This is your time and your space to reconnect with the deep truth of who you are,

A radiant,

Resilient being worthy of love,

Health,

And peace.

Welcome to the Mindful Movement.

I'm Sarah Raymond.

I invite you to make yourself comfortable.

Let your body begin to settle now,

Just as it is.

You do not need to follow every word.

If your conscious listening awareness begins to drift and your body begins to rest more deeply than your mind can follow,

That too is healing.

All of you is welcome here.

Your thoughts,

Your feelings,

Your strength.

Allow yourself to be held.

Feel the surface beneath you gently supporting your body.

With each breath,

Sense yourself softening into this support.

The ground beneath you is steady,

Safe,

And unwavering.

And you are completely safe to let go.

Take a long,

Slow breath in and breathe out with a gentle sigh.

Again,

Inhale,

Sensing space begin to open in your body.

And exhale with a soft sigh as if your breath itself is saying,

You are safe now.

You are home.

With every breath,

You are sending a signal to your nervous system that it is safe to rest.

It is safe to receive.

You are allowed to feel supported.

You are allowed to take up space.

You are allowed to heal.

Now gently bring your awareness to your physical body.

Noticing the sensations of presence,

The temperature of the air on your skin,

The subtle movements of breath in your chest and belly.

Without changing anything,

Observe what is already happening.

Perhaps there are places of ease and comfort.

Perhaps there are places of tension.

All are allowed.

All are seen.

And as you rest here,

Offer yourself this remembering.

You are whole.

You are sacred.

You are worthy of love.

You are worthy of care.

You are worthy of a healthy,

Vibrant,

And successful life.

Let these truths settle in as memories returning.

Health is not a destination.

It is a homecoming.

And you are already on your way.

Now that your body is beginning to settle and your breath has become soft and steady,

I invite you to deepen your awareness through the sensations of your body.

Listen gently with presence and care.

This is an act of devotion,

Of self-trust,

Of returning to your own wisdom.

Let your attention begin at the crown of your head.

Simply notice as you bring your awareness here to the space where the light of your consciousness meets your physical form.

Softly now allow your awareness to move to your forehead,

Your eyebrows,

And the space between your eyebrows.

Let this space become wide open like the sky.

Feel your eyes soften in their sockets.

Releasing the need to focus or see anything at all.

There is a kind of vision here that requires no effort,

Only trust.

Move your attention to your jaw as you release the muscles here.

Allow your entire mouth,

Gums,

And tongue to relax.

Bring your awareness to the back of your head,

Your ears,

And your temples.

Feel your whole face now resting,

Quiet,

And at peace.

Allow your attention to gently float down to your neck and throat.

Notice any sensations here as you let go into ease.

Move your attention down to your shoulders.

If you're holding anything here,

Know that it's okay to let go just a little more into ease.

And relaxation.

Let your awareness move through your upper arms,

Elbows,

Forearms,

Wrists,

And into your hands.

Sense your hands resting,

Not grasping,

Not reaching,

Simply here.

Bring awareness to the center of your chest,

The home of your heart.

Feel it rise and fall with each breath.

Now draw your attention to your upper back and the back of your neck.

Let the muscles here let go of any effort.

Shift your awareness to your mid-back and lower back.

This column of strength has carried so much.

Let it be supported now.

Let it rest.

Now move into your abdomen.

This space is often where emotions gather and wait to be heard.

Let it expand and soften with the breath.

You may say inwardly,

You are safe now.

And feel your body respond.

Bring your awareness to your pelvis and hips,

Allowing yourself to be fully supported and held.

Notice your thighs,

Knees,

Shins,

And calves.

Your ankles,

Your feet,

And each of your toes.

Feel the entirety of your lower body strong,

Supported,

Alive.

Now hold your whole body in your awareness.

Crown of your head to the soles of your feet.

This body,

Your body,

Is your home.

It is yours.

It is sacred.

It is healing.

Let every cell of your being now receive this message.

I am worthy of this care.

I am allowed to rest.

I am allowed to heal.

Stay here,

Letting your body fully absorb your loving attention.

This is your sanctuary.

And now the healing deepens.

Now with your body at ease,

Imagine yourself being called toward a sacred space.

A place that belongs only to you.

This is not somewhere you must create with effort.

It's already within you.

A place that your soul remembers even if your conscious mind doesn't know the way.

A place that welcomes every part of you exactly as you are.

Let yourself begin to arrive in your sacred space.

Your inner sanctuary.

You may see it as a garden,

A mountaintop,

Or a soft stretch of sand at sunrise.

You may not see it at all,

But simply feel the energy of being somewhere safe,

Sacred.

And alive with peace and vitality.

Whatever comes to mind is perfect.

Trust what arises.

Notice the details around you.

The textures,

The colors,

And the light.

There is no right or wrong way to experience this place.

Simply allow it to unfold for you.

In this sacred space,

You are completely safe.

Here,

The earth supports you.

The air welcomes you.

The water welcomes you.

The light sees you.

And all that is required is that you rest.

Let yourself settle now.

Wherever and however you land here,

You are meant to be.

A gentle warmth at the center of your chest.

Your heart recognizing that this space is a reflection of your truth.

In this space,

You are allowed to breathe fully.

You are allowed to ask for what you need.

