Good morning, Dear friend. As this new day begins, Take this moment for you. Take a slow, Deep breath in. And gently breathe out. Bring your hands together to create warmth. And place your hand now at your heart centre at the centre of the chest. Again, Breathing it. And as you breathe out, Allow your shoulders to soften. And your jaw to relax. Breathe in deeply. And as you breathe out alive, This warmth to spread through your chest. You can imagine it like light that grows brighter and brighter. Spreading down your shoulders and your arms. Filling the whole of your body with warmth. Peace. And joy. And now ask yourself. What brings a smile to my heart? Perhaps it's someone you love. The warmth of sun on your face. You or the sound of birds singing. You Allow yourself to rest with whatever comes to mind. And feeling grateful for the happiness. That it brings. Take one final breath in. And I. And if you'd like, Return to this practice each morning for the next month. To allow gratitude and joy to become part of the way you begin your day. And beginning to open your eyes. Have a wonderful day.
