Welcome, beautiful souls. I'm so glad you're here with me today, taking this moment just for yourself. As we step into this practice, I want you to know that whatever weight you're carrying right now - whether it's the pressure of deadlines, personal challenges, or just the general overwhelm of life - you're not alone.Today, I want to invite you to a practice I call "Anchoring" - a gentle technique to help you find stillness even when your inner world feels like a turbulent ocean.Begin by finding a comfortable position. Let your body settle, like a leaf softly coming to rest on calm water. Close your eyes if that feels good, or simply soften your gaze.Take a deep breath in... and slowly release. Notice how your breath moves through you - not forcing anything, just observing. Imagine your breath as a gentle tide, washing away tension with each exhale.Now, I want you to choose an anchor - something that represents stability for you. This could be the sensation of your feet touching the ground, the rhythm of your heartbeat, or a mental image of a place where you feel completely safe and held.Whenever anxious thoughts start to swirl - and they will, because that's the nature of our minds - gently return to your anchor. Don't judge the thoughts. Simply acknowledge them like passing clouds, and then guide your attention back to your chosen anchor.Feel the solidity beneath you. The ground is always here, supporting you. Your breath is always here, moving through you. You are more than your anxious thoughts. You are a living, breathing being of remarkable resilience.As we conclude, I invite you to carry this sense of groundedness with you. When stress rises, take three conscious breaths. Remember your anchor. You have the power to return to calm, no matter what's happening around you.Thank you for showing up for yourself today.
