Feel the water meet your skin.
Feel it land softly finding every surface.
Take a slow breath in through your nose and slowly exhale through your mouth.
We wear a kind of armor every day.
The one that helps us show up,
Hold it together,
And keep it all going.
It protects us but it also collects the day.
The words you swallowed,
The worries you carried,
And the things you didn't say.
Now let the water start to clean that armor for you.
Every drop rinsing away the dust of the day.
Feel the heaviness lift,
The residue release,
And with the next layer of water,
Visualize the kinks in your armor smoothing out,
The dents easing,
The cracks sealing.
Visualizing your armor slowly repairing itself under the warm flow of water.
Still strong but feeling softer,
Still steady but feeling lighter.
Breathe in and feel that renewal and as you breathe out,
Feel the weight leave the body.
Allow yourself to stand here for a moment longer,
Clear and unguarded.
You're safe to rest and you're safe to just be.
And when you're ready,
Take one last deep breath,
Step out steady,
Restored,
And whole again.
