Something to reflect on this Sunday; remember you can make the shift that you desire.

no matter where you are,
or how far you feel that you’ve traveled away from me,
you are welcome to come home.

one breath at a time,
and then another,
and another as it feels safe,
i’ll be here.
i am the moment.

you’ll notice that time is but a concept to me,
here,
we travel with ease in rhythm.

no rush.
know that i am here whenever you are ready.

and when you are,
drop in
and feel me fully.
if you feel the spaciousness,
you can always drop into me a little more….

i’ll never leave you.
i am you.
we are one.

always here.
welcome home.

when calls, the answer is always an easy and fully embodied yes. the experience of calling in a new calendar year from a place of being grounded was so very powerful.

i am grateful to be in partnership with the village 🖤

invite one hand to the heart,
the other hand, invite it to the belly.
feel the cadence that supports the truth of this moment.
be with me in this cadence.
feel the rise and the fall.
feel the pause and the reset.

notice the urge to turn away
and use it as an invitation to come within again.

feel, again, my rise and my fall.
feel, again, my pause and my reset.

drop deeply into this moment.
and this one too.
and this one.

feel the expansion of the belly.
feel the contraction of the belly.
feel the expansion of the chest.
feel the fall of the chest.

i’ve always been here.
i always will be.
will you take my hand
and come be with me?

Be where you are
and I will meet you here.
I know that it seems like we have been missing each other lately,
You’ve been searching for me
And trying to figure out how to relate to me.

I’ve been here,
Right with you the whole time.
I always have been.
I always will be.

I see you
And my work is to support you as you are.

Lay into me, dear one.
You’ve had moments that have challenged the truth of my ever presence.
Show yourself compassion as you’re believing the best that you can.

You’ll grasp for me
And gasp for me
When you fear that I am no longer around.

To leave you
Is to leave me.
I’ll always be here to welcome you home.

You see, in presence, we are never apart
So I invite you to come sit with me.
Drop deeply into the belly as you exhale feeling that I am with you.
Feel your chest expand as you breathe in new life.
Invite the pause.
And then lay into me as you exhale.

Oh beloved, I’ve never left you.
I will always meet you where you are.
I will always meet you where you are.
I will ALWAYS meet you where you are.

Here
Now
In all ways
And forevermore.

I love you
I am you.

…and on the next exhale,
invite a pause.
allow your hand to find your heart as
your lungs fill up slowly.
release with intention.
and notice your capacity to be with what is.
welcome home, beloved.

practice revealing.

here’s an invitation to place one hand on your heart and the other hand on top of that. as the gaze turns inward, let’s invite the revealing of what wants to be known right now.

recognize the fear and offer it gratitude for keeping you safe.
recognize the gift and choose if you want to remain with it in this particular moment.
trust your awareness.
notice if any resistance remains-
maybe offer the gift of play with that resistance.

drop into the inquiry as often as you need.
what desires to be revealed through you.
what desires to be knows.

as the tears begin to offer release
as the voices shakes while finding its home in your body

release.
hold yourself
and release again.

Black folx: receiving is a spiritual practice. I invite US into the sacred practice of receiving as we allow ourselves to celebrate, remember and rest. In this particular moment, I invite the recognition of any stories that arise about what we need to DO to actualize our true nature of Abundance. Notice any resistance to sharing your handles. Become aware of the stories that denounce worthiness.
Yes, even if you don’t have a story, if you don’t run a business, if you have a financially successful business, if you are ashamed to be experiencing what seems to be lack, if you are highly aware of your Abundant nature, if you don’t need anything, if you hear this post as begging instead of a CLEAR ASK ... I invite you to ask yourself, how GOOD will I allow myself to feel?
It is a colonized thought to believe that you have to hustle hard enough or prove yourself with a story to deserve to receive. Be aware of the conditioning and invite a shift that of narrative at your own pace.
Move through it and once you are willing to practice receiving:
DROP THOSE HANDLES 👇🏾
if you dropped yours yesterday, DROP IT AGAIN 👇🏾
this is the practice of receiving.
you are well versed in the practice of giving.
the Universe is reciprocal in nature.
Black folx, it’s time to breathe into that. Check your beliefs. Check any internalized anti-Blackness.

And this HAS to be non negotiable (I don’t even know why this needs to be stated) - use your overflow to circulate WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. That’s how we build sustainably.

To everyone else: here’s your invitation to redistribute the coin. Notice your desire to move past this post. Notice any stories you have about Black folx receiving without hustling for it. Redistribute solely for the reason of Black folx breathing easy.

Black folx: rest. rest deeply. and do anything that liberates your being.

WE ARE HOLY GROUND!

Black folx, without the slightest bit of shame, drop your cashapp, and venmo in the comments.

No need to rationalize your worthiness to post.

All others, drop some coin today. Support the rest and liberation is Black folx today.

I will start with mine.
drcrystaljones on all platforms

your turn.
notice any resistance.
sit with what comes up.
