Dare to make this day delicious,
To see it as sacred.
To come home to your heart and to live well in this day.
We can get so lost in our routines,
Wake up,
Scroll,
Make coffee,
Work,
Do all the things.
And yet each and every day really is a miracle.
And yet sometimes we can get so lost in the mundane that we lose the presence of the miracle that life is.
So,
Just for these next few minutes,
Take a pause and sit and settle.
And let your breath deepen.
And let your body sink down.
Soften the back of your body.
The armoring around your hardened heart.
Let your shoulders drop,
Let the weight drop.
Give it to Earth,
You do not have to hold your worries so tight.
You do not have to live this day full of fear.
Wrapped up in worry.
You can let it all drop,
My darling.
Soften your belly and breathe deep in.
If you feel to let your eyelids close or let your gaze drop.
And turn your attention inwards.
Take a pause for presence.
And come home to your own heart.
When we're lost in our mind,
It is hard to feel the miracle that our life is.
Can be caffeinated,
Agitated,
Freaked out,
Super scrolling,
Lost in all of it.
And yet here.
There is this amazing body you have breathing,
Your heart beating.
The sky above you,
Birds flying,
The earth turning under you as it whirls through space.
This ordinary day is a miracle,
My darling.
This strange day with all you have to do is such a gift.
Pause,
And be present.
Let life delight you.
Even though it is strange and weird,
And there are feelings you do not understand moving through you.
Settle down.
Sink in.
And invite your heart to open a little.
Invite gratitude in.
The things you see around you,
For this body that supports you.
For having food and technology to listen on.
For the humans in your life,
Even if those relationships are imperfect.
For the ability to practice.
For your bravery of turning towards meditation that can shift your life.
What we pay attention to makes such a difference.
So I invite you to dare to be delighted.
To see the good in this day,
To open your heart to wonder and to miracles.
See if you can literally soften your breath.
Slow it down.
And I invite you to let life touch you.
To let life come in close.
To come out of your mind and into your senses.
To dare to be with what is beautiful.
To let life love you.
There is goodness all around us and sometimes we don't let it in.
And yet when we soften and settle.
The blessings can touch us a little more,
The good can come in close.
We get less adrenalized.
More available for grace,
More available for goodness.
Speak out loud if you feel too dear life.
I'm willing to be delighted.
I'm willing to feel the gift of you.
To have my heart touched,
To be inspired and uplifted.
Dear life,
Please support me in seeing what is getting me.
In staying calm and settled and open to receive the billion blessings all around me.
Please support me in being slow and steady,
And good and grateful in my life.
Please support me in giving my gifts to others and lifting them up and in sharing their load.
Please support me in being a light in life.
Thank you,
Life,
For the gift of this day.
May I see how precious and potent it is.
May I live with gratitude for the wonder of this simple day,
Of this moment.
So as this audio finishes,
Spend a couple of minutes speaking out loud your own words in your own way.
Give thanks.
Ask for the help you need.
Dare to be delighted.
Commit to choosing joy.
Thank you for your practice,
For changing your inner state,
For letting life love you.
I invite you to join me again soon.
Thank you for seeing life as sacred.
It really is a gift.
May you be well.
May you be delighted.
