Phase 1). Grounding and Deep Breathing
Take a moment now to bring your focus inward. Begin by noticing the natural rhythm of your breath. There’s no rush—simply observe. When you're ready, take a deep breath in through your nose, allowing your lungs to expand completely as calming, fresh air fills your body. Hold it gently for a moment… and now, slowly exhale through your mouth, as if you’re letting go of a soft sigh. With each exhale, imagine releasing the tension you’ve been holding onto, as if it’s drifting away in the breeze.
Breathe in again, deeply and fully, feeling your chest rise and your body open. Hold that breath, savoring its stillness… and then gently release it. On the exhale, allow any lingering doubts or hesitations to leave with the air. Visualize those worries dissolving, making more space for ease, clarity, and rest.
Feel the connection between your body and the earth beneath you—strong, solid, and constant. Picture yourself rooted deep like a tall tree in nature, grounded and steady, no matter what happens around you. Each breath draws you closer to the present, anchoring you in this moment. Trust this space, this headspace, to be yours—free from distractions, free from judgment.
With each inhale, you’re inviting fresh energy and strength into your life. Imagine your breath bringing calm to your mind, soothing your emotions, and restoring a sense of balance. And with every exhale, feel yourself letting go, bit by bit. Release any worry, fear, or uncertainty that no longer serves you. They do not define you. You are free to rest deeply in this present moment.
Breathe slowly, letting your breath guide you. Notice how the flow of air feels as it enters and leaves your body—a beautiful cycle, just like nature itself. How incredible it is that you can pause like this, calming your mind and creating space for what truly matters.
Feel your body settling, your thoughts beginning to quiet. Whatever happened earlier today is behind you now, and whatever comes next will unfold in its own time. Right here, you're cultivating self-compassion and nurturing the unwavering strength within you.
Keep breathing, letting this rhythm remind you of your own resilience. With every inhale, you're becoming more steady and empowered. With every exhale, you’re letting go of what no longer belongs. Feel that stability growing inside—a calm presence, rooted in who you are. You are strong, centered, and ready to welcome this new moment of life with confidence and peace.
Phase 2). Body Awareness and PresenceBring your attention now to your body, the vessel that carries you through life. Notice the points of contact between your body and the surface beneath you. Perhaps it’s the steady grounding of your feet on the floor, the support of the chair or the softness of the surface against your back. Feel how the foundation beneath you holds you completely, unshakable and strong—just like the foundation within you.
Take a moment to shift your awareness to your spine. Whether you’re seated or lying down, allow your posture to align naturally. If you’re sitting, feel your back lengthen as if someone gently lifted a string at
