Hello and welcome.

Take a moment to settle into stillness.

Find a position that feels supportive,

Sitting upright with your feet grounded and your palms open.

If it's comfortable for you,

Gently close your eyes.

Bring your attention to your breath.

Inhale through your nose.

Exhale slowly through your mouth.

Allow the rhythm of your breath to guide you inward.

With each exhale,

Feel yourself softening,

Settling.

Imagine a single butterfly,

Resting gently in your open hand.

Its wings move softly,

A dance of grace and intention.

The slightest movement sends a whisper through the air,

Unseen but powerful.

Each breath you take carries the same quiet strength.

Invisible ripples moving outward,

Touching everything around you.

Your presence,

Your calm,

Shifts the air in ways you may never fully know.

Picture the butterfly taking flight.

Watch its wings shimmer as it rises.

Each flutter creating waves of gentle movement,

Circles of energy expanding outward.

These waves move through your space.

Feel this connection.

How every small moment of mindfulness,

Every act of love,

Sends something beautiful into motion.

Now imagine yourself as part of this flow.

See your thoughts,

Your breath creating ripples of calm and compassion.

My smallest actions create meaningful change.

I am part of something greater than I can see.

Every breath I take brings peace to the world around me,

And the world softens in response.

I trust in the quiet power of my presence.

Exhale completely.

Feel the support beneath you,

The surface holding you,

The air around you,

The peace within you.

Carry this awareness forward.

A reminder that even your smallest moments of calm creates ripples of harmony.

And step back into your day and aware of your beautiful impact.

Thank you.
