Welcome.
Take a moment to arrive here,
Just as you are.
No need to change anything.
No need to be anywhere else.
Let yourself settle.
Let your body soften.
Let your presence return to itself.
Take one slow,
Comfortable breath in,
And a gentle exhale out the mouth,
Quietly,
Inside or out loud.
Say,
I am here.
We'll take three slow breaths.
Each breath will shift your awareness a little deeper inward,
Through the nose for a count of four,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale through the mouth for a count of six,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Feel your awareness drop from your head into the center of your chest,
And quietly say inside,
I live in my body.
Inhale for four,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale for eight,
Two,
Three,
Slow and steady,
Six,
Seven.
Feel not only the space inside your body,
But the space around your body,
The field you are a part of.
Say silently,
Everything is energy.
Inhale for four,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Hold for two.
Exhale for eight,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six,
Seven.
Feel the stillness beneath thought,
The quiet that has always been here.
Say silently,
I am supported.
Let the breath return to natural.
Place one hand gently on your lower belly,
About two or three inches below the navel.
This is your center.
Your gravity,
Your knowing.
Ask inward,
Not with the mind,
But with the body.
What is the most aligned thing for me to do today?
Don't try to chase an answer.
Don't try to think.
Just listen.
Notice what rises.
A person to reach out to,
A simple task to complete,
A place to go,
Or maybe just an inner tone,
A direction,
A pull.
If nothing comes,
That's an answer too.
In that case,
Gently say,
Today I move slowly until clarity arrives.
Trust that.
Now bring one hand to the heart.
Feel the warmth of your own touch.
On the inhale,
Sense energy gathering inward,
Filling your center.
On the exhale,
Imagine it gently radiating outward.
Not to give yourself away,
But to share from fullness.
Say quietly,
I share from overflow,
Not depletion.
Let that land.
Place one hand on your chest,
One on your belly.
Speak slowly with your whole voice,
As if the words are rearranging your nervous system.
I will move at the pace of clarity.
I will follow softness,
Not force.
I am guided.
Take one final slow breath.
Let your eyes open gently.
And as you rise from this practice,
Rise with intention,
Not rushed,
Not already gone.
Take your first steps into the day already aligned.
The flow is already here.
You are already in it.
Thank you for practicing.
May today unfold with clarity,
Ease,
And guidance.
Namaste.
