If you're able to get in a comfortable seated position and close down the eyes, you can do that. And just starting to bring your awareness to your internal world. And seeing where you can start to just naturally soften your body a little bit. See how you can start to get a little bit more comfortable. Movements are just places to release just to settle in. And we'll take three big deep breaths together. So let's all breathe in through the nose. Hold our breath at the top. Let it go of the side. Again deeply in. Hold. Let it go. One more biggest, deepest breath all day. Hold your breath at the top. Zip in a little more air. Keep holding, feeling full, relaxing as you're holding. Exhale, let it go. Now you're gonna just start to have deep breaths at a pace that feels good for you. Slowly, deeply into the nose. Slowly, deeply out through the nose or mouth. And I invite you to bring your awareness into your heart. Not just your physical heart, but the your energetic heart. The energy deep inside of your chest that kind of holds the archetype of love in the place in your body that produces this massive electromagnetic field. Just placing your awareness, the core of your being inside your heart and breathing into that space. And just really starting to tune into that feeling of love that you have for this person or for this thing? Allowing yourself to feel that fully and even turning up the dial on it a little bit at a time. And then being curious, what are the body sensations that you're experiencing that let you know that you're feeling love? Do you feel softening? Feel the warmth. Just tuning into any sensations to feel comfortable. And as you're feeling this love toward this person or toward this thing, now we're gonna turn all of that love inward toward yourself. And allow yourself to start to receive this love that you're feeling for that other person or thing, and you're gonna start to feel it for yourself now. Just through your intention, through your visualization, and a little imagination. Breathing these sensations more deeply through your heart and through your body, emanating through the rest of your body, down your arms, shoulders, up into your head, relaxing your face and head, going down your belly and your back, letting these sensations of comfort and love just pour through your system. This is more of your ventral system. This is the part of your system that feels more calm and regulated, where so much good things happen. Letting the energy scan down through your hips and pelvis, front and back of the thighs, down to your shins, calves, feet, toes. Your whole body's feeling just enveloped with this, this comfortable love that's just pulsating through your heart. As you're feeling this love that you've directed inward. And if you're not feeling anything very strongly, that's okay. Some of these things can take a little bit of practice. So you just do your best to feel what you can feel, and if you need to imagine what it could feel like, that's that's powerful too. So just really taking a few moments to just be. Just be in this space. What does it feel like when there's just a bit of slowness, presence, and love through my system? Nowhere to be, nothing to do for these next few moments except to just allow yourself to receive this state of regulation. This is what it means to be in more of a state of nervous system regulation. Breathing it in deeply to every cell, relaxing more deeply into it, every exhale. And from this state, I invite you to start to ask yourself, what are some of the qualities of the truest version of you? Just allowing them to come into your awareness as they come. They can just start to filter in. What are the qualities of your true self that feel important for you? Just let them let them flow in no right or wrong way, just noticing them come in. I invite you to start to land on one quality that feels the most alive for you right now. What is one quality? Tuning into that quality and starting to breathe that quality into your heart and let that start to permeate the rest of your body as well, whatever quality that is, what does that feel like in your body? When you think about it, when you imagine it, what is your body posture like when that quality is flowing through you? What is your breathing like? And now I want you to imagine what you are doing in the world when you are embodying this quality. Let yourself create a vision, an image, a scene in your mind's eye. What are you doing? Who's around you? How are you behaving? Create the scene. And really just noticing how are you showing up? What do you feel in your body? What are you doing? How are you behaving? What are the people around you reacting to you like? How are you talking? How's your body moving? Just starting to feel and imagine and see all at the same time what life is like when you are allowing yourself to embody and express this true you quality in the world. Knowing that as you do this, you are literally creating new neural pathways and a new future for you to step into. Proactively creating a new future for yourself now. And you can continue to come back to this visualization in this state whenever you need. So being clear on this quality, clear on the scene of how it shows up when you're embodying this quality, letting it feel good, letting it feel alive and true for you. And now just asking yourself, what is one thing that blocks me from embodying and expressing this quality more in my life? Is it self-consciousness? Is it people pleasing? Is it procrastination? Whatever it is for you, you need to have the opportunity to allow yourself to really look at what's been blocking you. In order to move forward into the life we want, we need to know our current protective parts, our current protective mechanisms in our nervous system. We need to see it before we can change it. So allow yourself to see and feel it now. Not gonna be here forever, just allow it in. And this is how he's been trying to keep you safe for however long, maybe for a really long time. Maybe he's been doing his job since you were a little kid. Just greeting him like you would greet a young child, just with love and presence, not trying to change him, just letting him know that you see him. Letting him know that you're here and that you love him. And asking him, what do you need from me in order to feel safe enough to start to soften a little bit? See what comes. Thanking him for whatever he told you, whatever he needs. Giving him a hug if that feels good. Letting him know that you're gonna do your best every day to meet that need of whatever he needs to feel safe, to start to soften that protective pattern that's been keeping you stuck, that's been preventing you from living more of that true you quality in your life. Last thing we'll do here is allowing yourself to come up with one action step. What is one action step that you can take today to start living more of your true self quality in the world while meeting that younger part of you and their need at the same time? What is one action step you can start doing to living more of your true self? See what comes. Just being clear on that action step. Thanking this younger part of you for being seen and letting letting get support, thanking yourself for doing this work. And I invite you at your own, it's your own pace that when you open your eyes, you allow your eyes to just start to land on something in your environment that you can look at for a moment. It's gonna be orienting back to the visual field. Looking at whatever you're looking at in detail, taking it in. Also seeing if you can stay connected to your body and these these new these new awarenesses you just had, that connection to your true self. Letting that integrate in as you're back out into the world a little bit. And you feel ready, just close it out and go about your day, doing your best to stay connected to some of these new insights and shifts that you had, so they don't just become a distant memory, but they become integrated into your day, into your life, into your body. Come back to that place as often as you need.
