Welcome.
Thank you for being here and for choosing to make yourself a priority today.
This is your mandala card of the day,
A gentle pause to breathe,
Reflect and explore.
Before we begin,
I invite you to have a journal or blank page nearby along with a pen.
This session includes time for journaling.
For now,
Allow yourself to settle in.
There's nothing to fix,
Nothing to figure out,
Just this moment and this breath.
When you're ready,
Gently close your eyes and let's begin.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose and a long,
Easy breath out through your mouth.
Again,
Breathe in deeply and softly release the breath.
Allow your shoulders to relax.
Let go of any tension.
Let your body arrive fully in this moment.
The theme today is thank you.
Thank you is a simple phrase,
Yet it carries deep power.
It is an acknowledgement of what has been given,
Learned and received.
When you say thank you,
You pause long enough to recognize effort,
Care,
Presence and growth.
Gratitude does not mean everything was easy or perfect.
It means that something meaningful was experienced and honored.
Thank you can be offered outward to others and inward to yourself.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for trying.
Thank you for continuing even when it was hard.
This quiet appreciation softens the heart and brings perspective.
It reminds us that within every season,
There's something worthy of recognition even if it arises wisdom rather than as comfort.
Today,
Let thank you be a moment of stillness,
A breath of appreciation,
A gentle closing of a chapter or a mindful acknowledgement of where you stand right now.
Now,
I invite you to turn inward and explore this theme more deeply through journaling.
You'll have two minutes to write.
Go ahead now and open your eyes if you haven't already done so.
Your journal prompt today is what or who do I want to say thank you to and why does it matter to me?
So who or what do you want to acknowledge and why does it matter?
Allow your thoughts to flow without editing or judgment.
Simply let whatever wants to be expressed come on to the page.
It's time to wrap up your journaling and bring this to a close.
As we come to the end of this practice,
I invite you to place one hand gently on your heart.
Take a slow breath in and a soft breath out.
I'll share an affirmation now.
You're welcome to repeat it silently or out loud,
Allowing the words to land in your body.
I open my heart to gratitude and appreciation.
I open my heart to gratitude and appreciation.
I honor what I have received and who I am becoming.
I honor what I have received and who I am becoming.
Thank you lives within me as peace,
Presence,
And grace.
Thank you lives within me as peace,
Presence,
And grace.
Take one more breath,
Feeling grounded,
Supported,
And present.
Thank you for giving yourself this time today.
May you carry your intention,
Your insight,
And the sense of calm with you gently and in your own way as you move through the rest of your day.
