Hello,
My name is Samantha Archibald of ZY Yoga.
Thank you for joining me as we explore our world through meditation.
As we begin,
Find a comfortable seat.
It could be on a chair,
Seated on the floor,
Or lying down.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in,
And a long breath out.
Savor the moment as you inhale,
Slowing the breath down.
And as you exhale,
Let it go.
Again,
As you inhale,
Take your time.
Letting the breath move into your body.
Then softly,
With the exhale,
Let it go.
Let go of all the tension around the tempo,
Eyebrows,
Jawline,
Neck,
And shoulders.
Let the body become heavy.
Let the body relax.
All you need to do at this moment is focus on your breath.
And allow your breath to do the rest.
It's been said that uncertainty is the one certainty there is.
We have seen how true that is in the last years.
But how do we live knowing that nothing is certain?
The answer is simple.
Life is not meant to be certain.
It's meant to be lived.
Even when you don't understand it,
Trusting in the journey gives you the space to discover and explore this life.
Yes,
With uncertainty,
There is doubt and fear.
However,
When nothing is certain,
Then everything is possible.
How mundane our lives would be if we knew every moment.
What is courage,
Faith,
Hope,
Wisdom,
Without doubt,
Fear,
And curiosity?
We're not supposed to have all the answers.
Instead,
I'd like for you to imagine,
Imagine that life gives you a book.
And in the first few pages,
There's a little bit of background information of who we are,
Like our name,
Date of birth,
Family history,
But the rest of the pages are blank,
Full of uncertainty.
But through curiosity,
Desire,
Courage,
You find the will to fill those pages with joy and tears,
Adventure and tragedy,
Confusion and wisdom.
Keep them in mind that some chapters might not have a clear beginning,
Middle,
Or end.
But you can be certain without knowing what happens next.
You will make the best of whatever life has in store.
We are here.
We have been given this opportunity to create our story.
Not knowing how the story will begin.
Yes,
Not knowing.
Stepping forward with that uncertainty,
But with such a vast possibility.
So take a little more time here.
Quietly imagining how you want to plan your day,
How you want to live your life.
Understand that nothing is certain,
But everything is possible.
Have a beautiful day.
And namaste.
