Hello and welcome.
My name is Tina Stinson and I want to thank you for joining me for this guided meditation to reclaim your voice.
When you're ready,
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and release slowly through your mouth,
Feeling the breath clear your field.
Let's do that again.
In through the nose,
Hold at the top for a moment,
And then out through the mouth,
Letting yourself release from the day and be present.
Allow your awareness to land at your heart center,
And know that right now in this moment,
You are safe,
You are seen,
And you are guided.
Now begin to imagine a tree outside your window.
One that you've seen before,
Something ancient,
Something wise,
Glowing with life.
This is not just any tree.
This is the tree of truth,
A living bridge between the earth and the sky,
The past and the future,
The seen and the unseen.
In its branches,
There's a family of blue jays,
A mother and a few of her young,
And they're watching you.
Their eyes are sharp,
They're focused,
But very loving.
Their presence is strong,
Not just curious,
But protective,
Purposeful.
One of the jays speaks,
Not with words,
But with energy.
This energy tells you in this moment,
It reminds you of who you really are.
You're not here to be small,
You're not here to be silent.
Speak your truth,
Protect your peace,
And rise in your power.
Your time,
It's now,
Your voice,
It's now,
You're the guide.
Feel this truth anchor in your body,
Feel it in your chest,
Your throat,
Your spine.
Begin to remember who you are.
Now,
From a nearby branch,
A flash of crimson,
A cardinal,
Silent,
Radiant,
Still.
He brings warmth,
Protection,
Divine energy.
He's a whisperer from the unseen.
This moment reminds you that you're always supported,
You're important,
Not just for what you give and do,
But for who you are.
You are safe,
You are supported,
It's time to allow yourself to receive.
Pause for a moment,
And let these two energies merge.
The boldness of the jay,
The sacred support of the cardinal.
Breathe it in,
Feel it in every cell of your body,
As if your next season of life is being written inside of you,
Right now,
In this moment.
Feel your voice begin to rise,
Like a wind in the branches.
Repeat after me.
I speak my truth with courage and clarity.
I am safe to lead and receive.
I trust the signs,
I trust myself,
And I am ready.
Taking a deep breath in through your nose to seal this practice,
Hold at the top,
And then exhale through the mouth.
Let this sacred tree imprint on your soul.
Let the birds return to the sky,
But know their message lives in you now.
You're changed,
You're seen,
You're ready.
Take another deep breath in,
And as you release this breath,
Begin to return to the room,
Bringing this knowing with you throughout your day.
Namaste.
