Aric stepped closer, a confidence radiating from him that was calming and inspiring. "Start with something simple," he said, his tone soothing. "Close your eyes. It's crucial to cut out all distractions. Then, pay attention to your breathing—keep it slow and steady. Focus on feeling the energy and aura around us, in the air and the ground. It's always here, just waiting for us to connect with it."
Taking Aric's advice to heart, Clara closed her eyes, taking deep and even breaths. She quieted her thoughts, focusing solely on her breath and the faint, almost electric buzz in her surroundings she'd barely registered before.
Aric watched her intently, his voice both gentle and commanding as he continued his guidance. "Now, stretch your senses a bit further. Imagine there's a thread connecting you to everything around you. Let this connection form naturally, without trying to force it."
