Welcome.
You are invited to take this practice at your own pace.
If it feels okay,
You can make yourself comfortable.
Or simply stay exactly as you are.
You might begin by noticing the space around you.
Perhaps a sound.
Or something you can see.
Or simply noticing that you are here.
There is no right way to do this.
If it feels comfortable,
You might notice your body.
Any sensation that is present.
Or even the absence of sensation.
There is nothing you need to change.
If it feels helpful.
You can offer yourself these gentle words.
In this moment,
I can meet myself exactly as I am.
Nothing needs to change.
In this moment,
I can meet myself exactly as I am.
Nothing needs to change.
You might notice how the words land in your body.
Or you can simply let the words exist.
And when you're ready.
.
.
You can say to yourself I can go slowly.
Pause.
Or simply listen.
My pace is my own.
I can go slowly,
Pause or simply listen.
My pace is my own.
If it feels okay.
You might gently notice something around you again.
A sound.
A color.
Or a shape.
Or you can stay with your body or your breath.
Any of these is enough.
When it feels right,
You can offer yourself.
However this experience is right now,
It is complete and enough for this moment.
However this experience is right now,
It is complete and enough for this moment.
As this practice comes to an end,
You might take a moment to notice your body.
Or the space around you.
Staying as present or as distant as it feels right.
When you're ready.
You can gently return to your surroundings.
In your own time.
Thank you for being here.
