Welcome. This is a space to come back to yourself. To breathe. Suffer. To return to the safety of this moment. Begin by finding a comfortable position. Seated or lying down. Whatever feels best for your body right now. Let your eyes gently close. Take him long. Slow breath in through your nose. Take a soft, Steady breath out through your mouth. And again, Inhale gently. Exhale slowly. Let the breath guide you back into your body. To the now. Anxiety often lives in the future. Overwhelm scatters us in a thousand directions. Right now. You don't have to be anywhere but here. Go ahead now. You are safe. You are allowed to pause. Begin to notice. Where your body meets the ground beneath you. Feel the support beneath your legs. Your spine. Your fate. Let yourself be held. You don't have to carry everything right now. You can let the ground carry some of it for you. Breathe into that. What it's like to let go, Just a little bit. And gently bring your awareness to your breath. You don't need to change it. Just notice it. Feel the inhale. Feel the exhale. Maybe place a hand on your belly or chest. Feel the rise and fall. Feel the rhythm that's always with you. Let your breath begin to settle. Let it guide your nervous system into softness. With every inhale. Breathe in safety. With every exhale. Let go of what you don't need to hold right now. Now bring your awareness slowly through your body. As if you're checking in. Notice your jaw. That softened. Shoulders. They drop just a little. Your hands, And they relax where they are. Your fate. And you feel them resting. And I'm killed. Breathe into each part. Let your attention move slowly. Let your breath meet each space with love. Now visualize roots growing from your body. The base of your spine. From the soles of your feet. Strong, Steady roots reaching down into the earth. Through the layers of soil. To drop. To deep stable ground. These roots hold you. I crowned you. They remind your body that you are not floating. You are not lost. Anchored. Breathe into that connection. That the Earth holds some of what's been too heavy. Let the Earth support you. Take a few more soft breaths. Steady breaths. Let your body rest. Let your mind be quiet. You are here. You are safe. And you are supported. When you feel ready. Begin to slowly return to the space around you. Wiggle your fingers and your toes. Feel the air on your skin. Notice the sounds around you. One last slow breath in through your nose. A long exhale through your mouth. When you feel ready, Gently open your eyes.
