You are invited to wonder how you would feel if you felt 1% or a teensy bit more loved and supported. Don't try to answer with your mind. Simply wonder and feel.

You are invited to become aware of the web of life and all the layers of it that you belong to and imagine it like a hammock and settle into it. Rest, settle, be held. Notice how you feel.

While you are out in the world today consider that the plants, trees, birds, and insects are your friends, and they love you.

Please note that this session ended a bit abruptly as my son needed my attention. With this in mind, you are invited to wonder if interruptions, surprises, and unexpected situations could be a little less overwhelming? What if you were a little more gentle with yourself and others when things don't flow as planned? How would that feel?

As you move through your day today, try to notice moments when you feel tight, stuck or overwhelmed. In those moments observe your breath. Turn your awareness to it and feel how it's flowing, become aware of your body and your thoughts. Remember you are part of the web of life and can invite connection with your breath. If you like, choose to inhale long, slow, nourishing breaths - in through your nose and the let go and allow as you exhale with a gently sigh through a soft and relaxed mouth. Repeat as necessary :)
