Welcome in. If you arrived here, You may have unresolved emotions from a challenging interaction. I want to begin by reminding you That moment of difficulty is over now. Your mind might still be here. Replaying parts of it. Rethinking what you said. Or wishing it had gone differently. Before anything else. Only notice that. No need to stop it right away. You're here now. And for the next few minutes. You don't need to figure anything out. Let's begin with your breath. Take a slow inhale through your nose. And a gentle exhale through your mouth. Let's do that one more time. Breathe in. And breathe out Let your shoulders drop. Unclench your jaw. If you can. Soften your hands. Your body may still be holding on to that moment. And that's okay. It only needs a little time to settle. Now, Let's Bring your awareness to wherever the tension feels strongest. It might be your chest. Your belly, Your throat. Instead of trying to release it all at once, Just allow a little space around it. Imagine your breath moving into that space. Softening it loosening it. You don't need to resolve the conversation right now. You don't need to replay it perfectly. You don't need to keep replaying it in your mind. Gently remind yourself. It's okay that it wasn't perfect. I showed up the best I could in that moment. I can let this rest for now. Let those words land without forcing them to feel true. Just let them be there. Now. Come back to your breath. Take another intentional breath in. And let it out gently. If your mind tries to pull you back in Only notice it. And gently return here. Again. And again. Now notice where you are. The room around you. The surface supporting you. The feeling of being here in this moment. Nothing from that earlier conversation is happening right now. Right now. You are safe to pause. Take one more slow breath in. And a long, Steady breath out. And when you're ready. . . Return to your day. With a little more space. And a little more peace. Namaste.
