Step 1: Find a quiet room in your mind,

a place where clocks lose their teeth

and the walls lean in to listen.

Step 2: Sit like a tree in soft soil,

feet rooted, spine straight,

hands folded like leaves catching sunlight.

Step 3: Inhale slowly,

draw in the wind of heaven itself.

Hold it as if holding a small bird,

then exhale, letting fear flutter away.

Step 4: Speak His name—Jesus—

not as a sound, but as a river

curling through the valleys of your chest,

smoothing stones you did not know were jagged.

Step 5: Imagine Him walking beside you,

a shadow with golden edges,

His eyes steady lanterns

illuminating every quiet corner of your soul.

Step 6: Place your burdens at His feet,

each one a pebble in His palms,

watch them dissolve into light

like morning fog melting over fields.

Step 7: Listen.

The world’s chatter fades into a hum

and in the space between thoughts

you feel His breath, slow and deep,

a tide washing through your heart.

Step 8: Let prayer rise like smoke

from a candle in an empty chapel—

words, sighs, or silence

all weaving together into warmth,

an invisible thread binding you to Him.

Step 9: Feel peace seep through you

like ink through paper,

filling blank spaces with color

and writing a story you do not yet know.

Step 10: When you rise, carry it gently,

a lantern for your day,

a song under your ribs,

a river in your hands.

Return to these steps when the world feels sharp.

Jesus waits in the quiet,

ready to teach your soul to float.
