Hi, I am Shakti Shilpa and welcome to my channel. Take a moment to pause. Wherever you are, Allow yourself these next few minutes to do absolutely nothing else. You don't need to fix anything. You don't need to figure anything out. Just pause. If it feels comfortable, Close your eyes. And notice where you are right now. Notice the surface underneath you. The weight of your body. The sounds around you. And then notice your breath. No need to change it yet. Just notice that you're breathing. Now take a slow comfortable breath in. And a little slower breath out. Again, Breathing in gently. And breathing out, Allowing the body to soften just a little. One more time, A slow breath in. And a long, Easy breath out. Now let your breathing return to its natural rhythm. Notice if anything has shifted. Maybe your shoulders have dropped a little. Maybe your jaw has softened. Maybe your mind feels just a little less busy. And if it doesn't, That's okay too. You don't have to feel completely calm for this pause to be useful. Sometimes three minutes is simply enough to remind yourself. I can stop. I can breathe. I can begin again. Take one more comfortable breath. And when you're ready. Gently open your eyes. Thank you for taking this time for yourself. Carry this little bit of space with you into whatever comes next. Take care and I'll see you in the next meditation.
