Sleep Now - 6.5 - Taping Into the Power of the Universe - Visualization

I invite you to let the sound of my voice guide you deeper into yourself. Let the resonance as it reaches out to you and you hear it landing in your head. Invite you to be present with your body and give yourself just a few minutes to tune in and experience the day differently. Sometimes just a couple minutes can totally transform the way your day goes. We certainly notice that when something bad happens, you could be having a great day and then something bad happens and all of a sudden you're in a bad space for the rest of the day. So let's allow that to happen for the good things too. You're taking out a few minutes of your day to nurture yourself and set the tone. It's kind of like before you make a big trip. Honestly, 12 to 16 hours is a pretty long drive in a car. You'd probably look at a map and kind of see what kind of terrain you'd going through, what the weather may be like, and if you should pack some snacks where the breaks might be. And we're not saying you have to plan out your day that carefully, but you can definitely set the tone and decide where your focus would like to be for the day. So take another nice deep breath and just be present with your body. Let my voice guide you back to your body. And now wiggle your toes, move your jaw, wiggle your butt. Just get in your body. Just kind of like you're putting on a nice comfy pair of shoes, the ones that kind of support and nurture you and help you get move a little bit easier. Stepping into your body. Most of us live outside of our body almost all the time, and being in our body is where our power is. Invite the energy of your body to flow into you and you to flow into your body and integrate. Become one and invite your body energy and all this new energy to be part of you and to help you set the intentions. It might be that you have a bunch of ordinary tasks to do, or you might have something bigger you want to get accomplished. One thing I invite you to do is try to get your priorities done first. I've often been in the mindset where I would have to get all these other things done so I could really focus. And then I never got around to the thing that was most important to me. So if you can imagine pouring all those noisy things, like the laundry has to be folded and put away, and I've got to answer that phone call and I've got to do all these other little things, imagine pouring them into this beautiful basket and you're just going to gently set it aside. And the intention is to get to some of those things. But you want to focus on the thing that will be the needle mover for you, the things that will really change the way you experience life and the way you affect other people around you. And actually listening to this right now is a really good way to start because you're calming and grounding, you're changing your energy for the day. So I invite you to pick one thing that if you got it done, you would be proud of the day. And if you can make it a small thing that you can really feel good about, it could be that you've been meaning to talk to your mother about visiting and you have some boundaries you want to set. It could be a five minute call, or it could be a little bit longer, it doesn't matter. But pick something that's not going to take 12 hours if you can help it, because it's hard to feel successful, then. So pick something that will take maybe 20 minutes at the most that you really care about getting done. It might be the first outline of a chapter in a book that you want to write. It could be a phone call. It could be something that's been really weighing on you that you need to get done. Whatever it is, just picture that task in front of you clearly and then notice that you don't have to be out of your body when you look at that. You can be present with your body and let that fuel you. Let the power of your body help you. And then I'd like you to extend your focus out a little bit further and notice that there's all this energy swirling around you. Beautiful. There's some stressful. There's all different kinds of energies. And you're just going to invite the energy that will most help you complete this task to fill you. You're just going to allow the universe to pour it into you. And you can envision it however you like. But I love to imagine this golden light starting at my toes and just fil. Filling me up, filling me up all the way to the top, all through my ankles and my calves, my knees, through my thighs. And there's some places where I feel a little resistance and I let that golden light kind of seep in and saturate and relax. Even like your thigh bones, if you've been walking around a lot, they might be tired. Let that energy soak in and nurture them and let it continue filling you up through your butt and your pelvis, your hips, your stomach. And your back. Just let it fill you up through your chest and your shoulders and have it run down your arms and it might even tickle a little bit in a really fun way. Filling up your fingertips and your hands that work so hard, and then your wrists, that golden energy just filling them up and flowing up your forearms and your elbows. You may want to stretch your arms as you feel that, and let the energy really soak in, up through your upper arms and back up to your shoulders where they meet the other energy and it flows up across your tops of your shoulders, up your neck, through your jaw, and really let that soak into your jaw muscles. If you're tight, let the golden energy just soak in and soothe and let it continue flowing up through your head, across your face, the back of your neck, the back of your head, your forehead, all the way across where it meets. Just take a nice deep breath and then notice how being filled with this golden energy tunes you into some really beautiful energies outside of yourself. Just let yourself dance in that for a minute. If you want to move your body and sway it a little bit. That might feel nice, but just let all that energy tune in and fill you up. And then invite that energy to first nurture your body, relax it and soothe the aches and pains. Just be present with you for a minute and then invite the energy that's not healing you to tune to this task that you've picked for yourself. This priority. Invite it to help you with this. Invite it to align with your purpose. And imagine that if you had all this energy inside and out, your outside of your body and the energy of your body all aligned with this next task, how powerful would that be? How would it feel to do that task? It's almost like you had to move houses and you suddenly went from a five foot five person to a giant. You could just lift up the entire house and move it. It's all done. So I invite you to let this energy tune you. And if there's anything that's out of alignment with the task that you set for yourself with your priority, let the energy draw your attention to it and give you new clarity. Huh? I thought I was going to start that book with this chapter, but I'm feeling like this would be much more powerful. I'm changing that bullet point. Or wow. I thought I was going to call my mom and be angry with her, but maybe I could start off with appreciating her, whatever that is. And it might be that you have to be firmer with your mom and Set a clear boundary. There's no right or wrong. You're allowing this energy to tune you and guide you. And then what we're going to invite you to do is when we close this guided visualization, I'd like you to take a nice slow, deep breath and then give yourself the time to actually create this. Spend the 20 minutes or whatever you said it was. You don't have to even finish it all the way, but get started on it and then celebrate. Really appreciate that you took steps on something and you built up your muscle. Maybe you really wanted to do a pull up and all you did was get on the bar and kind of pull your strain on your muscles. But those muscles are getting stronger and each time you do this, you'll move forward a little bit faster. And then one day you'll really surprise yourself and find that it's not hard at all to do a pull up. Whatever your goal is, you can use not only your body's energy, but the energy of the universe inside and out of your body to create whatever it is you most want to create. You've done such a good job with this program. You've nurtured yourself. You have loved yourself. You've brought new energy and focus to yourself. And the world needs what you're bringing too. So the entire universe is celebrating you right this minute. So take another nice deep breath. As you breathe in the energy of the universe, notice how it dances with the energy of your body and all this energy that you just filled your body up with. And I'd like to invite you to gently come back to more awareness of your surroundings. Notice how your arms feel on the chair. If that's where you're sitting. Let the sounds around you come to you. The car driving by or the dog barking, or the air conditioning in the background. And if your eyes are closed, gently open your eyes and notice that you did a really good job. And the world gets to feel differently when you're in this space. You get to choose and make powerful decisions and not be so overwhelmed. You can allow this focus to go through and you can say, that basket of noisy things over there, I'm going to let it sit there quietly while I get this done. And then I'm going to pull things out one at a time and get them complete, doing a really good job. We're so proud of you. Thank you so much for being part of this course. And we hope that it's changed your life in profound and beautiful ways. Some of them may be subtle. Sometimes we don't always notice how much something's changed us until we think back to where we were before. So one of the best ways you can ever celebrate is to remember before you did it. How did you feel? How did you feel before you completed this course? Did you feel more rattled, more exhausted, a little bit hopeless? Are you allowing yourself to feel the nurturing of sleep, even if you haven't got all the patterns down yet, but you know what you can do to help yourself, that's powerful. And we really appreciate your courage and your dedication and the beauty of who you are.
