I sit in the stillness,
Heart heavy,
Hands open.
There is a longing here,
A quiet yet insistent whisper in my chest.
I want to be whole,
I want to be free.
The recent days have carried shadows.
Old hurts,
Unspoken sorrows.
Traces of pain etched in my bones.
And yet beneath it all,
A gentle flame flickers.
Soft and unwavering,
Calling me towards myself.
I imagine a stream of light.
Warm,
Steady,
And patient.
Flowing into the places in my body that carry the most ache.
I let it move slowly through the tight knots of muscle tension.
Through the dense forests where fear has taken root.
I sit with it,
I feel it.
I do not rush.
I do not demand.
I do not expect.
I simply breathe.
And with each inhale,
I draw in courage.
With each exhale,
I release what I cannot carry anymore.
I whisper quietly to my soul.
It is safe to open.
It is safe to feel.
It is safe to heal.
And in this gentle surrender,
I feel the first stirrings of repair.
A slow unraveling of pain.
A tender seed of growth.
Soft as dawn.
Touching the horizon of my heart.
Here in this quiet moment,
I allow myself to hope.
I allow myself to trust.
I allow myself to fall into this healing of death and truth.
It is not a destination.
It is a journey.
I am ready to walk and to continue on.
Take a deep breath in.
And a full breath out.
On the inhale,
Drawing in courage.
Drawing in love.
On the exhale,
Releasing what you don't want to carry anymore.
Releasing,
Releasing,
Releasing.
Allow the breath to soften any muscular tension.
Any gripping or holding or clenching you may be holding on to.
Just notice,
Then release.
Allow the whole body to be soft.
The whole body.
Take a deep inhale in.
And a nice long exhale out.
Allow the breath and the body to be one.
To be whole.
To be connected.
I know sometimes it may be hard.
I know sometimes you may second guess or doubt yourself.
I know sometimes it may be hard to believe that it's true.
I know sometimes it may be hard to do.
I know sometimes it may be hard to heal.
I know it may be hard to move on.
I know it may be hard to believe in yourself.
I know it may be hard to stop second guessing and doubting yourself.
But I want you to turn that into trust.
Trust in the unknown.
Belief.
Belief in yourself.
And courage.
Courage to move forward.
Courage to move ahead.
And I promise you will surprise yourself.
You will move to new heights you never thought were possible.
Imagine it.
Just imagine it.
And we all have unspoken wounds that we all carry.
But it's possible.
Take another deep breath in.
And a full exhale out.
We will close this meditation with another round of breath.
So join me as we take a full deep breath in.
And last time let's sigh it out.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
And I wish you a great day ahead.
