Welcome,
Take a moment to settle in,
Let your body rest wherever it is,
Feel yourself arriving right here,
In this moment.
Allow your breath to find a natural rhythm,
A gentle steady flow,
No need to change or control it,
Just noticing.
As we begin,
Open to the possibility that fear is a mere illusion,
It can feel so real,
So real,
So consuming,
And yet beneath it lies something stable,
Unchanging,
Something that can hold everything.
That true state of beingness is love,
And love has the capacity to hold all things including fear,
The joy and the pain,
The beauty and the loss,
The clarity and the confusion.
Fear often whispers that something is broken,
That something must be fixed,
That we don't have enough or we aren't enough.
Sometimes it appears as the fear of failure,
Other times more deeply as the fear of death,
The ending of something we've known,
A loss of identity or the change of a world we thought was secure.
Every time fear arises,
Our instinct is to resist.
We believe that resistance protects us,
That if we fight,
If we push fear away,
We'll be safe,
And yet resistance is simply energy,
Energy that feeds what we're trying to avoid.
You may have heard the saying,
What you resist,
Persists,
So what if instead you simply allow?
What if you leaned in gently,
Lovingly toward the very thing you're most afraid of?
You might say to yourself,
Even if this comes to pass,
I can hold space for it,
I can meet it with presence.
When we accept what we fear,
The illusion begins to dissolve and what remains is love.
You begin to see through the veil,
To notice how much of the world is caught up in stories of fear,
And yet you do not have to live in that story.
Within you,
There is an anchor,
A field of love,
Kindness,
And deep respect for yourself and for others.
Now bring that awareness into the body,
Feel your heart center,
And repeat silently with the rhythm of your breath,
There's nothing broken,
There's nothing to fix.
There's nothing broken,
There's nothing to fix.
There's nothing broken,
There's nothing to fix.
Let these words sink into your being,
They're not just ideas,
They're the truth of who you are,
You are not something to fix,
You are whole.
From this place of wholeness,
You begin to see that everything,
Even the hard things,
Carries a gift.
The gift might be hidden at first,
Wrapped in discomfort or grief,
But it's there,
Always.
Every experience,
Every moment,
Every person in your life is part of a perfect unfolding.
Take a deep breath now,
And as you exhale,
Release the story that something is wrong.
Inhale trust,
Exhale release.
Inhale love,
Exhale peace.
Let yourself rest now in this quiet awareness,
This state of beingness that holds everything,
Where fear dissolves and love remains.
You can return here anytime with a single breath,
A single remembrance.
There's nothing broken,
There's nothing to fix.
Thank you for being here.
