Welcome.

This is a short pause.

A gentle moment to step out of the head and return to the world.

Take a breath.

Notice the inhale.

Notice the exhale.

Nothing to manage.

Nothing to control.

Simply breathing.

Feel the support beneath your body.

The steadiness of the chair or the ground holding you.

Let your shoulders drop a little.

Let your jaw soften.

Allow your hands to rest where they are.

So often,

We are caught in thought.

Spinning stories.

Analyzing.

Replaying.

It feels as though we are trapped inside the head.

But notice what is here right now.

The body.

The breath.

The space around you.

This is the world.

This is presence.

From a three principles perspective,

Peace has never left you.

It only looks lost when thought is busy.

Thought is like a cloud passing through the sky.

It may look heavy.

It may feel stormy.

But it is not permanent.

It will pass.

Bring attention back again to the body.

Notice your feet on the floor.

Notice the weight of your body being held.

Notice the rhythm of your breath.

These simple sensations remind you that you are here.

Not in the future.

Not in the past.

But here in the world.

You do not need to silence the mind.

You do not need to achieve a special state.

Awareness itself is enough.

The very noticing that you are in your head is already the shift.

Already the movement back into present.

So,

Let yourself rest now.

For these few moments,

Nothing else is required.

You are already whole.

Already peaceful beneath the noise.

Take one more gentle breath.

And as you exhale,

Allow yourself to return softly to the world around you.

The sounds.

The colors.

The presence of life itself.

Peace is not something you create.

It is who you are.

Always here.

Always waiting.

Thank you for pausing.
