This audio track with music begins with an original poem titled "Like A Pearl Formed In The Belly of An Oyster" that talks about trusting the process and creating harmony in your nervous system. I then recite affirmations I created based on this poem that explores releasing limiting thoughts and beliefs and coming back into the body and into the present moment. I encourage you to listen to this on repeat for a reminder that you are so much more than your thoughts, your hard days, or your fear. The music was purchased from Audio Jungle and is titled "Theta Binaural Meditation Music."

Like a pearl formed in the belly of an oyster,

You are not broken.

This ache is meant to take you to depths you once thought were too bleak,

Too dangerous,

Too close to the center of everything and nothing,

Only for you to come out alive and untouched by shame.

Rest your weary bones.

Lay them at the mouth of the fireplace,

In the arms of your lover,

At the feet of some loving creator.

Let comfort and ease cloak your shoulders.

Let gentleness guide the compass of your heartbeat.

Your nervous system is a student relearning what harmony looks like.

You deserve more than survival.

You always have.

You will emerge transformed,

Lustrous,

More yourself than ever before.

Now it is time to trust.

I rest into the dependable care of the present moment.

I release all that keeps me stuck,

Limited,

And disempowered.

I am safe.

I call back my power and my energy from all people,

Places,

And situations that keep me small.

Everything is working out for me on behalf of my highest and greatest good.

I am learning how to be gentle with myself.

I remember that I am not my thoughts,

Even when my fear tries to tell me otherwise.

I remember that my mind's job is to think,

And that I have the ability to reroute my thoughts when I need to.

I remember to connect with the part of me that is the compassionate witness,

The one standing at the bank of the river,

Watching my thoughts and experiences travel across the surface.

I soothe my nervous system and release perfectionism.

I let comfort and ease cloak my shoulders.

I massage compassion into every muscle of my body.

I lay my worries at the feet of my loving creator.

I trust myself and this process,

Knowing I do not have to rush.

I have everything I need within me to live in peace,

Presence,

And harmony.

I trust that any conflict I encounter,

Whether internal or external,

Is helping me along the path of my purpose.

I create space for my feelings to come and go.

I hold life with an open palm,

And I am open to all its magic and miracles.

I wear life like a loose-fitting garment,

Dancing in the wind.
