Good morning,
Beautiful soul,
Before the day begins,
Before the phone and the emails and the to-do list and the noise.
Just have this a few minutes.
Just you.
Close your eyes or gaze downwards towards your heart.
Take one long,
Slow breath in through your nose and open the mouth wide as you release it fully.
Breathe in deep,
Slow,
Long,
And let it go.
Feel into the weight of your body wherever you are.
And then into the ground or the surface beneath you.
You don't need to hold yourself upright,
Not yet.
Just be here in your body in this moment before anything else has asked anything of you.
Scan your body slowly from the very top of your head down.
Through the forehead.
Soften through the jaw,
The shoulders,
Open your hands.
And let your belly rise freely.
And just for this moment.
You are not responsible for anything except this breath,
Here and now.
Bring to mind one word,
One quality or energy you want to carry into your day.
Not a task,
Not a goal.
Maybe it's presence.
Ease,
Or courage,
Or joy,
Patience,
Clarity,
Love.
Whatever word arises,
Trust it.
It is what today needs from you.
Hold it in your heart for a moment.
Let it settle into the body like a seed burying itself down into nutritious soil.
This is your intention for the day.
A quiet compass.
Something to return to if the day gets loud or complicated or a little bit more than you expected.
Take a slow breath in,
Breathe it right into your word or energy,
And breathe out,
Feel it settle into every cell.
You are ready.
You are present,
You are grounded,
And you are intentional.
And that always is enough to begin.
Have a beautiful day,
Beautiful soul.
I truly,
Truly mean that.
Namaste.
