Welcome to Awakening Through Wonder.
And in this session,
We explore wonder.
It's that quiet spark that awakens something ancient and joyful within us.
As Spring slowly opens her eyes,
We too are invited to awaken,
To feel again,
To notice again,
To remember that even in the simplest things,
The light on a leaf,
The sound of birdsong,
The breath in your lungs,
There is magic.
Wonder isn't a luxury,
It's a portal.
A soft,
Essential way back to joy,
Curiosity,
And the part of you that believes in possibility.
We'll take a moment to connect to your breath,
To open your senses.
So,
Wherever you are,
Make sure you are warm and cozy in your space.
Feel your body begin to relax and gently close your eyes.
Feel your shoulders drop and your jaw release.
And just begin by simply noticing the rhythm of your breath.
There's no need to change it,
Just inhale slowly through your nose.
Feel the breath and exhale softly through your mouth.
Now,
Inhale as if you're breathing in the scent of something beautiful.
Blossoms,
Herbs,
The fresh earth.
And as you exhale,
You're softly sighing it back out to the world.
Inhale,
Breathe in that beautiful scent.
And exhale,
Sighing it back out to the world.
This time as you inhale,
Open to life and exhale,
Soften into it.
Inhale,
And now receive the beautiful gift of this moment.
And exhale,
And just let it melt into your body.
Let your breath become a quiet invitation for wonder to return.
Now,
Visualize yourself in a gentle forest in early spring.
The air is cool and fresh,
Filled with the earthy scent of rain-soaked soil.
Around you,
There are tiny green shoots pushing through the earth,
Hope made visible.
Bird song drifts above you,
And soft sunlight filters through the budding branches.
You find a small clearing and just stand still.
Just breathe in this sacred aliveness.
As you inhale,
Feel this energy,
Light,
Soft,
Full of newness,
And it's filling your chest.
And as you exhale,
Feel your body soften,
As if returning home to something it always knew.
In this quiet forest,
You begin to remember.
You are part of this rhythm.
You,
Too,
Are awakening.
You,
Too,
Are allowed to start again.
So,
Just feel this wonder ripple through you,
Not as something to grasp,
But as something to receive.
So,
Let's just take a few more breaths here,
Feeling alive,
Curious,
And quietly joyful.
So,
Inhale,
Feel this energy,
Full of wonder and newness.
And exhale,
And just let your body soften,
Letting go,
Returning home to something it always knew.
And just continue in your own time for three more breaths.
Good.
Now,
Just resume your natural breathing pattern.
Now,
Let's affirm,
Either quietly or as a whisper to yourself,
I open to the wonder of this moment.
I open to the wonder of this moment.
New beginnings are blooming within me.
Just reflect on those words for a moment.
And breathe them deep into your heart.
Wonderful.
So,
As you return to your day,
Carry with you this lightness.
Come back to your physical surroundings now,
And just notice the room that you are in.
Roll your shoulders if that feels good.
Softly open your eyes.
So,
Just let yourself be surprised by beauty.
Notice the little things.
You are part of this great unfolding,
And wonder is never far away.
So,
Until next time,
Keep breathing and stay curious.
Namaste,
My friend.
