When you are the leader, the space holder, the one who holds it all together it can be difficult to step back from that reality and allow yourself to receive support.
In this rest practice, I invite you to offer yourself what you so consistently deliver to everyone else: support, space, and care.
One way to first accept this invitation is to simply play the audio in the background of your life. Listen to my voice. Notice and feel if there’s resonance for you.
Trust whatever you discern.
After that you can lean a little further in to this invitation by sitting in your favorite chair, softening your gaze or closing your eyes if that feels safe to you. From there follow along as I guide you to be aware of the support of the chair, place your hand near your heart center, and become aware of your breath supporting your body.
The next layer and level of this invitation is to ease back even further, lay down or practice supine and rest.
This titrated method of accepting this invitation allows you- the one always on, always holding, always supporting, to slowly and with intention communicate to your nervous system that you, can, in fact be held, and supported in rest too. That it is safe to do so.
You have a lifetime to unlearn the grind. To relearn how to be held. And you get to do that slowly, intentionally, and with care.
I am honored to be your guide in remembering this sacred truth:
You are supported. You are held.
This practice is perfect for leaders, creatives, and anyone looking to transform their relationship with rest as a pathway to authentic power, creativity, and expanded awareness.
