For those who know that they may be causing themselves more pain and anxiety than they need to. So take a moment to arrive here, Settling your breath and your body. You might like to close your eyes to sense into your body your own energetic field. And allowing yourself to take a slow steady breath. Gently breathing in and out, Finding your own rhythm. Releasing any stress you might be holding on to as you come into this space. Perhaps already you can feel a subtle optimism of what you might release into today's practice. Already you might be feeling optimistic for what this might bring. Allowing your jaw to relax, To soften. Letting go of the weight of the world. Allowing your belly to rise and fall as you breathe. Continuing to breathe and just absorbing these words. Knowing that this is a space where all of you is welcome. The heaviness, The sensitivity, The overthinking and also the lightness, The hope, The joy. Remembering that you were never meant to live in just one emotional state. You're allowed a full spectrum and you're also allowed to return to light. Continuing to breathe and recognizing that maybe there were moments in your life where your brightness was misunderstood. Where being joyful, Imaginative or full of wonder was called too much. Maybe it was dismissed as unrealistic. I too know that pain. Maybe so long ago you learned to dim that part of yourself. Maybe you learned that it was a good thing to be more serious, More cautious, More like the world around you. Maybe you were taught that fear and worry and tension was sensible. Maybe that was the state you were told you should come back to. Maybe you were told that to be positive was in some way shameful. Giving yourself a moment of this to see what comes up for you and placing maybe a hand over your heart if any memories there come up. We were all joyful children once. And if in your upbringing you were around fear, Worry and cynicism, It can make that positivity feel unfamiliar and even unsafe. Allowing yourself as you breathe into your heart, Into your chest, Into your body, To see that this was never a flaw in you. It was something that you got good at adapting to. But perhaps you held a wisdom that the adults around you had forgot. How to feel joy, How to play, How to feel light. Maybe you feel sadness for them, But as you tap into this a validation for yourself. You do not need to be that adult too. You can hold that childlike wonder even as the adult you are. You are never silly, Wrong or incorrect. Breathing and bringing your awareness now to the center of your chest. Imagining if you can just for a moment that there's a small warm light there. Feeling into this light in the center of your chest, It's soft and steady. It feels warm. This light is yours and it has always been yours. So with each breath, Imagine that light beginning to grow a little brighter. It's not harsh or overwhelming, But it's natural warmth spreading throughout you. Moves from your chest to your shoulders. To your stomach, Your legs. It goes all the way down to your feet. A soft golden light filling you from the inside out. This is your natural state of being. It was when you were a child and you are allowed to feel it again. Letting yourself rest in this light as you absorb these affirmations. Relaxing and simply enjoying hearing them. I give myself permission to feel good. I am allowed to choose lightness even when I have known heaviness. It is safe for me to feel joy. My positivity is natural, Not naive. I do not need to dim my light to belong. I release the belief that I must stay in worry to stay safe. I am allowed to feel hopeful about my life. I trust that goodness can exist alongside uncertainty. I am not betraying anyone by feeling good. I am allowed to create a different emotional home within myself. My sensitivity is a strength, Not a weakness. My openness to joy is a gift. I honor the part of me that still believes in light. I am allowed to enjoy simple beautiful moments. I welcome ease into my body and mind. I do not need permission from others to feel good, But I give it to myself anyway. It is safe to listen to uplifting music to feel inspired and to feel alive. I am allowed to follow what feels warm, Expansive and true. I trust my natural pull towards light. I am reconnecting with the part of me that feels free. I can hold depth and lightness at the same time. I am grounded even when I feel joyful. I am balanced even when I choose positivity. I release shame around feeling good. I am allowed to feel at home in joy. It is safe for me to be seen in my light. I do not need to justify my happiness. I am allowed to feel good for no reason at all. My energy can be soft, Bright and open. I am returning to my natural state of being. I choose thoughts that support me and uplift me. I welcome peace into this moment. I am safe to soften. I am safe to open. I am safe to feel good. So giving yourself a few more moments here, Just noticing how those words felt in your body. I wonder if you've been craving hearing this or whether you didn't even realize you needed to hear this. I wonder how your body feels after hearing those affirmations. So gently, Gently just bringing your attention back to your body. Maybe giving your feet, Your fingers, Your toes a wiggle. Awaking the body back up if it's felt super relaxed. Blinking your eyes open if your eyes were closed. I really hope that that has filled you with inspiration that you are allowed to feel this way. You are allowed to feel every emotion and we're supposed to. But maybe we've been more conditioned than we realize by adults, Especially when we were younger. That somehow positivity is bad. Being childlike is bad. I'm Scarlet and I'm sending you so much love, Positivity and light. You can come back to this whenever you need this inspiration.
