Good morning and welcome to this morning meditation.
The goal of this early morning meditation is to gently bring you to the present moment and get you started into this beautiful day with peace and positivity.
Whenever you're ready,
Find a comfortable position for you,
Whether it is lying down or sitting.
Remember this is a moment for you and your comfort is everything.
When you're ready,
Gently close your eyes,
Place your hands on your thighs if you're seated or gently next to your body if you're lying down.
But if you feel like you need to place your hand on your heart or on your belly or any part of your body that needs your love right now,
That is absolutely fine.
Now as you're in your comfortable position and your eyes are gently closed,
Begin by feeling the room around you and what's happening,
The noises,
The smells,
Bringing attention closer and closer to your body,
To the feeling of your hands touching a surface or your skin and with the next in-breath I invite you to take a deep breath in and a deep breath out,
Becoming aware of breathing.
Take a few moments of in-breaths and out-breaths to truly grasp the act of breathing.
How does the air feel entering your nose,
Your throat and your lungs?
Where can you feel the air the most?
And remember there's no right way here,
Wherever you feel it the most is the right way for you.
So pay attention to that life force entering your body and your lungs.
How does it feel?
And so as you're applying this curiosity to the act of breathing,
You can slowly resume breathing as you usually do.
And as you do try to check in with your internal weather right now,
This beautiful morning of a new day.
Are there any clouds or is the sky blue?
See a little stormy,
Observe the weather and remember whichever the weather may be right now.
The blue sky is always there and that weather is only temporary.
And as you enter a state of deeper awareness and relaxation,
You may now pay attention to a few affirmations to get you started into this beautiful day.
Feel free to repeat those affirmations for yourself or simply listen to them and let them sink in at your own pace into your subconscious,
Whichever way you choose works best for you.
Today I choose to be kind to myself.
Today I choose to speak impeccably of myself and of others.
Today I choose to listen to my needs first.
Today I choose to befriend my inner voice.
Today I choose to soothe myself the way I would a scared or hurt friend or loved one.
Today I choose to spend time with myself devout of distractions,
Technology and media.
Today I choose to do one little thing just for myself.
Today I choose to become the observer of my thoughts without judgement,
Without the desire for things to be different.
Today I choose to see the world through the lens of curiosity of a small child,
Admiring the wonder of the smallest of things.
Today I choose to feel peace inside me.
Now as these affirmations are resonating within your mind,
You are free to relisten to this meditation any time of the day or as many times as you need or repeat it on a daily basis and I guarantee you will feel more at peace,
More in sync with your own needs and wishes.
Let these affirmations are sinking into your subconscious as they will throughout the entire day.
I invite you to gently open your eyes and allow yourself to just be for a little moment,
Not rushing,
Not running anywhere,
Simply being with this feeling of giving yourself this gift this morning,
Spending time with yourself,
Sending positive and loving energy to your mind and your body.
I wish you a beautiful day and thank you for spending this moment with me.
