Greetings.

Take a deep breath in and exhale fully.

Allow yourself to settle,

Knowing that you are exactly where you need to be in this moment.

If you feel weighed down,

Know that you don't have to carry everything at once.

This is a time to pause,

Breathe,

And reconnect with yourself.

Take another deep breath in and as you exhale,

Imagine releasing just a little bit of the heaviness you've been holding.

Feel the ground beneath you,

Steady,

Strong.

It is holding you,

Supporting you,

Asking nothing of you.

Let yourself be held.

Now simply notice how you feel.

No need to change anything here.

Just observe with kindness.

If there's a part of you that feels heavy,

Numb,

Or disconnected,

Take a moment to acknowledge it.

Gently say to it,

I see you.

I know you're here.

Now imagine placing this feeling outside of yourself.

Maybe it's a mist drifting away,

Or a cloud crossing the sky,

Or a shape sitting beside you.

It's not all of you.

It's just one part.

You are still here.

You are still whole.

Now shift your focus to the part of you that is resilient,

Strong,

And capable.

Even on your hardest days,

This part of you has never left.

It may feel small right now,

But it is still here.

Place your hand on your heart and repeat,

I am not my thoughts.

I am so much more.

Even when it's hard,

I keep moving forward.

There is light within me,

Even if I can't see it.

As you breathe,

Imagine this light growing,

Filling you with warmth and quiet strength.

Take one final deep breath in and exhale slowly.

Gently bring movement back to your fingers and toes.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes,

Knowing that you are more than this moment.

You are resilient,

You are enough,

And you are still rising.
