Use this practice anytime you need to center yourself quickly.
Start by sitting comfortably and closing your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so.
Take a deep full breath in and a deep breath out.
And now with me to the count of four,
Inhale for one.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Hold for one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Inhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Hold for one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Inhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Hold for one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Now breathe normally and think of a word,
Just one word that you need to call in to your energy space for the rest of this day.
What energy do you need for the rest of this day?
Pick a word.
And now for the next several breaths,
I want you to imagine that you are literally inhaling the energy of this word.
That you are breathing it in and it's healing you,
Every crevice of your inner and outer body gets bathed and soothed by its energy.
Every worry,
Every doubt gets soothed and cleared and healed by the energy of this word.
The word can turn into a color or a texture as you do this.
Just breathe and fill yourself up.
Let's do it together.
Inhale deeply.
Exhale,
Let it out.
Inhale call in your words.
Exhale let them permeate through you.
Exhale take in what you need.
Exhale let it move through every spot of your body.
Inhale on your own now.
Inhaling in your word.
One last time.
Now just place your hands over your heart,
Right over the center of your chest if you've moved them.
And I want you to use your word in an I am statement.
So if your word was joy,
You would say I am joy.
But you fill in the blank with your word.
Go ahead and do this in your mind now.
I am.
Repeat that in your mind a few more times.
And commit to bringing this energy to your day.
You got this.
