Close your eyes,
Take a slow breath in through your nose and gently exhale through your mouth Again,
Inhale slowly and release There is nothing you need to solve right now,
Nothing you need to fix This moment is enough Bring your awareness to your shoulders,
Let them soften,
Let them drop Unclench your jaw,
Relax your tongue Soften your forehead,
Take another slow breath in And as you exhale,
Imagine your body receiving the message Working hard,
Protecting you,
Preparing you,
Anticipating But right now,
There is no danger here,
Only this breath,
Only this moment Feel your chest rise and fall,
Rise and fall If thoughts appear,
Let them pass like clouds You don't have to chase them,
You don't have to hold them Bring your awareness to your heart,
Place a gentle hand there if it feels good And silently say,
I am safe in my body I am allowed to soften,
I am allowed to rest Take one final deep breath in,
Hold it gently at the top And slowly release When you are ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Carry this softness with you
