Inviting you to close your eyes or soften your gaze as feels comfortable.
Inviting you to only do that of this practice that feels good and helpful and to not do anything that brings discomfort.
Inviting you to take a moment to check in with yourself.
What's your level of stress or activation like in this moment?
If your stress were a piece of music,
What kind of music would it be?
Is that level of activation helpful to you right now or could it be a bit less?
If it could,
Or if you're just curious,
Inviting you to join me in a grounding practice.
Inviting you to notice your thoughts.
Zooming out from the details of them.
What are your thoughts like?
Are they perhaps quick,
Sluggish,
Bright or dull,
Sharp or squidgy?
Maybe there's something else entirely.
Whatever it is,
Inviting you to see if it's okay to be with that for a moment.
Now noticing your emotions and again zooming out from the details of them.
What are your emotions like in this moment?
Are they perhaps intense or faded,
Soft or loud?
Jacket or smooth?
You might find different words to describe them.
Inviting you to see if it's okay to be with them for a moment.
And finally,
Inviting you to bring your attention to your body and what it's feeling.
What qualities do you notice within your body?
There might be some tension or spaciousness,
Some warmth or cold.
Perhaps something electric or velvety or something else entirely.
And again,
Inviting you to notice that and to be with it.
To close,
Inviting you to bring your attention back to where you are.
You may want to look around and notice your surroundings.
To round off,
Check in with your stress level.
Has the music changed?
Wishing you a vibrant day.
