Close your eyes and I invite you to become the observer of your thoughts,
Your mind chatter,
The sounds and the criticism and the demands that are all around you.
Acknowledge the expectations and the judgments from yourself and from others.
Bring your attention to how loud this noise is and how much it weighs upon you.
Turn it up as loud as you can bear until you acknowledge its impact upon you and your energy.
And if the tears come,
Let them flow.
Bring one hand to your heart and the other to your navel.
Use this simple gesture to turn your attention inwards and draw your energy in through your focus.
Shut out the noise and the clamor.
Feel the strength and energy emanating from within.
Hear your inner wisdom.
Know the essence of your soul and listen to the quietness.
Breathe deeply and feel your connection to the earth and the nourishment that the connection offers you.
Feel the serenity of coming back to you and to the quietness of knowing.
Set the intention to carry this strength of presence with you as you move through your day,
Connecting to the rhythm of your life from your core essence and holding it in your heart.
And when you're ready to continue with your day,
Breathe your being into presence in your space slowly,
Intentionally and with love for you.
