Good morning in this lovely space.
Today I've got a morning meditation for you to help you connect to the energy of gratitude and peace.
And really open up for the day with this beautiful,
Warm and healing energy.
So just find yourself a comfortable position.
My dog is joining us here.
Sitting down,
Maybe it's on your bed or on your yoga mat or even on the grass if you can.
I hope you can feel this energy from the earth.
I'm just sharing this practice from the background of our little house in the mountains.
We have lots of forests around and beautiful,
Beautiful space to really connect with the earth.
So let's just start with one full breath in as we stretch the arms up to the sky.
Then exhale,
Hands down to your heart,
Bowing down to the earth,
To God,
With gratitude for another day of life.
Rolling the shoulders back a few times.
Just starting to really connect with your breath,
Exhaling for longer and inhaling for deeper nice long and open breaths,
Really feeling that prana,
Feeling that life force within you And even if you are not outside or maybe you can't see the sunshine through your window,
Just imagine a gentle and warm light of the sun kissing your face.
Your shoulders.
Your heart.
And evenly relax.
You are held here.
What a blessing it is to be alive.
To wake up.
To be given another day.
Keeping your palms relaxed on your thighs or maybe facing up to the sky to open to receive.
You can close your eyes as well to really connect more inwards.
The next five deep breaths just feel the air coming from the earth and then all the way up alongside your spine filling you in.
Feeling you of that sunshine energy.
And on the exhale,
This warm sunshine energy is just spreading through you.
All the way down alongside your spine and back down to the air.
Inhale as you lengthen and expand.
Exhale as you are grounding back down.
Just three more like this.
Lovely,
You are filling yourself with that prana,
With that vital energy,
With health and stability.
Taking a moment now to express gratitude for your body.
For the ability to move.
For the ability to feel.
To experience this life through your body,
Through your senses.
Through the touch.
Smell.
Sing.
And hearing.
What a blessing it is.
That your soul chose this body.
Here and now,
I am so grateful for my beautiful body,
My sacred home,
Even taking a moment to feel the gratitude for your soul,
For that awareness within.
This awareness that you are cultivating each day by coming to these practices by living more in the present moment and really noticing what's around you,
What's within you.
Gratitude for that special connection with your soul.
With divine.
With something more than only the physical,
The material.
Feeling that divine energy within.
You are a part of it.
You are part of the sacred light.
And maybe after the next breath you can keep your eyes closed or slightly open them just look around you look at any natural parts of life maybe it's some plants or flowers Maybe it's the trees that you can see from the window.
Maybe it's the sky that you can see.
Just gratitude for the life that's surrounding you.
The natural life created by God.
But also the life that you are creating.
Maybe it's your house,
Your bed,
Some decorations and a house.
You are the creator yourself.
And you are creating.
To your fault.
Your word.
And your actions.
So open now to that gratitude for the life that's surrounding you.
What a blessing it is to experience it all.
And for the next five breaths,
Just integrate all that gratitude together.
For your body.
For your soul,
Your awareness.
For that divine energy within.
For the life that's surrounding you.
And the life that you are creating.
Feel that warm solar energy within.
Remember that life is such a precious gift and never take it for granted.
The more grateful you are,
The more you simply appreciate and just say thank you.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
May this be your mantra for today and every day as you wake up.
It's so simple and yet so powerful.
Simply waking up saying thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
And you will be guided from the space of loss.
From the space of that openness.
Receiving the abundance of life.
Let's finish the cabaret with one deep stretch,
Arms over your head.
Interlace palms together and press up to the sky as you really lengthen the spine.
And then exhale bring hands to heart let's create some warmth just rub your palms together Feel that warm energy.
And uncover your face.
Feeling that sense of touch giving yourself some love.
Let's gently massage your forehead,
Your temples,
Your cheeks.
Then inhale,
Spread the arms wide open,
Open your heart,
Just pause here for a moment.
And exhale,
Hands back to your heart.
Namaste.
Thank you so much for this practice.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
From this beautiful space.
I'm wishing you a lovely day full of love,
Peace and blessings.
Thank you.
