Great Spirit,
In this moment I pause.
I take in a deep breath,
Deeper than the last.
I breathe and let my shoulders drop.
I breathe and let my jaw soften.
I breathe and let my heart catch up to me.
Great Spirit,
I feel the weight I've been carrying.
The pace,
The pressure,
The doubt.
And I breathe and hand it to you now.
And I breathe knowing I don't have to hold it all.
Help me return to the truth beneath the story.
Help me to remember I am safe.
As I breathe,
I know I am guided.
As I breathe,
I know I am not alone.
As I breathe,
I know whatever is unfolding,
I trust I will find my way through it.
One breath,
One choice,
One soft yes at a time.
As I breathe,
Please calm my mind.
As I breathe,
Please steady my spirit.
As I breathe,
Bring me back to this moment.
As I breathe,
Let me feel where my power lives.
Remind me,
As I move through my day,
To ask for clarity when I feel confused,
Grace for where I feel reactive,
And compassion for the parts of me that are still learning to trust.
As I breathe,
Allow my body to calm,
To move through the rest of my day.
With gentleness and presence,
Let my nervous system remember peace.
With gentleness and presence,
Let my spirit remember who I am.
And I take one last big deep breath in,
Exhaling,
Giving this moment to you,
Giving myself to you,
And trusting in the divine unfolding.
