Welcome back to the theater session. We are going to focus a bit on power today. So as a reminder for your breath, it's a three-part breath all through the mouth, through the belly, and then an exhale. So find yourself a comfortable place. And a big exhale through your mouth. A big inhale through your nose. And an exhale through your mouth. With this next inhale, see if you can squeeze your whole body. Squeeze from your feet, your legs, your hips, your belly, your hands. Squeeze your face, squeeze your eyes. Exhale. Let something go. Let something go. And as you begin to notice your body, as you begin to notice your breath. Can you bring your attention? Your imagination to a beautiful, cold, warm. Healing like sitting just above your chest. You can feel the warmth of it on your body, on your face. And you breathe it in. And with the exhale, with the clearing, with the creation of space in your body, this light begins to pour in. Filling your whole body with warmth and love.

And light.

And with this next breath, you feel it move all the way up your body, up through your spine, up out through the crown of your head. As it begins to circle your whole body. Surrounding you in love and light. Knowing that you are ready. Take another deep inhale through your nose. And a big exhale. And let's begin. Okay. Open mouth. In through the belly, in through the chest. Exhale. In belly. Chest. Exhale. Feel the breath expanding in your belly. Feel it moving up into your chest, into your heart. Exhale, let it go. Come right back to it. It's a circular breath, so we don't hold at the bottom. We keep it moving. We keep the breath going right back into the belly, right back up into the chest. Exhale, let it go. If your brain starts to protest right away with this breath, just acknowledge it and let it go. Go right back to your breath. In, in, out. Good. In, in, out. Keep it moving. Beautiful. You're starting to create space. Create space in your body to let what is ready to surface, to come through, to let your power back in. So let it move. Feel the power of your own breath. Feel where you've been holding it. Feel where you've been restricting it. Let it move in your body. Belly, chest, exhale. Good. Good. Keep it moving here. Keep the breath. Belly expands. Heart, chest expands. Exhale, let it go right back to it. Belly. Chest. Exhale. Belly. Chest. Exhale. When you think about pulling this breath up from your belly into your chest, this is moving from the grounded half of our body into the place of higher connection. This is where it gets stuck. This is why this breath is so effective to move it through. So feel its power. Feel what happens when you lean into your breath. Feel what happens when you encourage it to move in your body. Good. Good. Beautiful. Give yourself a little love here. Acknowledge that in this moment your body is safe. Your body is right here. And give yourself permission to explore what wants to be heard. Your body has deep wisdom. It talks to you all the time. Usually we quiet it. Right now, let your breath give voice to your body. Give voice to everything that needs to move up. Everything that needs to move out. Good. Yes. If you're feeling vibrations, good, that's your energy. You can choose to bring your hands in front of your chest almost like prayer hands. Don't touch them. Pull them apart six inches and move them back in. You can feel your energy move. You can feel the power of your energy. Good. Find somewhere in your body where you haven't sent your breath. Let it move right now. Let it move there. Maybe it is your lower back, your shoulder blade, your throat. Let it move. And as you begin to build your breath, deepening in through your belly, deepening up into your chest. Find where your resistance is. Whatever that means for you, whatever that feels like in your body, what are you resisting? What are you holding back? Find it. Observe it. Observe why. What is the fear? What is the fear that is causing this resistance, causing you to move slowly, causing you not to move at all, causing you to stay stuck wherever you let it move something in you. Let it start to uncover your power on the other side of our fear is our light. So let your breath move your power. Move it into existence. You know where you're holding back. You know where you've kept quiet. You know where you're bracing for impact. Let your breath move it out. Let your breath move it free. What would your life look like if you let your power come through? If you stopped quieting your voice, if you stopped choosing your actions based on others' judgments, others' instructions, and if you listen right in, how would your life change? Every choice that you have made has taken you right here. Whether that is where you want to be or not, there's a power in that choice. It means that you can choose differently right now. You can choose you, choose love, choose the life that you want. Deepen your breath. Belly, just exhale. Good. Belly, just exhale. Keep it moving. See if you can deepen it and maybe pick up the pace here. We begin to reach a peak over the next two songs. So can you deepen it and expand its pace? Let the oxygen move in, let it move into your body, let it move into your mind, let it keep quieting what is holding you back. Here you go. Good. Deepen it. Deepen it and pick up your pace. Feel the music in your body. Good. Good. Let this fill you with the joy of finding your own power. Whatever that looks like for you. Whatever creative insight impulse that brings in. See what's possible. The golden light filling in your body is