Inviting you to close your eyes or soften your gaze as feels comfortable.
Inviting you to only do that of this practice that feels good and helpful,
And to not do anything that brings discomfort.
Inviting you to briefly check in with yourself.
On a scale of 1 to 10,
How stressed are you in this moment?
Is that stress helpful right now or would you like it to be different?
If you would,
Or if you're curious,
Inviting you to join me in this quick resourcing practice.
Inviting you to notice your breathing.
No need to change it.
Letting it deepen if it wants to.
Inviting you to scan your body for a place that feels the best.
It might feel good,
It might feel okay,
Or anywhere in between.
Taking some time for that now,
You might start at your head and move down your body,
Sensing for a place where you might rest comfortably for a while.
If you struggle with this,
I often find my earlobes to be pleasantly neutral.
When you've found a spot where it feels comfortable to rest for a bit,
Inviting you to do just that.
Pull out a lounge chair and hang out with this place.
You might notice its shape and qualities.
How big is it?
What temperature?
Doesn't have a particular shape.
Is it perhaps soft?
Or warm.
Or spacious.
Or something else.
Take your time to just be with that.
And if it shifts and changes,
Inviting you to be with that too.
If at any point this stops feeling good,
Please stop the practice.
You may be with this place for a while longer.
Once you're ready to stop,
Consider thanking it and check back in with that stress scale.
Has your number changed?
Wishing you a soft day.
