Welcome,
You are invited to take this practice at your own pace.
If it feels ok,
You can make yourself comfortable or you can stay exactly as you are.
We will begin by gently noticing the space around you.
You might notice a sound you can hear right now or a solid object somewhere in the room.
There is no right way to do this,
Simply noticing in whatever way feels easiest.
If it feels comfortable,
You can let your eyes soften or gently close and if not,
Keeping them open with a relaxed gaze is perfectly ok.
You are always the one choosing how close or how far you want to be from this experience.
When it feels helpful,
You can offer yourself a gentle phrase.
My body knows how to protect itself by slowing down.
For now,
I don't need to override that.
Notice how your body responds or notice that nothing responds at all.
There is nothing to force,
Nothing to fix,
Simply letting your body be at its own pace,
In its own way.
When it feels right,
You can offer yourself another phrase.
For now,
I can let this moment be simple.
Being still is ok as it is.
Let the words land in whatever way they do.
Or if words feel like too much,
You can simply rest in your own presence for a moment.
When it feels supportive,
You can gently say.
Even without movement or feeling,
My body is doing enough already.
I can rest here for a moment.
Even without movement or feeling,
My body is doing enough already.
I can rest here for a moment.
As we come toward the end,
Notice the space around you.
One sound you can hear or one thing you can see.
There is no rush.
Whenever you are ready,
You can gently return to your surroundings in your own time.
Thank you for being here.
