Welcome.
Find a comfortable and safe space to sit or lie down.
Allow your body to settle and take a long slow exhale.
When you are ready,
Begin to feel the natural rhythm of your breath as it moves in and as it moves out.
There is nothing to do,
Nowhere to be,
Just this breath.
I see you.
On your next exhale,
Imagine looking into your own eyes.
Look deeply into your own eyes and really see you,
The parts of you that long to be witnessed,
To be truly seen,
All of you,
In all its depth,
Its beauty,
Its rawness.
Breathe gently in,
Breathe gently out.
I see you.
I see the moments of strength you have carried alone.
I see the quiet courage beneath the surface.
I see the tenderness in you,
The kindness,
The resilience,
The patience.
You are visible.
You are here.
I see you.
Breathe gently in.
Breathe gently out.
Now bring your awareness to your inner voice,
The whispers,
The unspoken words,
Those longing to be heard and understood.
Breathe gently in.
Breathe gently out.
I hear you.
I hear the stories you tell yourself.
I hear the stories that go untold.
I hear the joys,
The worries,
The dreams yet to be spoken aloud.
I hear the young innocent child within,
The young adult,
The adult.
I hear the leader,
The seeker,
The friend,
The partner,
The carer.
Every part of you has a voice,
And every voice matters.
I hear you.
Breathe gently in.
Breathe gently out.
I feel you.
Place your hands gently over your heart.
Feel its steady rhythm.
Feel its power,
Its energy.
Feel its quiet devotion to your existence.
Let yourself drop into this moment.
Really feel your heart.
Feel all the power and love that resides in your heart.
Breathe gently in.
Breathe gently out.
I feel you.
I feel the depth of your journey.
I feel the tenderness beneath the armor.
I feel the love that longs to flow.
I feel the energy that moves through you.
You are not alone in this.
I feel you.
Breathe gently in.
Breathe gently out.
Allow these words to land,
Not just as an idea or a sound,
But as a felt sense.
An experience.
Allow that love to flow through your entire body,
Emanating from your heart throughout your entire being.
Feel the warmth,
The energy and the power of that love,
And let it flow.
Breathe gently in.
Breathe gently out.
I love you.
I love you not for what you have done or achieved,
Nor for what you have.
Not for the tasks you have undertaken,
Nor all the roles that you fulfill.
Nor for how well you have carried the worries and the weight of the world.
I love you for who you are.
Simply because of who you are.
You are worthy of love,
Exactly as you are.
In this breath.
In this moment.
I love you.
I love you.
In this breath.
In this moment.
I love you.
Breathe gently in.
Breathe gently out.
Let these words settle into your body.
Let these feelings settle into your body.
Let the energy of this love flow throughout you.
Let them move through your heart,
Your mind,
Your soul,
Your spirit.
Let the love flow through your entire being.
There is nothing to do.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to prove.
Just this present moment.
Just this presence of love.
Just this love.
Let it flow.
Let it be.
Really see it.
Really hear it.
Really feel it.
Really love it.
Know that you are seen.
You are heard.
You are felt.
You are loved.
You are seen.
You are heard.
You are felt.
You are loved.
Breathe out.
Breathe gently in.
Breathe gently out.
When you are ready,
Take one more breath in.
And one long,
Slow exhale out.
Gently bring your attention back to the space around you.
Feel the support of the seat or the ground beneath you.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
And when you are ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Thank you for sharing this practice with me.
Thank you for sharing this practice with you.
You are seen.
You are heard.
You are felt.
You are loved.
And I look forward to practicing again with you tomorrow.
Thank you.
