Hi love,

I'm so glad you're here.

Whether you're listening on a quiet walk,

Tucked in a bathroom,

Sitting in a car or lying in bed,

Wherever you are,

This moment is yours.

There's no right way to be here,

Only your way.

Let's take a breath together.

In through the nose,

And out through the mouth with a soft sigh.

Again,

Just like that,

Let yourself arrive just as you are.

Today's invitation is simple but deep.

You have permission to cry.

Not because it will fix anything,

Not because it makes you strong,

But because your body,

Your soul might need that release.

Tears are wise,

They speak when words can't.

They rise when something true wants to be felt.

Maybe you're not sure why the tears are close.

Maybe you've been holding them back for days,

Or years,

Or maybe they've already begun to fall.

Whatever is true,

Let it be.

You don't need to analyze it or narrate it.

Just notice what is present in you now.

Let your breath move softly.

Let your jaw loosen.

Let your chest be however it is,

Tight,

Open.

If tears come,

Welcome them like an honored guest.

If they don't,

Trust that the invitation has still been heard.

Your system is wise.

Your body knows the timing.

There is no shame in needing to cry.

There is no weakness in your tenderness.

You are allowed to feel,

To release,

To unravel and not have all the pieces picked up yet.

Now,

If it feels okay,

Place a hand over your chest or your cheek,

A gentle anchor.

A reminder that you are here and you are safe to feel.

Let's end with an affirmation,

Spoken softly or just felt inside.

My tears are sacred.

I trust the truth they carry.

I give myself permission to cry.

Breathe again.

Rest again.

And let this softness follow you wherever you go next.

You don't have to hold it all alone.
