Welcome. I'm Kiani, And I'm glad you're here. For the next few minutes. I invite you to give yourself permission. To slow down. There is nowhere else you need to be. In this present moment. Nothing you need to accomplish. Nothing you need to figure out. Right now. You are simply being invited to rest. Begin by finding. A position. That feels comfortable for you. You may choose to sit. Lie down. Settle into whatever position allows your body as you feel supported. And if it feels comfortable. Gently close your eyes. Or simply soften your gaze. Now. Begin bringing your awareness. To your breath. You don't need to change it. You don't need to make it deeper. Simply notice it. Notice the gentle rhythm. Of breathing in. And breathing out. Another breath in… and slowly breathe out. Allow yourself. To notice. What it feels like. It's your bee here. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just here. In this breath. In this body. In this moment. So much of our lives. Can become centered. Around doing. What needs to happen next? What hasn't been finished? Who needs us? What needs our attention? What we should be doing. What we could be doing. What we haven't done yet. But for these next few minutes, You don't have to do anything. You don't have to be productive. You don't have to have the answers. You don't have to solve anything. You don't have to prove anything. You don't even have to feel a certain way. You are allowed to simply be here. Exactly. As you are. Now gently bring your awareness into your body. Notice where your body is being supported beneath you. Perhaps you can feel. A surface. Underneath your bed. Hurray! Fair feet. Or wherever your body is. Is making contact. Allow that surface to hold some of your weight. You don't have to hold everything right now. If you notice tension anywhere in your body. You don't have to force it to disappear. Simply notice it. Maybe there's tension around your shoulders. Your jaw, Your forehead, Their stomach? Or somewhere else entirely. See if you can offer. That part of yourself. Just a little more softness. Not because it needs to change. But because you are paying attention. Take another comfortable breath in. And as you breathe out, Imagine yourself releasing just a little of what you've been carrying. Another breath in. And breathe out. You don't have to release everything. You don't have to suddenly feel completely peaceful. There is no perfect way. To experience this moment. Whatever your feeling is allowed to be here. Maybe you came here feeling tired. Maybe your mind has been busy. Maybe you've spent so much time caring for other people that you haven't had much time to check in with yourself. Maybe you simply needed somewhere quiet to land for a few minutes. Whatever brought you here? You are welcomed here. For just a moment. Ask yourself quietly. What do I need right now? Don't search for the perfect answer. Just listen. Maybe the answer is rest. Maybe it's space. Maybe it's comfort. Maybe its stillness. Maybe You don't know. And that's okay too. Sometimes reconnecting with ourselves. Doesn't begin with finding an answer. Sometimes, It begins with becoming quiet enough to hear ourselves again. So take this moment. Let it belong to you. Breathe in. . . And breathe out. And if your thoughts wander, That's okay. You haven't done anything wrong. Simply notice where your mind went. And gently. Bringing your attention. Back to your breath. Back to your body. Back to this moment. Before we close, I want to leave you with this reminder. You are allowed to rest before everything is finished. You are allowed to slow down without earning it first. And you are allowed. To have moment. Where your only responsibility is simply. To be. Take one final, Comfortable breath in. And slowly release it. Begin bringing your awareness. Back to the space around you. Notice the sounds around you. Notice the surface beneath you. And whenever you're ready. . . Gently move your fingers. Your toes. Or any part of your body. That feels good to move. And when it feels right. Slowly open your eyes. Thank you for taking these few minutes for yourself. I hope you carry a little of this softness with you. Into the rest of your day. And remember. You don't always have to do more. Sometimes. You are allowed to simply be.
