Take a deep breath in.
Take a deep breath out through the mouth.
Place one palm inside the other.
Sit comfortably and lean back.
Bring your awareness to your scalp and let your scalp release.
Bring awareness to your eyes and your eyelids.
Let them soften.
Release the space between your eyebrows.
Feel the jaw.
Feel the cheeks.
Nothing to do,
Nothing to express,
Nothing to produce right now.
Notice the soft skin on the face and the throat and the shoulders.
Release the chest.
Release the belly.
Feel the sit bones rounded.
Feel the feet rooted.
And now feel into the warmth of your body.
And notice how much energy is running through your body.
Notice that energy in your palms,
In your hands.
Notice that energy in your arms.
Feel the energy of the beating heart.
So much potential energy for action,
Energy in motion.
There is so much you can do with this body.
And in stillness,
You build that energy.
And through compassion,
You build that energy.
So if you like,
Put the hands on the heart and let the hands connect to the beating heart and to the warmth of the chest.
From the heart,
Set the intention,
May I be happy.
May I be truly,
Deeply happy.
May I listen to this heart and its higher values.
May I let myself enjoy.
May I guide myself toward growth.
Setting the intention,
May I be healthy and strong.
And also setting the intention,
May my inner voice be supportive to me in all that I want to do.
May I be on my own side.
May I be on my own side unconditionally.
May everything I do bring me energy.
May I be so self-compassionate that my thoughts bring me energy.
And as you feel into this beating heart,
Acknowledging that you are surrounded by beating hearts in your community,
Friends,
Family,
People you don't know.
Set the intention,
May this heart connect to other hearts.
May my words,
My thoughts,
And my actions contribute to the flourishing,
The happiness of others.
And notice that tremendous inner resource you have.
Your actions,
Your words,
Contribute to the lives of others in ways you will never even know,
Is supportive to others in ways you cannot fully know.
Ending this meditation with a deep commitment to joy,
To your own levels of energy.
And to your own compassionate heart.
Compassionate to yourself and to every other individual on this earth.
And now release the hands.
And take a deep full breath in.
Take a deep breath out through the mouth.
Send gratitude to the mind for meditating today.
Send gratitude to the body for all this reserve of energy and everything it allows you to do.
And sending gratitude to the people in your life you get to see today.
Opening your eyes and taking this attitude with you.
