Dear one,
Sweet one,
Brave one,
Beloved:
How very wise and strong you are, meeting this moment, this choice, this decision.
There is so much courage in coming to claim each Yes, and each No.
May you feel the power of your No, and remember this is also the power of your Yes.
May you trust your body, and may your body be trustworthy.
May you trust the wisdom that has brought you to this moment.
May the care you receive be, indeed, full of care.
May protection and safety envelop you.
May you breathe, and know you are held.
With each inhale, may you receive what you need.
With each exhale, may you release what does not serve you.
May you be free from pain.
May you feel Spirit, guiding and guarding you.
May you feel Earth, and the wisdom of seasons and cycles, ebbing and flowing, rising and falling.
May you rest, go slow, and honor whatever space you need.
May you have what you need to feel each longing, each possibility, each release.
May you remember the long, deep lineage of those of us who are with you, have gone before you, are honoring and welcoming you into this We.
May you know how far from alone you are.
May you hold softly, any fear, any grief.
May any remnants of shame, from others or from within, hush, hush, hush.
May you hear only the possibilities opening, more possible, now.
May you cradle, tenderly, your own flesh.
May you feel permission to celebrate this ending, and the beginnings you are now seeding.
May you root in your dreams – however clear or mysterious – of the life you are choosing, crafting, protecting, creating.
May you remember the preciousness of your life – your unique, wild, beautiful life.
