Guided Imagery As you settle into meditation, allow yourself to breathe. This meditation will just be breathing. Feeling the movement of air across your nostrils. Noticing the difference between the inhale and the exhale breath. Feel the movement across your skin, the temperature of the air. Noticing the space between inhale and exhale. Following your breath down into your chest. The gentle rise and the fall of your clavicles. the expansion of the ribs. Allowing your breath to feel like a rhythmic dance of your body. Feeling the expansion of your back. Feeling the pressure of your belly as you exhale and inhale through your entire body. How do you feel about your breath? Can breath be your anchor? Can breath be your gentle friend who's always with you. Can you welcome each breath with gratitude? Can you find enjoyment in that space between? Gently guiding your attention to the breath whenever it seems to wander. Enjoying how it's different every time. Enjoying that it's consistent, persistent. Thank you breath for always being with me. ____________ Tamara Kinoshita is guided by a clear set of values: empathy, strong communication, thoughtful challenge, efficiency, knowledge, community, trustworthiness, and whole-being health.

Guided Imagery Allowing yourself to settle into meditation. Making any movements or shifts that allow you to relax and feel comfortable. Beginning your connection to your breath. Beginning to lengthen the inhale. Soften. Extend those exhale. Allowing a sense of ease and release to travel across your face and down your shoulders. Allow your body to feel a sense of settling in, sinking down, letting go. Letting your body sink down into the earth. Gently and slowly, you feel the support and security of the earth cradling you, relaxing down into it. Feel the coolness of the soil all around you. You feel safer, protected. Allow yourself to relax a little bit more. And your body sinks down a little bit further into the earth. Allow it to soften and notice that you feel smaller, tinier, completely surrounded by this earth, moist and dark, smelling of life. A gentle nurturing pressure all around. With this smallest movement and wiggle, you notice that you have become a worm. Tiny and smooth, simple, unfettered. And despite your small size, despite seeming to have so little, you are moving the earth with every movement. The soil and earth around you shifts, changes, is molded by your actions. You move and the earth moves. What you do nurtures life in other ways. You are vital and important. Allowing yourself to feel this worm who moves the earth. And as you look ahead, you see that the scene in front of you is changing. So you continue to wiggle moving towards and with the smallest movement once again the earth shifts and over your face you feel the cool water sliding across your body. A flash of movement out and you are a fish. Shining scales, sleek body, noticing your colors, noticing your fins and your tail. You're able to speed and zip from side to side, flipping in any direction. Noticing how fluid your movements are, how easy. And as you turn to the side, you notice there are others swimming near you. And you recognize them. These others swim with you. Some of them behind, some of them near, some of them far off in the distance or ahead. allowing these others to represent your tribe, your school, your spirits. All of these other fish around you move together with you, creating a beautiful synchronicity. feel filled up by their support. Noticing that sometimes you lead the school, sometimes you are a part of it, but always together moving free. That feeling of support and love stays with you, but you notice that you have drifted farther away from the rest of the fish because up ahead once again is a light. So you turn towards the light once more at the surface of the water. and feel the cool movement as you get closer and closer. With a rush, you jump out of the water. Spread your arms and are now a bird flapping. Wind rushing across your face, lifting and fluttering through your feathers. You let out a great cry. The sound of freedom as you soar up into the weightless air. Free, easy, soaring. The earth below is getting smaller. But even though you are moving farther away, you see so much more. Allow yourself to fly higher above the clouds. up into the atmospheres of space and beyond. Soaring up, you notice your heart begins to get warmer. Your body changes to a brilliant red and you burst into flames as a star. A star, the birthplace of solar systems, the light, the energy of planets and all that can exist. You are a star in the universe, a blaze and glowing, allowing your radiance and your power to shine. And as you look through the vastness of the space, you see you are not alone. There are other stars shining as brilliantly as you. And all together. You and all the other beings light up all that is possible. ____________ Tamara Kinoshita is guided by a clear set of values: empathy, strong communication, thoughtful challenge, efficiency, knowledge, community, trustworthiness, and whole-being health.

