Overwhelm is simply the nervous system working harder than it needs to. Your system is asking for gentleness and will honour that now. Allow your jaw to relax and the body to be held. Allow the ground beneath you to support you. And you are safe to let go. Let's practice 4-7-8 breathing together. Softly inhale 2-3-4 hold 2-3-4-5-6-7 and out for 8-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. Allow your breath to be at its regular rhythm now. If thoughts wander, That's ok, Bring your awareness back to my voice. You are here, You are safe. You are held. And now bring your awareness to your heart's centre at the centre of the chest. Maybe place your hand here if it feels comforting and imagine a soft warm light glowing at the centre of the chest. If you can't imagine just know that it's there, Trust. This light says you've done enough. You are safe and you are allowed to rest. And with each natural breath that you take, This light begins to grow brighter. It helps release any emotional weight you've been carrying. And it spreads across the chest and drifts down into the shoulders, Down the arms, To the elbows, Forearm, Wrists, Hands and fingers. Each arm is glowing. Light travels down to the pelvis in the hip and travels down the left leg, To the knee top of the foot, Sole of the foot and to the toes. Light travels down the right leg, Upper leg, Knee, Top of the foot, Sole of the foot and the toes. Light spreads back up the legs, Filling any spaces that were missed, To the pelvis, Up the spine in the torso, To the shoulders, The arms in the hands, Travelling up to the neck, The chin, The ears, Face and head. Your whole body is wrapped in warmth, Held by this gentle glow. Perhaps you notice waves of heaviness, Quiet stillness or a soft floating sensation. Follow the softness. Each breath you take draws you deeper and deeper into rest. You are safe. You are loved. You are enough.
