Take a deep breath,
Breathe in as deeply as you can,
And then breathe out.
As you breathe out,
Deeply and deeply,
Slowly,
Aim to find the sensations of tingling,
Fullness and warmth inside your hands.
Put your intention and attention in there,
As deep as you can,
While keeping your eyes open.
And as you do,
You aim to tune in the deeper and more automatic part of the mind that deals with temperature,
Pressure and pain.
Breathe in deeply,
And breathe out.
We're going to start repeating an affirmation a few times,
And you can either sing the song if you know it,
Or keep repeating this affirmation.
Take one more breath,
And begin.
I am calm and compassionate.
I am enough,
Just how I am.
Although I know I have much more to improve and refine.
I am calm and compassionate.
I am enough,
Just how I am.
Although I know I have much more to improve and refine.
I am calm and compassionate.
I am enough,
Just how I am.
Although I know I have much more to improve and refine.
I am calm and compassionate.
I am enough,
Just how I am.
Although I know I have much more to improve and refine.
I am calm and compassionate.
Although I know I have much more to improve and refine.
I am calm and compassionate.
I am enough,
Just how I am.
Although I know I have much more to improve and refine.
I am calm and compassionate.
I am calm and compassionate.
I am enough,
Just how I am.
Although I know I have much more to improve and refine.
I am shut down,
Fall on deaf ears.
I can't confront you,
It stirs inside.
So I'd rather stay quiet and get crushed.
Will anyone listen?
I feel small.
I wanna be liked and be made fun of.
I just wanna have everything.
Am I speaking my truth?
Or am I lying to myself and others?
Why is he hearing?
Why is he hearing?
What if I'd be full?
I talked.
How can I be heard all over this noise?
How can I learn?
Trust my own inner voice.
I wanna be heard.
I wanna be heard.
I wanna be heard.
To listen first.
You wanna be heard.
I wanna be heard.
I wanna be heard.
I just have to listen first.
We're taking on this.
It's not mine to suck.
Flowers are burdens.
Saving face,
One resolve it.
I let you do as I dismiss it.
You enjoy your frown.
Am I speaking my truth?
Or am I lying to myself and others?
Why is he hearing?
Why is he hearing?
What if I'd be full?
I talked.
How can I be heard all over this noise?
How can I learn?
Trust my own inner voice.
I wanna be heard.
I wanna be heard.
I wanna be heard.
I just have to listen first.
I wanna be heard.
I hope to listen first.
