To be present in the world takes courage. It also takes softness. We are not here to impose our presence on the world, but to grace the world with it. To be grace is to be unwaveringly strong in your sense of self yet able to move with the flow of life around you.

Every energy center in your body is a different aspect of your nature.

The balance and harmony of oneness gives you dimension,

Depth,

Capacity and capability.

There is always a dialogue at play between the different energy centers.

When your sacral is communicating with your throat,

For example,

Then your creative expression flows effortlessly.

To be present in the world takes courage.

It also takes softness.

We are not here to impose our presence on the world,

But to grace the world with it.

To stand out or be appreciated for who you are is hard when there is so much noise in the world.

It may seem that you have to get louder to be heard,

But this is just the path to more noise and less connection.

It is in the gentleness of a whisper that your presence is most felt.

You are you.

That depth of soul and essence is strength that is unyielding and rooted.

It's not a rigid strength,

It flows and moves.

There is a softness that we can cultivate to find more strength and resilience when the storms come and we feel as though we may be swept away.

Settle into a comfortable position and close your eyes.

Bring your awareness to your breath.

Breathe slowly and deeply,

Flowing the energy of your inhale through your body,

Activating your cells.

Come to stillness and take yourself to a space in your imagination where you feel calm and safe.

Take in all the detail.

Feel the space in your senses.

And feel your connection to the earth beneath you.

Feel the energy moving up through you,

Anchoring you and holding you.

It gives you strength and courage to go deeper into yourself.

Bring your hand to your heart and allow the breath to flow into your heart space.

Feel the energy expand to flow from your heart out into your body and fill the space that you are in.

Bring your other hand to your abdomen and place it over your solar plexus.

Allow the breath to flow into this space and feel the energy expand to flow through your body and to fill the space around you.

You feel how different the energies are,

But you also feel how much they are part of you.

Bring your attention to the energy from your solar plexus and see it flow from your solar plexus up to your heart.

As it flows into your heart space,

Watch it bring a new dimension to the energy.

Bring your attention to your solar plexus and draw the energy from there into your heart space.

As it flows into your heart space,

Watch it bring a new dimension to that energy.

And now bring your attention to your heart energy,

Draw it down into your solar plexus and see how it changes that energy.

Allowing the two energies to combine and fill your body.

Allow this energy to rise up through your body and move out of your crown.

It will then cascade around you and envelop you.

As it reaches your root,

It flows up through your body and back to your heart.

Keep the flow going,

Building more strength and more softness in your field.

Feeling the harmony of the balance of strength,

Courage,

Love,

Compassion and gentleness.

This is unyielding softness.

Stay with this energy for a moment or two.

And slowly begin to breathe this awareness of the energy into your cells,

Anchoring the sensation and the knowing into your being.

Empowering yourself to bring these qualities into your day.

Begin to breathe gentle movement into your body,

Following your impulses.

And when you are ready,

Open your eyes.
