  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in a
• 0:11
  feeling of freshness, of energy, of resourcefulness.
• 0:17
  And as you exhale, give permission to release.
• 0:26
  As you slow down that outward breath, give permission to let
• 0:32
  go of any feelings of frustration, anger, or
• 0:41
  uncertainty. Just allow it to melt away and
• 0:46
  leave your body as tiny crystals of ice melting into the
• 0:54
  atmosphere, breathing in relaxation and exhaling tension.
• 1:05
  Each breath takes you to the next level of depth, deeper down
• 1:14
  to a place where change can take place in wonderful and positive
• 1:21
  ways. When you breathe in, breathe in
• 1:28
  for deeper. And as you breathe out, allow
• 1:35
  the body to settle. Not by forcing relaxation, just
• 1:43
  by allowing that whatever tension is there, you can let go
• 1:49
  of that tension. And each outward breath allows a
• 1:55
  little more to let go with each breath.
• 2:05
  And sometimes the mind becomes busy, especially when life is in
• 2:11
  transition. Loose ends, unfinished
• 2:17
  conversations, perhaps potential or unresolved conflicts.
• 2:26
  And every now and then there are situations that feel unfair,
• 2:34
  times when someone else's behaviour reveals something
• 2:41
  about them. But perhaps you would never
• 2:46
  choose to become yourself. There are Silver Linings because
• 2:56
  moments like these are also thresholds.
• 3:02
  And there are points in life where a person moves from 1
• 3:07
  chapter into another. And sometimes that's at a key
• 3:13
  milestone, like a certain birthday or a new year, or
• 3:20
  moving from one place to live to another.
• 3:26
  And with your eyes closed, just feel the heaviness of your
• 3:30
  eyelids getting heavier and more relaxed.
• 3:35
  And I wonder if you can imagine something familiar to you.
• 3:42
  Not a house, not an apartment. I want you to imagine about
• 3:51
  something familiar from a dream or a thought or an idea.
• 3:57
  I want you to imagine wearing clothing that is warm and
• 4:02
  finding yourself high up in the mountains of the Pyrenees.
• 4:12
  Imagine walking on the border between France and Spain.
• 4:21
  Perhaps you could imagine rocky paths, peaks, valleys, snow and
• 4:33
  ice, and sometimes high up lakes.
• 4:44
  This is the kind of place where people walk for days at a time.
• 4:47
  But I want you to imagine you have the stability of a mountain
• 4:53
  goat as you walk there high up in the mountains.
• 5:01
  I want you to connect without feeling of stability and yet
• 5:06
  feel that you are moving forward to a clear destination.
• 5:12
  And every now and then, just allow yourself to follow a
• 5:15
  trail. Explore what you explore and
• 5:20
  then return to your route that moves you forward.
• 5:24
  And I want you to imagine sensations there in the
• 5:31
  mountains. Imagine feeling the wind, the
• 5:36
  quiet, the vastness of it all. And perhaps you can imagine
• 5:44
  walking alongside one of those mountain paths and notice any
• 5:52
  insights, thoughts or feelings that arise because some sections
• 5:58
  of a mountain are wide and easy and other sections narrow.
• 6:08
  Almost like walking along a Ridge, a thin path between two
• 6:15
  slopes. But feel the stability of that
• 6:20
  mountain goat. Connect with feeling balanced,
• 6:24
  focused, present. That's it.
• 6:30
  Connect with a feeling of absolute stability, even though
• 6:40
  you are walking on a path that some people call the Razor's
• 6:45
  edge. Not dangerous for someone who
• 6:50
  walks carefully with that stability.
• 6:55
  Not frightening for someone who understands balance.
• 7:02
  Because the razor's edge is simply the place where clarity
• 7:10
  and confidence lives. The place where a person walks
• 7:16
  forward without being pulled by anger on one side or the
• 7:23
  resignation of that weak acceptance on the other.
• 7:28
  Just steady, balanced. And as you imagine walking along
• 7:36
  this mountain path, you might notice that earlier in the
• 7:41
  journey, there were moments of frustration, moments where anger
• 7:49
  appeared. And maybe that anger was about
• 7:53
  unfairness, someone's behavior, being unreasonable,
• 8:01
  disrespectful, entitled, or just exploitative.
• 8:06
  And when someone tries to take advantage, any anger sometimes
• 8:15
  is reasonable. Because anger is not weakness.
• 8:22
  Anger can be energy. When something you value is
• 8:28
  being violated, something you hold to be true is being
• 8:33
  misconstrued or exploited, perhaps the mind's way of saying
• 8:40
  something matters. Something deserves protection.
