Let's take some time to close the gap between stress and peace.

Life is full of stresses but we don't have to live trapped in stress.

Today I'll guide you through a simple practice to move from stress to peace.

In this guided breathing I want you to inhale and when you do you inhale growth and when you exhale you release.

So let's try that.

Inhale,

Growth.

Exhale,

Release.

Let's do that once more.

Inhale,

Growth.

Exhale,

Release.

Now I'm going to take you through a little visualization.

Picture yourself stepping across a small bridge,

Leaving stress behind,

Moving forward toward peace.

Say these words of affirmation,

I choose peace,

I choose present.

Let's affirm that once more.

I choose peace,

I choose presence.

Whenever you feel stress rise,

Come back to your breath and remember you have the power to close the gap between stress and peace.

Namaste.
