Bringing all that has set you up to be at this point, in this present moment, with you. Drawing on those resources. Relax your breath. Feel your foundation holding you.
At the heart things start to shift from those survival responses to safe and social state.
Okay, please steeple your fingers. Your finger pads are touching each other. Your hands will come floating in front of the center of your chest.

Right at the center of your chest. Your hands are floating. Fingertips are pointed up and ,your elbows are relaxed.
Center of your chest, your heart center. Your Anahata Chakra. Then your gaze, your eyes are one tenth open, looking past your nose to the tips of your fingers. So just by doing that, it can change our nervous system.
And this might be enough. I'll talk you through a breath pattern that you can include or not, your choice. We'll inhale for 5, 4, 3, 2, and hold for 5, 4, 3, 2, and out for 5, 4, 3, 2. 3, 2, in, 5, 4, 3, 2, and hold, 5, 4, 3, 2, out, 5, 4, 3, 2, and in,

breathing in.
When you hold your body is relaxed,
out.
Do a few more rounds on your own, just five count for each.
