And I'm probably, I'm working on two different podcasts, which will probably, one will probably go up tomorrow.

Full-length ones. So this is a power-up, kind of a meditation.

So get comfy and maybe close your eyes.

So this is a meditation that is for anyone that's feeling like assaulted by life, maybe something didn't go according to plan,

and or you're facing a big scary change, one that is shaking kind of your core beliefs about yourself.

Something outside of you has given you some reason to believe you're not the same person.

Some sort of character judgment.

This is a meditation or reflection that's about unclenching, kind of finding the pain and that feeling in your body in your physical body and just relaxing into it

and letting it go. Right now I want you to do like a body scan just from the top of your head slowly moving

down your neck scan your

chest inside of the barrel of your chest and just look for

what is

tight but is stuck.

What part of you is tense? Is it in your throat? Is it your

chest? Is it the pit of your belly? Are you kind of purled over, protecting part of your belly?

Whatever it is, I want you to question, how is it feeling? What would you give that sensation? What name? Is it

hurt or is it vulnerability? Is it fear?

Is it fear?

What is it? What is stuck in your body?

Whatever it is, whatever emotion vaguely resembles it, I want you to call that out as what has brought you here today.
