Find a comfortable position,
Sitting or lying down,
Let your hands rest naturally.
Allow your shoulders to soften.
Take a slow breath in through the nose and gently exhale through the mouth.
Again,
Slow breath in and slow breath out.
Let your breathing settle into a steady rhythm,
No force,
No effort,
Just breathing.
Now bring your awareness to the feeling of your body,
The weight of you,
The contact with the surface beneath you,
You are supported.
Imagine beneath you,
Deep within the earth,
A rich seam of copper,
Warm,
Dense,
Steady.
Copper resting quietly in the ground,
Unmoving,
Patient.
With your next inhale,
Imagine drawing that warm,
Grounded copper energy upward.
Not fast,
Not dramatic,
Just steady,
Just calm.
As you breathe out,
Let your body soften.
Let unnecessary tension drain downward,
Like excess charge finding the earth.
Copper is conductive,
It carries energy with ease,
And right now,
Your body knows how to conduct calm.
Inhale,
Draw in warmth,
Exhale,
Release tension.
Imagine a subtle copper glow at the base of your spine,
Soft,
Earthy,
Gentle.
With each breath,
That glow becomes steady,
Not bright,
Not sharp,
Just warm.
If your mind wanders,
That's okay,
Simply return to the breath,
Return to the warmth.
Like copper resting in the earth,
There is no rush.
Feel your hands,
Imagine a quiet,
Metallic warmth in your palms,
Grounded,
Stable.
Your hands are calm,
Your breathing is calm.
Now,
Allow that copper warmth to move slowly upward,
Through your chest,
Up toward your shoulders,
Breathing in,
Steady,
Breathing out,
Slow.
Copper does not resist,
It does not strain,
It simply conducts,
And you can do the same.
Let stress move through you,
And then out.
No gripping,
No holding.
Your nervous system begins to settle,
Like evening light after a long day.
Quiet,
Unhurried,
Inhale gently,
Exhale completely.
Feel the weight of your body again,
Feel gravity holding you.
You are supported,
You are grounded,
Steady,
Like copper in the earth.
Now,
Take one slightly deeper breath in,
And a long,
Slow breath out.
Let the copper glow fade into a simple feeling of calm.
You don't need the image anymore,
Just the steadiness remains.
For the next few breaths,
Sit quietly,
Breathing,
Resting,
Grounded.
When you're ready,
Begin to bring gentle awareness back to the room.
Small movements in the fingers,
In the toes,
And when it feels natural,
Open your eyes.
You are grounded,
Calm,
Steady.
