Find a quiet, comfortable space

that is just for you.

Settle in and relax.

PAUSE

Take a breath and let your shoulders sink.

Let your chest relax.

Feel your whole body

just easing up. 

Just relaxing.

PAUSE

Now, see if you imagine 

looking back into your past,

and finding one key moment–

A difficult time.

See yourself at that time.

PAUSE

Breathe.

And call to yourself

in that difficult time.

You may see yourself sad or hurting,

angry or confused,

or even stuck and without motivation.

Reach out to yourself.

PAUSE

Imagine pulling yourself close.

What would you tell yourself about this difficult time?

How did it change you?

What could you do to help them?

Whisper your answer.

PAUSE

Now, breathe deep,

and imagine another period of challenge in your life. 

Another period where you would like to

reach out to your past self

and talk with them.

PAUSE

Find yourself in that challenging period.

How did you look back then?

How were you feeling?

Take the hands of your past self,

and hold them

while offering advice.

What could they do in this situation?

Let them know it will be all right.

PAUSE

Breathe,

And let one more difficult experience in your past

come before you.

Only this time, listen.

Listen to what your past self

says you are learning from this challenge.

Did you really learn that?

See the strengths in your past self

that got you through the challenge.

PAUSE 

Take a moment,

and find your way back to the present.

Sit for a minute with these experiences.

Breathe in what they taught you.

Breathe in what strengths you brought to them.

Breathe in your gratitude for where you are now,

and where you can go because of them.

Honor these parts of you going forward.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