• 8:48
  And the problem about anger is never anger itself.
• 8:54
  The emotion is fine. It can only be a problem with
• 9:00
  what people do with that anger. Some people explode with it, and
• 9:07
  some people suppress it. I want you to tap into the third
• 9:13
  option. The third option is discipline,
• 9:23
  because a person walking along a mountain Ridge doesn't waste
• 9:28
  energy shouting at the wind, and they don't allow themselves to
• 9:33
  just fall. They simply place the next step
• 9:39
  carefully, steadily forward, and as you continue walking along
• 9:50
  this Ridge, give permission to feel a change.
• 9:58
  That anger that once felt heavy, anger that led you to feeling
• 10:04
  unbalanced begins to transform. And not disappearing, just
• 10:11
  transforming. Like a fire that once burned
• 10:16
  wildly being placed inside a furnace field of focus.
• 10:25
  The energy being contained, harnessed and useful.
• 10:32
  That fire of anger now becomes clarity, strength, resolve and
• 10:41
  boundaries. Because dealing with difficult
• 10:46
  or entitled people doesn't require rage.
• 10:50
  It requires structure, evidence, sometimes documentation, or calm
• 10:58
  confidence with a quiet knowledge and belief that truth
• 11:05
  still matters. What's true is more important
• 11:13
  than what someone believes. And as you continue walking
• 11:18
  along the Ridge, the razor's edge, notice that behind you is
• 11:25
  the place you are, leaving that apartment with space you never
• 11:30
  used, the landlord causing difficulty, the conflict or
• 11:36
  tension. And as you think back from this
• 11:41
  vantage point, something becomes clear.
• 11:49
  That chapter of your life was never meant to be permanent.
• 11:54
  It was simply a crossing point, a stepping stone, perhaps.
• 12:00
  A place where you learned about resilience, about fairness, that
• 12:06
  you achieve something magnificent that you had set out
• 12:10
  to do. Publishing a book and making it
• 12:14
  available to the world. All of that matters.
• 12:21
  But you also learned about how to stand your ground without
• 12:24
  losing your balance, without resorting to unnecessary anger
• 12:30
  or rage. The feeling is fine if it's
• 12:36
  harnessed in the right way and ahead of you.
• 12:41
  Now the path begins to widen the razor's edge.
• 12:46
  The Ridge opens into a valley, a new place, a new home.
• 12:57
  Not just physically, but energetically.
• 13:02
  Because when someone moves homes, they aren't only changing
• 13:07
  walls and furniture, they're changing the atmosphere and the
• 13:12
  very ambience of their life. A wonderful reset, a
• 13:19
  recalibration, a lighter chapter.
• 13:25
  And as you begin walking toward that new place, maybe you notice
• 13:31
  how the body feels lighter, clearer, less entangled, because
• 13:37
  you realize you don't need to carry resentment or frustration
• 13:41
  into the next chapter. You can carry something far more
• 13:47
  powerful. Self respect, inner strength,
• 13:55
  the ability to say that I'm compassionate, but I am no
• 14:00
  pushover. I am fair, but I am not weak.
• 14:09
  I can understand people without allowing them to take advantage
• 14:14
  of me. And that balance is the razor's
• 14:19
  edge. And perhaps you can imagine
• 14:23
  arriving at the front door of your new apartment.
• 14:29
  The door opens. A blank canvas, a clean slate,
• 14:34
  the ability to make it exactly as you wanted.
• 14:40
  Because when a space is empty, it can be designed
• 14:45
  intentionally, just like a new phase of life where you decide
• 14:54
  what belongs there and what gets left behind, what energy enters,
• 15:02
  what habits grow, what seeds you're planting to bear fruit in
• 15:10
  the future. And as you imagine walking
• 15:14
  around that space, notice how calm it feels.
• 15:21
  This move is not a retreat or a set back.
• 15:24
  It's a transition, a step forward, and with the money you
• 15:30
  save, you create freedom, adventures and travel.
• 15:36
  And when you travel to those places in Japan or Switzerland,
• 15:46
  it will come from a place of discernment.
• 15:50
  You chose this to facilitate what you value more and as you
• 16:00
  allow yourself to feel that you are on the brink of a new
• 16:06
  chapter, an empowering phase, a springboard into wonderful new
• 16:14
  opportunities, it's time to return.
• 16:19
  And you return with all of those resources coming with you.
• 16:25
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 16:31
  nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
• 16:35
  your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 16:37
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 16:43
  you. Starting to count 123 Waking up
