Hello.
Welcome.
I invite you to take a moment.
To settle into your body.
Is exactly as you are right now.
Just relax.
There's nowhere to get to.
Nothing to force.
Nothing to figure out.
Just this moment.
And your breath.
And so I invite you.
To relax.
Now notice your inhale.
And notice your exhale.
Without changing anything,
Just simply observing.
Before we ever took our first breath on our own.
We were carried.
By her mother's breath.
We were held within her body.
Nourish.
Carried by life itself.
And then one day.
Our first inhale.
Birth.
And someday.
Our last exhale.
And in between those two moments.
This human experience unfolds.
We know we are worthy of life because we still have breath.
Right now.
Breath is here.
Life is here.
Breathe.
Be here.
The space between our first inhale and our last exhale.
Is what I call the in-between.
It's not a straight line.
It's not something rigid or fixed.
But a living,
Changing space.
Filled with possibility.
The present moment.
In this moment.
So much of life pulls our attention away from what is here.
Parts.
Memories.
Fears.
Planning,
Conditioning,
Old patterns.
And yet.
.
.
Breath brings us back.
To this moment.
Again and again.
As we move through life.
We place our energy somewhere,
Consciously or unconsciously.
And what we repeatedly focused on.
Shaped our experiences.
Sometimes we move through life with awareness.
Connected and present.
And able to respond with love.
And sometimes we move through life.
From distraction.
Confusion.
Overwhelmed.
Or old protective patterns that we learned a long time ago.
It's not because we're bad.
It's not because something is wrong with us.
It's because we are humans.
Awareness of the present moment.
Gently shines light on those patterns.
Not to shame them.
But to understand them.
Now take a breath in.
And as you exhale,
Allow your body to just soften a little more.
Notice what is present in you right now.
Your thoughts,
Your emotions,
Sensations in your body.
No judgment.
Only observation.
Loving awareness.
And compassionate.
Curiosity.
You do not need to fix yourself in this moment.
You do not need to become someone else.
You are simply invited.
To notice.
To witness.
To be here with yourself,
Honestly.
With love.
The present moment holds information.
Reliable information.
Your body communicates.
Your emotions communicate.
Your mind communicates.
And underneath it all.
Your breath continues.
Steady.
Present.
Always bringing you back.
To now.
Right now,
Ask yourself gently,
What is this moment asking me to notice?
And then simply listen.
No forcing,
No searching,
No listening.
Just notice.
Now take a deeper inhale.
And a slow exhale.
You are here.
Breathing.
Livian?
Participating in this human experience.
And that alone is enough.
We know we are worthy of life.
Because we still have breath.
We know we are worthy of life.
Because we still have breath.
As you move into the rest of your day.
I invite you to meet yourself.
With loving awareness.
And compassionate curiosity.
And present.
And when life pulls you away.
Give me your breath.
Gently guide you home.
I invite you now to just slowly begin to returning your awareness to the room around you.
Move your body a little bit,
Wiggle your toes.
And gently arrive.
With your eyes open in your present moment.
Peace.
