In this space. You don't have to fix anything. You don't have to get anything right. It's a space where you can simply feel. We're not here to figure it out. We're here to stay present. With what's alive inside you. Without rushing it. Without pushing it away. And so starting by finding a comfortable position. Letting your body rest in a way that feels safe. Letting your arms be heavy. Letting your belly be soft. And closing your eyes. If that feels okay. Or softening your gaze. And then taking a gentle breath in through your nose. And exhaling slowly through your mouth. Just continuing in this way. Softening into the now. And as you do, Allowing your attention to flow within. Noticing what's happening in your inner space. What do you feel? As you take your attention with it. Maybe you noticed something clear. Sadness. Anger. Thighty. Tenderness. Maybe you feel a fog. Numbness. Confusion. Even resistance. Whatever's here. Just letting it be here. And whatever arises, Being with it. Meeting it with your breath. Letting the breath flow gently through the feeling. Or the sensation. Like wind through tall grass. Like water. Riding over stone. Each inhale, Allow it. Each exhale softening. And just continuing in this way. With each exhale. Feeling yourself letting go a little more. Trusting in that support. Allowing yourself to be helped. As you continue to stay with what's here. No need to interpret anything that arises. Just being with what's here. Like a quiet friend. See it. Witnessing. Allowing it to move in its own time. If thoughts come. I'll judge her. Simply returning to the breath. And the practice once you know it. With each inhale, Breathing into what's here. Each exhale. Just letting go. Feeling how powerful it is. To stay. To breathe. To show up for yourself. To be with what's here. Few more breaths like this. Whatever's present. Just being with it. And then slowly letting go of that practice. And returning to your normal rest. Letting the experience settle. Letting your body continue to integrate. Taking as much time as you want or need in this space. Only when you're ready. Opening your eyes. Noticing how you feel.
