Welcome, Darling. What brought you here today? Whatever it is, Let this be your pause. Let this be the moment you stop running from yourself. You do not need to have it all figured out right now. Find a comfortable position, Maybe that's seated or lying down. Just allow the body to settle. If it feels safe for you, Gently close your eyes or simply soften your gaze. Just arrive, No need to perform calm, No need to force peace. Take a slow breath in and a gentle exhale out. Again, One breath in. Now, Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly. Feeling the body breathing beneath your hands. Feel yourself here. You are here now. You are safe in this moment. Sometimes people say, Calm down. And maybe those words have felt dismissive before. Maybe they made you feel unseen. Maybe they landed like pressure when what you needed was compassion. So today, We soften those words. Instead of calm down, We say, I hear you, I'm listening, It's okay to feel this. Breathe it out slowly. Now, Quietly ask yourself, What brought me here today? What has been weighing on you? What emotion has been asking for attention? What trigger is still living in the body? Just notice it. And then I ask you to say silently within, I hear you, I'm listening. There is no need to hold it all so tightly. Just imagine your emotions like waves. They rise, They move, They pass. You are the shore strong enough to hold it. Repeat softly within your mind or take a deep breath in. And exhale out what no longer serves you. Inhale compassion. Exhale self judgment. Inhale steadiness. Exhale overwhelm. Maybe your breath is slower. Maybe your body is softer. Maybe there is simply a little more room inside you now. Healing does not always look dramatic. Sometimes healing sounds like a deep breath. Sometimes peace begins with being willing for a moment of stillness. One final deep breath in. Wiggle your fingers and toes. Taking one final deep breath in. Slowly blink the eyes open. Return to your day less in your feelings and more with your feelings. Calmer, Kinder, More connected to yourself. You know how to come back home now.
