Hi love,

I'm Teresa,

And welcome to part 3 of the Permission to Expand series,

A space for choosing a life that feels like home.

Let's begin.

Take a moment to arrive in your body.

Feel the ground holding you.

Feel your breath moving gently.

Now imagine this.

You walk into a space that fits you perfectly.

Not a space you have to adjust to.

Not a space you must shrink inside.

Not a space where you measure your impact,

Or your volume,

Or your needs.

But a space that meets you,

Holds you,

Matches you.

Allow your body to imagine it in whatever way feels natural.

Room to breathe.

Room to move.

Room to rest.

Room to be fully yourself.

Notice how your chest feels in this imagined space.

How your belly softens.

How your shoulders release.

Your body knows when a space fits,

Long before your mind catches up.

Breathe into that knowing.

Now whisper inside,

I am allowed to choose a life that fits me.

Feel the resonance of that truth.

You are not here to squeeze into small containers.

You are not here to bend around others.

You are not here to perform ease or gratitude at the expense of your own comfort.

You are allowed to have space.

You are allowed to have rhythm.

You are allowed to live in a way that supports your nervous system.

And so inhale gently.

And on your exhale,

Imagine releasing one old belief about smallness.

Again,

Inhale openness.

And exhale contraction.

You do not have to live in survival mode anymore.

Breathe into the version of you who gets to choose your home,

Your energy,

Your boundaries,

Your pace,

Your joy.

And once again,

Whisper to yourself,

I am creating a life that fits me.

And feel the truth of that settling into your bones.

Thank you for practicing with me today.

This is part 3 of the Permission to Expand series.

When you're ready,

Join me for the next meditation,

Expanding Without Hustle,

Because you deserve a life that fits your whole self.

And as always,

Remember,

You are loved.

You are whole.

You are enough.
