Fear and worry are no strangers. They sit quietly and deeply inside your heart. It's those deep, dark places where you feel more contracted and less expansive. So tune into your breath for a moment and allow the natural rhythm of it to settle in. Breathe in deeply through your nose.

Exhale fully through your nose. Drop into your body to relax. Allow your shoulders, your arms, your legs and your feet to surrender to this present moment from this state of presence. Gently take note of any ways you move away from something you fear. Maybe it's in your career.

where there's a potential of failure. Perhaps it's in your relationships, afraid of opening up to love. Maybe it's in your health, where worry is speaking loudly. Gently recognize anything that arises. Turn towards the darkness and be willing to know your fears and worries. Make space for what's showing up

and invited to sit next to you. What would help you heal this fear and worry? Touch your heart lightly and send loving energy to everywhere within you that longs for healing. Fill these places of uncertainty, of fear, of worry with love and then let them Namaste. Beautiful.
