  SPEAKER_00: Hello, welcome back to yourself.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: Find a position that can hold you for a while.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: There's no need to rush anything today.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: Let your breath move like a slow wave in and back out.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: Once more like a wave arriving and receding unhurried, certain of its own rhythm.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Let your breath find its own rhythm now.

  SPEAKER_00: The light is still soft, still deciding what kind of day this will be.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: Do on everything.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: The kind of quiet that isn't empty.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's full, just unhurried.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: You walk through it slowly, not toward anything in particular.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Just present, just here, just noticing what's growing.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: This month you've been coming home to your body piece by piece.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: The breath, the senses, the nervous system, learning it's allowed to rest.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: But some parts got left behind along the way.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: The tired parts, the tense parts, the parts you were too busy or too overwhelmed to visit.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: Somewhere in this garden, you find those parts of yourself waiting, not angry, not abandoned, feeling, just waiting patiently.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: The way a garden waits for a gardener who got busy elsewhere.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: You sit down among them.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: There's a version of you here who has done this work, who has come back for every neglected part, every overridden signal, every corner of yourself that got left outside, while the rest of you kept moving.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: I remember what it felt like to be scattered, you say to yourself, pieces of me everywhere in yesterday's mistakes, in tomorrow's deadlines, anywhere but here, and I remember choosing again and again to come back, not perfectly, just consistently.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: That's what got me here.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Not a single breakthrough, just returning over and over to this body, this breath, this moment, and eventually it stopped feeling like work.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: It started feeling like coming home.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: Feel that homecoming now in this body, in this moment.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to move through it slowly, offering full attention to every part.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Start with your face, your forehead, your eyes, your jaw.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: Let them soften fully.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: Let it be gentle.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: Let them drop.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: Feel them fully.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Every part of you is here now, not one piece left outside in the cold, just you, complete in this garden, in this body.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not scattered anymore.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: I am here.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: So let these land too slowly, one at a time, let each one arrive like something you already half knew.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: You've been carrying a lot this quarter.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: Let this land.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: I am allowed to inhabit my whole life, not just survive it.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: Feel it.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: I come home to myself again and again for as long as it takes a lot of money.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: I am worthy of the fullness of my own life.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: Not just the productive parts of the couple of say it again, softer this time.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: Just the feeling of being whole.
• 15:33

• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: Just one.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's a part of your body you'll check in with today.
• 15:56

• 16:05
  SPEAKER_00: When you're ready, let your eyes open slowly.
• 16:11
