Life is really just a cycle of spiraling,

Spiraling up or spiraling down.

And I want you to make the choice,

Intentionally embody the choice to spiral upward.

Because you have the power to fly.

You can fly wherever you want.

So why not go up?

Why not expand?

As you land here in this present moment,

Become aware of your breath.

Become aware of the inhale and the exhale.

Become aware of the fluttering of the breath,

Like wings.

The way the inhale supports the exhale,

And the exhale supports the inhale.

The rise of the breath,

The fall of the breath,

Just like your wings.

Today I want us to focus on affirming the truth of your being.

The truth that you are worthy.

The truth that you are love itself.

The truth that you are perfect,

Just as you are.

Breathe and receive this truth.

As we breathe,

I invite you to go within your heart space and find that inner butterfly.

Find yourself in flight again.

Looking down at the land.

Looking down on the life that is yours.

Getting this eagle eye view,

But as your delicate butterfly self.

So full of beauty.

So full of life.

So full of dreams.

It's time to expand fully into those dreams.

Now that you can fly,

Now that you can go anywhere you want to go.

Where will you go next?

Allow yourself to dream here.

To drop in with the breath and feel the fluttering of your wings as you fly.

And maybe begin to fly in a spiral.

Starting tight at the bottom.

Beginning to spiral upward.

Widening the circle as you rise.

Seeing it like spiral staircase.

Seeing yourself expanding up toward the heavens.

Seeing the infinite possibility of the future.

You don't know exactly where you're going.

And that's part of the excitement of this.

It's part of the journey.

You might not have all the answers yet.

But you can fly.

And you can see yourself.

And you can see the earth.

You can see the journey that you're on.

Become aware of the support of your own energetic wings.

Your own cultivation of your ability to pursue your dreams.

To take action.

To take flight.

You're spiraling upward.

If it feels good to do so,

You might even allow there to be a slight spiral in the physical body.

You might allow there to be a circling of the hips or of the chin.

Just anything to create some somatic experiencing of this upward spiral.

And regardless,

Continuing to breathe.

As you fly here,

As you see yourself spiraling upward toward infinite possibilities,

I invite you to anchor in these affirmations.

I can do anything that I set my mind to.

I have gone into my shadows and made myself in a brand new image.

Knowing I can do that,

I know I can do anything.

I get to reinvent myself at any point in time.

There is no right or wrong answer for me.

Only the zone of my joy and genius.

I am empowered.

I am grateful.

I am infused with a vitality and vibrant life.

There are many beautiful colors in my life.

I am so grateful for all of the experiences that I've had and will have.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to expand,

To fly.

I accept that life gets to be a spiral.

And I get to choose to make it an upward one.

I choose to see everything as a sign of growth.

I allow myself to grow exactly as I need to become my highest self.

I am lovingly aware of the presence of my higher self.

I acknowledge that this higher self is not where I'm meant to be or who I'm meant to be all the time.

But I know and appreciate that I can call on my higher self at any time.

I am so grateful for the me I am becoming.

I have unlearned and am learning things anew.

It's okay to change my mind.

It's okay to change my form.

It's okay to weave a new story.

It's okay if I get tangled again because I know I can untangle any mess.

I am aware of the dark.

And I am also aware of the infinite power I possess within me.

The infinite light.

I am grateful for my angels,

Ancestors,

Guardians,

And guides.

I am grateful for the support of my own soul.

And again,

Just breathing,

Being,

Receiving.

Receiving the beauty that you are.

The work that you've done.

The growth and expansion process that you are always in.

Honor yourself.

Honor yourself for the full growth.

The full transformation.

You have done so much in nourishing yourself.

Breathe and receive the truth that you have shown up for yourself.

And see if you can allow here just a loving wash of unconditional loving energy over you.

Allowing this unconditional loving energy to pour down over the crown of your head.

Down over your shoulders.

Rolling down your arms,

Your sides,

Your back,

Your front.

All the way down to your feet.

And seeping into the earth.

This unconditional loving energy giving the butterfly within your heart space even more wind beneath their wings.

Unconditional love.

Non-judgment.

Curiosity.

Compassion.

Play.

Joy.

Allow these to be the energies that anchor you in to your upward spiral.

Breathe and receive the knowing that you will go through this butterfly journey again and again and again in so many areas of your life.

Once again the caterpillar.

Once again crawling into the chrysalis to retreat into the dark.

Unmaking yourself and emerging in a new image.

Becoming the butterfly.

You get to walk this journey as many times in your life as you need.

An infinite cycle.

An infinite span of symbolism for you to use.

How will you use this to keep spiraling upward?

Tuning into the voice of your soul to receive if there's any inner wisdom that you are ready to receive here and now.

Just asking,

Is there anything my higher self needs me to know?

Just loving yourself deeply.

As you come back into your body,

Wiggling the fingers and toes,

Anchoring back into the physical body.

Just continue to feel that unconditional love.

And remember that you can tune back into your inner butterfly and this inner imagery at any point in time.

Gently coming back to the room.

Opening the eyes.

Beginning to take in your physical space.

And once again just offering gratitude to yourself for showing up to do the work.

You've completed the journey once and you can complete it again.