You are allowed to heal,

To receive,

To let life flow back into you.

This is your sanctuary.

A refuge that lives inside you.

One you can return to again and again.

And every time you do,

Your body remembers what it feels like to rest,

Enjoy,

To believe in possibility,

And to feel safe in your own presence.

Let yourself stay here,

Ready now to awaken the healing wisdom within.

Beneath the surface of effort and memory,

Beneath every story you've ever been told about what is possible for you,

There is a deep knowing,

An original design that remembers your wholeness.

A blueprint of vitality,

Balance,

And radiant health that has been waiting for you to return.

You were born with this wisdom.

The cells of your body know how to heal.

They know how to communicate,

How to regenerate,

How to harmonize.

And even now,

Your cells are responding.

Listening to your breath,

Softening with your awareness,

Aligning with your intention.

Feel this truth begin to awaken inside you.

You are healing,

And you are healed.

You are returning to yourself.

And in this return,

Every system in your body reclaims its rhythm and harmony.

Your breath becomes more nourishing.

Your heart beats with more ease.

Your nervous system begins to regulate itself with grace.

You may feel this as a warmth moving through you or a soft light spreading through your chest,

Your spine,

Your limbs.

You may notice a sense of calm rising from within.

Let these sensations guide you without needing to define or explain.

The healing is already in motion.

Silently,

You may wish to affirm to yourself,

I trust my body's wisdom.

I honor the healing that is already happening.

I am returning to my natural state of harmony and vitality.

My body knows how to restore itself,

And I allow it to do so with ease.

Each breath you take now is an act of healing.

Each moment of stillness and presence is a gesture of healing.

Each moment of stillness and presence is a gesture of self-trust.

You are the source of your healing.

Every cell in your body responds to love.

Every part of you is capable of transformation.

You begin to remember that healing is something you participate in,

Something you awaken through your presence,

Your belief,

Your willingness to receive,

And you are ready,

You are capable.

Within you lies a quiet,

Steady power,

Rooted and unwavering.

It is the power of your own inner authority,

The part of you that knows what you need and trusts your right to receive it.

You were born to take up space,

To make choices,

To shape your life from the inside out.

Feel that power rise within you gently.

This power speaks as a whisper of encouragement from within.

Reminding you that it is not only your right,

But your responsibility to care for yourself,

To advocate for your well-being.

You are allowed to ask for what you need.

You are allowed to protect your energy.

You are allowed to walk away from what no longer nourishes you and step toward what aligns with your truth.

Feel how your body responds when you give yourself that permission.

This is what self-trust feels like.

You know without a doubt you are the keeper of your body and your boundaries.

You can trust your intuition and honor your needs.

You are allowed to care for yourself fully and unapologetically.

You are the author of your healing and the architect of your future.

Let these truths settle into your bones.

Let them become the new framework of how you move through the world from a place of empowerment,

From a deep knowing that you are capable,

You are deserving,

And you are free to create a life that reflects your worth.

You are choosing yourself again and again with compassion,

Clarity,

And courage.

Allow my words to become your words as living truths awakening within you.

These ideas are seeds planted in the soil of your being.

As you rest,

They begin to root and bloom.

I am healing and I am whole.

I am safe in my body.

My health is my birthright and I claim it fully.

I believe in my body's ability to restore itself.

Every cell is vibrating with vitality,

Alignment,

And life.

I am capable,

Resourceful,

And empowered.

It is safe to feel joy and to receive goodness.

I allow love in and I give love freely.

I am making a difference and living with purpose.

I am worthy of my dreams and I am living them now.

I offer care to myself as I would to someone I love deeply.

My voice matters.

My needs matter.

I matter.

I am no longer waiting for someone else to believe in me.

I believe in myself.

The support I longed for is within me now and all around me.

I am surrounded by possibilities,

Encouragement,

And environments that nourish my growth.

My creativity is alive,

My healing is real,

And my dreams are welcome here.

I am worthy of thriving,

Abundance,

And joy.

Feel each affirmation settle into the wisdom of your body.

Feel each affirmation settle into the wisdom of your body.

Every affirmation you received,

Every truth you remembered,

Every healing breath you took,

These are now part of you.

Trust that this healing will continue long after this practice ends.

Trust that this healing will continue long after this practice ends.

Your subconscious mind is listening.

Your body is responding.

You are healing.

You are healed.

You are worthy.

You are enough.

Carry this energy with you.

The lightness in your chest.

The peace in your belly.

The quiet knowing in your heart.

You are safe.

You are whole.

This transformation has already begun.

Effortlessly weaving itself into every part of your being.

As you continue to rest,

Allow yourself to drift even deeper,

As if floating into the vast,

Limitless night sky.

Allow yourself to sink further into the rhythm of the universe.

Supported,

Weightless,

And free.

Trust that your mind and body are working in perfect harmony.

There is nothing you need to hold on to.

No need to search.

Everything you need is already here.

Already unfolding.

Sleep deeply now,

Wrapped in the warmth of this knowing.

The world will be waiting for you in the morning.

Clearer,

Lighter,

And brighter than before.

Rest.

Surrender.

And allow the transformation to take root.

You are healing.

You are healed.

You are whole.

Your birthright is joy,

Health,

Wholeness,

And fulfillment.
