Welcome.
My name is Lillian,
And today I would like to invite you on a journey,
On a journey to help us connect a little bit deeper with our own inner power.
With the strength that lives within each and every one of us.
With this version of you that moves through life with certainty and clarity,
And that stands tall in their truth.
So let's begin by simply noticing the space around us.
Noticing the temperature in the room,
Bringing our attention to the rise and fall of our breath,
And let's take a nice deep breath in together.
Noticing any tension,
Perhaps in your shoulders,
In your jaw or your hands,
And using your breath as you exhale,
Just gently release and soften.
I'm going to invite you to bring someone to mind,
Someone who embodies power.
Maybe it's someone that you admire for their strength,
For their presence.
It could be someone that you know,
Maybe a mentor or a loved one,
Or you can think of any figure or character who radiates this steady power.
I invite you to see them in your mind's eye and picture them standing before you.
And don't be afraid to observe them closely,
Asking yourself,
How do they stand?
What's the quality of their presence?
And just take a moment here to absorb their energy and to feel what it's like to have them here with you.
And just begin to notice if you are drawn to their energy,
Maybe inspired by it.
Maybe you feel a little bit more resistance and hesitation.
All the feelings are welcome.
Just notice and observe.
Notice if there's something in their power that you would like to claim for yourself.
Now I want you to feel what would happen if this person turns towards you.
Their eyes meet yours and you notice that they see you.
And they don't just see who you are,
They see who you're capable of becoming.
If this person can speak,
What would they say to you?
Are there words of encouragement and wisdom?
Maybe it's energetically being transferred to you.
Just allow yourself to receive,
Receive their message.
Whether it's a word,
A symbol,
Or just a feeling,
Just allowing it.
As you feel this gift,
Notice what begins to shift within you.
Does your posture change?
What happens to your breath when you allow yourself to feel this power?
What happens if you let yourself feel what it's like to be seen,
To be embraced and recognized?
Allow yourself to be with whatever's here.
Maybe if you don't fully take it in,
That's okay.
But just be aware of what's happening to your body.
And what would happen if you just allow one little bit in?
One little bit of this power,
Just knowing that you have the ability to open up,
To as much as your body allows.
Whatever strength and power is being felt,
I invite you to claim it.
You can begin with a simple affirmation.
My power is mine to claim.
Taking a deep breath in together and allowing those words to settle in.
Taking a moment here to thank this person that was a beautiful reminder of the power that you have within and allowing them to leave the space,
To create a little bit of space,
Just to be with yourself.
For this last song,
I will remain silent and let you explore what comes alive and what it feels like to be with your strength.
To feel even a little bit of your power.
Welcome back.
Let's take one more deep breath together.
Maybe placing a hand on your heart and allowing this strength to settle in your bones.
Thank you for journeying with me today.
It's an honor to share the space with you,
Even if it's stepping into our strength in the smallest of ways.
I would like to leave you with the thought that this power is always within you,
Just waiting for you to claim it.
Take your time coming back to the space.
You can gently open your eyes if you haven't done so already,
Adding a little movement to your body and noticing if you see your surroundings a little different.
Take a moment now for some private and personal journaling,
And I'll see you next time.
