Welcome,
This moment is for you,
To pause,
To breathe,
To listen,
To arrive here,
Now,
Just as you are.
To be centered is to rest in the middle of it all,
Not pulled by past or future,
Not scattered in many directions.
Centered is the place of wholeness within you,
Where stillness and strength meet.
Closing your eyes now,
Breathing in and out through your nose,
Inhale,
Drawing into your center,
Exhale,
Releasing what pulls you away,
With every breath returning home to your center.
Breathing gently,
Allow these words to return you inward,
Inhale,
I return,
Exhale,
To my center,
Inhale,
I return,
Exhale,
To my center,
Again,
Inhale,
I return,
Exhale,
To my center.
Inhale,
I return,
Exhale,
To my center,
Once more,
On your own,
And now,
Let the words become quiet,
Nothing to reach for,
Nothing to resist,
Only your breath,
Only this moment,
Resting here,
Centered,
Noticing your breath again,
Moving in and out through your nose,
Noticing your body resting here,
Offering some gentle movement,
Opening and closing your hands,
Releasing any remaining grasp.
When you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Bringing your center with you.
To be centered is to be at home within yourself,
Steady and whole.
As you return to your day,
Remember,
You are centered in every breath,
Every step,
Every moment.
Thank you for taking this time.
May you return again and again to your breath,
To your center,
To stillness.
