Begin by finding stillness,
A quiet place where you can just be,
No expectations,
No rules,
Just your presence.
When you're ready,
Let your eyes gently close,
Allow your shoulders to drop,
Unclench your jaw,
Soften your belly.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose and a long,
Relaxed breath out through your mouth.
Feel your body,
Not the thoughts about your body,
But the actual living presence of it,
Here,
Breathing,
Existing.
Let your breath guide you,
No need to force or fix it,
Just notice it like waves gently rolling in and out.
You are safe to be here now,
You are allowed to rest.
Whatever you've been holding,
Whatever you've been pushing through,
You can set it down,
Just for a little while.
With every exhale,
Release a little more tension.
With every inhale,
Invite a little more peace.
Let your breath move like a soft breeze through your body,
Clearing out the tightness,
The noise,
The pressure.
Now imagine you are walking through a beautiful natural space,
Maybe a garden,
A forest,
A quiet coastline,
Somewhere that for you feels calm and alive.
You're not in a rush,
You don't need a destination,
You are here to feel again,
To remember yourself.
You reach a small clearing and you sit,
The earth supports you,
The sky holds you and you remember,
You belong.
Not because of what you do,
Not because of what you give,
But simply because you exist,
You are here and that is enough.
Let these words move through you like sunlight on skin,
I am allowed to slow down.
I am safe to soften.
My worth is not measured by my productivity.
I am enough,
Just as I am.
The world may be noisy,
But I can choose stillness.
I trust the wisdom within me.
Peace is not something I have to chase,
It is something I return to and I am returning now.
Let these truths sink in.
If emotions arise,
Let them,
Calm,
Resistance,
Warmth,
All of it is welcome.
You don't need to do anything right now,
You are not a project to fix,
You are a being,
Learning how to come home to yourself again and again.
Now rest here in silence for a moment,
Let your breath and the stillness around you hold you.
When you are ready,
Begin to come back slowly,
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Feel the support beneath you.
You have made space today for being,
That is enough.
And you can return to this peace any time you need.
And so it is.
