Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_00 (00:01):
Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable space where
you can sit undisturbed.
Settle into a position thatallows your body to feel both
relaxed and alert, whetherthat's sitting cross-legged,
lying down, or in a chair.

(00:23):
Close your eyes gently and takea moment to just be.

(01:47):
Approach teaching with humilityand openness and let every
experience deepen your practice.
Now take a deep breath in andslowly breathe out.

(02:13):
Repeat this a few times,observing the feel of the air
entering and leaving your body.
This is your anchor, your homebase.
Whenever you feel lost oroverwhelmed, come back to your
breath.

(02:44):
As you continue to breathedeeply, notice any thoughts or
feelings that arise.
Perhaps it's a fear ofmisguiding your clients or a
doubt in your abilities as ateacher.
Recognize these thoughts andfeelings, but don't judge or try

(03:06):
to change them.
They are not wrong or right,good or bad.
They just are.
They are not you.
They are simply experiencespassing through your
consciousness.

(03:40):
Now I want you to imagine thesethoughts and feelings as leaves
floating down a stream.
You are the observer on the bankwatching them pass by.
You don't need to jump in andgrab them, just observe them
float by.

(04:01):
This is your mind, a constantflow of thoughts and feelings,
and you, the observer, areseparate from this flow.

(04:23):
As you watch these leaves, thesethoughts and feelings,
acknowledge each one.
I see you, fear.
I see you, doubt.
Give them space to exist, butdon't let them define you.

(04:45):
You are not your fear.
You are not your doubt.
You are the observer, thecompassionate, non-judgmental
witness.

(05:12):
Now, as you continue to breatheand watch the leaves float by,
bring your focus back to yourbreath.
With each inhale, imaginebreathing in acceptance,
authenticity, and confidence.
With each exhale, imaginereleasing fear, doubt, and

(05:37):
insecurity.
Feel the acceptance filling yourbody, your mind, your spirit.
You are enough just as you are.
You are authentic.
You are capable.

(06:01):
Now imagine the confidencegrowing within you like a flame
being stoked.
Let it warm you, strengthen you,empower you.
This is your true self, yourauthentic self.
Hold on to this feeling, thissense of innate power and worth.

(06:26):
This is who you are.
This is who you always havebeen.
Let this authenticity andconfidence permeate every cell

(06:50):
of your body, every corner ofyour mind, every part of your
spirit.
You are a teacher, but first andforemost, you are a human being
on your own journey.
You are worthy.
You are enough.
