You'll also plan one small action to make your day better. In just a few minutes, you'll feel clear, positive, and ready to take the day on.

Transcript

Find a comfortable,

Seated position.

Take three deep breaths,

Inhaling fresh energy as if you're breathing in the scent of a crisp morning.

Exhaling any remnants of sleep,

As if a gentle breeze is clearing mental cobwebs.

Now,

Bring your awareness to your heart centre.

Picture a warm golden light here,

Your inner compass.

As you breathe into this light,

Feel its warmth spreading,

Hear its subtle hum resonating through your body.

Let your hand rest here to physically connect with this energetic core.

Ask yourself,

What do I most need or wish to experience today?

Listen patiently,

Noticing any feelings,

Maybe peace,

Maybe joy.

Qualities such as patience,

Courage or outcomes that arise.

Next,

Let this need or wish transform into a personal symbol that resonates deeply.

Perhaps resilience becomes a sturdy oak,

Clarity a mountain stream or joy a dancing flame.

Place this symbol within your heart light.

With each breath,

Amplify its presence.

Feel its texture.

Hear its sounds.

Smell its essence.

Now,

Imagine your day unfolding,

This heart symbol guiding your choices.

If doubts arise,

Can I really handle this?

Picture your symbol growing brighter,

Its unique qualities like oak's strength,

Stream's clarity,

Flame's joy,

Dissolving those doubts.

Also,

Visualise one specific value-aligned action you'll take today that honours this intention.

Maybe it's active listening for patience,

Writing for clarity,

Or laughing heartily for joy.

See yourself doing this.

Reinforcing self-worth through consistent,

Meaningful behaviour.

Finally,

Set the intention to pause and reconnect with your heart symbol throughout your day.

Picture specific moments.

Before a meeting,

During lunch,

When you'll touch your heart and silently affirm,

I trust my inner guidance to lead me today.

Feel the calm assurance this brings.

Take one last notion of your day.

Feel the calm assurance this brings.

Take one last nourishing breath.

You're ready to embark on your day,

Attuned to your inner wisdom,

Embodying your chosen qualities and committed to actions that reflect your highest intentions.

Your day is already brimming with the potential for fulfilment.

Wiggle fingers and toes.

As you open your eyes,

Feel focused and empowered to fulfil your capabilities.

Reviews

One of the BEST morning practices I’ve found in a couple years. I love picking a symbol to go with the quality I most need in my day. And I appreciate Andre’s clear, calm voice, the intentional soundscape he creates in each meditation, and the gentle guidance he gives. Thanks, Andre! FANTASTIC!
