A one-minute somatic reset: rub your palms together to warm them, then place them on your eyes, cheeks, or heart while breathing slowly. The warmth signals safety to your nervous system, activating your body's own calming response.

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. Please take a moment to settle in and close your eyes. Let's use warmth today to tell your body it's safe to relax. Please start by rubbing your palms together briskly until you feel heat building between them. Keep going a little longer, a little longer. Keep rubbing them together briskly. Now gently place your warm hands over your eyes or cup them around your cheeks. Or rest them on your heart, wherever you feel led. Feel that warmth soaking in. Heat is one of the oldest signals of safety we know— the warmth of the sun, of fire, of another's hand. Breathe in slowly as that warmth spreads. Hold and exhale out. Let your face to wherever your hands landed soften beneath your palms. There's nowhere you need to be but here, warm and held. Stay as long as you like. You can always make your own warmth. I'm sending you so much love.
