Welcome to this guided practice,

A time set aside just for you You've given so much of yourself in service,

And now,

This space is here to serve your well-being Find a comfortable position,

Sitting or lying down If it feels right,

Gently close your eyes,

Or simply soften your gaze Let your hands rest easily As you settle,

Notice the solid ground beneath you Feel its steady support Welcome the stillness with gratitude Nothing is required of you right now You don't need to plan,

Prepare,

Or respond Just allow yourself to arrive here,

In this moment Bring attention to your breathing Notice the inhale,

And notice the exhale No need to change it,

Just observe the natural rhythm If your mind wanders,

Gently guide it back to your breath Each inhale,

Bringing calm And each exhale,

Releasing tension Carrying a balancing flow throughout your body Now,

Bring awareness to your body Notice your shoulders,

Allow them to soften with each breath Feel the weight of your arms Notice the rise and fall of your chest If there's any tightness,

Breathe gently into that space And with each exhale,

Invite release Allow yourself to let go Take a final deep breath in And slowly breathe out Carry this calm with you,

Knowing that stillness is also a form of strength You've given yourself these minutes of care,

And that is powerful When you're ready,

Gently open your eyes or lift your gaze May you feel grounded,

Steady,

And at ease
