    [Warm, inviting tone]

    Hello there. Welcome to today's moment of calm. I'm glad you've carved out these few minutes for yourself, especially on a day that might feel a bit overwhelming. I know the world can seem particularly intense right now - with holiday preparations, end-of-year work pressures, and the general noise of late November swirling around you.

    Let's create a small sanctuary together. [PAUSE]

    Find a comfortable position - whether you're sitting, standing, or wherever you are right now. Allow your body to settle, like a leaf gently coming to rest on still water. [PAUSE]

    Take a deep breath in... and let it go. [PAUSE]

    Notice how your breath moves through you - not forcing anything, simply observing. Imagine your breath as a soft wave, washing away the accumulated tension of the morning. [PAUSE]

    Today, we're going to practice what I call the "Grounding Cloud" meditation. Close your eyes if you feel comfortable. Visualize yourself sitting within a soft, supportive cloud - a cloud that absorbs your stress, your worries, your scattered thoughts. [PAUSE]

    With each inhale, imagine drawing peaceful energy into your body. With each exhale, let the cloud absorb anything that doesn't serve you. [PAUSE]

    Feel the cloud's gentle embrace. It's not pushing or pulling, just surrounding you with understanding. Your thoughts can drift through this cloud, but they don't define you. [PAUSE]

    If your mind wanders - and it will - that's perfectly okay. Simply notice, and return to the sensation of the cloud, the rhythm of your breath. [PAUSE]

    As we prepare to complete our practice, take a moment to appreciate yourself. You've taken time for your inner wellness, in the midst of a busy world. [PAUSE]

    When you're ready, slowly open your eyes. Carry this sense of calm with you. Perhaps you can return to this cloud visualization when stress builds during your day - a 30-second reset whenever you need it.

    Breathe. Be kind to yourself.
