Begin by finding yourself here in this moment.
This moment is for you.
Maybe you choose to sit or lie down.
Whatever feels best.
This is your practice.
Let all parts of you arrive.
The calm parts,
The overwhelmed parts.
You don't have to fix them.
Just let them be here.
Give yourself this time.
This is your reset.
By now,
Maybe you've softened your gaze or gently closed your eyes.
Again,
It's whatever feels best to you.
Take a slow breath in through your nose and an exhale gently through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale and exhale.
Allow your hands to rest beside you,
Palms facing up,
Open and receptive.
Feel the subtle openness in that gesture.
You're not gripping,
You're not bracing.
You are allowing.
Now take a slightly deeper breath in.
As you exhale,
Peace.
Again,
Inhale.
Imagine you are carrying in peace,
Breathing in steadiness and clarity.
Let it feel your chest,
Your ribs.
Slowly sweep your hands from your waist up toward your head.
And when you reach the top,
Gently release them outward.
Releasing tension and stress,
Overthinking.
Again,
Inhale,
Carrying in peace.
Exhale,
Sweep up with your arms and release down.
Let it feel rhythmic,
Like a tide moving in and out.
Your arms flowing.
This gentle movement is a reminder to your nervous system.
You are safe.
One more time.
Inhale,
Receive.
Exhale,
Sweep and release.
Release the pressure,
Expectation,
Whatever feels heavy.
Let your body move just enough to loosen what's been stuck.
And while you continue to breathe,
Here's something to hold on to.
When you release,
What weighs you down?
You make space for what steadies you.
Feel the subtle shift inside.
You paused.
You let go.
So take one final deep breath in.
Notice the quiet,
The reset.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes and step back into your day.
A little softer,
A little quieter.
Go be kind to yourself out there,
Especially the not-so-darling parts.
