Inhale the light.

Exhale weight.

Let the room soften around you.

Let the flame steady your chest.

You are here.

You are light.

You are currently under detention.

Sit or lie the way your body wants.

Inhale slowly through the nose.

Exhale through the mouth like you are letting the night leave your chest

Let the third eye music wrap around you like a shawl.

Let your shoulders drop. Let your jaw soften.

Imagine a small, steady flame right behind your forehead, not bright, not dramatic, just present.

On each inhale, it warms.

On each exhale, it expands a little.

No forcing. Just noticing.

Let the edges of the room blur.

Let the roommate’s presence fade into background static.

Let Rosa’s silence be neutral, not ominous, just another morning rhythm.

You stay in your own field.

Place one hand on your chest or belly.

Say quietly (or just think it):

“I am here. I am light. I am steady.”

Feel how your body responds that tiny drop, that softening, that yes.

Three slow breaths:

First breath: release the tension.

Second breath: release the worry.

Third breath: release the story your mind was starting to build,

Then let the music carry you for a moment.
