Let's learn to

dance. with

2:02

its rhythm, navigating

2:04

it with grace,

2:07

courage and self-trust.

2:09

Just by being

2:12

who we are,

2:14

strong, resilient, and

2:17

resourceful. So when

2:19

you're ready to

2:22

begin, remember meditation

2:24

is not complicated.

2:27

Just find somewhere

2:29

comfortable to sit

2:32

or to lie

2:34

and give yourself

2:37

a few moments

2:39

to become settled.

2:42

Relaxed. With me

2:44

take a breath

2:47

slowly and gently.

2:49

And just for

2:52

a few moments,

2:54

observe the breath

2:57

entering and leaving.

2:59

your body. You

3:02

may notice some

3:04

tension perhaps in

3:07

your muscles or

3:09

a busy mind.

3:12

You may already

3:14

identify that inner

3:17

child within that

3:19

finds it difficult

3:22

to be calm.

3:24

But take time.

3:28

and rest yourself.

3:30

And then continue

3:32

being the observer,

3:34

taking notice, slowly

3:36

starting from the

3:38

top of your

3:40

head, and together

3:42

we can scan

3:44

down through your

3:46

body, noticing any

3:48

tension, tightness. Maybe

3:50

you could drop

3:52

your shoulders. Relax

3:59

your biceps. Try

4:01

and make your

4:04

arms heavy. Perhaps

4:06

you can just

4:09

slow the breath

4:12

a little more

4:14

that you're comfortable.

4:17

Close your eyes

4:19

and let the

4:22

cheek and the

4:24

cheek bones begin

4:27

to relax. and

4:32

your jawline. So

4:34

the jaw is

4:36

not tense or

4:38

tight. And begin

4:41

to notice slowly

4:43

the control. See

4:45

if you can

4:47

notice a rhythm

4:50

in your breath

4:52

as you and

4:54

I breathe together.

4:56

Breathing in calm.

5:00

and breathing out

5:03

any tension. Relaxing

5:06

through your chest,

5:09

your torso, your

5:12

hips, the cheeks

5:14

of your bottom,

5:17

your legs. Just

5:20

being the observer.

5:27

I would always like

5:29

to recommend that central

5:32

line, and imaginary line,

5:34

going down from the

5:36

highest point in your

5:39

head, like a core

5:41

of an apple. And

5:43

in your mind's eye,

5:46

just take it down

5:48

behind your eyes and

5:50

nose, between your ears,

5:53

behind your mouth. Very

5:55

good. through the center

5:57

of your throat. between

6:02

your legs

6:04

and establish

6:06

that core

6:08

in your

6:11

mind's eye.

6:13

Now you

6:15

can use

6:17

it. Bring

6:20

your head

6:22

to float

6:24

on your

6:26

shoulders. Not

6:28

too far

6:31

forward or

6:33

back. Neither

6:35

left nor

6:37

right. Find

6:40

that sweet

6:42

spot. That

6:44

woo way,

6:46

that flow.

6:49

Same with

6:51

your shoulders.

6:53

Not one

6:55

higher than

6:58

the other.

7:00

And only you

7:03

will know that

7:05

sweet spot. Your

7:08

chest and your

7:10

hips. So whatever

7:13

position you've chosen,

7:15

you are in

7:18

balance. And that

7:20

will allow us

7:23

today. Allow us

7:25

to step together

7:28

into the quiet

7:31

embrace. infinite possibility,

7:33

where the tides

7:36

of change meet

7:38

the shores of

7:41

our resilience. This

7:43

teaching can transform

7:46

fear into curiosity

7:48

and uncertainty into

7:51

our boundless potential.

7:59

As you more

8:01

balanced, gently place

8:04

your hand over

8:06

the century of

8:09

your chest and

8:11

whisper inwardly to

8:14

your inner child.

8:16

Beloved little one.

8:19

Your worries are

8:21

the shadows of

8:23

our unful dreams.

8:28

I am your

8:31

guardian and protector,

8:34

guiding you with

8:37

our innate inner

8:40

wisdom and our

8:43

unwavering care and

8:46

connection to our

8:49

shared spirituality. Little

8:52

One. We are

8:55

one. We

8:58

are a team.

9:01

And within the

9:04

century, have our

9:07

uniqueness, resides something

9:09

so powerful, a

9:12

radiant star, illuminating

9:15

the path. Can

9:18

you picture this

9:21

as a light?

