Hi Love,

I'm Teresa and welcome to part 4 of the Permission to Expand series.

This practice is for those who are ready to grow,

But only in ways that feel gentle,

Truthful and sustainable.

Let's begin.

Take a moment to settle into your seat or your bed.

Let your body find the position that feels most like ease.

Take a slow breath in and exhale fully.

Imagine that the year ahead is not something you have to push your way into.

Imagine that expansion is not something you force,

But something you allow.

Picture your energy like a gentle river,

Gaining strength not from strain,

But from flow.

Feel the water in your body,

Its tides,

Its currents,

Its natural intelligence.

You are not meant to hustle your way into your next chapter.

You are meant to soften your way into it.

Breathe into your heart space and whisper,

I expand through ease.

Again,

I grow in ways that feel good.

Feel how your belly relaxes when you say this.

Feel the unburdening.

You do not need pressure to evolve.

You do not need urgency to be worthy.

You do not need to earn rest or softness.

Your brilliance rises when your nervous system feels safe.

Inhale gently and with the exhale,

Imagine releasing the old identity that only knows how to push.

Let the breath carry away competition,

Survival mode,

Proving,

Overworking.

Breathe into the space that opens and whisper,

I expand at the speed of my own safety.

This is your pace.

Your body will not lead you wrong.

Let this truth settle into your bones,

Into your breath,

Into your year ahead.

You,

My love,

Are expanding,

And it doesn't require a single ounce of hustle.

Thank you for being here.

This is part four of the Permission to Expand series.

And when you're ready,

Join me for the final core meditation,

Becoming the One Who Chooses Themself.

I'll meet you there.

And remember as always,

You are loved.

You are whole.

You are enough.
