Morning Magic – Start Every Day Better - by Kevin Pond

COURSE

Morning Magic – Start Every Day Better

With Kevin Pond

Some mornings we wake up feeling ready for the day. Others, we're tired, worried or already thinking about everything we need to do. Morning Magic is for all of those days. Over ten days, I'll introduce you to simple, powerful techniques to help you create calmer, happier and more positive mornings. Through straightforward teaching and guided practice, we'll explore gratitude, breathing, mindfulness, intentions, affirmations, light and loving-kindness. We'll also learn how to meet difficult mornings with acceptance rather than trying to force ourselves to feel differently. You'll discover which practices work best for you and how to make them part of your morning without adding another complicated task to your day. On our final day, we'll bring everything together in a guided Morning Magic meditation you can return to whenever you like. You don't need any previous experience. You don't need to be a morning person. Just bring yourself, exactly as you are. You'll leave with a collection of practical techniques to help you find calm, lift your mood and meet each new day with greater confidence. And they're yours to use for years to come. PLEASE NOTE: The lessons are recorded without background music or other sounds. You can enjoy the guidance on its own or add your favourite music or ambient sounds through the Insight Timer app.
