Hello Shining Soul,
And good morning.
If you're new here,
Welcome.
I am Celia,
A certified meditation teacher,
And I am so grateful to be guiding you today.
Allow yourself to simply be present in this moment.
If this practice feels supportive for you,
You're always welcome to return whenever you need a peaceful moment to breathe,
Quiet your mind,
And come back to yourself.
For now,
There is nowhere else you need to be.
Nothing you need to figure out,
Nothing you need to solve in this moment.
When you're ready,
Softly close your eyes.
Rest your hands gently on your knees or lap,
Whichever feels most comfortable for you.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And gently let it go.
Relax your forehead.
Unclench your jaw.
And let yourself arrive here.
Right here,
In this breath,
In this moment.
Perhaps there is something waiting for you today,
A responsibility.
A difficult conversation.
A decision.
For just these few minutes.
You don't have to carry all of that.
Take another slow breath in.
And as you exhale imagine placing everything you're worrying about down for a moment.
You can return to it later if you need to.
But right now,
You are allowed to rest.
You Remind yourself,
I do not have to solve everything right now.
I can take one moment at a time.
I can take one breath at a time.
Stress often tries to pull us away from the present moment,
Into the future,
Into what if.
Into everything that hasn't even happened yet.
But gently bring yourself back.
Feel your body here.
Feel the support beneath you.
Feel the air moving in and out.
You are here.
And in this moment.
You can breathe.
You may not be able to control everything around you.
You can choose to pause.
You can choose to soften.
You can choose to meet yourself with love.
Take a deep breath in.
And slowly release it.
Now silently repeat these words to yourself,
Or simply listen.
You I am safe in this present moment.
I release the need to control everything.
I trust myself to handle one moment at a time.
I can remain calm even when life feels uncertain.
I do not have to rush.
I give myself permission to pause and breathe.
Peace is available to me in this moment.
I choose to respond with calm and love.
I trust that I can handle what comes my way.
I am stronger than this stressful moment.
I return to myself.
I return to peace.
You As you prepare to move into the rest of your morning,
Imagine yourself carrying this calm with you.
Not because your day has to be perfect.
Not because nothing stressful will happen.
But because you can return to yourself.
Again.
And again.
When your thoughts begin to rose,
Breathe.
When stress begins to rise,
Pause.
When life feels overwhelming.
Welcome back to this moment.
Come back to your breath.
And gently remind yourself.
I can handle this moment.
You don't need to have everything figured out.
You only need to take the next gentle step.
Take a deep breath in.
.
.
And release.
Feel your body feel this moment.
Feel yourself becoming a little more grounded a little more present.
A little more peaceful.
And silently say.
.
.
Today I choose calm over fear.
Today,
I choose to meet myself with love.
Take one final,
Beautiful breath in.
And slowly let it go.
You When you're ready,
Gently bring awareness back to your body.
Wiggle your fingers.
Until your toes.
And when it feels right.
Gently open your eyes.
You you Welcome back,
Shining soul.
Carry this peace with you into your morning.
And remember.
You don't have to calm your entire life today.
You only have to come back to this moment.
You are love.
