Welcome to Your Preparation Space
You’re registered for Held in the Arms — the first circle in the Octopus Setup Spot™ Holiday Series. This space is your gentle starting point — a place to ground, soften, and prepare your body to enter the calm rhythm of the circle.
Take a deep breath. You’ve already begun.
Before the Circle
Here’s what you’ll need to prepare:
A quiet space where you can move and breathe freely.
Paper and markers or crayons for simple mandala art.
A candle or small object for comfort.
An open heart — permission to move gently and be held.

Mandala of Soothing Light
This mandala is a reminder that calm and clarity are already within you. Download and print as many copies as you may need. You can begin now to feel and experience the power of being held and flowing. Color or trace it slowly as a mindfulness practice. As you trace each line, imagine the light expanding gently through your body — creating space for rest, safety, and renewal.
Held in the Arms Workbook
Reflection and writing prompts to explore how safety feels within you. Use this workbook with the playlist or after your humming practice.
For a deeper sound experience, listen to your short Spotify Mini-Playlist curated for this circle.
It’s designed to help your system settle and open through rhythm, voice, and vibration.
🎧 November Sound Companion PDF
This Sound Companion PDF includes the full curated playlist and reflection notes to help you immerse in the theme of Held in the Arms.
These songs invite your nervous system to remember calm, belonging, and the natural rhythm of ease.
Let this song guide your breath and movement.
You can listen while coloring, stretching, or simply resting with your eyes closed.
Feel the resonance move through your body, softening tension and opening the heart to receive.
Remember
This is not about performance — it’s about presence. Each breath, color, and note is an act of returning to yourself. Let your preparation be as sacred as the circle itself.
Looking Ahead
Next month’s circle — Glow in the Dark — continues this journey with the theme of softening into inner radiance.
You’ll receive an invitation soon if you wish to continue.
With calm anticipation,
Michelle
