Welcome and good morning. Thank you for being here. Let's come into a comfortable seat together and take a moment to lengthen your spine. Soften down your gaze. And allow the words that follow to wash over you. Or perhaps repeat any to yourself that feel true for you on this new day. We'll begin by coming into awareness of your body breathing. Take three. Slow breaths right into the bottom of your being. I greet this day. Not with the pains of yesterday. The promises of tomorrow. But with an unwavering presence to what is. Both my feet firmly planted on the ground. I greet this day with a strong back. A soft front. And the steady beating of my heart. The heart's rhythmic pulses. Are a reliable companion. That walks with me through this life. My anchor. A lighthouse. My signpost back. I will greet this day. Its magic and its mystery. With adoration. And I will remind myself. That I have never been able to control or fully understand it. But I can choose to lay at the altar of dewy grass on this fresh morning. In awe and wonder of all the what-ifs and the what's to come. I promise to meet this day with my head high. My spine straight and my chest proud. For I. Like the trees and the rivers. The mountains and the valleys. Have my place in here. I will choose to meet whatever comes with curiosity. Grace. And compassion. Settling once more into your body breathing. And we'll finish with another. Full three breaths. Slowly in through the nose. All the way into the base of our being. When you are ready. Simply opening your eyes. And greeting this new day.
