Find yourself in a comfortable seated position and start by taking in a deep,
Long breath.
Feeling the air go so deeply into your lungs as if it's the first breath you've really been able to fully take in all day.
You're doing so great.
And another deep belly breath in,
Holding the air at the top and let it all go with an audible sigh.
With each big breath in and out,
Feel yourself able to let go just a little more.
Feel yourself sinking deep into the surface where you're resting,
How it fully supports you.
Allow the tension you've been holding onto in your shoulders and your chest to soften.
Your body is now noticeably more relaxed than when we first began and still you can continue to let go and settle.
Your heart rate is slow and steady now.
Your body is breathing easily with no effort.
Allow your thoughts to start to drift off away from the things that you need to do next or the anxiety coming from any to-do lists.
Let your thoughts settle into the depths of your inner wisdom.
As you follow the sound of my voice,
Use your imagination to find yourself in an elaborate and lush garden that lives just inside your mind.
A place of refuge and relaxation that symbolizes life and growth and abundance.
See the brightly colored flowers surrounding you and smell the aroma of their sweetness.
The beautiful blooms in contrasting shades of vibrant purple and deep red.
Delicate petals that look as if they were hand-painted.
Allow yourself to experience the true peace and serenity that's surrounding you.
How it feels as if you are in a different world entirely.
Allow the warmth to sink deep into your skin from the sun overhead.
As you start to notice a clearing just in front of you,
A clearing with dark nutrient-rich soil that has been turned and is ready for new plantings.
A magical place where anything you plant grows tall and strong.
As you hold out your palm,
You see it filled with ten small brown seeds.
Inside each tiny seed is a new truth about yourself,
Ready to be planted and nurtured in the garden that lives inside your mind.
Each new truth is ready to grow,
Ready to be nurtured and supported.
As I say each one,
Imagine taking each seed of truth and planting it deep into the soil so it can flourish.
I am doing my best to care for my children and my family.
I'm doing the best that I can and I don't need to judge myself harshly when I feel like I've fallen short.
I love myself enough to forgive the mistakes I've made in the past.
I trust my intuition to make the best choices and decisions for our future.
I am the exact parent my child needs to bloom and I don't need to compare myself to the journey of others.
Today,
I will allow myself to see and feel the positive aspects of motherhood.
I will let go of how I think today is supposed to go and accept how it unfolds.
Just as the needs of my children matter,
So do my own.
I deserve time for myself where I can attend to my own emotional,
Physical,
And spiritual needs without guilt or apology.
I am doing the best that I can do.
I am doing an incredible job.
It takes a very strong person to do everything that I do and I'm so proud of myself.
Allow these new truths to start to grow roots deeper into your mind.
See them becoming stronger and more resilient with each layer of soil they pass through.
Take a breath.
Feel the beautiful energy of love starting to move through you as you breathe it in.
Let the feeling of love overtake you.
Embody you.
Notice any colors.
Feel its energy.
Feel any sensations that come to the front of your mind.
Becoming aware of exactly how your body feels in this moment.
Remembering that you are safe.
Place your hand on your heart and welcome these new beliefs into their new home inside of you.
Silently thank yourself for the gift of your garden sanctuary.
For the gift of allowing yourself to receive these new beliefs from the universe today.
And for the guidance in planting them with an unknown author.
These new beliefs were meant for you today.
It is no accident that you are listening to this message in this exact moment.
This moment was always meant just for you.
With one last deep breath in and an exhale out,
Open your eyes and welcome yourself back into the space around you.
