Welcome in,
Right in the middle of your day.
Wherever you are,
At your desk,
In your car,
On a bench somewhere,
Let this be a true pause Let your eyes close or soften your gaze downward.
Take a deep breath in.
And let it go.
The day doesn't need you to keep moving for these next few minutes.
It will wait.
Notice where the morning has settled in your body.
In your shoulders.
Your jaws.
The space between your eyes Let it soften just a little with this next breath.
Feel your feet or your seat connected to the ground beneath you Mother Earth is here too,
Steady beneath this moment.
Just as she was this morning,
And she will be tonight.
Take one more breath in deeply.
And exhale,
Releasing whatever the first half of the day asked of you.
I invite you to silently repeat these words or simply let them move through you.
I pause and the world continues to hold itself.
I am centered.
I return to my center right here,
Right now.
Feel that settle.
This pause is not a delay from your day,
It is part of it.
I am grounded I am grounded even in the middle of motion.
Now take a moment to notice if you've picked up anything along the way this morning.
A mood.
Attention.
An energy that isn't your own.
Any energy that is not mine returns now to where it came from,
With love Everything that is not mine goes back to where it came from.
Imagine it lifting gently from your body and releasing back out into the world no longer yours to carry.
Everything that is not mine goes back to where it came from.
Send this out with love.
Imagine a bubble of light forming around you.
Soul.
Clear.
Protect it.
Maybe you put a color around the edge of this bubble.
As an additional protection.
It surrounds you completely.
Allowing only what is for your highest good to come close.
I am protected within this bubble.
Only what serves my highest good is welcome here.
I am capable of meeting the rest of this day well.
I am exactly where this day needs me to be.
I am allowed to recalibrate.
I am held by the earth beneath me.
Even in the busiest hour.
I am worthy of this breath.
I am worthy of this pause.
I am worthy of this moment of ease.
Take a breath here.
Let that one land,
Worthy of ease even now.
I am steady even when the day is not.
I choose to meet the rest of today with presence.
I choose ease over hustle.
I create space for clarity as I move forward.
I create the rest of this day with intention.
Breathe that in.
Let intention lead the second half of your day.
Now place a hand on your heart if that feels right.
I receive this pause as enough.
I remain centered.
Grounded.
And protected within my own light.
Begin to bring gentle movement back into your fingers and your hands.
Feel the ground beneath you once more.
Patient.
Steady.
Unmoved by the pace of your day.
When you're ready,
Let your eyes open.
Carry this pause with you into whatever comes next.
You return rooted.
Ready.
And whole.
