Soothing touch. Bringing your hand to rest on your upper chest. Closing your eyes. And just beginning to tune in to the feel of your body underneath your hand. And the feel of the warmth of the hand within the chest and the heart space. So offering yourself this simple gesture of goodwill, Of tenderness and kindness. If you find it helpful you might silently say to yourself, It's okay, It's alright. Or you might choose a different phrase you might say to yourself, May I be kind to myself. May I accept myself just as I am. May I be peaceful. So feeling the contact between your hand and your body. And perhaps finding your own words to offer yourself this gesture of self compassion. And as we bring this practice to a close, Perhaps setting an intention to pause from time to time as you move through your day. To bring your hand back in contact with your heart. To offer yourself this kind and tender touch. And then when you're ready, Continuing with your day. Thank you.
