You may have been moving through a busy day,
Dealing with everything that has been asking for your attention.
For these few moments,
You can let everything remain exactly where it is and give yourself permission to simply be here.
Bring your attention gently to the feeling of your body being supported.
Notice the surface beneath you.
The weight of your body resting there.
And the natural rhythm of your breathing.
Just allow yourself to notice this one simple experience,
Letting your attention settle here for a little while.
Perhaps this can be a small reminder that you are allowed to give your attention to one thing at a time.
You don't have to anticipate everything that is coming.
Remember everything that has happened or respond to everything that is asking for you.
For now,
There is only this moment.
And you can let it be enough.
And if thoughts begin to move through your mind,
That's okay.
You don't have to push them away.
Let them pass through in their own time,
While you return gently to what is here now.
One breath.
One sensation.
One moment.
You don't need to hold everything in your mind at once.
Let your mind have a little more space.
Let your body soften into the moment.
For a little while,
Imagine a soft light beginning to glow somewhere within you.
Perhaps you sense it somewhere around the center of your body.
Warm and quiet,
Like a small source of light that has always been there.
Feel its warmth spreading slowly through the space around it.
Touching the places within you that have been holding so much.
With each breath,
Perhaps the light becomes a little more spacious.
Moving gently through your body.
Softening whatever it meets.
You might imagine it flowing through your whole body,
Creating a quiet sense of warmth and ease.
Stay with the feeling of this light for a few moments.
Notice its softness.
It's warm.
And its gentle presence.
And now,
Slowly,
Allow your attention to return to the space around you,
While keeping a little of that quiet warmth with you.
Take a moment to notice your body.
Your breath.
And the support beneath you.
And let yourself remember that you can always return to this simple place within yourself.
When you feel ready,
Gently open your eyes and come back to your surroundings,
Carrying with you the reminder that you don't have to hold everything at once.
You can pause,
Breathe and meet whatever comes next,
One thing at a time.
