Welcome dear soul, My name is Sandhya. Wherever you are, Whatever is happening around you, Give yourself permission to stop. We have three minutes together and I'm here with you. Bring your awareness down into your body. Slowly, Feel the feet resting on the grain beneath you, Solid, Steady, Supportive. Feel your heels, The arches of the feet, Ball of the feet and the toes. Gently press them down into the ground if it helps, As if reminding yourself you are here, You are supported. Take a deep breath in through your nose, Allow the belly and chest to expand and exhale slowly through your mouth, As though you're letting a weight roll off your shoulders. Again, Inhale deeply, Filling your body with your breath. And as you exhale completely, Soften your jaw, Your face and your chest. And once more together, Inhale and exhale, Arriving fully here with my words and your breath. Overwhelm and anxiety often come from thoughts racing ahead, But in this moment, You're right here, Right now. You notice you are safe, There may be things you need to tend to, But in this moment, Just slow down. Feel the grain beneath you, The air around you and the rhythm of your breath. And now gently ask yourself, What is one kind way you can support yourself right now? Allow the answer to arise with no pressure and trust that whatever comes is enough for this moment. So, Take a breath in and as you exhale, Allow you to carry that kindness forward as you gently open your eyes.
