Welcome to this morning meditation,
A body scan to awaken your body and fill it with the light of the sun.
If you're still in bed,
Allowing yourself to rest.
If you're seated,
Bringing your spine tall.
Let your hands rest comfortably,
Maybe palms facing up,
In a gesture to receive this beautiful morning.
Your eyes softly closed or lowered,
Attuning to your breath and the body,
The rhythm of breath in your body.
Noticing how your body is feeling this morning,
Without judging,
Just noticing.
Use internal words to describe your state,
Refreshed,
Groggy,
Or something else.
Allowing whatever it is that you feel this morning to be as it is,
Preparing to awake your body with the light of the sun.
Imagine the sun moving up through your body,
From the tips of your toes,
That beautiful sun peeking over the horizon as it seeps into your toes and the soles of your feet.
Rays of golden sunlight moving up the tops of your feet,
Surrounding your ankles,
A sense of warmth and ease.
You can start to feel the blood flow as you move your awareness up your legs,
The shins and the calves awakening,
The knees,
The thighs,
Blood circulating through your legs,
Nourishing your hips,
The seat of your body,
The front and sides of your hips,
A golden sunrise warming,
Moving up your body,
The rays,
Golden yellow,
Vibrant orange,
Even streaks of red,
Flashes of light and heat move into your body,
Filling up the torso,
The back of your body,
The back of your hips,
The base of your spine.
Can you imagine an orb of sun moving up your spine,
Energizing your spine,
From the tailbone moving up towards the back of your belly,
Warming your belly,
Moving up towards the back of your heart,
Awakening and illuminating the heart space.
The orb of sun travels up the spine,
To the back of the throat,
Through the center of your mind,
Illuminating your mind,
Golden yellow,
Oranges turning into pinks,
Maybe some flashes of red,
As subtle activity starts to enter your mind,
Moving your awareness to the fingertips,
Golden sunlight oozing into the fingertips,
Energizing,
Awakening the fingers,
The palms and backs of your hands,
Gliding up your arms,
Your shoulders feeling this warmth,
Along the back of your neck,
The back of your skull,
The sides of your head,
Imagining now the sun moving outward into the sky,
Loosening your jaw,
Softening your lips,
Your tongue,
A sense of radiance entering into the cheeks,
A full rosy glow,
Oozing into your ears,
The sun gently entering around the muscles of your eyes,
The eyes up to the eyebrows,
Illuminating your third eye,
As the sun moves up into the sky,
It opens up the crown of your head,
Divine love,
And radiance,
Pouring into you from the crown of your head,
Breathing in the radiance of the fresh energy of the morning,
And opening to this day,
You are fresh,
A new perspective,
A fresh you,
Taking your time to appreciate the day,
Setting an intention for yourself for the rest of your day,
What is it that you want to accomplish by the end of your day,
Make it so that you can manifest it,
This is a seed,
A sun kalpa that you plant in your mind,
In the subconscious mind,
In a relaxed state,
You grow it with your attention,
Seeing it in your mind's eye,
The actions,
The decisions,
Knowing you'll manifest it by the end of your day,
Honoring this intention that you set,
When you're ready,
Bringing your hands to a prayer at the center of your heart,
Connecting to the light within,
Feel the radiance,
The exuberance of the sun,
Breathing in the clarity of a radiant sun,
As you exhale,
Honoring the vibrant energy of sun all around you,
Stay open and curious,
As you adventure into this new,
Fresh,
Radiant day,
Namaste.
