Welcome to Quiet Bloom.
This is a morning meditation designed to help you start your day with ease.
So wherever you are,
Get comfortable.
And when you're ready,
Let's begin.
Start by allowing your body to settle wherever you are.
Maybe you're still in bed or sitting comfortably.
Or standing quietly before your day truly begins.
Take a slow breath in.
And a gentle breath out.
Again,
Inhaling.
And exhaling.
Allow your shoulders to soften away from your ears.
Unclench your jaw.
Soften through your hands and fingers.
We'll begin this practice with a simple box breathing technique.
So for this,
We inhale for a count of four.
Hold for four and exhale for four.
Move at your own pace.
If four feels too long or too short,
Just allow your breath to find a natural rhythm that feels nourishing and safe for you.
When you're ready.
Inhale 2 3 4 Hold 2 3 4 Exhale 2 3 4 Hold 2 3 4 Inhale 2 3 4 Hold 2 3 4 2 3 4.
Hold 2 3 4.
Inhale 2 3 4.
Hold 2 3 4.
Exhale 2 3 4.
Hold 2 3 4.
Good,
Continue going through this lengthened inhale and lengthened exhale at your own pace for a few more rounds of breath.
As you breathe,
Imagine creating just a little bit more space inside yourself.
Space within the body,
Alleviating tension.
Space between your thoughts.
Space between your yesterday and your today.
Creating space to choose how you want to meet this day.
Allow each inhale to gently awaken and energize you.
And each exhale to soften any lingering tension.
Continue breathing.
Inviting a sense of steady.
You inviting a feeling of calm.
Inviting yourself to meet you in this present moment.
Full,
Nourishing,
Deep breath in.
And sigh it out.
Come back to your regular rhythmic breaths.
And as you move throughout this brand new day,
Know that you can always come back to this breathing technique.
Come back to the slow steady space that you have created for yourself time and time again.
Be well today.
