Hello and welcome. I'm really grateful you're here right now. Close your eyes and take a slow breath in. Let your belly and chest rise with fullness. And then release the air out. All the way out. Now ease into a slow but natural rhythm of breathing. Breathing in and breathing out. Letting the cadence of your breath slow you down. Now feel your body wherever you're seated. Feet on the ground, Back supported. And hands resting wherever they feel at ease. You might notice a buzz of nerves. Tightness in the chest. Maybe even a mind planning out every what-if. Let all of that be okay. Anxiety is only your body trying to keep you safe. Take a gentle inhale through your nose. And then let a long breath fall out through your mouth. Look around for a moment. You are surrounded by people. All moving towards something or someone they love. Heal thy shared humanity. Now bring your attention down to the ground beneath you. The floor, The earth. Steady and unwavering. Always here. Always holding you. Airplanes will ride. Your breath does not leave you. Your inner calm does not leave you. So let your inhale fill you with grounded strength. And let your exhale release every gripping thought, One by one. Notice the small movements of the plane. And the quiet sounds around you. Let them simply exist without needing to mean anything. They're just sounds. Just movement. There's nothing to fear. Breathe into your belly. Expanding it softly like a balloon, Slowly filling with peace. And then on your exhale, Let that balloon deflate. Emptying all the tension from your ribs, Your throat, Your shoulders. Feel the safety around you. As if the entire cabin is wrapped in a warm cocoon. You are supported by skilled hands. And guided skies. Right now, The only thing you have to do is free. Just breathe. Breathe in. Grounding. Breathe out. Tangent. Deep in. . . Centered. Breathe out. Release. Trust the breath within you. Because it never leaves. Trust yourself. To feel peace. No matter the altitude. One more breath in. Steady and sure. One more breath out. Letting all Don't worry Namaste. Beautiful.
