In the waters of the hippopotamus. Welcome, My dear friends. You've arrived. There is nothing you need to do here. This is your moment to soften. To return home to yourself. Let your breath move gently. Let the day fall away. Let your body settle into support. Today, We journey with the ancient spirit of the hippopotamus. A wise and quiet presence. A teacher of stillness. A reminder of the deep power that lives within you. Imagine a wide, Quiet river stretching before you. The light is golden. It's late afternoon. Everything is soft. Everything is slow. You step into the water. It's cool. Soothing. And grounding. And with each step, You feel yourself sinking deeper into peace. This river is your inner world. It knows you. It's held your tiredness. Your longings. Your hope. Your heartache. And still, It flows. In this river lives a significant presence. The hippopotamus. Alive. Resting. Listening. Not in a rush to do anything. Only to be here. Can you feel her? Hippo teaches us something we often forget. That rest is not weakness. That stillness is not laziness. That you are allowed to feel it all. And not fix any of it. Let her presence wash over you. She doesn't hide her bigness. She neither shrinks her body. To make others comfortable. Can you give yourself the same permission? Take up space with your truth. Take up space with your feelings. Take up space with your unique rhythm. Let your emotions rise and fall like water. There is no wrong way to feel here. Everything belongs. Perhaps there is grief. Perhaps there is tiredness. Perhaps you feel powerful today. Or soft and sensitive. Let it all float with you. Breathe softly. Allow the river to hold you. As if it's always been waiting for you to return. The hippo reminds you. You are not alone. You don't have to be loud to be strong. You don't have to fight to be heard. Your power lives in your stillness. In the way you choose to rest. In the way you feel deeply and rise slowly. You can trust your own timing. Let your breath move slowly through you. Nothing to fix. Nothing to force. Just being. With the depth of your own presence. Let this time help you remember. You are sacred. You are wise. You are allowed to rest before rising again. Feel the current of your inner water slowing even more. You've floated far. You've remembered much. Notice what has softened. What has been released. What has been revealed. The hippo begins to fade into the distance. Not gone, Just resting. Waiting within you whenever you need her again. You are not alone. You never were. Let her parting gift be this. You are enough when you rest. You are enough when you pause. You are enough even when you don't know the next step. Your inner knowing will return. It always does. Just take a moment to float in this beautiful river. And then begin to notice your breath again. Feel the ground beneath you. The room around you. The steadiness of your heartbeat. Carry this river with you. Let the wisdom of hippo guide your pace. Anchor your emotions. Take a moment to rest. And remind you, You are powerful. You are tender. And you are always allowed to come home to yourself. Thank you for being here. Thank you for choosing rest. Thank you for remembering your truth. And as always, Welcome back. And welcome home. Welcome home.

What a wonderful meditation! Such good reminders that it’s ok to rest and be still. To accept ourselves as we are and not try to be something we’re not so others can feel comfortable. Just beautiful Renee. Thank you so much. This is another keeper!💫🩷💫🩷🙏🙏
