    [Warm, inviting tone]

    Hey there, and welcome. I'm so glad you've carved out this moment for yourself today. As we step into this practice, I want you to know that whatever challenges you're bringing with you right now - whether it's project deadlines, team pressures, or that overwhelming sense of digital noise - you're exactly where you need to be.

    [Settling in]

    Let's begin by finding a comfortable position. Whether you're sitting at your desk, in a quiet corner, or finding a moment between meetings, allow your body to settle. Feel your feet connected to the ground, your spine gently elongated, shoulders relaxing away from your ears. [PAUSE]

    Take a deep breath in... and out. [PAUSE]

    Today, we're exploring what I call the "Anchor and Expand" technique - a powerful way to ground yourself and create mental clarity in the midst of workplace chaos.

    [Main Practice]

    Imagine your attention is like a compassionate lighthouse. Right now, your mind might be filled with swirling thoughts - emails to send, meetings to prepare, deadlines looming. But this lighthouse doesn't fight the waves. It simply stands, steady and calm.

    Close your eyes if you're comfortable. Focus on your breath - not changing it, just noticing. [PAUSE]

    Each breath is like a gentle wave washing through you. When a work-related thought arises - and they will - imagine that thought as a passing cloud. You're not pushing it away, just observing. The cloud drifts across your mental sky, and your lighthouse remains unchanged. [PAUSE]

    Now, gently expand your awareness. Feel the subtle energy of your body. The places of tension. The areas of ease. [PAUSE]

    This isn't about perfect focus. It's about returning. Each time you notice your mind has drifted, that's a moment of mindfulness. You're training your brain's attention muscle. [PAUSE]

    [Closing and Integration]

    As we complete this practice, take a moment to set an intention. How can you carry this sense of grounded awareness into your next meeting, your next task? [PAUSE]

    Remember: You're not trying to eliminate stress. You're learning to relate to it differently. One breath at a time.

    When you're ready, slowly open your eyes. Bring a soft, kind attention to whatever comes next in your day.

    [Warm closing]

    Wishing you clarity, presence, and compassion.
