Hello, I am Jose Rosales. I'm a student at Arrupe college of Loyola. Today I will lead you guys on an examen about hope.

To start off, we are going to ground ourselves.

Find a nice, quiet place. Somewhere you find peace in. Find a comfortable sitting position or laying Somewhere where your body and muscles feel relaxed for your attention to be all on the examen. You can close your eyes or have a soft gaze to them.

Let's take 3 deep breaths (3 long ins and outs)

Feel the energy pulsing in you, radiating around you

Take this time to acknowledge some sort of higher (god, spirits)

Feel the present near you and welcoming, peaceful, warm, and guiding. Reflecting onto hope -

As you get more at peace, place yourself at the beginning of the Summer is coming to an end. Are you anticipating greatness this semester?
