Welcome.
Wherever you are right now.
Just go ahead and stop whatever it is that you're doing.
Let your spine settle.
And feel the heavy,
Solid support of the ground or cushions beneath you.
Go ahead and close the eyes.
And bring your attention entirely inside your own skin.
We're gonna let go of whatever happened before you sat down.
And leave whatever comes next for later.
Right now,
There is nowhere else you need to be.
And nothing else you need to fix.
As the external noise drops away,
You might notice a sudden restlessness trying to rise up.
Tightening in your chest.
Or a buzzing in the muscles.
Or a mental urge telling you to stand back up to clean a counter.
And in practice,
We call this your edge.
It's the boundary where you meet your own resistance.
It is the exact place where slowing down feels noticeably uncomfortable.
And we aren't here to fight that discomfort or necessarily push past it with force.
And we are not going to run away from it.
We are just going to stay right here at the edge.
Giving the body time to realize that it's safe enough to let go of its arms.
So let's take a deep breath and bring that into the center of your chest.
And then hold it lightly at the top.
Just a small pause.
And then let it go with a soft,
Slow exhale.
We spend so much of our lives in the young energy,
The doing,
The striving,
The constant forward momentum.
But you cannot balance fire with more fire.
And you cannot rush your way into rest.
So right now you are choosing the yen.
You are choosing the being.
If your mind is screaming a checklist.
Just notice the thoughts without jumping into them.
Remind your nervous system that nothing is on fire.
There is no urgency in this room.
And you are allowed to step out of the hustle.
And simply exist.
So let the muscles in your jaw soften.
Drop your shoulders away from your ears.
And let your belly go completely soft.
And just breathing in that stillness.
Exhaling out that sense of urgency.
Breathing in permission to rest.
Exhaling the pressure to hustle.
Taking that breath in.
And then hold it.
And exhaling it in.
So each breath in,
Just feeling that spaciousness.
Each exhale out just feeling your own presence in this moment.
The outside world is not going to slow down for you.
But its speed doesn't mean that you can't choose a different rhythm inside your own skin.
You do not have to earn the right to stop.
You are allowed to hold this space right now.
And you have stayed through the restlessness.
You might your edge and you breathe through it.
And by doing this,
You are anchoring a completely new frequency for yourself.
And for your family.
And truly learning to transform the energy that you parent.
So take one final deep breath.
Filling your entire body with space and then hold it at the top.
And then exhale,
Let it all drop.
And go ahead,
Gently blink open your eyes.
Notice the quiet that you created from the inside out.
And.

Thank you so much for practicing with me today.
