Transcript

This is a short morning meditation. To arrive gently into your day from a grounded and anchored place. Begin by getting comfortable in a seated position. Perhaps on a chair. Allow your feet to touch the floor. Feel the spine gently lengthened. The hands resting on your thighs. Closing your eyes or softening your gaze. Begin to feel all expression of the face. Dissolve. Relaxing the forehead. Softening the eyes. Unclench the jaw. Relaxing the tongue in the mouth. Feel the weight of the shoulders dropping down. And the way you did the hips. Dropping down. Notice the body gently moving with the breath. A chest and the belly rising and falling. Feel the air flow in and out of the nostrils. Notice any temperature change from the inhale. To the exhale. Notice the sounds of the morning. Allowing your ears to be receptive. Listening for all the sounds that are far away. Without identifying with any sounds. Listen to the sounds inside your environment. Perhaps in the recording. And listen to the sound of your own heart. In your own breath. Notice any tastes lingering in the mouth. Any smells. Notice with eyes closed that there is still light coming through the eyelids. Feel the touch of air on the skin. And now notice the thinking mind. Thoughts coming and going. Thinking. Perhaps analyzing. Notice any thoughts coming. Without identifying. No need to quiet the mind. Just observe the thoughts coming. Be the witness of your thoughts. And now notice if there's any pauses between the thoughts. Any gaps. And now bring your awareness down to your feet. Notice where your feet touch the floor or the earth. Notice what parts of the toes are touching. The space underneath the arch. The heel any sensations. And the soles of the feet. And now as you continue to breathe. On the inhale. Feel yourself drying up the Earth's energy. Through the feet, Letting it flow all the way up to the crown of the head. Feel this prana, This life force energy. And on the exhale. Letting go what you don't need to carry with you today down into the earth. Allow the earth to absorb it. Inhaling, Drying up energy. Exhale, Letting go. Continue with this, Inhaling drawing up the Earth's energy. Exhale, Letting go what you don't need to carry with you today. And now letting that go. And notice how you feel. Notice the energy in your body energy in your mind. And bring your palms together. We'll rub them together a few times, Get a little bit of heat in the palms. And then cupping them over the eyes, Take a nice deep inhale through the nose. And opening the mouth, Exhaling. Do that again, Rubbing the palms together. Cupping them over the eyes, Nice deep inhale here. Exhale maybe this time sigh out through the mouth. And then let both hands rest on your chest. Bowing down towards your hands. Acknowledging and honoring yourself. Offering yourself loving kindness. And perhaps whatever else you need for your day. When you're ready, Open your eyes. Namaste.
