I'm glad you're here. You're okay. Everything's okay. We just need to let the body know that that's true. You're here now. And now is safe. I'd like to offer you a path into reassuring your nervous system that this moment is safe. To do this, I'll offer observation and then timed breath. If that sounds accessible for you, Will you join me? Let's begin by tuning into our eyes. In the upcoming moments, Will you look around you and fully, Really look at something that calls your attention? First, Notice the color or colors and study the shape and the outline. How far is it from you? What do you notice most about it? Continue to notice details in the upcoming moments. Now, Let's choose something else nearby. Shift your gaze to a new item and notice its details. Choose what you truly want to see about it and hold that focus. Let's try one more. A different item in your line of vision. And this time, Notice its details at your own pace. Would you now tune into your hands? You can invite your eyes to come along to focus on your hands. What position are they in? Can you sense if they're warm or cold or something else? If you lightly touch your thumb to your forefinger, What do you sense? What if you touch your thumb to each of your other fingers, One at a time? Maybe we could even use this to choose a rhythm and a pattern for our breath. Maybe we breathe in for four counts, Marked by touching the thumb to the pointer, The middle, The ring, And the pinky finger. And then we could breathe out while we touch the thumb to the pinky, The ring, The middle, And the pointer finger. Take a few rounds, Allowing your eyes to watch this pattern. Allowing your skin to notice the touch and the pressure. Allowing the ears to hear your breath. One more round. And let that go. You've now fully arrived in this moment. My next invitation to you will be to work with your breath in a specific pattern. I'll count a four, Seven, Eight pattern. Four counts to inhale, Seven counts to hold, And eight counts to exhale. I invite you to set an intention with each. When we inhale through the nose, We draw in fresh, Stable energy. When we hold for seven, We savor the fullness to allow that fresh energy to surround the stress energy. When we exhale for eight through the mouth, We expel the stress energy and soften into safety. Let's begin. Inhale fresh energy. Two, Three, Four. Savor the fullness and hold. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven. Exhale the stress. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight. Your body is starting to believe that you're safe. Inhale the fresh. Two, Three, Four. Hold and gather the unwanted. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven. Expel the unwanted. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight. You're transitioning from fear to calm. You're doing it. Inhale safety. Two, Three, Four. Bathe in the new. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven. And release into safety. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight. You're regulating. Draw in stability. Two, Three, Four and linger in it. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven and release into peace. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight. You're okay. Everything's okay. You and your body are now in perfect alignment. You're regulated. You've released. You've arrived in the present moment, Designed just for you, Your safety and your peace. You did it. Know that this achievement with this practice comes with you into what's next. Know that when you sense struggle again, You know exactly what to do to regain stability. It's time now to make the decision to slowly return to engage with the outer world, Step by step. Purposely choose a sense to awaken. Maybe your eyes to look or your ears to hear. Maybe touch to feel. Take these moments to activate one and then another and then another. It's okay. We're still here. Together now we'll fully activate. If your eyes are closed, Maybe you open them and then maybe offer yourself a stretch or even a yawn or maybe a light neck massage. With eyes, Nose, Mouth, Ears and skin awakened, Take one more deep breath. Maybe even allow a sigh on your exhale. Today you gave yourself the greatest gift, The gift of stabilization. Anytime you need this practice, You now have the tools to move through discomfort, Arriving in safety. I honor your journey. Thank you for trusting me with these moments. Be well and thrive.
