Welcome.

Take a moment to arrive just as you are.

You do not need a quiet room or perfect conditions.

You only need you.

If you can,

Let your feet find the ground or the floor.

Allow your shoulders to soften away from your ears.

And take a slow steady breath in through your nose.

And a long deliberate breath out through your mouth.

Great work.

We're going to do that again.

Take a slow steady breath in through your nose.

And a long deliberate breath out through your mouth.

Now I invite you to notice your body.

Notice the energy sitting just beneath your skin.

The anticipation,

Maybe the pressure,

The sense of I need to get this right.

You don't need to push it away.

Just acknowledge it and allow your breath to create space around it.

Take another slow inhale.

And with your exhale,

Imagine the excess tension melting down through your legs and out through the soles of your feet.

Feel the ground holding you.

Feel the floor supporting you.

You are steady.

You are anchored.

I now invite you to bring one hand to your lower ribcage or your heart,

Whichever feels most natural.

And hear these words as if they're coming from within you.

I am here.

I am prepared.

I am capable.

Allow those words to land,

Not as motivation,

As truth.

Now gently shift your attention upwards as if you're expanding into your full height.

Imagine yourself stepping into the room with quiet authority.

No rush.

No shrinking.

Just presence.

See yourself taking your seat or standing at the front or beginning the conversation.

Notice your posture.

Notice the calm in your face.

Notice how grounded you feel.

This is your energy setting the tone.

This is your nervous system leading the way.

Now take one more breath in.

A full breath that expands your lungs.

And exhale slowly,

Letting your jaw unclench and your mind clear.

You are resourced.

You belong here.

And you're ready.

When you're prepared,

Open your eyes or lift your gaze and walk in as the person who knows they can handle whatever unfolds next.
