Good morning,
Come and sit with me and let's see if we can untangle some tangles,
Lift that energy a little and meet whatever is here this morning with some compassion.
So get yourself settled and comfortable,
Close those eyes and become aware of this person sitting here right now.
Put your hand on your heart and say to yourself,
Hello and then say your name.
Let's do that one again,
This time with feeling,
So saying hello to yourself and then give yourself a smile and acknowledge how hard it can be to wake up with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Now just based on what is here right now,
The present evidence of this moment without thought and not from memory,
What is wrong with this moment?
And there's no need to judge if you find anything unruly or unwanted.
To turn pain into paint,
This is alchemy and this morning your breath is your paintbrush,
So gently breathing in to whatever has come up.
Using gentle strokes to paint new colours,
Painting space and just for these moments in meditation,
If you can,
Letting go of trying to heal,
Of trying to fix.
And now you're ready for the day,
Knowing that you are everything and nothing,
Consciousness playing out as form,
A human form spinning on a planet in the vastness of space.
And there is no real big plan here,
Everyone is just figuring it out as they go,
So if you dream it up then follow your heart to see where it takes you and know that your heart also wants you to be still sometimes,
It wants you to be small,
It's happy for you to be in low mood,
In hibernation.
Your heart knows you can be nothing and everything,
And low mood or not,
This day is still yours.
Try to be true to yourself in action,
In conversation and in spirit.
Spread your wings a little more and know that you are enough,
Just as you are.
And gently open your eyes as we end this meditation.
