Welcome to Vegas Nerve Meditation for Nervous System Regulation. Allow yourself to become completely comfortable now and become aware of the surface beneath you. Notice the support that is already here. The places where your body meets that support. The steady weight of your body resting into it. Take a beautiful, Easy breath in. And a long. Gentle breath out. Again, Breathing in. And allowing the exhale to take a little more time. And simply notice this moment. The space around you. The light the temperature of the air. Quiet sounds nearby. Let your awareness rest here for a while. In this room. In this body. In this moment. And perhaps you become aware of something very simple. You are here. Take another comfortable breath in. And slowly breathe out. Perhaps allowing the next exhale to become a little longer. Easy. Unhurried. Complete. And again, A gentle breath in. And a long. Slow breath out. Notice what begins to happen in the spaces between the breaths. Quiet after the exhale. The natural arrival of the next breath. Steady rhythm continuing through you. And perhaps placing a hand over your heart or chest. Becoming aware of the warmth of your own hand. Your hand resting there. Your breath moving beneath it. Your own presence meeting you here. And quietly, I am here. I am with myself. Allow those words to become part of your rhythm. Breathing in. Breathing out. I am here. And as you relax here. Perhaps you become aware of the steadiness beneath all the movement of life. Your breath continues. Your body is supported. This moment continues to hold you. Perhaps your awareness begins to expand outward again. The room around you. The air against your skin. Quiet movement of life nearby. And then inward again, Your breath. Your body, Your presence. Outward. Into the space around you. And inward, Back to yourself. You may begin to discover a gentle rhythm in this too. The world around you. And the world within you. Awareness expanding outward and returning inward. Always returning here. Take another beautiful breath in. And enjoy. A long, Easy breath out. And perhaps there's a growing familiarity in this experience. The surface beneath you, The space around you, The movement of your breath. Your hand resting over your heart or chest, Your own quiet presence. Simple things that can become familiar pathways back to yourself. And you might imagine carrying this familiarity with you into an ordinary moment sometime later. Perhaps you're moving through your day. And naturally become aware of your feet against the ground. Or you notice your breath and allow one longer exhale. Perhaps your hand finds its way to your heart for a moment. And something within you remembers. I am here. I am with myself. Maybe it happens while sitting in your car. Walking through a doorway. Waiting for something. Beginning your morning. Ending your day. Small moments woven naturally into your life. And each return can become increasingly familiar. Breath. Point of contact. A moment of awareness. Return to your own presence. Perhaps there is something quietly reassuring about knowing this place is available to you. With an ordinary breath. Within the support beneath you. Within the simple act of noticing. I am here. Take another beautiful breath in. And let the exhale become long. Slow. And easy. And stay here for a few moments, Supported. Present. Connected to yourself. I am here. I am with myself. And now begin to become more aware of the space around you, The light. The air. Quiet sounds nearby. Become aware of the surface beneath you. The steady support underneath your body. Perhaps bringing gentle movement into your fingers and toes, Allowing your awareness to expand. Take one final beautiful breath in and a long. . . Easy breath out. And as you return fully to the room, Perhaps you carry with you this simple familiarity. The ground beneath you. The breath within you. Your own presence here. I am here. I am with myself. You
