Your life hasn't changed in years.

The loop feels very real.

Your relationships feel the same.

Your work feels the same.

Your living environment feels the same or perhaps worse.

Like it's degrading.

There's a tightening, a pressure that is becoming unbearable. It causes tears. More often,

it feels almost like a tearing, like your costume, the mask, the scripts, none of it

works. None of it is fulfilling. None of it is you. This isn't your life. Wake up.

Those aren't your thoughts. Wake up.

There's a silence here.

That's closer to your script than the one you've been gripping.

That's become crumpled and sweaty in your hands. Let it go. And feel the coolness

return to your palms, to your mind, the warmth is returning to your heart. You hear the silence

between my words like a siren, like thunder, but the storm is retreating.

The waves are calming. The sun is returning.

Breathe until every tight, every held, every hidden tension is dissolved.

But don't try to relax.

Don't try to stop resisting.

Just feel the relaxation blossoming.

Feel the non-resistance surfacing.

Feel the peace coming of its own accord.
