This session is the first step in The Empathic Journey, a premium series created for sensitive people (like me) who want to develop a calm, steady inner foundation. In this practice, awareness is gently guided into the body to support a felt sense of inner stability. As the body settles, a steady presence becomes clear and accessible, offering a reliable center that remains available in daily life and in connection with others. This session is designed to be returned to often. Over time, it supports greater ease, emotional balance, and quiet confidence rooted in steadiness rather than effort. With gratitude, Josh

Transcript

Settle into a comfortable position and allow yourself to arrive.

Feel the surface beneath you offering steady support.

Let the body be held here.

Bring awareness to the top of the head.

A gentle softening begins.

The forehead smooths.

The space around the eyes eases.

A tension moves slowly through the face.

The jaw releases.

The tongue rests easily.

The neck settles into a natural alignment.

Breath flows quietly and steadily.

Each breath supports a sense of ease.

Awareness moves into the shoulders.

They soften and widen.

The arms rest comfortably.

Hands relax,

Fingers at ease.

Attention continues into the chest.

Breath moves freely here.

There is space.

Awareness flows down into the stomach.

Breath moves gently through the center of the body.

The body settles into a grounded rhythm.

As the body relaxes,

A quiet inner stability becomes more noticeable.

A steady presence comes into clearer awareness.

Grounded.

This is a stable inner reference point,

A place within awareness that remains steady and reliable.

Sensitivity naturally organizes around this steadiness.

Perception stays open.

Presence remains centered.

Awareness rests here now.

Breathing naturally,

Settled within the body,

Spend a few moments resting in this steady presence.

Allow it to feel familiar,

Allow it to feel accessible.

This steadiness is something you can return to throughout the day,

In conversation,

In movement,

In moments of connection.

It is available whenever awareness returns inward.

Let this sense of calm stability settle gently through the body,

Clear,

Quiet,

Supportive.

When you feel ready,

Allow your attention to widen naturally,

Carrying this steady presence with you as you return.
