Hello and thank you for joining me in this moment of self-care.
I am grateful to have you here.
And today we're going to explore how to let go of the need to dominate conversations and soothe any fears that you won't be heard.
This is a practice that is all about balancing your powerful voice with the art of deep listening.
So let's approach this journey with warmth and compassion for ourselves and take it one breath at a time.
This meditation was created with the intention of guiding you toward a balanced way of communicating.
One that honors both speaking and listening.
So wherever you are,
Whether at home or in a quiet corner of your day,
Settle in comfortably.
Rest your hands gently.
And take a deep breath in through your nose.
And slowly exhale through your mouth.
Now let's take a few minutes to connect with our inner voice and find harmony in our interactions.
We'll begin with a deep breath in.
And exhaling out slowly.
Another breath in.
And out.
And out.
Feel the calm of your steady breath anchoring you in this moment.
Now let's visualize yourself standing in a vast serene feel or somewhere where you feel powerful with your voice.
Any space that is clear and has open communication.
And see yourself engaging in a gentle conversation.
You speak.
And you listen.
And as you do so,
Imagine a soft breeze carrying your words.
And in return,
A kind breeze brings back words of understanding.
There is no pressure,
Only a natural flow between speaking and hearing.
Speaking and listening.
With each inhale,
Repeat quietly in your mind,
I am safe when I listen.
With each exhale,
Softly say,
My voice matters without dominating.
So breathing in,
I am safe when I listen.
Breathing out,
My voice matters without dominating.
And let these affirmations settle deeply within you.
Focus on your fruit,
The center of your communication.
And imagine a warm light glowing there.
This light is your inner assurance.
Steady,
Calm,
And powerful.
If any fear of being unheard arises,
Simply acknowledge it with kindness.
You are heard and safe.
There is room for both me and others.
Let the light remain steady and bright.
Take another deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Feel that balance of speaking and listening resonate through your entire being.
Breathing naturally.
Remember that your voice is powerful,
Because it is shared with compassion and understanding.
Gently open your eyes,
Wiggle your feet,
And carry with you into this day a sense of balance and calm in your communication.
Thank you for meditating with me today.
