Finding a comfortable position that allows your body to feel supported. Perhaps sitting. Perhaps lying down. Allowing the eyes to gently close if that feels comfortable. And feeling yourself here on this earth. Sensing the weight of your body. Feeling gravity gently holding you. A quiet sense of belonging to the earth beneath you. Simply arriving here. There is nowhere to go. Nothing to achieve. Nothing to become. Just this moment. Perhaps finding relief in knowing. That there is only this moment. Now bringing your attention to your body breathing. Noticing that it is always breathing quite naturally. Begin noticing where it's easiest to feel the breath. It might be a coolness you feel in your nostrils on the in-breath. Or a warmth on the upper lip with the out-breath. Maybe you sense a swirling, A tingling in the back of the throat. Or perhaps you feel it in the rise and fall of your chest or belly. Or the sensation of your whole body breathing. Just resting here with the breath. The gentle rhythm of your breath. And now bringing your awareness inward. And simply noticing. How are you arriving in this moment? Without needing to explain it or fix it. Just allowing whatever is here to be here. Perhaps there is ease. Perhaps there is tiredness. Maybe restlessness. Maybe sadness. Whatever is here, Can it simply be here? If you notice your mind wandering. Just gently bringing your attention back to the breath. The rise. The Fool. The quiet rhythm of life moving through you. As the mind begins to settle. Starting to move your awareness from your head into your heart. Imagining a warmth growing in your chest. Just connecting with your heart space. Perhaps placing a hand to your heart. You may notice there is another way of knowing. One that doesn't shout. One that doesn't rush. One that doesn't analyze. Just a quieter voice. Quiet wisdom. One that has been with you all along. You don't need to search for it. You don't need to force it. Simply becoming available to whatever wants to be known. Perhaps asking yourself gently, What do I most need right now? And then listening. We're not looking for the right answer. We're not searching with the mind. Just simply listening to the heart. And allowing whatever arises to arise in its own time. Perhaps nothing comes. And that is perfectly fine. Perhaps a word arises. A feeling. An image. A sensation felt somewhere in the body. It's receiving whatever comes with openness and curiosity. Taking a deep, Slow breath now. And enjoying a long exhale. Trusting that your deepest wisdom reveals itself when there is enough space to hear it. So resting here for a few moments. Breathing. Listening. And now gently widening your awareness once again. And feeling your whole body. Noticing sensations in your body. Any warmth, Coolness, Tingling, Vibration. Any aliveness that's there. Sensing the room around you. The space that is holding you. Becoming aware of your breath. Becoming aware of yourself. Placing your hands on your body. Wherever feels intuitive to you. And just feeling the warmth of your own touch. Feeling your breath. Your body. Your softness. Your connection with this earth. There is a place within you that remains steady beneath all the noise. A place you can return to again and again. This is your breath. This is your body. This is your inner knowing. This is your home. And now whenever you're ready. Gently beginning to deepen the breath. Perhaps wiggling the fingers and toes. Moving your head from side to side. And slowly opening the eyes. Wherever life takes you today. May you always remember the way back to yourself.
