snowy owl

notice…                                                            but how? does the room feel stable?                                                  no how fast are my thoughts moving?           fast can I track any thoughts?                                                        only snippets

breathe

say “I’m slipping”

where are my feet? am I sitting or standing? wiggle my toes, wiggle my fingers

look at your hands

can you feel them?

Imagine you are surrounded by those who love you, a soft circle surrounds you

they are all looking at you with deep love in their eyes

focus on their faces gaze back into their eyes breathe

breathe

breathe into their love and support

you are on your feet the ground is solid touch an object feel it’s texture breathe

is the sun out, is it cloudy, is it raining, is it nighttime, is it daytime?

breathe

stroke your arms stroke your legs

put your hands on your chest, over your heart breathe into your heart fill your lungs

in

out

in

out

feel your lungs supporting your heart feel your ribs lightly hugging you

holding you

creating space for your lungs and heart

holding you, holding you

your spine that beautiful arc and curve strong and flexible holding you

holding you

you are on your feet you are on solid ground feel your heartbeat breathe

breathe

breathe

you have a body

it has weight

it has mass

you have a body

you are held

you are safe

is anyone trying to talk to you? can you hear what they are saying?

breathe this will pass breathe you are here breathe you are safe

breathe

breathe
