Welcome.
Today is a new day.
Close your eyes.
Relax in your seat.
Relax lying down.
Whatever you do,
Try and give this moment,
This one moment,
Your full attention and relaxation.
Today is not a given.
This morning you opened your eyes to possibility,
To endless opportunity.
You are here.
You are now.
Repeat quietly.
I am here.
I am now.
I am opportunity.
And breathe deep into this moment.
Exhale any stale,
Stagnant air lingering in your lungs.
Let it go.
Inhale the new day.
This day of light,
Of love,
And of gratitude.
Let it wash over you.
Let it tingle your senses.
Now exhale and let go of anything keeping you.
Just let it go.
You don't need to name anything.
Just notice the lightness.
Maybe notice your shoulders just a little heavier.
Relax maybe an inch or two.
Notice the tops of your thighs get heavier.
Settle into your seat.
Settle into your being.
Settle into your body.
And just notice.
You find yourself getting distracted.
Come back to your breath.
Your breath.
Your loving breath.
Each time you notice a tug in a distracting direction,
Be here and be now in this beautiful,
Bountiful new day.
Settle in.
I am here.
I am now.
Welcome.
Today is a new day.
