This is your special quiet time.
A time where your body can relax.
And your mind can feel calm and safe.
So let's start by getting really comfortable.
Maybe lying down.
Or sitting somewhere cozy.
And take a slow breath.
Gentle breathing.
And slowly breathe out.
That's it.
Let's do that again.
Breathe in here.
.
.
Nice and slow.
I'm out.
Ready?
Your body soft.
Good now.
As you keep breathing slowly,
You might notice your body starting to feel heavier more relaxed.
More calm.
Your shoulders can soften.
Your arms can rest.
And your hands can feel loose and relaxed.
Now?
Sometimes.
Your brain tries to be a little too helpful.
It sends you big warning signals.
Even when you are actually safe.
Like a smoke alarm going off.
Even when there's no Fire.
And those side notes.
Can feel very real.
They can make your hands feel different.
Or maybe you feel unsure.
But here,
Something important to remember.
That feeling It's just a false alarm.
It's just your brain practicing being extra careful.
But it doesn't mean something is wrong.
Now,
Imagine your brain has a little.
.
.
Worry Boys!
And sometimes that voice gets loud.
Telling you not to use your hands.
Or to be careful.
But you are learning something really powerful.
You are learning that.
You going to have to listen to that voice every time.
You can notice it.
And still choose what you want to do.
Now,
Gently bring your attention to your hands.
Yes,
Notice them!
No need to change anything.
Your hands are strong.
Your hands are safe.
Your hands know how to do.
All the things you need.
They help you play.
They help you eat.
They help you explore the world.
And they are ok.
Just as they are.
Now,
Imagine a call.
Steady feeling moving from your shoulders.
Down your arms,
All the way into your hands.
A warm,
Calm feeling,
Like a soft glow.
And as that calm feeling reaches your hands they feel more relaxed.
More normal.
More like your hands again.
And now.
.
.
Imagine yourself.
Doing something simple.
Maybe holding a piece of food.
Just for a moment.
You might feel a little unsure at first.
And that's OK.
Because you know something important.
Feelings can come.
And feelings can go.
You don't need to fix them.
You don't need to push them away.
And they will slowly fade.
All by themselves.
And as you imagine this.
You might notice something interesting.
The more you stay calm,
The quieter that worry voice becomes.
And the more confident you feel.
You are learning something new every day.
You are learning that you are safe.
That your body is safe.
And that you are in control.
Even when things feel tricky.
You are getting strong.
Now?
Take another slow breath.
Gentle breathing.
And out Let your whole body relax again.
Your mind can feel quiet.
Your body can feel calm.
And your hands can feel relaxed.
Safe.
And ready to do what you need them to do.
And as you rest here,
Just remember.
.
.
You are safe.
You are strong!
And you are in charge.
At all times.
You can stay here as long as you like.
Feeling calm?
Feeling relaxed?
And when you are ready.
.
.
You can gently open your eyes.
Or drift off into a peaceful sleep.