Guided Imagery Allowing your body to sink down. Imagining a gentle picture full of relaxation being poured over the top of your head. Feel the cool sensation traveling down your forehead, washing away any tension, allowing the thoughts to become clearer, that they can easily wash away with that relaxation. Feeling that sense of relax pouring down through your jaw. Relax the tongue. That feeling of ease traveling down through the sides of your neck, your throat, and the back of your neck. Allow that relaxation to travel down across your shoulders. Release any tension, the weight that we carry from ourselves, from others. Just allow it to gently wash away. Feel the ease traveling down through our chest. Silky and smooth. We feel it traveling over our body. Relaxing through the ribs. Relaxing through the organs. Feel the cool ease traveling down your spine, your back. Relaxation through our arms down to the smallest tips of our fingers. This cool liquid relaxation travels through our hips, down our legs, allowing to wash away. Start free. Just allow yourself to float and relaxed and ease. allowing yourself to have the feeling and the knowing that even when I am in this state of ease and peace, I am okay. I am safer now. Pleased and relaxed is a place that I can be and I can be okay here. Even when the waters start to feel choppy, maybe scary, I can breathe and allow my body to sink a little lower down under that surface of relaxation. My breath brings me slowly into that state. Allowing my body to relax brings me slowly under that surface of turbulent water. Because under the water is where it remains calm. There may be hurricane up above. But I am able to stay in this calm, cool, safe, smooth place. Allow yourself to feel safe, protected. Knowing that no matter what, you're a strong swimmer. You have all that you need. That you are all that you need to be. Remembering you can always connect to these things by breathing, by feeling your body. ____________ Tamara Kinoshita is guided by a clear set of values: empathy, strong communication, thoughtful challenge, efficiency, knowledge, community, trustworthiness, and whole-being health.

Guided Imagery -       Finding presence.         Settling into now at this moment.         Not needing to change anything, make it different.         Just be the observer right now.         Gently allow yourself to soften.         Coming to a position of meditation, allowing your mind to come to that space.         Your body taking on the shape of meditation.         Visualizing beneath you the earth, bare earth.         What does this earth look like, feel like, and smell like?         What textures does the earth hold?         What colors and shapes do you see?         Is it alive with life green and colorful?         Is it sandy so that your toes sink in?         Is it moist and cool?         As you feel the earth, allowing yourself to become a little tiny seed.         What shape is this seed? What size?         What color?         The little tiny seed of you sinks down into the earth, allowing yourself to feel the moisture, the cool secure embrace.         And as you breathe, allow your breath to grow that seed into a beautiful tree.         Tall, proud, roots deep in the earth, trunk thick.         Years and years grown on top of each other.         The story of your life in this thick sturdy trunk.         Branches in so many directions intertwined.         but always reaching.         Allow yourself to be this tree.         And on some days you stand tall and proud.         The air around you calm, the sun shining warmly.         Some days others come to lay under your shade, to nest in your branches.         You welcome them, support them, give them what they need.         And some days the air outside is not so calm.         The winds begin to pick up, blowing your branches and leaves.         blowing so hard sometimes that you shake.         Feel the uplift and tug of that breezy wind pulling you up.         But you hold on.         Strong roots.         Earth also holding you down, connecting you, keeping you together.         And as the wind blows, you remain strong, grounded, proud, and sometimes the wind dies down.         Feeling a little shaken, but still you, still strong, still grounded, still reaching up.         What does it feel like to be this tree?         Can you be this tree at other times?         Yes.         Whenever you need to feel your roots sinking down into the earth.         Feel the strength within your core.         Feel the lifting of your crown and know that no matter what happens on the outside, you are this tree and have this strength.   ____________ Tamara Kinoshita is guided by a clear set of values: empathy, strong communication, thoughtful challenge, efficiency, knowledge, community, trustworthiness, and whole-being health.

It feels so good to be strong. And noticing while you do these things, other thoughts might wander in. Noticing if they are strong thoughts, if they are doubting thoughts. Noticing if you have comments that you are making to yourself. And if any of these are self-doubting, self-deprecating thoughts, acknowledge that they're here and let them ease their way out. soften them in the background and evoke once more feelings of strength, confidence, and acceptance. I am strong. It is good for me to be strong. My strength helps me do good things. I have the right to be strong. I am worthy of this strength. I deserve to feel strong. I am feeling strong.

