Quiet Practice — Night Breathing

 

arrive

close your eyes for a moment.
not to escape, but to return.
let the outside world fall a little farther away.

 

soften

take three slow breaths,
the kind that loosen the thoughts
that keep circling at night.
feel your shoulders drop,
as if gravity remembers you again.

 

lift and let go

imagine a gentle thread
lifting the crown of your head—
not pulling, just guiding.
feel everything you carried today
slide down your spine and fall behind you.

 

a quiet reminder

you are not heavy.
your nervous system is tired.
rest will bring you back.

 

rest is productive.

Did your breath soften,
even just a little?

 

You don't need to take this with you.  
Staying here is enough for now.

If you ever want a quieter way to notice where you are,  
The State Index can wait here.
