10 Minute, No Music, Nervous System Orientation.

Let's begin by allowing the breath to slow the mind and the body.

Take a gentle inhale through the nose.

Then take a second smaller sip of air right at the top of that breath.

And then slowly let it release through the mouth.

Again a gentle inhale through the nose.

A small top up of air.

And a long unhurried exhale.

One more time.

Inhaling softly.

Topping up the breath.

And letting it release slowly and fully.

For the next few moments you are here.

This time is already held.

Let the body rest where it is.

Let the breath move naturally now.

Notice the rhythm that is present.

You are here now.

Feel the surface beneath you.

Notice where your body meets what supports it.

Allow that contact to be felt.

Your nervous system responds to presence.

To steadiness.

To what is here.

Simply noticing is enough.

Thoughts may pass through.

Sounds may come and go.

Let attention rest in the chest area.

Not forcing.

Just noticing.

Feel the space behind the breastbone.

The area that moves as you breathe.

Orientation happens when something steady is present.

Notice the chest rising and falling.

A simple movement.

A steady rhythm.

Let this area be a point of reference.

Stillness lives here.

Stillness allows alignment.

The body knows how to respond and adapt.

Let the chest soften.

Allow the shoulders to ease downward.

Let the breath find its own depth.

Presence is already here.

Notice what it feels like to be here in this body in this moment.

Feel the chest as a steady anchor.

Notice the quality of being here now.

Let this settle in its own way.

Movement will return when it's ready.

There is time.

You can remain here as long as you like.
