A short guided-meditation monologue that directs the listener to focus on breath and the solar plexus, then to explore a buried or unclear need within an important relationship by breathing into the question, permitting fantasies, and imagining telling the other person that you don't know exactly what you need.
Let your tension start by going to your solar plexus and feeling the way you're breathing and how it's impacting that whole area of your body. And as you breathe in, just feel the sensation of whether or not the breath feels like it's flowing, or whether it's being constricted in any way, whether it's going deeply, whether it's going softly, and just allow your tension to go there for a few seconds. Now, let yourself go back to a place where you don't know what you need, where you're in a relationship that really matters to you and you cannot tell what you need. And it's important. It's not a trivial area that you just know you need something, but you can't reach the place where you can have a sense of what that need is. And really spend some seconds going into the experience of belonging to feel what that need is, but the incapacity to come up with it in your conscious mind. And as you inquire into what that situation is, just keep going into the one that matters most to you. Just keep dwelling. And know that not only now, but you're going to keep giving yourself permission to do this on an ongoing basis, because it is an important need to you, even though you can't discover what it is. Or perhaps it's even a combination of several needs that you haven't discovered. So keep going deeper and deeper as you breathe. Breathe deeper and deeper into the question, what is it that I really need? What's my best intuitive guess as to what the need is that's buried underneath this vague series of feelings to where I can't quite tell what is it that would satisfy this longing in my core? And now let yourself express to the person that you feel this towards, that you're not sure what it is that you need? So imagine yourself going up towards the individual and saying straightforwardly, I'm trying to discover what it is that I need, but I'm not sure what I need, but I know I need something. And just see how that feels. Just take the time to actually acknowledge that you don't know what you need as you're doing that. Allow fantasies to emerge if they come and let yourself. Now, if there are fantasies, give yourself permission to share those with that same person. I'm having fantasies. I don't know whether it's real, but this is what I'm imagining it could be. And I don't want to commit to it perhaps, but I want you to know that I'm having fantasies this could be the need or a combination of needs. And then allow yourself to feel. Does that feel like it's true? Do you feel like you're actually reaching a place?
