Hello. Carolyn here. Welcome. This morning practice is an imitation. To awaken gently. To begin the day, Not from pressure. Or urgency. But from steadiness. Like the natural rising of the sun. Let's begin. Find yourself in a comfortable position. Allow the body to settle naturally. And gently close your eyes. Or soften your gaze. Take a slow breath in. And a long, Easy breath out. Try let the exhale be a little longer than the inhale. Again, Breathing in… and breathing out. Allowing the nervous system to soften. Allow the body to recognize. That a new day has begun. Now imagine the first light of morning. Appearing softly on the horizon. Just a soft golden glow. Steady. . . Peaceful. Natural. As you breathe. Imagine this morning light. Slowly reaching you. The air feels fresh. Calm. Clear and with each breath. Your body begins to gently awaken. Not rushed. Not forced. Chest. Naturally. Like the Earth awakening to morning. Feel the muscles of the face soften. The jaw relax. The shoulders loosen. The breath becoming smooth. And easy. Now imagine the warmth of early sunlight. Resting softly across your skin. A gentle signal to the body. You are safe. You can begin slowly. You do not need to rush into the stage. Take a slow breath in. And imagine. Clarity entering with the breath a calm. Grounded clarity. A quiet wakefulness. Now silently say to yourself. . . I allow myself to awaken naturally. I move. At a steady pace. I trust my own rhythm. Feel the body becoming more present. More balanced. As if every breath is helping you. Return to your natural timing. The timing of the body. The breath. Good morning. Now imagine yourself. Stepping into this new day. With calm energy. Steady focus. And inner spaciousness. There may still be responsibilities. Tasks. Uncertainty. But beneath all of that. There is steadiness. There is breath. There is this moment. Take one more slow breath in. And gently exhale. Begin noticing the room around you. The surface beneath you. Slowly wiggle the fingers and the toes. And when you're ready. Gently. Open your eyes. Bringing this calm morning rhythm with you. Into the rest of your day. Until next time. May peace be with you.
