining.
And the breeze is just right.
As you watch the river flow by,
You see these leaves,
One by one,
With a different word on each of them.
One leaf says anxiety.
Another leaf says numb.
Another says excited.
And another leaf flowing by says the word nothing.
You don't have to jump into the river.
You don't have to stop the river.
You don't have to replace one leaf with another.
You simply notice,
That's what's passing through right now.
And it does.
It just flows on by in the river.
And as you see these leaves floating by,
Gently ask yourself,
What's here right now that I've been arguing with?
You might see this as a leaf that's stuck.
It's not quite flowing like the rest of them.
Go with the first word that pops up.
And sense what that feels like in your body.
For instance,
If the word that popped up.
Was fear.
How are you feeling that sensation in your body right now?
There's no right or wrong.
See if you can make just a little room for whatever is here.
Not because it feels good.
And not because you want it to stay.
Simply because it's already here.
If this feeling had a shape.
How would your body naturally want to move it?
No right or wrong.
Invite your body gently to move this feeling… the word that you saw on the leaf that feels more stuff than the others.
You could sway,
You could rock,
You could stretch.
You can make your body small and curl inward.
You could shake your arms or your hands.
Or maybe your hand just wants to simply rest over your heart.
There is no right or wrong movement.
Only your movement.
Follow this movement.
With curiosity.
Letting it unfold exactly how it wants to.
Remember your body's intelligence.
You don't have to think about it.
Because.
.
.
Already magically,
Naturally unfolding just right for you in this moment.
I'll leave a minute of space here for you to explore however your body wants to move or not move right now.
However you're moving right now.
Slowly,
Gradually,
Make your movements smaller,
Slower.
Until you eventually arrive in stillness.
Let's take one more breath here together.
Breathing in.
And hours.
Notice,
Has anything shifted?
Maybe yes,
Maybe not.
Both are welcome.
And remember.
You don't have to feel a certain way to be deeply connected to yourself.
You already are,
And you always have been.
Even when you can't feel it.
Let's do one more breath.
Breathing in.
At an ounce.
Feel your feet.
Feel the support beneath you.
And see if you can show yourself some appreciation for showing up here today.
Maybe it's a self-hug.
Self-holding.
Hand on heart,
Whatever comes to you.
Is right.
Because you showed up exactly as you are today.
And that is enough.
You are enough.
