Welcome.
In today's session,
We'll focus on connecting to your power and standing in your truth.
There is nothing more powerful than being firmly rooted in your truth.
Throughout our lives,
We are taught to shrink based on societal cues and messages in media.
When we are forced to get smaller,
Our inner power begins to dim.
And we lose connection to our inherent worthiness.
Our inner power is the fuel for our worth,
Our confidence.
And supports our ability to shine our light without feeling the need to dim or dampen it.
Tara Brock said.
Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible,
Yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns.
We may want to love other people without holding back.
To feel authentic.
To breathe in the beauty around us.
Dance and sing.
Yet each day,
We listen to inner voices.
That keep our life small.
Let's practice what it feels like to take up space.
To stand in.
Or sit in your power.
Harness your confidence.
And speak your truth.
As you're ready.
Find a comfortable,
Seated position.
Lower your gaze or close your eyes.
Start to notice the way your breath is flowing in your body.
Breathing in.
.
.
Breathing out.
As your awareness rests in your breath.
Notice the body getting a little bit more grounded.
Begin to reflect on your relationship with your inner power.
What is your daily relationship with taking up space?
There is no wrong answer.
Simply bring awareness to what rises spontaneously.
What is your daily relationship with taking up space?
Today,
We'll invite in gentle movement.
Linked to our breath.
To practice taking up space.
Slowly reach your arms out into a T position.
Your thumbs point up.
And your palms face forward.
Take a full round of breath here.
In through your nose.
And out through your nose.
Notice what it feels like already taking up this space.
Start to turn your palms up towards the sky.
And let your head tilt back gently.
Feel your collarbones opening.
And lifting.
Then start to turn your thumbs towards the floor.
Let your spine naturally round as the tips of your shoulders draw forward.
Let's incorporate the breath.
With your next inhale,
Turn your palms to face the sky.
Lift your gaze and your heart.
As you exhale,
Spin your thumbs towards the floor.
And slightly round your spine.
Inhale,
And turn your palms towards the sky.
Lift your heart.
Exhale to spin your thumbs towards the floor and slightly round your spine.
Inhale and turn your palms to face the sky.
Let your heart shine bright.
As you exhale,
Spin your thumbs towards the floor and slightly around your spine.
With your next breath in,
Return to a neutral spine.
Let your hands rest in your lap or by your sides.
Feel a shift in the energy surrounding your heart.
Let your awareness rest at your heart.
A place that houses the essence of you.
Imagine the light from your heart starting to radiate outward,
Expanding to cover your whole body.
Allow your breath to return to its natural flow.
Gently breathing in.
And breathing out.
Rest within the power.
The warmth.
In the light of your truth.
I'll mind the time.
When you're ready,
Bring your awareness back to your heart.
Feel the warmth of this light continuing to surround your whole body.
Slowly,
Allow your eyes to open.
Anytime you feel like you are shrinking away from your inner power.
Practice a variation of what we did here today.
You might visualize yourself drawing your shoulders back and allowing the light from your heart to shine bright.
If you have the space,
You can physically practice just like we did today.
Uncover your heart.
And let the essence of you guide the way.
May you remain aligned to your truest essence each and every day.
Namaste.
