Hello,
My name is Courtney.
I am also known as Self Care Creature and today we are going to do an affirmation meditation about embracing the reality of life's unpredictability while honoring the trust in the great mystery of life.
I invite you to take a seat.
Of course,
You can lay down or be standing.
Find a little wiggle,
Just shake it out for a second.
Snap your fingers,
Clap your hands,
Roll your shoulders.
And begin to settle in with some deep breaths.
Release the jaw,
Let the tongue find its neutral space in the mouth.
Maybe gently feel the belly expand with an inhale.
And that gentle release through the exhale.
Take what resonates.
Leave the rest if something is particularly prickly.
Invitation to bring pen to paper and go a little deeper.
I trust that even in chaos,
There is wisdom unfolding.
I cannot always see the path ahead,
But I can and do take the next step anyway.
Life will challenge me,
Because that is life after all.
But I will meet it with my presence and I will meet it with my resiliency that I continue to build.
The unknown is not always easy,
But I choose to walk forward with an open heart.
I know and accept that uncertainty is part of the journey.
It is not something to fear.
Therefore I lean into my fear so that I may transmute it and accept that uncertainty is part of the journey.
Not everything will go my way,
For it cannot after all.
And still I will find my way,
Because I have after all.
I don't have to understand everything right now to know that I am growing.
Even in my misunderstandings and my not understandings,
I know that I am growing and I am figuring it out.
I release the need to force outcomes,
And instead I engage fully with what is.
I trust that life will shape me,
And I know that even when it's uncomfortable and unclear that I am being shaped,
I am shaping,
I am growing,
I am moving into bigger,
Different,
Better directions for myself and my life.
I know that life in this great unknown and the great mystery does not promise ease.
It does not promise,
But it does offer depth.
It offers meaning,
And it offers a journey of transformation if we so choose to embark on that,
In whatever meaning that may have to you.
Breathe here,
Moving through trust,
Knowing there will be challenges,
Breathing into the great unknown,
Finding acceptance in that space,
Knowing that not everything is great,
It's not rainbows and butterflies all the time,
And still you find your way,
Breathing into understanding,
Breathing into release and ungrasping,
Taking another breath for that trust in the great mystery and the great unknown.
Know that you are here,
Doing the best you can with the tools you have and the things you know in this moment,
And even this is very important.
Thank you for showing up today for yourself.
The world needs more people taking care of themselves.
I'm wishing you well out there.
