Transcript

You are invited to take a few minutes just for yourself,

A moment to pause,

To breathe,

To reset.

Wherever you are,

However you are positioned or moving,

Let this moment meet you with care.

There's no one right way to be here.

Let yourself arrive just as you are.

Begin by gently noticing your environment.

Are there sounds nearby or in the distance?

Is there a breeze,

A shift in air,

A sense of light or shadow?

Now notice your body without judgment.

What is present in your shoulders?

Your arms,

Your hands,

Your jaw,

Your center.

If it feels available to you,

Invite just a little more ease,

Perhaps a softening,

Maybe stillness,

Maybe movement.

Let your body know that it is safe to be here.

Now bring your attention to your breath,

Your breath in and your breath out.

Allow the breath to find its own pace.

You don't need to change it,

Just stay with it.

Let this breath remind you,

You are here,

You are alive,

And this moment belongs to you.

If your mind starts to return to earlier conversations,

Tasks,

Or emotions,

Acknowledge them and let them drift to the edges of your awareness.

If thoughts about what comes next for you start to rise up,

You do not need to hold them yet.

This moment is for you.

And now ask yourself this question,

How do I want to show up?

Not just what you want to do,

But how you want to be.

How do I want to show up for what remains of this day?

For others?

For myself?

There may be a word,

An image,

Or a sensation,

Or just a quiet openness.

Let that be enough.

As you breathe in,

Breathe in clarity,

Or courage,

And breathe out tension,

Or expectation.

As you begin to re-enter the flow of your day,

Hold your response,

Or your question,

Gently.

How do I want to show up?

You are enough.

You are here.

And you are invited to begin again,

Anytime.

You are here.
