Full transcript
Welcome to this moment, just as it is.
Notice the weight of your body on the floor.
Feel the sensation of your feet touching the ground.
Imagine yourself as a calm and patient father, creating peace in your home.
Notice the sensation of your jaw, soft and relaxed.
As you inhale, allow any tension to rise, and as you exhale, allow it to release.
Allow yourself to settle into this sense of calm and patience.
Notice the sounds already present in the room.
When you notice yourself feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, release any tension in your body.
And when you're ready, slowly open your eyes, and take this sense of calm with you.
