This guided journey supports your nervous system in settling deeply while gently reconnecting you with a sense of calm vitality. Through slow pacing, full body awareness, and steady breath, you are guided into a grounded state where clarity, strength, and engagement can arise naturally. The practice begins with deep regulation and grounding, allowing your body to fully settle and feel supported. From this stable foundation, a quiet sense of aliveness emerges, helping you feel present, ready, and connected to your inner strength. Use this session whenever you want to feel calm and steady while remaining awake, engaged, and supported from within. With gratitude, Josh

Transcript

Settle into a comfortable position.

Allow your body to be fully supported.

Feel the surface beneath you.

Let your weight rest into it.

Let your shoulders soften.

Let your jaw relax.

Allow your stomach to release.

Begin to notice your breath as it moves naturally.

No effort,

No adjustment,

Just a gentle awareness of the inhale and the exhale.

With each breath,

Your body settles more completely.

Your attention gathers.

Your system begins to organize itself into steadiness.

Feel the rhythm of your breathing in your chest.

A calm expansion as you inhale.

A quiet settling as you exhale.

Allow this rhythm to guide you inward.

Bring your attention down through your body.

Feel your chest soften.

Feel your ribs ease.

Feel your stomach relax and widen gently with the breath.

Let your lower back soften.

Let your hips become heavy.

Let your legs rest fully.

Feel your feet grounded and present.

Your whole body is arriving into a stable,

Supported state.

Stay with this settling for a few moments,

Nothing else to attend to,

Just the feeling of being here,

Grounded,

Steady.

Begin to notice a quiet sense of presence in the center of your chest.

Not intense,

Not forced,

Simply a subtle feeling of awareness and warmth.

This is the place where steadiness lives.

With each inhale,

Feel this presence become a little clearer.

With each exhale,

Let your body relax into it.

Your nervous system recognizes this state.

A calm readiness,

A feeling of safety and support.

Allow this steady presence to spread slowly through your chest,

Through your shoulders,

Down your arms,

Into your hands.

Feel your hands resting with ease,

Available.

Let this steadiness move through your back,

Along your spine,

Supporting you from within.

Your breath remains slow and natural.

Your body remains settled.

Now gently bring your attention to the center of your stomach.

Feel the rise and fall of the breath there.

Notice a sense of strength forming in this space,

Grounded,

Quiet,

Stable.

This is where inner strength lives.

Not force,

Not tension,

Just a steady capacity to engage with life.

With each breath,

Feel this strength become more present,

More accessible.

Allow this calm strength to connect with the steadiness in your chest,

A balanced relationship,

Grounded and open,

Stable and receptive.

As this connection deepens,

Begin to notice a gentle sense of aliveness moving through your body,

Not a surge,

Not excitement,

A quiet vitality,

A feeling of being awake and engaged,

Present and responsive.

Let this aliveness spread slowly through your chest,

Through your stomach,

Into your arms and hands.

Feel your body subtly orient forward,

Not leaning,

Just available to participate.

Allow this vitality to move through your hips and legs,

Down into your feet,

Rooted and alive at the same time.

This is what it feels like to be steady and alive,

Grounded,

Clear,

Engaged.

Your energy feels balanced,

Your attention feels organized,

Your body feels ready without urgency.

Notice how your breath supports this state,

Notice how your body holds it naturally,

There is nothing to maintain.

This state sustains itself through presence.

As you rest here,

Feel a quiet confidence settling in,

Not about outcomes,

Not about effort,

Confidence as steadiness,

Confidence as availability,

Confidence as trust in your own inner strength.

Take a slow breath in,

Feel your chest lift gently.

As you exhale,

Let this calm vitality integrate throughout your system.

Allow your awareness to widen slightly.

Include the space around you,

The sounds nearby.

Your body remains steady,

Your energy remains alive.

When you are ready,

Begin to bring your attention back to your breath.

Feel the surface beneath you once more.

Feel your body supported.

Carry this state with you as you return to your day,

Steady,

Grounded and present.
