Welcome in. I'm glad you joined me for this moment of calm. You might not feel anxious or stressed right now. Maybe you feel tired? Not the kind of tired that sleep fixes. But maybe something quieter. Javier. Maybe it's been a long day. Or a long stretch of giving your energy away. And now. . . There may not be much left. To give. For the next few minutes. You don't need to fix any of that. You don't need to recharge all at once. Only let yourself be here. Now. Bring your attention gently to your breath. No need to deepen it. Only notice it as it is. Feel the air moving in and out at its own pace. If your body feels heavy. . . If your mind feels slow, That's okay too. You're allowed to feel this way. Now notice where your body is feeling supported. The surface beneath you. Holding your weight. Without asking anything from you. Let yourself lean into that support. There is nothing you need to hold up right now. If it feels natural, Take a slightly deeper breath in. . . And let it fall out slowly. Not forcing any kind of calm. Only allowing a small release. Now imagine your energy not as something you've lost, But something that's simply been spread thin. And instead of trying to gather it all back at once, Let a small part of it return. Maybe it's a sense of warmth. Or quiet. Or a little more space something gentle. Something enough. You don't need to feel fully restored. A little less depleted than before. Quietly remind yourself. I don't have to do everything right now. It's okay to rest. Before I'm fully okay again. Even this moment of pause is helping. Let those words settle softly. No pressure to believe them completely. Now come back to your breath again. In. . . And out. Slow. . . And natural. Notice if anything shifted. Even slightly. A bit more space. That's enough. Take one more gentle breath in. . . And let it go slowly. And when you're ready. . . Return to your day. Without rushing yourself. Carrying just a little more steadiness with you. Namaste.
