When was the last time you gave yourself what you truly needed?
When was the last time you took a pause and listened to the whispers within you?
When was the last time you felt that you were worthy of the complete love and devotion you effortlessly give to others?
Too often we sacrifice our needs for the sake of others.
We pull away from what our hearts and spirits yearn for,
And in the process lose pieces of our true selves.
I want to remind you here that you are worthy of honoring your needs.
You are worthy of getting acquainted with your deepest truths and fully expressing it into existence.
And any sorrow you carry in your deepest being wishes for you to fully connect to this truth.
So let us now do so.
Begin to let go with deep breaths and welcome this sacred pause.
Connect to your true beingness here and the depth of your heart.
Close your eyes and allow each breath in and out.
Take you deeper and deeper within to the wisdom you carry here as you listen to the following words.
To the deepest parts of my being,
I want to speak to you,
To give you my unwavered attention with the presence of my full heart and devotion.
To sit here and dedicate myself to listening to you.
To help me come closer to my soul and welcome the power it holds for me.
I let go of the shame I carry in giving love to what I need,
To welcome further the essence of my eyes and ears,
And give my needs what it yearns for me.
I ask you,
My soul,
To give me strength,
To give power to my voice,
And to help me connect back to the pieces of me that I may have left astray as I slowly was made to believe that my needs did not need me.
To my inner child,
I am sorry.
I am sorry you were made to believe that you had no voice.
I am sorry that your shine was dulled by the diminishing of your beauty.
In essence,
In essence,
I am so sorry for it all.
Know that I love you.
Know that you no longer have to hide.
You no longer have to shed tears in hopes that your cries will be heard.
I am here,
And I dedicate myself from this moment forward to listening to you.
Sit in the pause of the space now,
And take the next few minutes to listen.
Listen to the totality of your heart and the expression of your soul,
And allow it to reveal to you what honoring your needs truly means for you.
As you slowly come back to the present,
Take a deep breath in and out.
Gently move the body,
And slowly open your eyes to the space in front of you.
I hope the softness of your heart was met further in this stillness.
That you were able to understand what you are worthy of giving to yourself.
That you connected to the parts of you that sat beneath the stillness,
And it helped you connect to the deeper parts of you,
To your truth,
To your worth,
To the power in sitting with yourself,
And knowing that honoring your needs is one of the grandest ways you can carve a life that will move your soul.
