Hey there, my friend, and welcome to Wake Me Up.
Go ahead and get settled in a couple of.
comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in.
This meditation is designed to guide you back to your center of strength and steadiness.
So that even in times of stress, you can remain grounded and resilient by finding peace,
calm, and strength within.
And once you've settled into that comfortable position, take a nice slow breath in.
filling all the way up and then exhale, let it out even slower.
Allow your eyes to close.
With each breath, feel yourself arriving more fully into this moment,
letting everything else in the outside world fade away for now.
Any tension in your body and without forcing anything,
invite the muscles of your face to relax.
your jaw to soften and your shoulders to drop all the way down.
Let yourself settle into stillness, breathing naturally at whatever pace and depth feels effortless
to you.
Imagine inhaling, exhaling out any tightness, concerns, or worries.
as each breath passes and you sink deeper and deeper within.
Notice how you are always in control of your inner world.
You are safe.
You are supported and you are in control of your experience of life.
No matter what's going on in the outside world, no matter what challenges life brings.
the strength you need has always lived within you.
It may not feel obvious all the time,
but just like the earth beneath your feet,
that strength within is steady and unwavering.
So take another breath in,
deeper and slower this time,
and feel that strength awakening inside of you.
And as you connect to this inner source of power, remember that both light and dark must exist together.
Joy and hardship, certainty, and doubt.
They are two sides of the same coin.
There has to be bad in order to have good.
The world of only light or only dark would be totally.
void and uninteresting.
It's in the contrast and the shadows that life is experienced.
And by accepting this balance, you allow yourself to flow with life instead of resisting it.
We grow not in spite of our challenges, but because of them.
Take another even deeper breath in.
welcoming this understanding into your heart.
And as you exhale, let go of any doubts or fears that things won't work out,
that you're not capable of managing the storms of life.
To fortify this belief and understanding of your own inner strength.
I invite you to repeat the following mantras.
I am steady, I am strong, I am steady, I am strong.
Feel these truths, settling deeper into your mind, body, and spirit.
Take one more nourishing breath in.
The deepest breath you've taken yet today.
Exhale, slowly.
And simply notice how you feel right now.
Notice the change in your being.
Just from when you began meditating, notice the strength and steadiness you've cultivated.
And remember that you carry this energy with you, always.
Whenever you're ready, you can slowly begin to wake your body back up.
Just bringing some gentle movement, noticing the air on your skin, and any sounds in the room around you.
gently, slowly, opening your eyes and returning to your day.
May you move forward with resilience, strength, peace, and calm, no matter what comes your way.
I thank you for meditating with me, for cultivating peace in a chaotic world.
And I encourage you to share this episode with someone to whom you wish strength, peace,
peace and ease in life.
That simple act, which just takes a second,
is spreading peace in this world.
And that is what we need more of.
I'll see you back here tomorrow on Wake Me Up.
And until then, go out and have an absolutely fantastic day.
