Welcome.
This is your gentle pause.
A moment to breathe.
Soften.
And doodle your calm.
All you'll need.
Is a pen and some paper.
As we take a moment to breathe.
Let's begin by closing your eyes or just softening your gaze.
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
And gently exhaling through your mouth with a sigh.
Let's do this one more time.
Take a slow breath in through your nose and exhale gently through your mouth with a sigh.
And as you do this,
Feel your shoulders relaxing.
Your body softening and your mind begins to settle.
Pause here with two breaths.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Breathing in and breathing out.
And now we're going to take a moment to doodle the breath.
Take your pen and place it on the page.
As you breathe in.
Let your line rise,
Maybe as a gentle curve or maybe a wave or even a circle.
As you breathe out,
Let the line fall.
Or soften.
As you inhale,
Draw upward.
As you exhale,
Draw downward.
There is no right or wrong way.
Just your breath.
Moving the pen on the page.
Pause for a moment now.
Three breaths or four breaths as you doodle.
Goes up.
And down.
Look at the lines you've created.
They are a reflection of your calm.
Your presence in this moment.
Whenever you need to pause,
You can return to the simple practice.
One breath,
One line,
One moment of calm.
Thank you for giving yourself this time.
