A guided morning prayer and meditation led by Keira Brinton that reframes resistance as a strengthening force. Using a visualization of a boxer training with resistance bands, Brinton teaches that resistance builds spiritual, emotional, and energetic "muscles" and that pushing through—rather than stalling in doubt—leads to ease and freedom. The practice includes grounding breathwork, calling in angels/guides, wrapping a resistance-filled situation in light, asking for one concrete action to take, and a closing blessing encouraging bold, grace-filled action.

Good morning, my friend. How are you? Let's just get into our bodies, get into our hearts. Placing your hand just firmly pushing against the heart. There's something about pressure and there's something about where we place our hands that brings attention. So if you want to place your hands on the heart, pushing in a bit, take a nice breath in. Getting into the heart, out of the mind. One more in and out. There we go. Starting this day, out, grounded. Starting this day out in the heart and out of the mind. There we go. Loud exhale. Let it vibrate through your body. One more. Ah, there we go. All right, so let's call in our spiritual team. Let's call in our angels and our guides and those who are here to support us, those who are here to hold us in love, to guide us to. To answer questions that we may have and to open up pathways for the life that we wanna live. So we're gonna invite them to come and hold space with us. I want you to feel this spiritual support. You may not see them. I don't see my angels. I don't. I feel and I hear. So you may see them. Maybe this is your gift. You may see them, you may not. It doesn't matter. Calling them in with our intention is all that is needed. Okay, so we're gonna call them in and we're gonna ask that they'll. That they will show us exactly what needs to be done today in this morning practice. And then we're going to bless our bodies. We're going to ask. The light will touch our ears so we can spiritually hear what needs to be heard. The light will touch our third eyes, that we'll have access to all of our spiritual gifts. I want you seeing visions. I want you hearing the divine. I want you hearing your own inner truth. Okay, so this is why we're waking up your third eye chakra. We're going to ask. That light will cleanse your lips. Our lips. Both lips. So we speak only what needs to be spoken. That the words that we speak may become true in and through divine light. What is the practice today? Okay, I'm seeing a strange vision, so I'm going to speak it. And as I speak it, we'll be able to see what it's supposed to do. So immediately I was shown a boxer and like a boxing ring, and I was shown that for the first. What is it like, few months of his training or her training that there were these resistance bands placed on the wrists and every time they went to punch the resistance band Pull it back, pull it back, pull it back, pull it back. Which was really frustrating and really exhausting until finally, after months and months of this, the resistance bands are taken off and everything became so much easier. Right? Not only did the resistance bands create then the expression of ease, but the resistance bands built up this really powerful strength. What does this mean for us today? I want you to close your eyes and go in your heart and just look at maybe an area that you feel like you've been battling resistance. And instead of being frustrated with it, instead of being annoyed with it, instead of beating yourself up or shaming yourself, that you're getting stuck in resistance. The message that I'm hearing is the resistance is building your muscles, and soon they will be freed, and you will have this experience of complete and total ease. But with so much strength, the resistance built up. Strength. I've never seen this before. I love this because resistance has such a bad taste in my mouth most of the time. I don't like it. I don't like resistance, but I love that this practice is coming in, saying that there are times when the resistance is for your good. So stop looking at it as a negative thing, stop trying to resist it, stop trying to blow through it, and trust the process. Trust that the resistance is here for you, and you can trust that you are gaining muscles that you wouldn't have had before, but only if you keep going. Oh, that's the message. That's the message. Okay, so if you were the boxer with the resistance bands, but you never punched, the resistance bands just hold you back and nothing gets stronger, and you don't experience the ease that's on the other side. That's the message. So when resistance comes, do not let it stop. You push through the resistance. That's how you gain your muscles, and then that's what's going to create the freedom on the other side. Oh, I love, love that. Oh, oh, oh, I love that. Okay, so you're gonna breathe in. Let's look at an area that you feel like you've been battling resistance. Like, oh, there's so much resistance here. I can't seem to move through it. What's the first thing that comes to your mind? Okay, you're gonna wrap this situation in light. You're gonna put it on the altar, and you're gonna ask God to help you take wild action. Even with the resistance facing against you, even with the resistance bands trying to keep you back, we're going to ask that you'll be shown one action that's going to take you to the next level of building your spiritual, emotional, energetic mental muscles, preparing you for what is coming to you. Ah, there's something great coming to you. But to be able to do that, you need these muscles. The resistance is prepping and preparing you for what is ahead. I like this practice. Okay. Placing that situation on the altar, open your palms, ask God, what's the one action you can do? All right. Wrapping it in love, handing it over. All right. The thing I keep hearing is the thing that's stopping you from taking action in the midst of resistance is questioning. Questioning if this was. This is the right step. Is this the right step? All that's bullshit. If you got an answer, move forward. When you question it, you're letting the resistance win. Questioning is the messy place. You receive. You do. You receive. You do. Remember what I learned from Joan of Arc? Can I remember the words? What were the words that she said? She said the. I can't remember the exact words, but it was something to the effect of the space. Oh, here. These are the words she just came in. The space between receiving and action is the place where you become a slave to fear. Damn, I've been doing that lately. Have you been doing that? Right? Where you receive inspiration and then you take action. The longer you're in that space, you become a slave to fear. Fear has no hold on us. We have amazing things to do in this world. You receive. You do. You receive. You do. It's like that. Okay, so today is a new shift in perspective on our relationship to resistance. Knowing that if you let resistance stop you from then, it won. But if you push through the resistance, it allows you to gain muscles that you didn't have before. Prepping and preparing you for what is ahead. And then you will be freed from that resistance. And it will be an ease and a grace and a flow like you've never experienced. Oh, holy hell. Yes. This is my favorite practice so far. Yes. Yes, yes. I want you to take a nice breath in letting this land in your body, asking your angels to help you take this wild action right here, right now, under grace in the most beautiful ways. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Beautiful. I love it. All right, my dear friend, I love you. Today is a day of miracles. Today is a day of wonder. Today is a day of expansion and enlightenment. Today is a day of divine inspiration, intuition, and vision. So step forward as the leader of light that you are. Step forward as the brilliant being that you were created to be. And today will be a day of absolute wonder. I will see you tonight.
