Welcome! Find a comfortable position. And gently close your eyes. Bring your attention to your breath. Not to change it. Not to control it. Simply to notice. Now become aware of your thoughts. Your emotions. And the sensations in your body. Remember. You are not every thought. That crosses your mind. You are not every feeling. That moves through you. You are the quiet awareness. Witnessing it all. Imagine your thoughts as clouds passing through the sky. Some may be dark. Some may be bright. But none of them. Are the entire sky. Allow whatever appears. To come and go. Without judgment. You don't have to hold on to every worry. You don't have to carry every story. With each breath. Create a little more space within yourself. A space for peace. A space to return home to yourself. Take a deep breath in. And as you exhale. Release what you no longer need to carry. You are the calm beneath the noise. You are the observer. And you can return to this place. Whenever you need.
