Hold the Pebble in your palm, and take a moment to really notice its weight. Let it sit there, steady and certain, as if it has always belonged in your hand.
Allow your shoulders to sink, like stones settling to the bottom of a calm river. Feel the ease that comes when you no longer have to hold yourself up so tightly. Unclench your jaw, gently, and notice how even the smallest shift can soften your whole face.
Soften your hand around the Pebble, letting it rest with you, not against you. The world outside of this moment can wait — the noise, the expectations, the endless tasks. For now, there is only you, your breath, and this small anchor in your palm.
Feel its cool surface, quiet and solid, beginning to warm to your touch. Notice how the longer you hold it, the more it feels like a part of you. As you breathe, imagine that warmth spreading — from your hand, to your arm, to your chest — until your whole body feels just a little heavier, a little more at ease.
Take a breath in, slow and steady, filling your chest like air filling a sail. Then let it out, unhurried, and feel a little more space open inside. Breathe in again, calm and full. Breathe out, letting go of the weight you no longer need to carry.
Stay with the quiet. Listen for the stillness beneath all the thought, the calm that has always been here, waiting. Let your breathing guide you deeper — one inhale, one exhale — like waves rolling gently to shore. With each breath, let yourself settle more fully into this moment.
If a thought comes, let it pass by, the way clouds drift across a wide sky. You don’t have to hold it, you don’t have to follow it. Just return to the Pebble. To your hand. To the steady rhythm of breath.
Take another breath in, and release it slowly. When you’re ready, lift your gaze. Carry this sense of calm with you, tucked into your hand, your breath, and the way you move forward. The Pebble is with you — a reminder that peace is never far away.
