Welcome back,
Tonight is an invitation to ground,
To feel the quiet strength beneath you,
And let your body settle.
Let yourself get comfortable,
There is nothing you need to do,
Just arrive.
Take a slow breath in through your nose,
And gently exhale through your mouth.
Once more,
Inhale,
And release.
Let your breath settle into its own rhythm now,
Let it be natural,
Let it be enough.
Now bring your awareness to the weight of your body.
Notice how it rests into the bed,
How the mattress gives way.
You are resting with the earth tonight,
Not on top of it,
Not above it,
With it.
Bring attention to your feet,
Let the weight move through your heels,
Into the mattress,
Into the floor,
Into the ground below.
Now feel your legs,
The shins,
Calves,
Thighs,
Let them all release downward.
Feel your hips and lower torso settle,
The space around your abdomen and back.
Let it all drop a little deeper,
Trust the earth to support you.
Bring awareness to the center of your chest.
Feel the breath moving through,
Quiet,
Even,
Unforced.
With every exhale,
Feel yourself sink more fully into the surface beneath you.
Let your shoulders rest,
Your arms,
Your hands.
Let your jaw unhold,
Your eyes soften,
Your forehead smooth.
Now imagine that the earth is breathing with you,
A slow,
Steady rhythm.
As you exhale,
It receives,
As you inhale,
It gives.
This support is always here,
Even when the day is full.
Right now,
It's enough to feel the weight of your own body and the steadiness beneath it.
If you'd like,
Repeat these words in your mind.
I am supported by the ground beneath me,
It's safe to rest.
There is no right way to feel,
No goal to reach.
Only this moment,
Only this breath,
Only this quiet return.
Let yourself rest deeper,
Feel the support beneath you.
