Hi there, Happy valentine's day. What are you hearing my voice for the first time in basically a year, absolute ******* lutely. Who baby? It's been a year, hasn't it? Anyways, um quickly to tell you that the aim is to come back. It's been a long year and a lot has happened, not just for me but for you and for the world. So I think that needs to be addressed, but what I want to do today is send you some love and I want you to cultivate some love for yourself. So this isn't going to be long, it's not going to be scripted because that's not how we do it here, but it is going to hopefully give you oh a little bit of peace, A little bit of a virtual hug. Like wrapping yourself in a cocoon and feeling really good. So take a deep breath in letting it out awesome. Find very comfortable place for you to be whether that's seated or laying down if want to stand on top of your head, I'm cool with that too. You just need to take you know, a couple of moments as I'm rambling at you and find your place, find a place that you feel safe and grounded and can find a little bit of stillness. Those wiggles out, know that you can always do the wiggles throughout and come back to that breath no control right now. Maybe you can feel the breath with a hand on the belly. Maybe you can feel your heartbeat, maybe visualizing some red, pink, purple breath shaped like hearts moving in through the nose, out through the mouth or however naturally feels good to breathe for you? So letting go of that control, really coming into your body and the process and the place it's at right now, it might be a little bit anxious, that's okay, acknowledge that, give yourself space to really feel that and it can be so uncomfortable and then on your exhale, what I want you to do is think about filling the next inhale with a lot of love on your inhale here, breathe in so many good things. So I'm going to say what those good things could be, but I want you to just keep focusing on your inhale. Lot of love on your exhale, letting go of things you don't need or just exhaling, but you come into the rhythm of your breath while I offer you some suggestions for your in house. Maybe on your inhale you want to send love to your toes, helping you balance. Maybe you're inhaling and feeling the love for your creativity, your innovation, inhaling your compassion and maybe maybe just maybe on your inhale, you're feeling love for just getting through the next breath the next minute our sending love to yourself for surviving last year and knowing that that's enough. I take one more big inhale, feel your entire body expand, maybe struggle a little bit, pull it and pull it and pull it in big but controlled. Exhale here, soften everything, knowing that you got through the last year and you can still come into that softness the world has it made you hard. You're full of love for yourself and that love for yourself, then can feed into the other things. You love the other humans. You love your pets, your passions. And that is a radical of self love is radical and that is where you're at, right at this moment. Start to let that breath just taper coming into whatever rhythm it needs to if you need to just or wiggle if your eyes have been closed and you want to open them if they've been open and you want to close them, just going to take a moment and feel exactly how you're feeling and maybe that's not full of self love. And that's okay too because giving space for every emotion, acknowledging how you're feeling exactly in the moment is actually a powerful tool of self love and that's it come out of this slowly however you need big stretches, small wiggles, you're on your back. Maybe you're rolling to the side, you might feel really energized and just jump up and want to go. But it's for you. The last couple minutes have all been for you and as always, I'm so thankful to have you listening and breathing and being here, we'll talk soon
