When Stress Becomes the Background

When you're ready, place a hand somewhere warm on your body. Take three slow breaths. Then ask: what's one thing I've been carrying that I could set down, just for tonight?

Nothing has to be resolved. Nothing has to be named out loud. The relief is in the noticing.
