Soul rescue,

Feeling breath through the darkest moments.

Welcome to disappointment.

We have been expecting you.

We knew there would be moments like this.

You may be feeling unhappy and discontent with life.

Perhaps you feel betrayed by life because despite doing everything right,

The rug keeps being pulled out from under you.

Maybe there is a sense of loss,

Shame,

Or guilt.

But before you hear what you came here to hear,

Let's take three deep and slow breaths.

This is to reset your mind,

Relax your body,

And open your awareness.

Or you will miss this message.

Inhale deeply,

Hold gently,

And exhale slowly.

Again,

Inhale and exhale.

One more time.

Inhale,

Hold gently,

And exhale slowly.

Hi,

I'm Ana Barreto.

I have had many moments like this,

Too many to count and not enough to get me out of purpose.

There was even a raining day when I got in my car and drove without destination until I found myself outside a small church with a grotto.

There I had a serious confrontation with Virgin Mary,

Asking her why.

The church was closed,

So I didn't get to talk to the big guy,

You know.

The rain and my tears mixed that evening.

At the time,

I couldn't make sense of anything.

And the only thing I felt I could do as I dried myself was to accept.

It wasn't acceptance as a defeat.

It was acceptance out of exhaustion.

I was simply tired of fighting.

By the time I got home and went to bed,

I slept tossing and turning.

When the morning arrived,

My heart understood.

Life is not happening to you.

It's happening for you,

Even when it doesn't look that way.

I surrendered.

There were no angels singing over me,

Only a quiet knowing that gave me enough peace to continue.

And all I had to do was to surrender.

When we live with thoughts like,

I'm not enough,

Nothing is working out.

What's the point?

Those lower thoughts create lower energy.

And that energy shapes our feelings,

Pulling us into heaviness,

Sadness,

And despair.

But the moment you pause,

Take a breath,

And create space,

Something shifts.

Your breath lifts your energy.

And when your energy rises,

You gain access to the wisdom of the moment.

Wisdom that is hidden when you are stuck in low vibration.

So,

Let's pause now.

Place one hand over your heart.

Take a slow breath in.

And exhale.

Feel your chest rising and falling.

This is a reminder that you are not alone.

Five billion people breathing with you in this very moment.

You are part of a great rhythm of life.

What if this difficult season is not a punishment,

But preparation?

What if this delay is not rejection,

But protection?

What if life is moving pieces in the background that you cannot yet see?

You are not forgotten,

My friend.

You are not abandoned.

You are being guided.

But before you can see all the plans,

You need to pause.

You need to surrender.

The divine does not waste your pain.

It transforms it into wisdom,

Strength,

And compassion.

It prepares you for what is next.

There is a higher plan for you.

Think of this moment as a seed planted in the soil.

In the dark,

It looks like nothing is happening.

But beneath the surface,

Roots are forming.

Life is preparing the seed to break through.

Your struggle may feel like darkness.

But you too are being prepared to rise.

However,

You need to reset your thoughts and emotions.

You can do it daily with intention.

Today,

Tomorrow,

Now or later in the day,

You can create a moment with purpose.

Before you get distracted by checking your phone or getting caught up in social media noise,

Give yourself this gift.

A short meditation to open your awareness.

Just a few minutes can change how you step into the moment,

The day,

Or any phase of your life.

That's all it takes.

Are you ready to begin?

So find a comfortable space where you won't be disturbed.

Close your eyes and take three deep and slow breaths.

We will reset your emotions and thoughts through the power of the chakras.

Imagine a bright light,

A healing light,

Coming down from your own personal golden star.

Coming into your body.

This light is going to walk through all your chakras,

Resetting your thoughts,

Your emotions,

And how you feel about life.

As you welcome this beautiful healing light,

Breathe this light through the crown chakra located on the top of your head.

Inhale the light through the top of your head and exhale any despair.

Again,

Invite this healing light through the top of your head and exhale any feeling of despair.

One more time.

Inhale and exhale.

Now move the light to your third eye located between your eyebrows.

Inhale the light through the third eye and exhale any confusion you may be feeling right now.

Again,

Inhale the light through your third eye and exhale any confusion.

One more time.

Inhale the light through your third eye and exhale confusion.

Move the light to your throat chakra.

Inhale the light through your throat and exhale fear.

Again,

Inhale the light through your throat chakra and exhale any sense of fear.

One more time.

Inhale the light through your throat and exhale fear.

Move the light to your heart center.

Inhale the light through the heart center.

And exhale any heaviness you feel.

Inhale the light through your heart center.

And exhale any heaviness you feel in your heart or in your body.

One more time.

Inhale the light through your heart center and exhale any heaviness you feel.

Now move the light to your solar plexus.

It's your gut area.

Inhale the light through your solar plexus and exhale doubts.

Inhale the light through your solar plexus and exhale any doubts.

One more time.

Inhale the light through your solar plexus and exhale doubts.

Now move this healing light to your sacral chakra located behind the belly button.

Inhale the light through your sacral chakra and exhale impatience.

Inhale the light through your sacral chakra and exhale any impatience about anything in your life.

One more time.

Inhale the light through the sacral chakra and exhale impatience.

Now move this beautiful healing light to the root chakra located at the base of the spine for men and between the ovaries in women.

Inhale the light through the root chakra and exhale your worries.

Inhale the light through the root chakra again and exhale all your worries.

One more time.

Inhale the light through the root chakra and exhale all your worries.

Now place your hand in your heart and take one last full breath through your whole body.

Pick a color,

Any color,

And exhale with the sound of ah.

You are not broken.

You are not behind.

You are becoming.

You are becoming,

My friend.

And everything,

Yes,

Everything is happening for you.

Use it as a mantra.

Return to this meditation whenever you feel stuck,

Heavy,

Impatient,

Without,

Disconnected.

Each breath will meet you where you are,

And each time you practice,

The light within you will grow stronger.

Your soul is waiting for disappointments again and again.

This is Ana Barreto signing off with much love until we meet here once more.
