Hello,
Lovelies.
My name is Dr.
Simone Thomas.
Thank you for joining me on this Insight Timer session.
This meditation is an affirmation practice designed to help you reconnect with your identity,
The parts of you that feel the most true,
That feels grounded,
And the parts that are ready to grow,
Ready to be stretched.
So let's start by taking a deep breath in together.
We're going to take that inhale for a count of six,
And then hold it for two,
And then exhale it slowly for a count of eight.
So we're going to do that twice.
So let's start with a deep breath in for six,
Hold for two,
And exhale slowly for eight.
One more time,
Deep breath in.
Let your body settle,
Your mind soften,
And the goal is to let your breath guide you,
Guide you home to yourself.
If it feels comfortable right now,
Allow your eyes to close,
Bring your attention to your body.
Notice how you're being supported in this moment.
Soften your shoulders,
Your jaw,
Soften your hands.
This meditation is not about becoming someone new.
It's about remembering who you already are,
Who you've always been beneath the noise and all the expectations.
I want to offer a series of affirmations,
And if you're in a position to say them out loud,
I want you to repeat them.
And if you're not,
Just say them silently to yourself.
Pause in between each one and just allow the words to land wherever they need to be.
So take a deep breath with me,
And let's jump on it.
I honor who I am becoming.
I honor who I am becoming.
My identity is shaped by truth,
Not expectation.
My identity is shaped by truth,
Not expectation.
I trust the parts of me that feel authentic and alive.
I trust the parts of me that feel authentic and alive.
I release identities that were handed to me,
Not chosen by me.
I release identities that were handed to me,
Not chosen by me.
I grow deeper into myself with every breath.
I grow deeper into myself with every breath.
I know myself more clearly every day.
I am allowed to change,
Evolve,
And redefine myself.
I am allowed to change,
Evolve,
And redefine myself.
My identity is shaped by truth,
Not expectation.
My identity is worthy of visibility and care.
My identity is worthy of visibility and care.
I choose what stays.
I choose what goes.
I choose what stays.
I choose what goes.
I belong to myself first.
I belong to myself first.
Allow yourself to breathe deeply into that last affirmation.
Let it root into your body like truth.
As you continue to breathe,
Notice if one of the affirmations stood out to you.
Notice which words felt like they spoke directly to your situation,
To your identity.
There's no right or wrong here.
There's no need to force anything.
Let it be soft and let it be gentle.
Your identity develops softly.
It happens gently in awareness,
In willingness,
In honesty.
Take a moment to rest in that awareness.
Who are you right now?
Let it settle.
Let it expand.
Love,
I bring your attention back to your breath.
Just noticing the inhale,
The warmness going in,
Full breath going out.
Your identity isn't something that you need to chase.
It's something that you return to again and again.
Through presence,
Through reflection,
Through moments like this,
You're able to see truth,
Be grounded in truth.
When you're ready,
Gently wiggle your fingers,
Wiggle your toes,
Open your eyes slowly and bring yourself back to this space.
Thank you so much for taking this moment to rest in these affirmations of who we are,
Aside from the noise that we hear,
Aside from the labels that are assigned to us.
Remember who you are.
Where your focus goes,
Your energy flows.
Peace and love.
This is Simone.
