Good morning.
Welcome to a short morning meditation to get your day started in a calm and relaxed manner.
Whether you're still lying in bed or you found a comfortable seat,
I invite you to close your eyes.
Take a nice deep breath in through the nose and let it out of your mouth.
Now seal your lips and inhale through your nose slowly for a count of three,
Two,
One,
And exhale for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Inhale through your nose for three,
Two,
One.
Exhale for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Once more,
Inhale for three,
Two,
One.
Exhale for six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Let that go and return to your natural breath.
Begin to relax your body.
Feel your body getting heavy but soft.
Notice where you can soften your body five percent right here.
Bring your focus back to your breath.
Repeat the mantra silently to yourself,
I am relaxed.
I am relaxed.
Take your awareness to the top of your head and then extend that awareness up above you and start to visualize a light or an energy source above your head.
This may be a golden or a white light or even a liquid light coming down from above and pouring into your head.
Visualize this light coming into your head,
Your neck,
And your shoulders.
Allow this light to come down into both arms,
Hands,
And fill up your whole torso.
Feel the warmth of this light coming down to your hips,
Flowing down your legs and into your feet.
Become aware of your whole body as a source of this light and start to awaken the sensation of lightness throughout your whole body.
Repeat the mantra silently to yourself,
I am at ease.
I am at ease.
Send your awareness all the way down through the center of the earth now out of your body and into the ground and begin to visualize another light source.
Allow this light from the center of the earth to flow all the way up into the soles of your feet,
Your legs,
And your hips.
Allow this grounding light to flow into your torso,
Your hands,
And arms.
Let this light flow into your shoulders,
Your neck,
And your whole head.
Feel your whole body as a source of radiant glowing light.
Extend this light around you to form a protective aura surrounding your whole body like a cocoon of protective glowing light.
Repeat the mantra to yourself,
I am calm.
I am calm.
If there's anything right now that is not serving you,
Visualize whatever it is leaving your body as gray smoke.
Allow the protective aura of light surrounding you to transform this gray smoky energy back into brilliant glowing light.
Allow yourself to sit in your cocoon of light.
Allow yourself to be with whatever arises.
Take in a slow deep breath through your nose and let it out of your mouth with a sigh.
Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes.
Roll your wrists and ankles.
Turn your head gently from side to side and when you are ready you can begin to blink your eyes open and begin
