Good morning,
This is Brie Jones,
And I'm so glad you are here waking up with me today.
Let's begin your day with gratitude.
Allow yourself to settle into this moment,
Meeting your experience with curiosity and kindness.
Begin by creating a little energy in your body.
Gently stretching to wake up the body and wake up the mind.
Allow your hands to rest in your lap.
With palms facing towards the sky.
Open and ready to receive whatever the day may hold.
And if you haven't already.
Go ahead and soften your gaze or gently close your eyes.
As you settle into this moment.
Allow the fog of early morning to gently lift.
Allow my words to guide you.
With each breath and every word,
Your mind and your body grow more awake.
More alive.
And more present.
Notice each inhale and each exhale.
Notice how each brings energy and clarity to your body and mind.
Beginning your day with gratitude allows for calmness and peace to flow through your entire day.
Let your creativity guide you in this practice.
Now,
Visualize before you five things you are grateful for today.
They can be anything.
Your favorite person.
A beloved pet.
Even simply your breath.
Take a moment and sit with them.
Savor each one in detail.
Gently hold what you are grateful for close to your heart.
And feel warmth expand from within.
A soft radiant glow from head to toe.
And whenever you are ready.
Gently open your eyes.
Feeling refreshed.
Give yourself a good big stretch and welcome this new day fully into your body and mind.
Thank you for practicing with me today.
May the steadiness you've cultivated here continue to support you in the moments ahead.
And if you enjoyed this meditation,
Remember to save it so you can practice with me each morning.
