Welcome.
Namaskaram.
Thank you for sharing this space with me,
This space of transformation.
My name is Elliot and I will be your guide for this meditation.
I am honored to be here with you today as part of your inner journey.
I celebrate each and every one of you for allowing me to guide you towards your greater self.
This recording is part of the Rise and Shine series and it is a privilege to be here with you on Inside Timer.
In a state of offering,
A human being is most receptive and accessible to transformation.
Go with an intention of offering and become silent and still in the warmth of the great rising sun.
Please find a quiet place for this meditation.
Do what you can to prepare an atmosphere of grace and openness.
If you can,
It would be highly beneficial to be in the morning rays of the sun for this meditation.
Be seated in your meditative posture and give yourself permission to be comfortable.
Lightly activate your abdomen and back to maintain a relaxed upright spine.
Place your hands upon your knees facing upward or in a mudra of your choosing.
With the face slightly upturned,
Allow your focus to rest between the eyebrows.
If you wish,
Gently close the eyes and mouth leaving a small space between the teeth and lips.
Let's start by deeply breathing in through the nose and out through the nose.
Rest your attention on the breathing cycle.
It will be your anchor throughout this meditation.
Breathe in relaxation.
Breathe out tension.
Breathe in love.
Breathe out courage.
Breathe in relaxation.
Breathe out tension.
Breathe in love.
There is a natural source of beauty in this world.
It does not need to be recognized by anybody to be reality.
It is simply there woven into the fabric of the natural world.
This natural beauty is an integral part of being alive.
From the chaos comes order and from this order blossoms life.
Our intrinsic wakefulness expresses itself as dignity.
One cannot access their dignity without surrendering to the great rising sun.
Every morning we can consciously align our energies with the radiance of our celestial source of light which contrasts the immense darkness,
The unknown,
The void.
This practice will provide you warmth,
Hope,
And inner knowing throughout your day.
I'd like you now to envision the great rising sun directly in front of you.
As you breathe in,
Feel the brilliance entering your body.
Envisioning the great rising sun directly in front of you.
As you breathe in,

What does your body feel like as you breathe in the rising sun energy?
Go deeper into this feeling and be aware of the energy that the beautiful sun gives off which animates your body.
The sun is responsible for providing us with a habitable planet.
It is the giver of life.
I'd like you now to envision the great rising sun moving directly above you.
As you breathe out,
Feel the nourishing light bathe you from top down.
What does your body feel like as you breathe out,
As you are bathed in the solar energy?
Envision the great rising sun moving directly above you.
As you breathe out,
Feel the nourishing light bathe you from top down.
Go deeper into this feeling and be aware of the solar energy which charges your body.
The sun is responsible for providing us with solar heat in the body.
It is a daily reminder that we are renewed each and every morning.
Now breathe in,
Feel the brilliance entering your body.
Breathe out,
Feel the nourishing light bathe you from head to toe.

In working with ourselves,
Cleaning up begins by aligning with truth.
Solar energy assists us in shedding any hesitation about aligning with the light of this world.
We can literally feel the great rising sun connecting us to our inner truth.
Accepting that the process of spiritual growth involves unpleasant moments allows us to remain grounded during the unfolding of this truth.
The great rising sun cleanses us and shows us that we can be honest with ourselves and return to the primordial ground of this world's intrinsic beauty from which we sprung forth.
Our intrinsic wakefulness expresses itself as dignity.
One cannot access their dignity without surrendering to the great rising sun.
Breathe in,
Feel the nourishing light bathe you from head to toe.
Breathe in,
Feel the nourishing light bathe you from head to toe.
In bringing this meditation to a close,
Come back to a full awareness of the body.
Recognizing that awareness contains everything we are.
Take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in and breathe out through the mouth with a sigh.
Ahhhhhhhh.
Gently take your own time and when you're ready,
You can gently,
Slowly open your eyes.
Ahhhhhhhh.
Thank you for sharing your meditation practice with me.
Have a beautiful day.
Namaste.