9:24

A gentle flame.

9:30

And notice, it

9:33

is unaffected by

9:35

the winds of

9:37

uncertainty. This is

9:40

our birthright, spreading

9:42

warmth and guidance

9:45

throughout our being.

9:47

It is unique.

9:50

It is personal.

9:52

It cannot be

9:55

touched. situation that

9:57

we will encounter.

10:00

Like a leaf

10:02

upon a serene

10:05

stream, being carried

10:07

effortlessly by the

10:09

current. Take a

10:12

breath and relax.

10:14

There's no need

10:17

to fight. There's

10:19

no need to

10:22

resist. We can

10:24

trust in the

10:27

waters. knowing

10:30

it flows

10:32

toward harmony,

10:34

toward purpose.

10:36

This is

10:38

our unique

10:40

path, a

10:42

path of

10:44

woo-way, a

10:46

flow to

10:48

reach our

10:50

full potential.

10:52

This moment

10:54

is like

10:56

a pearl.

10:58

and complete,

11:00

a pearl

11:02

strung on

11:04

an infinite

11:06

thread of

11:08

the now.

11:10

The now

11:12

is the

11:14

opportunity that

11:16

life offers

11:18

us. Together

11:20

let us

11:22

cradle it

11:25

with reverence.

11:28

knowing that within

11:30

this moment and

11:33

this breath lies

11:36

all that we

11:39

seek. We have

11:42

everything within us.

11:44

Perhaps we can

11:47

imagine a delicate

11:50

scale within us

11:53

on one side.

11:57

Place the weight

12:00

of your emotional

12:02

fear. and anxiety.

12:05

And on the

12:08

other side, the

12:11

shimmering spiritual essence

12:13

of your hopes

12:16

and dreams. Picture

12:19

that scale now.

12:22

Watch as it

12:25

settles into a

12:31

like a

12:33

sacred dance

12:35

of caution

12:37

and possibility.

12:40

And as

12:42

you notice

12:44

the skull

12:46

begins to

12:48

settle and

12:50

slow. The

12:52

inner child

12:54

can often

12:56

cling to

12:58

try and

13:00

gain control.

13:02

security to

13:04

be certain

13:06

future-proofed? And

13:08

as you

13:10

observe or

13:12

breathe, perhaps

13:14

you'll notice

13:16

this need

13:18

for control

13:20

is what

13:22

tips the

13:24

scales into

13:26

fear and

13:28

anxiety. It's

13:31

what moves your

13:33

way and disconnects

13:36

from our spiritual

13:38

birthright. And be

13:40

with a child.

13:43

Be with your

13:45

inner child. And

13:47

dig deep and

13:50

reflect on the

13:52

reasons why. Why

13:54

creates these emotions

13:56

of fear or

13:59

anxiety? Perhaps

14:02

about failure. about

14:05

failure, rejection, maybe

14:08

not being not

14:10

being able to cope. with life's

14:13

unknown outcomes. And

14:15

this is where your

14:19

And this is where

14:21

your re -parenting skills

14:23

can come in. in,

14:25

whispering inwardly, to of part

14:27

of yourself. Little

14:30

one. I see

14:32

you. you, I hear

14:34

14:37

guide and

14:47

protect you.

14:50

But as you

14:52

focus, focus, then we

14:54

breathe together. then we

14:57

breathe Notice

15:57

are not the enemy.

16:01

or something that can be can

16:04

be eradicated.

16:06

Because the unknown

16:09

is the know

16:11

16:14

journey. But we can

16:16

do it differently,

16:19

But we can do it differently.

us the time

22:03

to change is

22:05

now. Control what

22:08

we can and

22:10

release what we

22:12

cannot. As we

22:14

meditate together, as

22:16

you focus your

22:19

awareness in this

22:21

moment, notice the

22:23

rhythm of your

22:25

breath. Notice how

22:27

you can change

22:30

the sensation of

22:32

your body. Notice

22:34

the emotions you

22:36

can create in

22:38

this moment. Because

22:41

in this moment

22:43

you can remind

22:45

yourself. This moment

22:47

is all that

22:49

exists. And I

22:52

can choose to

22:54

be here fully.

22:56

I can choose

22:58

to trust the

23:01

flow of my

23:03

life. I can

23:05

walk this new

23:07

path with truth,

23:09

honesty and integrity.

