Find a space, Both outside  And in, That’s quiet, And let yourself Just lounge there. PAUSE Allow yourself  To just kick back And totally, Completely, Relax. PAUSE Inside you, Is a different space, A different part of yourself that You push down, Or ignore, Or refuse to claim. This is your shadow self. PAUSE And your shadow self Is an important part of you, A part that can help you heal. SHORT PAUSE So, breathe. Breathe in and find your center. Breathe in and hold your calm. Breathe in and give yourself permission To acknowledge your shadow self. PAUSE Now, breathe some more, And let yourself visualize Your shadow self. What does it look like? Does it have a shape? What color is it? Simply, breathe, And observe. PAUSE Now, imagine smiling At your Shadow self, Welcoming it Into your consciousness.  PAUSE  And, while smiling, Invite your shadow self To tell you what  It wants you to know. Listen. Accept. And breathe into your emotions, To keep them calm, To keep you In a very Zen place, So you can hear. What do you hear? PAUSE Now, take a Deep, cleansing breath, A breath that allows you To see you and your shadow self As one. PAUSE And, as you breathe Let your consciousness open To healing the pain,  Or stress, Or self-doubt, Of the shadow self. PAUSE Now, find the quiet again. The quiet where you can just be. PAUSE Allow yourself to feel What it’s like to be whole, To openly embrace All parts of you. To openly nurture Those parts that need it. To truly acknowledge  How beautiful you are. To lovingly accept how perfectly imperfect you are Because That is healing, That is empowering, That is true self-love. NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL Thanks to our amazing Sponsor!
