Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down.
Let your body settle into whatever surface is holding you right now.
Feel the chair beneath you,
Or the floor,
Or the bed.
Notice that you are being held.
Take a gentle breath in,
And release,
And again,
Inhale,
Nice long exhale,
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
There's nothing you need to do right now,
Except be exactly where you are.
In this moment,
Right now,
You are safe.
In this exact moment,
Nothing is wrong.
Your body is breathing,
Your heart is beating,
Life is moving through you without any effort at all.
There's an old pattern that's been running in your system,
A very old belief that whispers you are not safe here,
That the world is dangerous,
That people will hurt you,
Use,
And reject you,
Or take from you,
That you must stay vigilant,
Prove your worth,
And protect yourself at all times,
And even then,
It won't be enough.
This pattern shows up everywhere.
It shows up at work.
It shows up when you think about money,
About being hurt or rejected,
About losing what you value,
About all the ways you could be diminished or harmed.
It shows up in relationships when you wonder if it's safe to be yourself.
It shows up when you hold back from being fully seen,
Because full exposure feels dangerous.
It whispers,
If people really knew you,
They would leave you.
If you take up space,
You'll be criticized.
If you let your guard down,
Something terrible will happen.
If you're vulnerable,
You'll be abandoned.
The fame makes your body tense.
It makes your chest tight.
It makes you brace for impact,
Constantly scanning for the next threat.
But here's what I want you to understand.
That voice is not truth.
It is old code.
It's a survival pattern from a younger version of you,
Who needed to stay vigilant to feel safe.
And it worked then.
It kept you alert,
But it's not serving you now.
You are not that pattern.
You are the one who notices the pattern.
You are the awareness that can see it rising,
Feel it gripping,
And choose not to follow it into the spiral.
So right now,
Let's practice softening,
Not because the fear is unreal to you,
But because you're ready to start feeding it with your attention and energy.
Bring your awareness to your body.
Notice where you're holding tension.
Maybe it's in your shoulders,
Your jaw,
Your belly,
Your chest.
Just notice it.
Don't try to fix it.
Just see it.
Now imagine that tension beginning to soften,
Like ice melting into water,
Like a clenched fist slowly opening.
You don't have to force it.
Simply allow it.
Let your body remember that it's safe to release the grip.
With each breath out,
Let go a little more.
Soften your shoulders.
Soften your face.
Soften your heart.
You are not under attack.
You are safe right here,
Right now.
Here's what you need to remember.
You are not unworthy,
And you are not at the mercy of a world that wants to consume you.
You have value simply because you exist.
Your worth is not measured by what you produce,
Or what you give,
Or whether you can prevent disaster.
You are inherently valuable.
You always have been.
The world is not out to drain you.
That's the old story.
The true story is this.
Life wants to support you.
Not because you've earned it,
Or because you're perfect.
But because that's what life does when you're open to receive it.
Think about your breath.
Right now,
Air is flowing into your lungs without you having to earn it,
Or prove you deserve it.
Your body receives oxygen with every breath.
Not because you've hustled for it.
Not because you've been good enough.
But simply because you're alive and open to receive it.
That's your blueprint too.
When you drop the defensiveness,
When you stop bracing for the next attack,
When you soften and open like your body opens to breath,
Life remembers how to support you.
Opportunities arrive.
Resources flow.
Support shows up.
Not through force,
But through receptivity.
Bring your awareness down to the base of your spine.
This is your root.
Your foundation.
The place where you connect with the earth.
With stability.
With the sense of being held by something larger than yourself.
Imagine a warm red light glowing at the base of your spine.
This is the energy of safety.
Of belonging.
Of being rooted in the truth that you have a right to be here.
You have a right to receive.
You have a right to rest.
You have a right to be supported without earning it.
Let that red light grow with each breath.
Let it fill your pelvis,
Your legs,
Your feet.
Feel that red light connecting you to the earth beneath you.
You are not floating alone in a hostile world.
You are rooted.
You are held.
You belong here.
Say to yourself silently or out loud.
I am safe.
I am worthy.
I am supported.
Not someday.
But right now.
Here's the practice moving forward.
Imagine.
When the old fear rises.
When that voice says they're going to take everything.
When your body braces for impact.
You're going to notice it.
You're going to see it clearly.
And you're going to choose differently.
You're going to pause.
You're going to soften.
And you're going to remember.
I'm not powerless.
I am safe right now.
This moment is okay.
You don't have to know how everything will unfold.
You don't have to have a plan for every possible disaster.
You just have to trust that you have the capacity to respond to what shows up when it shows up.
And here's what happens when you make that choice again and again.
The world softens.
Resistance fades.
Support arrives.
Not because you forced it or controlled it.
But because you stopped blocking it with fear.
You are selecting your timeline in every moment.
When you choose fear.
You experience the reality that matches fear.
When you choose trust.
You experience the reality that matches trust.
It's that simple and that powerful.
As you prepare to return to your day.
Take a moment to feel your body again.
Notice your breath.
Notice the ground beneath you.
Notice that you are still here.
Still safe.
Still whole.
When you go back to work.
When you interact with others in your professional life.
Even in your personal life.
Remember you are not at their mercy.
You are a powerful being.
Choosing consciously how you show up.
You can be professional,
Present and clear without being depleted.
You can receive payment for your work without shame or fear.
You deserve to be compensated.
You deserve to be valued.
And when that old fear whispers otherwise.
You'll notice it.
Soften around it.
And choose trust instead.
This is your new practice.
Notice the old code.
Don't feed it.
Choose presence and trust instead.
And watch how your world begins to shift.
Take one more deep breath in.
And release.
You are safe.
You are worthy.
You are supported.
Always.
When you're ready.
Gently open your eyes.
And take this truth with you into your day.
