Welcome to your practice today.
This is your moment to soften.
To release.
And to make space for the new.
Find a position that feels completely comfortable.
You may be seated with your feet grounded on the floor.
Or lying down.
With your body fully supported.
Gently close your eyes and take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose.
And let it go with a long,
Slow exhale through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale deeply.
Feeling the air expand your chest and belly.
Hold it there.
Keep holding it.
And now exhale.
Letting go of any stress attention.
With each breath.
You arrive a little more fully here.
In this very moment.
Nothing to do.
Nowhere to call.
Just this sacred pause for yourself.
Let's now allow the body and mind to shift together.
Breathing in.
.
.
One.
To And three.
Breathing out now.
For five 4,
3,
2,
1 and one.
Feel your breath.
Slowing naturally.
Feel your body responding.
Your heart rate softening.
And your muscles.
Loosening.
You are gently moving out.
Of the busy.
Brainwaves where thoughts race and the mind is on constant alert.
Into a slower.
.
.
Quieter.
More peaceful.
State of mind.
Where creativity Healing.
And presence.
Naturally flow.
Each and every exhale is a doorway And each inhale is a fresh new beginning.
Now let's scan through your body.
Inviting every part of you to now relax completely.
Begin at the very top of your head.
Imagine a soft golden light.
Touching your scalp.
It moves across your forehead.
Soothing every line.
Your eyebrows release.
Your eyes sink softly into their sockets.
The light now flows down your cheeks,
Jaw,
And neck.
Your shoulders soften.
As if they've been carrying too much.
For too long.
They now know.
That they can rest.
This light travels down your arms,
Your hands,
Your fingers,
Your palms open.
Across your chest,
Down your spine.
Your belly softens.
Your hips and thighs let go of any gripping.
Your knees,
Calves,
Ankles.
All the way to the very tip of your toes.
Soft,
Grounded and at ease.
Feel as your whole body.
Is now a calm,
Open space.
A safe container.
For what we're about to release.
Now bring your attention gently inward.
There may be an old story or belief.
You've carried for way too long.
Perhaps it tells you,
You're not enough.
All that you must always work harder.
Or maybe.
.
.
That you can't trust.
Or that you'll never.
Be fully safe.
Let this belief our old story.
Come to mind.
There's no need to force it.
Simply notice what comes up.
Naturally.
Whatever comes up.
No.
That it is ready.
To be released today.
See if you can give the story.
A shape or image.
In your mind.
Maybe it's a heavy stone?
A tight,
Tangled rope?
Or don't.
Rusty page in an old book.
Hold it in your awareness.
Not to judge it.
But to thank Him.
For whatever role.
It played in your journey this far.
Even if it caused you pain.
It may have once tried to protect you.
Now imagine you are standing next to a gentle flowing river.
The air is soft and pleasant.
The sound of water soothes you.
The sunlight dances on the ripples in the water.
In your hands.
You hold the shape or image of your old story or belief.
It feels heavy.
But you know it's not truly part of who you are.
It's simply something that you once carried.
But it is not your truth.
So take a deep breath in now.
And as you exhale,
Please this ship.
Gently into the river.
And watch as the current flows.
Carries it away.
Further and further.
Until it's just a small dot in the distance.
And then finally It's gone.
Feel your body becoming lighter.
Your heart opening.
Your mind clear and spacious.
In its place.
Imagine a new world.
Incredible light and energy.
The energy of truth.
Of freedom.
And of possibility.
Let it spread through your chest.
Through your arms,
Your legs.
Your entire being.
Knowing that this is now.
Your new reality.
Free from the weight.
Of that old,
Unnecessary belief.
Notice how your body feels now.
The beautiful space you have created.
The ease in your chest,
The calmness in your mind.
Carry this lightness with you into the rest of your day.
Knowing that you can return.
To this river.
At any time you need.
And let go.
Of something.
Once again.
When you are ready.
You can take.
A few final touches.
Beautiful deep breaths.
And as you do that You can start bringing your fairness back to the space.
This moment in time.
Wiggling your fingers and toes Gently opening your eyes.
Knowing that you are here.
You are free.
And you are whole.
