Welcome and good morning.
A new morning has arrived for you.
Let this just be a little moment of wonder.
The simple gift of another sunrise.
Breath.
Another opportunity to experience something beautiful.
So let's welcome this day through gratitude and joy.
Will begin by gently awakening those little sparks of appreciation.
That can sometimes be found in the simplest of things.
So rest wherever you are comfortable.
Maybe just lying in bed or beside a window or just enjoying the morning light.
Might still be tucked under the covers,
But wherever you are,
Allow your body to soften.
Your shoulders relax.
Soften your face.
And just take a lovely unhurried breath in.
And then just gently release with a soft sigh.
Breathe in and welcome the freshness of this morning and breathe out just letting yourself arise.
Bring your awareness towards your heart center.
You can maybe rest one hand gently over your heart and the other over your belly.
Just feel the natural movement of your breathing.
The quiet rising.
And the gentle falling.
And remember that you're breath.
Has been with you throughout the night.
And here it is again,
Carrying you into another beautiful day.
Let's begin with a simple gratitude breath.
So,
As you inhale,
Quietly welcome the words,
Thank you.
And as you exhale for this moment.
Breathing in.
Thank you.
Breathing out.
For this moment.
And now in your own comfortable rhythm for three breaths.
And once more breathing in.
Thank you.
And breathing out for this moment.
So just see the softest golden morning light beginning to spread across the horizon.
It's the first warmth of sunlight touching the garden.
A little bird is beginning its morning song.
There is the gentle rustling of leaves.
It's a world that is slowly coming alive.
And as you breathe in now,
Just imagine that you are breathing in a little of that golden light.
So now you allow it to fill your chest with warmth.
And as you breathe out.
Imagine that warmth spreading throughout your body.
This golden light is flowing into your shoulders,
Along your arm,
Your chest.
You're back.
Your belly.
Your hips,
Legs and feet.
Just let it flow throughout your body.
Bringing warmth.
Bringing nurturing.
Bringing gentleness.
Breathe in.
And receive this morning.
And breathe out.
Sharing that warmth throughout your body.
Let's invite a little joy into your breathing now.
Just allowed the corners of your mouth to lift into the gentlest of smiles.
Just a tiny softness around your lips.
Just notice how this small movement feels.
Take a beautiful breath in through your nose.
And as you breathe out,
Imagine your smile gently flowing down towards your heart.
And see that smile now resting in your heart,
Bringing with it a brightness,
A lightness,
And even a little playfulness.
So breathing in.
Let's welcome joy and,
Breathing out,
Let that joy ripple through you.
A lovely full comfortable breath in.
Followed by a song.
Easy release Now bring to your mind one thing that makes your heart smile.
The sound of someone laughing.
A favorite flower opening in your garden.
The warmth of a cup held between your hands.
Or a beautiful memory that still brings such a beautiful sparkle to your eyes.
Sometimes joy can live in the smallest of places.
And as you hold that little moment in your awareness,
Breathe in gently.
Just let that feeling become part of your breath.
And then breathe out.
And just let it flow softly around your heart.
So we'll awaken your body just a little now.
Bring your arms to float outwards as you breathe in.
Opening gently as though welcoming the morning and as you breathe out Let your arms float back down.
Inhale.
Opening to possibility,
Exhale,
Resting in appreciation.
Breathing in,
Welcoming all the little wonders that this beautiful day might hold.
And breathing out.
Allowing a sense of gratitude to flow through you.
Breathing,
Receiving.
Letting go,
Returning to stillness.
Once more breathing in.
Enjoy the breathing out appreciation.
And gently return to stillness.
So just take a moment to notice how you feel,
Maybe a little more awake,
More spacious.
A glimmer of beautiful joy somewhere within you.
Or just simply the quiet comfort of having given yourself these moments.
So as you begin to prepare for your day.
Carry these few gentle intentions with you.
Today I welcome the beauty of moments.
Today I allow gratitude.
To soften my heart and fill my body.
Today I make space for laughter,
Wonder and joy.
And just breathe those words deep into your heart.
Take a nourishing breath in.
Feel the gentle movement of your chest.
And breathe out.
Releasing into the wonders of this beautiful new day.
The beautiful possibility of a day that is yet to unfold.
So meet this glorious day one breath and one moment at a time.
And discover those reasons to smile.
To feel gratitude.
In unexpected places.
And let joy visit you in the loveliest,
Beautiful ways.
Have a beautiful,
Wonderful morning.
Namaste,
My friend.