Guided Imagery   Begin by settling in allowing your body to be comfortable and at ease.   Connecting to the breath in whatever way is useful to you today.   Feeling your body move as you bring in the inhale and as you release the exhale.   Finding some comfort in the rhythm of the breath.   The constant reminder that the present moment is always happening.   And as you close your eyes, bringing to mind someone or something that you feel loving and kind and compassionate towards.   It might be somebody you know or somebody who's no longer alive.   Might even be a fictional character.   Just bringing to mind someone that you feel love towards.   A kind, compassionate, genuine, joyful love.   allowing the corners of your mouth and your eyes to gently turn up. As you think about them, allow your face to express joy and happiness.   At the same time, noticing if there are different aspects of that love, maybe a clinging or a condition.   And if so, perhaps finding a different object, a different person, even something like a fuzzy bunny or a little kitten, and imagining that you are holding or hugging this person, feeling our arms wrap around them.   Feeling their body sink into yours with ease, softness, and through your touch, through the warmth of yourself, you are sending love, compassion, and safety through your embrace.   Noticing the feelings that you have inside of you as you send this love to this person.   As you gently envelop them with your love, with your protection.   Saying gratitude to them for being here with you in this visualization, of happiness and joy,   and allow them to gently disappear and fade away from your attention. In your awareness once more. It may be somebody who is not real.   That's okay.   Maybe it's a spiritual guide or an angel or just somebody imaginary.   If you imagine somebody who loves you unconditionally, allowing this person in your mind to intently hold you, hug you, surround you with their kind and warm loving embrace.   Maybe you can feel yourself sinking into them, your head gently resting on them, feeling their heart beating and the rhythm of their breath and allow that to bring comfort to you.   Maybe they are saying some kind comforting words, gently stroking your hair, rubbing your back.   Allow them to offer you empathy and allow yourself to receive it.   Soften into it.   Give yourself permission to have and receive empathy expressed towards you.   And give yourself permission to sit in the compassion and allow yourself to enjoy it.   to find comfort in it.   Allow yourself to release and just breathe with the sensations.   Making this visualization as vivid in your mind and your body and all of your senses as possible.   Allowing your body to take the shape of being embraced.   Imagining the sights and the smells, the textures.   allowing your mind to fully take in the experience.   Let yourself heal.   And you may sit this way for as long as you need.   When you're done sending gratitude to your benevolent being, for their comfort, for their energy, saying gratitude to yourself for taking these few minutes to give yourself compassion,   care, and the attention that you definitely definitely deserve.   Namaste.   ------ Tamara Kinoshita is guided by a clear set of values: empathy, strong communication, thoughtful challenge, efficiency, knowledge, community, trustworthiness, and whole-being health.

Guided Imagery Allow yourself to settle in by exhaling. Soften your body. Soften your face. Exhale. Exhale. Noticing what your body feels like. The prominent sensations, the areas that are most notable to you. And asking yourself what emotions, what thoughts are dominant right now? What am I feeling in this moment? and noticing one that might be considered a negative feeling or thought or emotion. Where do you feel this in your body? If you can find a general area or maybe a very specific spot, noticing what that sensation is like, noticing what that thought feels like. Perhaps even the expression on your face changes as you focus on this particular sensation. and going to that area, seeing if you can soften it. Maybe not it specifically, but the areas around it, the periphery, just the edges. Can you soften them? Allow them to become a little more fuzzy. A little less sharp and hard. Even gently saying to yourself to the sensation or thought soften and if possible that softness moves in towards the center of it, the core of it. Soften it. Noticing if it's changing in any way. Noticing if your relationship with it is changing in any way. We soften. And if you can maybe put your hand on that area or just anywhere on yourself if it's possible allow your skin to rest on your own skin. Feel the touch. Feel the warmth of it. The pressure of it. Maybe move your hand around in a very tender way, allowing your own hand to bring ease and soothing sensations to this place. allowing yourself to say words of comfort to yourself. Maybe something like, "It's okay. I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. I'm here for you." Allow the words to come as if you were soothing a friend, a loved one, or a child. Allow the words to be comforting. Use the touch as if it was a hug, a warm, empathetic embrace. Noticing if anything happens as you continue to comfort yourself and allow whatever is happening to happen. Acknowledge that your feelings are real and true at this moment. Acknowledge that the soothing may have an effect on you. And allow yourself to release anything that might be there. You can go back to the same spot and softening it, easing it, comforting yourself with words and touch, and giving yourself permission to feel whatever is here. At this moment. Even if it's changing, permission for it to change. You can continue to be in the same place, area, or thought, or you can move to a different one, taking as long as you need. You have the ability to be of comfort to yourself. You have permission to feel these things. You have permission to feel compassion for yourself, to feel vulnerable. You have permission to just be and feel what is real right now. Allow yourself to be whatever it is right now. ____________ Tamara Kinoshita is guided by a clear set of values: empathy, strong communication, thoughtful challenge, efficiency, knowledge, community, trustworthiness, and whole-being health.

I met Aaron Phillips, The Voice, at a networking group about a decade ago. We've remained friends ever since. He has hosted hundreds of shows and events in the time that I've known him, from local events to national-level. The best part about our friendship is watching how much we have both grown and changed in the last few years. He had a life-changing wake-up call that caused him to dramatically change his weight and his attitudes. He wrote a book about his journey and on this podcast episode, he shares a bit of his journey with us, like getting off his medications and learning to jump rope at age 52.
