In today's practice I invite you to let go of the need to have an agenda for this time.
Let go of any expectation of what is right or wrong and simply be present with your breath.
Inhale,
Hold your breath for a few seconds and now exhale slowly.
If you want you can close your eyes,
Make yourself comfortable.
One more time,
Inhale,
Hold your breath for a few seconds and exhale slowly.
As you do it again,
Inhale,
Hold the breath and when you exhale make a sound of relief.
Breathe normally and now to help you relax even more,
Inhale,
Tense up your entire body and release.
Make a sound of relief.
Notice that you don't need to make an effort to relax.
Relaxation is your natural state.
Allow every nerve and muscle in your body to be totally at ease,
Starting from your scalp,
Facial muscles,
Jaw.
Relax your shoulders,
Arms and hands.
Send this relaxation down into your chest and belly.
Picture your back muscles turning loose and limp and send this relaxation down into your hips and legs.
Repeat mentally,
I'm deeply relaxed.
Today we are reflecting on how the victim thinks and feels.
Victimization is born from the idea that one has no power of choice.
The victim blames a disease,
A parent,
A friend or a partner.
They point the fingers at a boss,
Society or even the change of season for how oppressed they feel.
And because they can't be responsible for how they respond to situations,
They give their power to external forces.
Is there a situation in your life in which you feel like a victim?
Now,
How would the situation be different if you were not a victim but you were a victim?
If you felt empowered,
What would you do?
What would you say?
You are invited to use your creative potential to find life solutions.
As I recite the prayer,
Feel free to speak out loud or mentally.
Prayer for empowerment.
I'm free from the need to be a victim of circumstances.
I no longer need to feel oppressed,
Small or weak.
I now tap into my unlimited creative power.
To fulfill the deepest desires of my soul.
I release anyone or anything I hold as the source of my unhappiness.
I make choices that empower me and as a consequence I find true bliss in expressing my inner light.
May I find true bliss in expressing my inner light.
Take a deep breath and visualize yourself fulfilling your soul's deepest desires,
Expressing your inner light.
Thank you for being here today.
It is suggested that you practice this prayer for the next 21 days.
When you feel ready,
You can open your eyes,
Bringing with you the sense of ease and the state of peace.
