A Morning Poem For When You Wake Up Anxious

This short audio is an invitation to begin your day with ease rather than urgency. This is your gentle reminder that you are part of something living, breathing and unhurried. Take a short moment before the rush of the day begins to connect with that sense of belonging to something greater - nature.

Part of the Permission to Feel collection - therapeutic poetry and gentle practices for emotional wellbeing, by Jacky Power, The Therapeutic Poet.

Good morning. Set the flowers. Good morning. Set the bees. Good morning. Said the sunshine. Good morning, Said the breeze. Good morning, Cried the dew. As it kissed the grass. Good morning. Ride the dragonfly. As it skittered past. Good morning, Cried the willow. As it shook its leaves. Good morning, Cried the starling as it poked out from the eaves. Good morning, Good morning. To all that's living. Me today. We love you. With ease. Place one hand on your heart. And breathe in. And imagine breathing in the morning. The dew, The breeze, The light through the leaves. And breathe out. Let go of anything. That doesn't belong. To today. Breathe in that you are part of this living world. And breathe out. With ease.