infinite possibility. If something is a dream in your mind, it's because it's meant to be for you that we have to get out of our own way. We have to stop blocking our energy, stop blocking our power, stop blocking our love so that it can come through. So move your breath. Belly, chest, exhale, move your breath. So that what you desire most, what you are meant to give in this life, what only you can give, what only you can create, what only you can write, what only you can say, what only you can do. Let it come through. Let it show you what's meant for you. Come on, deepen your breath. Where are you holding back? Your body will only give you what you can handle today, but you have to give to it. You have to make the choice to go in. So go in. Go in deep, deepen it in your belly. Feel the oxygen fill every fiber, every muscle, every organ, every cell in your body. Into your chest. Exhale. Belly chest. Exhale. Beautiful. Beautiful. Here comes our peak. If you haven't deepened your breath yet, do it now. If you haven't picked up the case, do it now. Let's go. Move with the music. Good. I'm gonna ask you to use some sound here. Our breath is one of the most powerful energy movers in our body. The other is our voice, any sound that we can make. Sound is energy. Our body is energy. And so when we need to move things, one of our greatest tools is our voice. So right here, that could be an ah. It could be a yell, it could be a laugh, it could be an I am. I am is the most powerful statement we can make. I am. Nothing has to follow. Something might start there. I am. Good deepen your breath. I am. Yes. Feel it in your body. Say it louder. Move your energy with sound. I am. Let it come up through your body. Move it up through your belly. Good. Feel it. Feel the power of your voice. Feel the power of your breath. Feel the power of your being. Move your air. I am. I am. Good. Good. Keep it moving. A few more deep breaths here. Deepen it. Good. Keep your breath moving. If something wants to come up right now, let it come up. Maybe you have to help it by purposely, intentionally pulling it up from your hips, from the space where your legs meet your torso. Good. Keep your breath moving. Belly, chest, exhale. Yes. When we try to pick and choose our emotions, when we try to quiet certain ones that we don't think will feel great, we quiet the others. So if you quiet your grief, if you quiet your shame, we quiet our joy, we quiet our love. Emotions peak at 90 seconds. They may come back like a wave, but at 90 seconds they peak before they go back down. So if you can't work through 90 seconds, let it move up so that it can move out. It will move through and out of your body. So whatever wants to come up, if it's grief, if it's anger, if it's fear, just let it move up and out. Up and out of your body. What does it look like when you recognize yourself fully? When you choose even for a moment to love yourself wholly. Maybe you have to say to yourself, I love you. I love you. I love you. Feel what that feels like in your body. It may have been some time since you've said it, since you've heard it. So say it again if you need to. And with each one, feel the power rise up. Feel the wholeness of your body. You are not broken. You have just quieted things that need to be heard. Good. See yourself in your full capacity, your full power, your full love. What do you look like? What is moving through you and out of you? What is being creative? What is being felt, what is being heard, what is being seen. Experience it all. Experience it and know that if you can see it right now, it's within your realm of possibility. It is waiting for you. It is waiting for you to accept it, to feel worthy of it. So allow yourself to feel worthy of everything you've dreamt of. Of the power within you. Of the power you are meant to bring into this world, into this life. We look to others, we look outside of ourselves for our power, but you can see it right here. You can see it right now. Choose you. Choose you in this moment. Good. A few more breaths here. Good. Belly, chest, exhale. Good. Let yourself experience the radiance of your power. The beauty of the joy that comes with your freedom. Stop waiting for someone else to give it to you. Give it to yourself. Give it to yourself. Deepen your breath. Don't hold back here. Give yourself these last few. Deepen them. Feel them through your whole body. Deepen it through your belly. Pull it up into your chest. Exhale right back to it. Feel the expansion. Feel the love. Feel the energy. Feel everything moving in your body. Feel your vibrations of energy. Feel how they are shifting your state to the wholeness that you are. Good. You are worth it. You are worth it because you are whole. Because you are beautiful. Because you are loved. Because you are connected to a greater source of energy and of love around you. We think we're alone, but we are never alone. We are always connected. We just have to listen. So listen. Take a deep breath in through your mouth, all the way up your body. Hold at the crown of your head. Exhale, let it go. Take another deep breath in through your mouth. All the way up your body, up your spine, holding at the crown of your head. Exhale, let it go. Last one. Deep breath in through.

Your mouth all the way up, holding at the top. And exhale, let it go. See the golden light surrounding your body, and notice your body softening into it. Notice it melting into this beautiful golden light, becoming one with infinite energy, infinite love, and from this space of deep connection of lightness.
