Welcome.
Before you do anything else.
Before the day begins.
You are here.
So take a moment to settle into your seat.
Find a space where you feel effortlessness and ease.
Soften down your eyes until they eventually close or find a soft gaze.
There's nowhere to rush to,
Nothing needed from you in this moment.
So take it slow.
And breathe into your body.
And let it go.
Take another breath.
Feel your body receiving the air.
Feel the quiet release as it leaves.
One more breath.
The slowest,
Most nourishing breath of your morning.
This moment is yours.
You do not have to earn this time.
This stillness is just for you.
Notice where you are.
Feel the air.
On your skin.
Feel the support of whatever is beneath you allowing your body to soften.
As you let it be held.
As you breathe here gently,
Let your shoulders soften.
Let your jaw release.
Let your eyebrows,
The skin on your face relax.
Let your belly be soft.
Maybe there's light somewhere.
Maybe the world outside is just beginning to stir.
Or maybe it's quiet.
The world still held in that hush before everything began.
You don't need to be anywhere yet.
You don't need to think about what's coming.
Just feel this.
The body you're in.
The breath that's moving.
The stillness that's holding you.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through the nose.
As you exhale,
Let go of anything that you're already carrying.
Thoughts of the day,
That list that's forming in your mind.
Let it always.
Take another slow breath in.
Imagine drawing in the stillness of the earth.
And breathe out,
Releasing tension from your body.
Take one more soft breath in through the nose.
And as you exhale allow yourself to soften a little bit more.
For these few moments,
You don't have to have everything together.
You don't have to carry the weight of what comes next.
Allow the surface beneath you to hold it for you.
As you let yourself settle a little deeper into this moment.
You are allowed to begin your day slowly,
Gently,
From a place of peace rather than rushing.
To meet the day,
Grounded,
Soft,
In presence with yourself.
Take one more breath.
Slow and full.
And as you exhale maybe something in you softens a little more.
Feel the quiet in your body.
The stillness you've created.
It is yours to carry into the day.
And know that this moment whatever it looks like.
Is enough.
As it is.
How do you?
Are enough.
As you are.
Gently now,
Without rush.
Begin to bring your awareness back to the room that you're in.
Feeling the air on your skin.
Noticing the subtle sounds around you.
And slowly.
Softly.
Begin to open your eyes.
May you move through this day remembering that peace is always here.
Waiting for you to return.
Sound.
