Welcome,
Dear one.
This is your self-led morning practice,
A sacred space to begin your day connected and anchored in self-energy.
Each morning we meet one of the original qualities of your essence.
The natural energies that live within your soul.
Today we awaken confidence,
The aspect of self that knows your worth,
That stands in inner certainty,
And walks through the world with quiet assurance.
Take a moment to anchor into your seat,
Let your breath find its natural rhythm,
Flowing in and out,
Softly and gently.
With each inhale,
Arrive a little more.
With each exhale,
Release what is not needed.
As you settle inward,
Take a few moments to assess with curiosity.
Your relationship with confidence today.
How do you experience confidence in your body?
How do you experience inner certainty?
Do you feel it in your chest,
Or in your belly,
Or in your voice?
I invite you to remember a moment in your life when you felt truly confident.
Perhaps you prepared well for something,
Did a beautiful piece of work,
Or wore clothes that made you feel radiant.
Or maybe you stood up for a cause that you deeply believe in.
So let that memory of feeling good in your skin,
Feeling confident,
Return to you.
Not the story itself,
But the feeling,
The sensation in your body.
Remember,
How was it to feel confident,
Good about who you are?
We invite the body to bring back that energy,
To bring back that sensation,
To rise within you now.
And now begin to observe with curiosity,
If you're noticing that today there are some parts of you that might be clouding that embodied sense of confidence.
Maybe there is a part that feels insecure,
Not prepared enough,
Not good enough,
Not looking the way it wanted to,
Or simply just not at its best this morning.
And if you do notice some hesitation,
Some insecurity,
Welcome these parts with openness and compassion.
Let them know they are allowed to be here,
They are welcome here.
And so we don't want to turn away from these unsure parts,
We want to understand what they're holding and how we can help.
Maybe there is a young part that still feels unsure of itself.
Maybe there is someone feeling self-doubt and is scared of being rejected and judged.
Whatever arises,
We meet it with open heart and warm compassion.
Now let them know you don't need to be perfect to feel confident.
Even if you doubt yourself today,
You are still worthy.
Confidence is not the absence of self-doubt.
Confidence is remembering what it feels like in your body to trust yourself anyway.
So,
With all the love,
We want to let parts that are not feeling confident today know that that's ok.
And if they could just relax a little bit so that you can remember an experience that lives already inside,
Warm,
Certain,
That embodied knowing I am ok,
I'm good,
I am worthy.
We invite this to step forward.
And from this place we want to let all parts that doubt their worthiness,
We want to let them know you are lovable.
You don't have to be perfect.
You are welcome and you are accepted just the way you are.
Let these parts feel your presence,
Your maturity,
Your open heart and as those parts soften as they are loved and seen and accepted,
Let's focus on that sensation of confidence in your body,
That feeling as if you're standing tall in yourself,
That feeling when you're wearing best clothes that make you feel great,
Or when you're doing something you know you're best at.
It's a natural quality,
Confidence.
Welcome that sensation to flow into the body and allow it to spread through your legs.
Feeling confident in your legs.
Move up your spine,
Across the chest and into your arms.
Allow this inner knowing I am good,
I am worthy,
I am enough to move through you,
Expanding through you,
Radiating outward from you.
Let this be your frequency today.
Quiet,
Steady,
Embodied confidence.
Now,
Begin to sense your surroundings again,
The air,
The sounds,
Things around you.
Let confidence be the energy that guides your day.
Let it infuse your actions,
Your choices,
Your voice and the way you meet the world.
Take one last deep breath.
Relax.
As you exhale,
Feel yourself grounded,
Assured and ready to meet the day from yourself.
Thank you for practicing with me.
