Good morning beautiful soul.
Welcome to this new day.
Let's take a few moments to arrive here.
In this present moment just as you are.
There is only you,
Your breath and your body.
Slowly opening up and awakening for this day.
Maybe you are still lying down in your bed,
Just make yourself super comfy or maybe you want to sit down to feel a little bit more awake,
To lengthen the spine,
Relax your shoulders and ground yourself into the surface underneath you.
Giving yourself permission to start this day a little bit more slowly.
You don't have to rush through your day,
Through your morning.
And you don't have to rush into life.
You can just take this moment to prepare,
To open and settle.
Maybe starting with a few gentle stretches,
Stretching your arms over your head,
Lengthening your spine.
Maybe taking some stretches for your neck,
For your shoulders just to create a bit more space in the body,
A bit more space for the blessings of this day and then just start connecting with your breath,
Taking a nice fresh inhale as you're inviting that fresh prana,
That life force energy into your body,
Into your heart A soft exhale just letting that prana flow through you freely.
Welcoming this day with some nice long and open breaths.
Your breath is giving you life.
You have woken up today with another gift.
That simple gift of being here.
Another opportunity to breathe.
To feel.
To experience.
To love.
Another chance to learn more and to grow.
And perhaps in this moment,
You can just whisper to yourself,
Thank you.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
Thank you for this breath.
Thank you,
My body,
For carrying me throughout all these days.
Thank you,
My hands,
For making me feel and touch.
Thank you,
My legs.
For helping me move and taking me so many places.
Thank you,
My heart.
For continuing to beat without me doing anything.
Thank you,
God,
For this life.
For the air that's entering my lungs now.
For the warmth in my body.
For the life that continues to move through me.
Thank you for this moment.
And as you breathe gently here,
Just beginning to notice that gentle movement of your breath Feeling the air entering your nostrils.
Feeling your belly,
Your chest,
Softly expanding.
And then as you exhale feeling the warm air through your mouth as you relax even more.
Noticing that beautiful exchange between you and the life itself.
With every inhale you receive With every exhale you give,
You give your love and your presence back to the world.
Receiving and giving.
Opening.
And releasing.
In the yogic tradition we have that beautiful word for the vital life force that moves through us and connects us with the world around us.
And that's Prana.
Prana,
The life force carried through the breath.
Through the body.
Present in the natural world and the plants and the trees and the sunshine and the wind and experience through the aliveness of our bodies here and now.
You don't need to understand it perfectly,
But just become a little bit curious.
Can you feel that aliveness within you?
Maybe it's through the warmth in your hands Maybe it's through that gentle movement in your belly.
Or the subtle sound of your heartbeat.
Maybe you can experience that prana through that inner awareness that you are here.
You're alive.
You're breathing.
And as you breathe in now.
Imagine yourself opening up to this life force.
Becoming available to life,
To all the blessings that life gives.
Making your breath,
Your inhales like an invitation.
I am open to receiving.
Open to receiving this day.
The energy of love,
Of inspiration and joy.
Open to receiving the beauty that may find you in most unexpected forms.
And then through your exhales just letting go of any need to control,
Letting go of the need to know how this day is going to go exactly.
Knowing that you don't need to have all the answers Letting go of the worry about what's going to happen today.
If you're going to do enough,
Is it going to be too much?
Just relax here.
You don't need to carry that heaviness with you through this day.
Just taking it one step at a time together with your breath.
Welcoming life and grounding into this present moment.
And perhaps just placing one or both of your hands on your heart or wherever it feels comfortable Just feeling the warmth of your hands resting here.
It's like that small gesture of love and kindness towards yourself.
Saying thank you.
May you move through this day with a little bit more softness.
Feeling that pulsation of life within you receiving it fully,
Opening,
Truly embody that peace that lives within.
May you move through this day with a little bit more softness.
May you notice the moments that nourish you and bring you joy.
May you remain open to the beauty that exists alongside the ordinary.
May you remember to breathe when life feels overwhelming And may you offer yourself the same love,
Patience and kindness that you are sharing with others,
That you are offering to people you meet on your path.
Take one more gentle breath in.
And a full breath out.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
Keep carrying those words of gratitude with you throughout today,
Throughout the challenges,
Throughout the beautiful times and beautiful moments.
May you move from the space of gratitude and openness to what life brings you.
Have the most beautiful day.
