After moments of overwhelm, the mind can scatter like leaves in the wind.

The Gentle Return gathers those leaves back into your hands—

reminding you that you are whole, and you are held.

Purpose:

To bring yourself back from mental or emotional strain into a state of calm presence.

Use:

After an intense conversation, a stressful moment, or whenever you feel far from your center.

Steps:

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in.
Feel the air filling your lungs, your chest expanding like the opening of a flower.
Exhale slowly, and imagine a soft light arounds you, wrapping you in safety.
Continue with focused breathing visualizing the soft blanket of light cradling you. Do this
as many times as your body needs. Give your body this comfort.
With each breath, let that light grow warmer, gentler, until it feels like a quiet embrace.
Say silently: “I am here. I am whole. I am held.”
When you’re ready, open your eyes—carrying that light with you into the next moment.
