Good morning,
Beautiful soul.
This is Joanna Szymanski speaking,
And I am honored to lead you through a gentle meditation today.
Thank you for waking up with me and let's begin your day with gratitude.
See if you can begin by creating a little energy in your body.
Gently stretch to wake up the body.
Wake up the mind.
Allow your hands to rest in your lap with palms toward the sky.
Open and ready to receive the abundance of this day.
And if you haven't already,
Go ahead and soften your gaze or gently close your eyes.
And as you settle into this moment,
Allow the fog of the early morning to gently lift.
Allow my words to guide you.
With each breath and every word.
Your mind and body grow more awake,
More alive,
And more present.
Beginning your day with gratitude cultivates an attitude of abundance that flows through your entire day.
Let your creativity guide you.
Go ahead now and see before you five things you are grateful for today.
They can be anything.
Your favorite person.
A beloved pet.
Even your breath.
Take a moment now and sit with them.
Savor each one.
Gently hold what you are grateful for close to your heart.
And feel a warmth expand from within your center.
A soft,
Radiant glow.
Expanding now to the top of your head and to your toes.
Good.
And whenever you are ready,
Gently stretch your fingers and toes,
Opening your eyes slowly.
Feeling alert and refreshed,
Ready to start the day.
Give yourself a good stretch.
And welcome this new day fully into your body and mind.
Thank you for practicing with me today.
May this feeling of gratitude stay with you throughout the day.
Until we meet again.
