Today I'll be guiding you through a gentle,

Nourishing practice.

The feeling of being home.

Allow the body to settle in.

To rest.

And begin to notice the flow of the breath.

Feel the places where the body meets the ground or chair.

Maybe placing a hand on the abdomen,

On the heart.

Feeling the pulse of the heart.

That has never stopped beating.

This rhythm that has never left us.

This pulse that has held us through every moment,

Every experience.

And feeling the rise and fall of the breath.

The sensations of the breath in.

The feeling of the breath out.

This breath has never stopped.

And has for nothing in return.

It is reliable.

Never for a moment has it let us down.

The breath knows exactly what to do.

It adjusts moment by moment.

And feeling those places where the body meets the ground.

In the air.

In our clothing.

Feeling our skin.

The barrier to the outside.

Always keeping us safe.

Feeling the bones.

Holding us from within.

These bones that have grown since we were so small.

The same bones.

Steadily supporting us.

All along.

Just feeling this living,

Breathing body.

It's the one thing that has never left us.

The one thing that will never leave us.

There's something so constant here.

So secure.

So safe.

From a quiet source flows every heartbeat.

Every breath.

A subtle presence that is always listening.

There's deep love in every heartbeat.

In every breath.

A wisdom beyond words.

Here you are held.

Here you are home.

Here you are safe.
