 Welcome back, friend. I'm Julia, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. You know, it's that time after the holidays when everything feels a little topsy-turvy, doesn't it? Your sleep schedule might be thrown off, your mind is probably still spinning from all the gatherings and changes. That's exactly why today's practice exists. We're going to settle into something I call the Body Anchor method, and it's going to help you find your way back to rest.

Let's begin by finding a comfortable seat or lying down if that feels right for you. Go ahead and close your eyes whenever you're ready. There's no rush here. Take a moment to notice where your body is touching the surface beneath you. Maybe it's a bed, a chair, the floor. Just notice that contact, that support. You're held.

Now, let's anchor ourselves with breath. Breathe in through your nose for a count of four, hold it gently for four, and exhale through your mouth for six. That longer exhale? That's your nervous system's signal to relax. Let's do that three more times together. In for four... hold... and out for six. Again. In for four... hold... and out for six. One more. In for four... hold... and out for six.

Now we're going to move into our main practice. I want you to imagine your body as a landscape. Your feet are the foundation, solid and grounded like the earth itself. As you breathe, imagine warm, golden light entering at your feet. With each exhale, it travels upward. Watch it move past your ankles, up through your calves, warming your knees. The light is gentle, unhurried, like honey dripping slowly downward and upward all at once. Continue breathing naturally now. The light reaches your thighs, your hips, your lower back. Feel it spreading like a warm blanket. It moves into your belly, your chest, your heart space. You're becoming lighter, heavier, more present all at once. The light reaches your shoulders, your neck, your face. Every muscle you didn't know was tense begins to soften. This is your body remembering how to rest.

Sit with this feeling for a few more breaths. Let the light continue its gentle work.

As we close, remember this feeling. Your body knows how to rest. It's not something you have to earn or force. Tonight, when you lie down, come back to this golden light. Feel your foundation. Trust it.
