A 60-Second Centering Exercise for Volunteers:

Inhale slowly through your nose.
Notice one thing around you that feels steady.
Notice one place in your body that feels grounded.
Exhale gently and soften your shoulders.

“Your presence matters. Let this moment prepare you for the impact you’re about to make.”
