Do you ever get caught up in anxiety?
I certainly do.
And I realized that anxiety is all about being caught up in the moment,
Wishing for it to be something that it's not,
Placing our focus onto a space of lacking,
A space of wishing for something different,
And feeling into a space that it's impossible.
And so in these moments,
The most powerful thing we can do is actually leap out of the spiraling down state and into a space of spiraling upwards.
We're going to be tapping into the energy of gratitude,
Because gratitude is the number one thing that helps us live into the wonderful abundance of the present moment,
To really appreciate all we do have,
And to enjoy the abundance of the present moment.
So go ahead and find yourself in a comfortable seated position where you can connect through your spine,
Downwards into the earth,
Into the energetic root system of the planet,
And upwards through your spine,
Through the top of your head,
To the sky,
To the sun,
The moon,
The stars,
The planets,
The entire universe.
Feeling that support and connection above and below.
Go ahead and place your hands over the center of your heart,
Over your chest.
Gently close your eyes if you haven't already.
I'll guide us through a few breaths.
We'll inhale for four,
Hold for four,
Release for four,
Three times.
Go ahead and take a clearing breath,
Inhaling everything in,
And exhale everything out.
Inhale for one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Hold for one,
Two,

Release for one,

Hold for one,

Inhale,
Returning to a natural rhythm of breath,
Offering gratitude to this air flowing within us,
Connecting us,
Providing all the nutrients we need,
Connecting to the element of water within us in our bloodstream,
Connecting us to all the water of our planet and that has ever existed,
Connecting to the fire within us in our digestive system,
In the electricity through our nervous system,
The fire of our passion and our ability to transform,
Connecting to the earth element,
Connecting us to the planet and to the other beings here.
From this place,
Go ahead and welcome in your guides,
Your ancestors,
Animals or plants,
Other support systems that are here for you.
Welcome them into your consciousness to be with you today.
And today we'll be working with a mantra that you'll repeat,
Allowing for yourself to release any needs of expectations and focusing on the following words,
Repeating them in your mind or in a soft whisper.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Repeating these words,
Allowing for their frequency,
For their vibration to fill your entire body.
With each inhale,
Receiving the energy of these words and feeling the way it alchemizes into each cell of your body.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Repeating these words and noticing any sensations in your body,
Any emotions,
And any thoughts allowing them to flow through you.
Continuing to return back to these words.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Trusting whatever your experience is today is exactly what you need today.
Repeating the words.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Go ahead and bring your attention,
Your focus to the key takeaway from today's practice for you.
Perhaps something you really are grateful for in this moment in your life.
Allowing yourself to really feel into that.
Feeling into this space of gratitude,
Of thank you.
Go ahead and double this feeling now.
Feeling into the space of gratitude and abundance and acceptance.
Welcoming all the opportunities around you.
Tripling this feeling now.
Basking in this beautiful energy.
Offering gratitude to your higher self for taking this time,
For being guided to this space,
To this practice.
To your guides and ancestors and support systems,
Whoever they are.
For being with you today and always.
Go ahead and take a deep inhale.
Inhaling everything in.
And exhaling everything out.
Gently,
Softly returning yourself back into the third dimension.
Feeling how your clothing feels on your skin.
Hearing the sounds around you in your environment.
And gently opening your eyes.
Thank you so much for practicing with me today.
This is Yudha Sappi.
