Let your nervous system feel that there is nothing to perform,
Nothing to fix,
Nothing to fear,
We are simply going to notice.
There are parts of you that were tucked away,
Not because they were wrong,
But because they weren't safe to be seen.
These are not bad parts,
They are hidden parts,
Tender parts,
Parts that learn to stay quiet to keep you loved.
Today,
We will meet them with love.
Take a breath and imagine opening a window inside yourself,
Just a little,
Not to flood the room with light just enough to see what arises here,
A feeling,
A memory,
A part of you that has been longing for your own gaze.
You don't need to understand it,
You don't need to change it,
You don't need to have answers,
You only need to witness,
To allow,
To accept and offer love.
You might whisper,
I see you,
You are welcome here,
You don't need to hide anymore.
Let this be the beginning of a new relationship,
One where all of you is allowed to exist,
Where nothing is exiled,
Where even the shadows are held in light.
And as we close,
Return gently to your breath,
Let your body know we did something brave,
You brought compassion into a place that once felt dark.
You can return here whenever you choose,
And you can carry this truth into your day,
I welcome what was hidden,
Even this is worthy of love.
And as always remember,
You are loved,
You are enough,
You are whole.
