When I started my Manifest Monday mornings - it was really to help move me out of my own anxieties from the week ahead - especially when I had too much going on. I made this for myself, and as my first "recorded" meditation, decided I'd share it with others. Begin your week with gratitude, intention, and grounded clarity. This guided meditation is designed to help you reconnect to your inner power, shift out of anxiousness and "reactivity", and activate the creator within. With a focus on breath, presence, and affirmations, this practice gently anchors you into presence, and into the truth that you are on the right path, you are enough, you are already creating the life you’re meant to live. Perfect for Monday mornings—or anytime you need to reset—this meditation reminds you of who you really are, beyond the noise. Let go of anxiety. Step into purpose. Start your day aligned.

Thank you for joining me for this beginning of the week meditation.

For some of us,

Especially those busy type A,

Either entrepreneurs or big into our careers,

The mind is so unbelievably strong.

And we've come up through this life being given accolades and praises for achieving and doing and thinking our way into and out of things.

And this is wonderful and it has served us for so many different ways,

But it also teaches us to disconnect from the heart and sometimes from presence.

So I made this meditation to kind of reconnect,

To get realigned and activate our power,

Especially the beginning of a week to kind of reclaim and remember who we are.

So let's begin.

Let's take a moment now and close your eyes down if you haven't already.

And let's begin with breath,

A deep inhale in through the nose,

Hold at the top,

And now release slowly through the mouth.

And again,

Inhale presence and now exhale anything that doesn't serve you anymore.

Now let's bring your attention into your body.

Feel your feet on the floor.

Feel the support of the earth beneath you.

If you're lying down,

You can feel the pressure of the pillows or the floor underneath you,

Knowing that it has you and you are safe.

Feel the beat of your heart,

The rhythm of life itself.

This heartbeat has been operating without you thinking about it since before the day you were born.

Put your hand on your heart and listen to the little song that it has just for you.

And again,

You are here,

You are now,

And you are safe.

We're going to drop into some gratitude.

Gratitude is the portal to moving us into alignment and attraction and all that we desire.

No matter what is happening in an external world,

Gratitude can always bring us back,

Bring us back into presence and into a higher vibration.

It brings us back home.

For right now,

I want you to call to mind one thing that you are deeply grateful for,

That you felt some deep love or appreciation or joy,

Especially over the past week or weekend.

What's one thing that gave you joy or wonder,

Curiosity?

It could be small or big,

Something that made you smile,

Or a lesson that you learned,

A person who loves you,

Or maybe,

And simply,

It was just a breath that you didn't have to earn.

Once you've got your one thing that you're deeply grateful for,

Or that gives you that love,

Joy,

Or appreciation,

Or wonder,

I want you to let that feeling start to take over.

That feeling that you have right now in that body,

I want you to picture that as a color,

A color of rich,

Golden light.

This is a golden ray of light that is yours whenever you want to call upon it.

You start to imagine this golden ray of light that starts from above the clouds and is making its way to you.

The light starts to pour down from the sky and directly beams on top of your crown.

The top of your head welcomes this light,

And it begins to move down into your cheeks,

And your cheek muscles relax,

Into your jaw,

And your jaw relaxes,

Into all the complex muscles of your face,

And then into your neck.

Everything is starting to relax as this golden light starts to fill you.

As the golden light continues down your neck,

Into your upper chest,

Into your shoulders,

And down through your arms,

And into your hands,

And now we let the golden light come right into our heart.

Feel this healing light in your heart right now,

This rich golden light that stands for love,

Power,

And truth.

And now once it hits your heart,

Which is the driver for all of the compassion and joy and love in your life,

It shoots now down through the rest of your body,

Your hips,

Your knees,

Your ankles,

Your feet,

And your toes.

Be with this rich healing golden light.

And now as you're feeling the golden light radiate through your body,

Healing all that there is to heal,

Feeling so good,

So present,

So safe,

And just feeling this gratitude warm over your body.

I want you now to imagine this light as a bubble that begins to get bigger and bigger,

And now radiates around your body.

It starts to become as big as the room that you are in.

It starts to grow bigger and bigger,

And it now envelops your street.

All the wildlife and the neighbors are feeling this warmth,

This love,

This appreciation.

And with one intention,

This golden bubble of light reaches to all of your loved ones,

Everyone that you hold dear,

And it instantly fills them with that sense of relief,

Joy,

Appreciation.

Now as we're here,

Here are a few things to remember.

You are exactly where you're supposed to be.

You are not behind.

Everything in your life has been completely divinely timed to lead you on this exact path in this exact moment.

Where you are right now.

You are a walking miracle.

You are not broken.

You are complete as you are.

You are not stuck.

You're simply being called into alignment.

Perhaps a feeling that's been years and years and years or since we were even infants,

Which was the last time we listened to our heart instead of our minds.

Now I invite you to remember you are a divine creator.

You are not just a participant in this life,

But a conscious shaper of it.

Every thought that you focus on,

Every word that you utter,

Every emotion that you honor,

And every action that you take is a vote for the world that you are building.

Opportunities surround you everywhere.

Abundance is around you everywhere.

All we need to do is to tune into the frequency of seeing what we already have to then be able to attract all the rest that we desire.

But it starts with the ultimate gratitude and appreciation for everything around us.

The little things,

The big things,

The warmth on our skin,

The weather,

The pillow we sleep in at night,

The feeling of a dog's fur on our hands,

The feeling of grass underneath our feet.

Nature does not want for anything.

It has everything it needs to flourish,

To grow,

To strive,

And so do you.

As we begin this new week,

Or possibly you're listening to this on any day where you needed it,

Let's anchor into a few truths together.

While you're still in this place with this rich golden healing light and you're listening to these words,

I would now invite you to repeat these affirmations after I say them,

Either out loud or in your mind's eye.

I am presence.

I am grateful.

I am powerful.

I am a magnet for clarity,

Connection,

And opportunity.

I trust the timing of my life.

I take aligned action with ease and confidence.

I am exactly who I need to be right now.

I choose to create and not react.

I lead with love and I move with purpose.

I embrace all there is for me in this life.

And I welcome the path that is laid out for me.

Including the bumps,

Bruises,

And the challenges.

As they are all creating me into the person I am meant to become.

I am open to receive everything that is meant for me.

All the love,

The joy,

The peace,

And all the abundance that this life has to offer.

All the abundance comes to me freely and with ease and grace.

And I am able to manifest anything that I desire.

As we finish these affirmations,

It's time to seal our intentions and our wishes today with our divine breath.

So let this next inhale that you have be an invitation.

And the exhale after that will be a declaration.

Take the deep breath in through your nose.

Inhale presence,

Creation,

And abundance.

And then exhale it all.

Let it all go.

And know that you get to create your perfect life.

You are now ready.

Remember who you are.

Remember your power.

And remember that it all starts with gratitude,

Joy,

Love,

And appreciation.

Thank you so much for listening my dear soul.

Go create something beautiful.

And check back in whenever you feel the need.
