Hello and welcome to this meditation in which we will set an intention to create healthy relationships. I'm really honored to have your presence and this opportunity to guide you. So let's begin. Get into a very comfortable position now and make sure you will not be disturbed. Give yourself the time to breathe and be your very best. For most of us we go entire days without even thinking about our breath, Yet it is the very thing that keeps us alive. Your breath has been there for you since the beginning of time, Fitting to each moment exactly as it needs. The breath never asks questions and it never judges you. It simply does what is required instantaneously. So let's honor our breath now and all that it gives us by taking five significant and purposeful breaths. 1. Fully inhale, Expanding your belly and chest as much as you can, Holding it for a moment and exhale, Feeling a wave of relaxation sweep over you. 2. Inhale, Filling your entire breathing system with fresh oxygen and hold it and now exhale, Noticing again that wave of relaxation gently sweeping over you. 3. Inhale very deeply so that you are brimming with air. Taking a moment at the top to soak in the life force we call oxygen and exhale, Noticing your body relaxing in different areas without any effort from you. 4. Fully inhale the life force, Beginning to feel these breaths purifying your entire body and exhale now, Not having to do anything at all, Just notice how you're feeling. 5. Last one, A full beautiful breath coming in, Holding it, Feeling the goodness of this simple task and exhale, Allowing that wave of relaxation to sweep again over you. Just take note of how you're feeling in this very moment. You now have an abundance of oxygen and this is how we were truly created to feel. Breathing deeply and fully is an expression of self-compassion, So let your breath be natural now and notice how abundance feels. Good work. This is your new tool that you use when faced with feelings of blockages or worries. You immediately pause and take 5 deep, Purposeful and powerful breaths that allow you to relax. Taking these conscious and dedicated breaths make it even difficult for you to be unbalanced. So next time you catch yourself at a standstill, You must take these 5 healing breaths. Good work. Now let's ease into a state of complete relaxation, Opening the subconscious mind, Allowing for any changes to take place. And begin to slowly blink your eyes and with each number, And with each number, Blink once. Zero. Allow your eyes to gently close and when you do this, You feel a wave of relaxation sweep over you. Now just become aware of your body and feel the space around you. Notice how the space around you hugs to your shape. Notice the feeling of your weight pressing down and see if you can feel the earth below you as if it's pressing up supporting you. Good work. Now become aware of the very top of your head and put all of your focus there, Noticing any sensations you have there. And now moving focus onto your eyes and feel how they feel and notice tiny movements they are making. And these movements relax you even further. And notice now your nose and feel the air passing through as you breathe in and out. Notice now your mouth and take your awareness down your neck and if you notice any tension, Just ask it to release. Notice the sensations your body is making that make you feel very relaxed and comfortable. And become aware of your chest and lungs expanding and contracting with your breath. Perhaps you can feel your heart beating, Pumping with love. And now send your focus down your arms all the way to each fingertip, Feeling the sensations of touch in your fingertips. And your focus now is on your abdomen and all of your vital organs. And just notice how your belly feels and how it's digesting. Notice your pelvis and hips and the sensations of your weight pressing down. This takes you deeper into a state of relaxation. And your awareness goes down each leg over your knees and down all the way to your feet and to each toe. Notice how completely relaxed your entire body feels right now. Good work. You now have become aware of every part of your body and this is meditative. And I'm going to tell you something very important and you will deeply hear the words that I have to say to you and they will affect your life for the better. You're completely aware at every level of your mind and even though your body may feel asleep, These things I'm going to tell you change your life for the better way. Here are some basics in cultivating balanced and healthy relationships. It's important to care about others but you must be cared for as well. Others appreciate you when you are completely honest with them and others appreciate you when you are completely honest with yourself by taking care of your own needs. It is healthy and important to not extend yourself too far in any circumstance. You feel completely free to let others handle what they need to take care of, Concentrating on the tasks you need to complete. Your business requires a lot of social interaction in many ways. You have an excellent understanding of how to manage your time, Perfectly fitting in to every day all that you need to accomplish. You take care of your business priorities first without getting distracted by other tasks. It's easy for you to talk to hundreds of people in a single day, Making you feel good while doing so. Each person you speak with is an achievement. Your business thrives when you tend to each person with clarity one by one. Notice how you're feeling and now hear yourself saying, I go to bed early and with ease so that when I rise I'm well rested and ready for my morning run through nature. I have found myself again by expressing my needs honestly with my loved ones, Taking on only as much as I can handle. I never feel inconvenienced by family and friends because I set firm boundaries with what I allow myself to take on. In my business ventures, Helping others succeed is crucial for my success. I do this easily and with confidence. I see clearly the tasks I need to complete and I do so efficiently and effortlessly. Others admire me because I exude integrity because I'm honest with my words and inner feelings. I'm welcomed on social media sites and I exude confidence when communicating regarding business. Others value me because I greatly value myself. I am consistent and professional, Sticking to plans that I create. I feel completely free to kindly say no when someone asks too much of me. Even though I feel tempted to eat breads and sugar, I choose healthy foods instead and my body always thanks me for this choice. When I have free time, I research healthy foods to eat and which foods to avoid. Balancing family and business is very important to me so I always take care of my needs first, Creating a wave of harmony. In order to change all that I desire, I simply practice new techniques that build healthy habits every single day without skipping a day. Now notice how you feel. Good work! You did such a great job today. So let's come back to wakeful awareness, Bringing back all that you have learned today. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, And 10. Now you are fully awake. Thank you and great job today.
