Good morning my friends.
We're starting off this beautiful day with a grand rising and mindful intention about where we are.
Taking some time in contemplation for beginning anew,
Planting the seeds of new thoughts,
New choices,
New life,
And what that means to you.
After this meditation,
You may journal anything that came up for you.
I invite you to settle in,
Sit comfortably,
Close your eyes,
And take a few mindful breaths here.
Breathing deeply in,
And exhale fully.
Another deep breath in,
And exhaling fully.
Last deep inhale,
Holding at the top,
And releasing all the way out.
Now returning to your regular breathing rate.
We have all possibilities available to us every moment of every day.
We have the choice to decide what things mean for us.
Ask yourself quietly in your mind,
What does a grand rising mean to you today?
Is it the blessing of opening your eyes,
Feeling restored and rested?
Is it embracing the beauty of this new day?
Is it waking with gratitude for all of the things around you when you open your eyes?
Take a moment here in contemplation,
What does a grand rising mean to you today?
When you imagine a new dawn for your current circumstances,
What does that feel like?
Does it feel like a fresh start?
Does it feel like a choice to bring your highest self into this day?
Does it feel like a promising turning point?
Or does it simply feel like the warm sun on your skin and a breeze through your hair?
Taking a moment in contemplation,
What does a new dawn for your current situation feel like?
How does authentic unity show up in your life today?
Is it coming together with friends and family?
Is it gathering to volunteer somewhere?
Or is it co-operation with those around you,
Recognizing that you are one spirit?
Take a moment here in contemplation,
How does authentic unity show up in your life today?
If we affirm that unity with spirit is complete and perfect,
How does that show up in the world around us?
Do you see beauty in nature from a blade of grass to a weeping willow tree?
Do you see yourself in harmony with those around you?
Can you see the beggar or the thief in their true wholeness?
Take a moment in contemplation,
If we affirm that unity with spirit is complete and perfect,
How does that show up in the world around us?
The sun has set on the old way of thinking.
How do we emerge into a world that truly works for everyone?
Do you let yesterday's troubles stay in the past?
Do you commit to respecting each other's differences?
Do we embrace love,
Peace and unity to bridge the gaps?
Take a moment in contemplation,
The sun has set on the old way of thinking.
How do we emerge into a world that truly works for everyone?
Now,
When you're ready,
You can come back into the room,
Into your body and open your eyes.
If you feel called to write about what came up for you in contemplation,
You can do that now,
Using the affirmation for the day.
I start each day with a grand rising,
Reflecting on we are rising together toward a real unity with spirit that is already complete and perfect.
I hope you all have a beautiful day.
You
