  SPEAKER_00: Welcome, welcome to this week's Magic Monday.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: What little nuggets do I have?
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: I was just saying to Laura there that I think this is,
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: we're at the end of a bit of a cycle and obviously a lot of people going
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: through divorce are definitely in a big transition phase
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: so you'll be feeling this kind of energy anyway and I guess I am leaning
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: into following the things that light me up and that bring me joy.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: And that is the only kind of criteria I have right now.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: So take what you will from that.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah,
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: I would say certainly when you're in the middle of divorce,
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: following the things that make you feel good is like essential, number one.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: These are the things to go for.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so let's get comfortable.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: We'll go inside.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: As always, have a notebook handy.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: I thought I didn't have one, but I do.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: And get yourself as comfortable as you possibly can.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: So if you can lie down, go for it, wrap yourself up in a blanket.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: And let's close our eyes.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: If it doesn't feel comfortable to close your eyes, just have a gentle gaze in front of you.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: And then just start to deepen your breath.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: Taking the next few breaths just to really become fascinated by your breath.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: Seeing how far down your belly into the pelvis you can get your breath.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Noticing how it feels to exhale, how it helps the shoulders to drop, the jaw to relax.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Feeling the sensation down the back of the neck.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: The space in between the shoulder blades.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Can you use the next few breaths to help this space to let go, to soften.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: Feeling all the place that you're in contact with the ground beneath you,
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: the feet, the back of the legs, the sitting bones and up your back.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: And on the next exhale, actively allow the ground to hold you up.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Feeling that support beneath you.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Feeling held and steady and grounded.
• 3:53
  And then bringing your attention back to your breath.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: The movement,
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: the way it feels to breathe,
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: the sound your breath makes,
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: or any colours or visuals that you see when you breathe in and out.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: And if you notice your mind is wandering away or thinking about the to-do list
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: or anything else,
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: just gently acknowledge that that's how it is today and bring your attention back
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: to your breath.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: With so much kindness and compassion.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: From here,
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: I invite you to the Magic Divorce Clubhouse,
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: this beautiful building surrounded by a protective blue layer.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: And as you step in through the threshold,
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: any cords or threads that are attached to you just dissolve away.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Anything that's taking up space inside of you that is not yours to carry.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need to know what this is.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: Just know that as you walk through the door,
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: the protective layer fizzles all of this away and it sends it back with compassion
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: and love to wherever it belongs because it is not yours to carry.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: Once you're inside,
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: feeling the soft, mossy, green floor beneath you and just allow yourself to arrive.
