Welcome.
You've arrived in the body of a new day.
Take a soft breath in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Sometime between darkness and dawn,
Your soul was returned to you.
Not by force,
Not by merit,
But by mercy,
By trust.
You are here,
Breathing,
Living,
Becoming.
Let your breath rise naturally.
Feel the invitation of your inhale and the surrender of your exhale.
We begin with the sacred word,
Chai,
Which in Hebrew means life.
Whisper it out loud or within.
Chai.
Breathe into the space just behind your heart.
Let that energy awaken the part of you that remembers.
You are not starting over.
You are continuing the journey.
Bring your awareness to your feet.
Feel them resting against the ground.
Sense their strength,
Their stillness.
Whisper,
I am held.
Shift your attention to your hands.
Notice the tingling,
The subtle energy,
The warmth.
Feel your aliveness.
Whisper,
I choose peace.
Bring your awareness now to your belly.
Place your hands there if you like.
Inhale deeply and expand.
Exhale slowly and soften.
I return to vitality.
Whisper to yourself.
Let your entire body receive this breath from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head.
You are whole.
You are home.
You are vital.
One more breath.
Inhale life.
Exhale clarity.
Carry this presence into the day ahead with softness,
With strength,
With sacred vitality.