23:12

And here is

23:14

where you can

23:16

reparent your inner

23:18

child. As they

23:20

learning and growing,

23:23

sometimes their mind

23:25

wonders. wonders

23:27

towards what-if scenarios.

23:29

And you can

23:31

hold their hand

23:33

and gently guide

23:35

them back into

23:37

the now. You

23:39

can whisper inwardly

23:41

right now. We

23:43

are always together

23:45

as one. When

23:48

we choose to

23:50

be in the

23:52

present in the

23:54

now. We are

23:56

in the known

23:58

and will deal

24:00

with anything that

24:02

comes our way.

24:04

We can stay

24:06

in balance by

24:08

lightly observing worst-case

24:10

scenarios best-case scenarios

24:12

and making our

24:14

choice. Making our

24:16

choice remembering there

24:18

is a third

24:20

way, the flow,

24:23

the will way,

24:25

our unique path.

24:27

We can affirm.

24:30

I honor both

24:32

possibilities of caution

24:34

and possibility, but

24:36

right now I

24:38

can create a

24:41

third, unique, balanced

24:43

path. That is

24:45

right for me.

24:47

And the greatest

24:49

gift we can

24:51

give our little

24:54

one is truth,

24:58

integrity. being

25:01

the reliable guidance,

25:04

the rock, the

25:07

stability they've always

25:10

craved. And we

25:13

25:16

moment to reflect

25:19

on the inner

25:21

wisdom. reconnected with

25:24

25:27

will know, deep

25:30

25:36

this journey. Your

25:39

shed spirit and

25:42

the teachings of

25:45

Wuwai are your

25:47

steadfast companions. As

25:50

you walk this

25:53

path. It

25:57

will be illuminated by the

25:59

wisdom. of

26:01

your uniqueness. You

26:03

will flow in

26:06

your current. The

26:08

unknown is always

26:10

the unknown. It

26:12

is not a

26:14

void or a

26:16

pit of despair.

26:18

But coming from

26:20

this wisdom, this

26:22

inner knowing, it

26:24

can be a

26:26

canvas. A new

26:29

canvas upon which

26:31

you can paint

26:34

your dreams and

26:36

truths. And you

26:38

connect to who

26:41

you really are

26:43

for your birthright.

26:45

You can trust

26:47

your Shen will

26:50

guide you through

26:52

all of life's

26:54

unfolding mysteries. You

26:58

can welcome uncertainty

27:00

as a doorway.

27:02

A doorway to

27:04

infinite growth. You

27:06

are part of

27:09

the river. You

27:11

are effortlessly aligned

27:13

with a Tao.

27:15

You can release

27:17

trying to control

27:19

what you can

27:22

control, and focus

27:24

on what you

27:26

can. transforming

27:28

fear into excitement.

27:31

And right now,

27:33

you can welcome

27:36

the adventure of

27:39

life. Remember, the

27:41

universe flows through

27:44

you. You are

27:46

part of nature.

27:49

You are not

27:51

apart from it.

27:58

You are receiving. You

28:04

have unknown treasures.

28:06

I need to

28:09

step forward on

28:11

this new path,

28:13

this path of

28:15

flow, of will

28:17

way, or opens

28:20

up your inner

28:22

strength. It's always

28:24

been there. It's

28:26

never deserted you.

28:32

And so as

28:34

we come towards

28:36

the end of

28:38

the meditation, breathe

28:40

deeply, go deep

28:43

inside and find

28:45

that sacred place

28:47

where you can

28:49

effortlessly align with

28:51

life's rhythms. And

28:53

just before we

28:55

finish, we can

28:57

scan the body.

29:00

One more time.

29:03

We don't rush, we

29:05

don't force, we're in

29:08

the flow. And even

29:11

now, if your little

29:13

one requires reassurance, practice

29:16

the inner smile. Hold

29:18

them closely. You are

29:21

a team. You cannot

29:24

be separate. You cannot

29:26

be separate. You cannot

29:29

be separate. You cannot

29:31

be separate. This

29:35

is your

29:37

unique journey.

29:39

Hold them

29:41

closely. And

29:43

continue together.

29:45

So before

29:47

I count

29:49

you out,

29:51

let's just

29:53

breathe. How

29:55

deep can

29:57

you go?

30:04

Can you touch that

30:06

inner light in a light?

30:08
