Begin by allowing your body to settle. There is nowhere you need to go and nothing you need to fix. This moment is enough. Let your eyes gently close or soften your gaze. Notice the simple fact that you are breathing. Nothing, No effort required, Just breathe, Moving in and moving out. Take a slow, Deep inhale through the nose, Let it fill the chest, The ribs, The belly. Pause for a brief moment at the top, Then exhale slowly through the mouth, As if releasing a long sigh. Again, Breathe in gently and slowly breathe out. Each exhale is an invitation to soften. Now imagine that somewhere inside your body there is a calm button, A quiet switch. One that does not force or push, But gently resets everything back to balance. With every out breath, Imagine your finger hovering closer to that button, A quiet switch. One that does not force or push, But gently resets everything back to balance. With every breath out, Imagine your finger hovering closer to that button. You don't need to press it yet, Just notice its presence, Steady, Reliable, Always available. Bring your awareness to your shoulders, Notice any holding there. Let them melt downward with the next exhale. Soften the jaw, Unclench the teeth, Let the tongue rest easily in the mouth. Feel the back of your body supported beneath you. Carried. There is nothing you need to hold up on your own right now. As you breathe, Imagine the nervous system beginning to slow, Signals quieting, Edges smoothing out, The body remembering how to feel safe again. Now gently press the calm button, Not with force, But with kindness. As you do, Imagine a wave of ease moving through you. From the top of the head, Down the neck, Across the shoulders, Flowing through the chest and the belly, All the way into the legs and feet. With every breath out, The wave deepens. Your body understands this language, It knows how to let go. Thoughts may still arise, That's okay, You do not need to follow them. Simply let them pass by, Like clouds drifting across a wide open sky. Each breath is slower now, Longer, Softer. You are not trying to sleep. You are allowing rest to come to you. Here, In this space, Nothing is required of you. You are not behind. You are not missing anything. You are exactly where you need to be. Let the calm button stay pressed, Let the system reset, Let the body remember its natural rhythm. Stay with this feeling for a few more breaths. Floating, Settling, Opening to ease.
