Hi, This is Teresa, And this is a gentle pause to help your body soften when life feels uncertain. Let's take a moment together. Find a comfortable position and let your body settle just a little more than it has been. You don't need to change anything. Simply notice your breath as it is, And taking a slow breath in and lengthen your exhale. Let the shoulders soften, Let the belly loosen, Let yourself be held. When change is near, It's natural to brace, Even before anything has happened. Your nervous system is simply trying to protect you. But right now, Nothing is required of you. Nothing needs to be figured out. Feel the ground beneath you. Feel how it supports your weight without effort. With your next breath, Imagine sending that support through your legs, Your spine, Your chest, Steadying you from the inside. Inhale possibility, And exhale tension. Inhale the present moment, And exhale the urge to predict the future. You are allowed to pause before the next step. You're allowed to breathe here. This moment is enough. Thank you for taking this pause with me today. If this moment helped you soften, You're welcome to explore my other practices. And I'm wishing you ease as you move into your day. And remember as always, You are loved, You are whole, You are enough.
