Today's episode is your gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and reset. In just 10 minutes, this guided meditation will help you release built-up tension, return to your body, and reconnect with your inner calm. Whether you're navigating a busy workday, recovering from a tough moment, or simply needing to catch your breath—this space is for you. No pressure, no expectations—just an opportunity to feel a little more grounded, a little more clear, and a lot more you.

What you'll experience in this meditation: calming breathwork to regulate the nervous system, simple body scanning for deep physical relaxation, gentle affirmations to quiet the mind and open the heart, and a moment of stillness to return to center.

How to prepare: find a quiet space where you can be uninterrupted for 10 minutes, sit or lie down comfortably, close your eyes or soften your gaze, and allow yourself to fully arrive in this moment.

Affirmations from today's practice: "With each breath, I soften and release." "It's safe to let go. I am present and at ease." "Peace lives within me—I choose to return to it now."

Why it matters: This practice is a reminder that peace isn't something you have to chase—it's something you can choose, even in just a few minutes. And when you give yourself this space, even briefly, the rest of life meets you with a little more grace. Stress doesn't get the final word. You do.
