Today,

On Wholehearted,

Freedom in the Unknown.

Everyone breathe,

Welcome.

We fear the unknown,

The uncertainty of our lives,

The not knowing,

The dark unknown.

The future has no guarantees,

And it can cause us to become small and fearful.

Notice the want to control,

To plan,

To tighten our chest and firm our grip around that which we want most.

We attempt to make certain and known,

That which fundamentally is unknowable.

How can we navigate when we cannot be certain?

How do we walk into what is unknown?

I invite you to carry love and trust into the unknown.

I invite you to choose freedom.

Close your eyes now.

Remember your breath.

Allow it to touch your chest.

You are loved.

Infinitely loved.

Unconditionally loved.

Did you know that you can be exactly as you are?

Come as you are.

You are safe,

Held,

Seen in your value,

Just as you are.

Notice any discomfort that you may feel,

Or pain that you may have felt from your past.

You are seen,

And you are loved,

And you are held such that you may feel healed.

Like a child,

Processing life's hurts with full freedom to feel and to let go.

And to keep playing into the unknown.

What if the unknown is the opportunity for your freedom?

What if the unknown is the wide open field of possibility where your answers lie,

Your grandest solutions lie in the way that is perfect for you?

What if the unknown is the place where all your awe and wonder reside?

What if the unknown holds all of the magic that you are looking for,

And more?

What if the unknown is your freedom?

What if the unknown is where freedom lives?

What if freedom calls you to itself?

To move with you.

To move in you.

And to move all around you.

It calls you to joy.

To surrender.

To grace.

Let the unknown be your strength.

Let the magic and majesty of all that is possible be your birthright.

Let mystery and wonder be your namesake.

And let freedom be your guide.

In all that is uncertain for you,

In all that is unsolved and unknown,

I invite you now to choose freedom.

Let freedom pick you up like a rising wave.

Let it guide you gently through the fields of your life.

Notice your breath.

Let it fill you.

Feel the cavity of your chest expand and release.

Let your breath be your access to freedom with every inhale and every exhale.

Notice any closed spaces and may your breath be a loving expansion,

Creating openness and ease.

What if your freedom lies not in the destination,

But the journey?

What if your freedom rings true in every moment you own your ability to choose it?

To choose life.

Love.

Your highest possibility.

Dear one,

Take a deep breath in.

As you exhale,

Let something go.

Release your shoulders.

Notice weight releasing.

Notice breath filling your lungs.

Notice energy moving through your body.

Notice your hands.

Notice any tingling.

Notice opportunity in each moment.

Imagine that your freedom calls to you because there is a version of you so alive,

Unencumbered,

Dancing,

Open to life and experiencing yourself as life.

You are freedom.

A version of you that moves with the power and grace of nature and unseen magic.

A version of you who understands that which is currently tugging at your heart.

Imagine that the unknown in your life is the place for your greatest joy to unfold.

The place for you to meet your own magnificence.

The fertile ground for which all that you've asked for to flourish and grow.

Imagine that opportunities and possibilities come to you out of the field of the unknown when you are open and available for them.

Imagine that there is a gift waiting for you in each moment.

The opportunity to choose the inner world that you cultivate.

The way that you hold yourself and your life.

This is your freedom.

Looking into the unknown,

Dear one,

I invite you to trust it.

Let the unknown be your friend in all its majesty and wholeness.

Let it be a safe place for you to offer up your wishes and the whispers of your heart.

Let the unknown surprise you,

Amaze you,

Hold you,

And carry you into your dreams.

Let the answers come to you in perfect timing.

Let the unknown be your breath of freedom.

May you move in your freedom with a trusting heart and a wholehearted love.

May you embrace this journey and the creative power you hold.

May you choose freedom.

A beautiful reframe of the unknown. If we can embrace it, partner with it, then allow it to become the field of possibilities, we no longer have to fear it. We can be curious and open to all the possibilities the Devine has for us.

That was beautiful and so on time! The fear that arises with uncertainty is usually rooted in the fear of my freedom being taken away in some way. I choose to lean into trust and surrender and by that I choose freedom!
