Find a comfortable position for yourself,

Either sitting or lying down,

Whatever works best for you.

Observe how your breathing is at this moment,

Whether it is short or long.

Inhale deeply by filling in from the abdomen to the ribs and the chest.

Exhale the air slowly,

Emptying the chest first,

Then the ribs until reaching the abdomen.

Try to expel all the air inside you with each exhalation.

Now take two more slow deep breaths that way.

Feel your body relax with each exhalation.

When you feel comfortable,

Close your eyes,

Or if you prefer,

Keep them open with a soft look without fixing on anything.

Let your breath flow naturally.

Just watch the air come in and go out.

Now imagine yourself in your favorite place,

Just in case you're not already in it.

The place where you feel calm and relaxed.

Feel this environment welcoming you.

Take a moment to realize what is around you.

What can you see?

Note the silence that embraces you,

The sounds that come and go.

Feel the temperature of this environment that welcomes you.

Notice if there is any smell.

Don't worry about identifying anything,

Just observe.

And take advantage of this moment to just sit there,

Breathing,

With nothing else to do.

Feeling more and more relaxed.

Now imagine that a light is slowly approaching.

In this light,

You see someone's image,

Someone who transmits you peace,

Someone who helps you in difficult times.

This person looks at you and smiles.

And you smile at this person too.

The person extends the hand and you hold the hand with yours.

Feel the temperature of this person's hands as it touches yours.

Imagine that the person whispers in your ears,

I love you.

I am here with you and I will always be with you because I live in your heart.

And you repeat the same to the person.

I love you.

I am here with you and I will always be with you because I live in your heart.

Now it's time to imagine that this person is saying goodbye to you with a smile.

One person leaves the same way that came,

In a beam of light,

Leaving a smile on your lips.

You will slowly bring your attention back to the environment where you are right now,

To the sounds of this environment.

What can you hear?

Now feel the weight of your body on the surface on which it is resting,

Where you are sitting or lying down.

Notice how your breath is now,

Whether it is short or long.

Whenever you feel ready,

Slowly open your eyes if they are not already open.

If you want,

You can make any smooth movement that your body is asking for at this moment,

Such as stretching.

And finish this practice taking this quality of presence that you feel now for the next moments of your day.
