Transcript

Good morning and welcome to this morning meditation that will help you harness a sense of inner peace that you may carry with you throughout your day.

Whether you have woken up feeling calm and collected or anxious and unsettled,

This meditation will draw you deeper into the stillness of your core being.

For this meditation,

You may choose any position that is most comfortable for you.

A seated posture will harness an increase in energy for the day.

However,

If this does not feel accessible to you in this moment,

Allow yourself to remain in a straight,

Lying down position,

Resting on your back.

Take a few moments now to explore which posture will best serve you for this meditation,

Making any adjustments necessary.

Once you are settled,

I invite you to begin by simply taking a few moments of mindful breaths.

Gently breathe in from the nose and a long,

Cleansing,

Full breath out of the mouth.

Two more times.

In and out.

Now gently come back to your natural breathing.

Finding that inner stillness,

Mental chatter,

Quieting.

If you're having distracting thoughts enter your mind,

Blow it away.

Feel them blown into the air,

Breathing deeply and slowly.

Relax your face,

Your forehead,

The middle point between your eyebrows,

Your mouth and smile.

Be present with yourself at this moment.

Grateful to have eyes to see,

Ears to hear,

Hands to touch and heart to feel.

Breathe deep into this sense of gratitude,

Heart-radiating appreciation.

Breathe into the appreciation of your fully operational human body,

The love you feel for yourself,

Which is the unconditional love you feel for others.

Breathe into the willingness or finding your inner peace.

Exhale through your mouth,

Smile,

Feeling relaxed and calm.

Let go of all the tension which resides in your body,

Blow it away.

Observe the natural rhythm and flow of your breath.

Making note of how this life force nourishes and sustains you through both waking and sleeping life.

Before we move forward with our daily activities,

Grounding ourselves in this space and time helps us to shed any feelings of anxiety,

Restlessness or fear that may be lingering in my body and mind.

So take a few minutes now to simply observe the space you're occupying and the breath as it nourishes every cell of your body.

Inhale,

Allowing the stomach to expand completely.

Exhale,

Allowing the chest to soften and all muscles of the body to be released.

If you have woken up this morning with any feelings of happiness or worry or uneasiness about what this day will bring,

See if you can softly detach mentally from the sensation by noticing its presence in the body.

Detaching doesn't require us to suppress or deny.

Instead,

It is a way of shifting our relationship to whatever we are experiencing.

So,

Beginning at the toes,

Gently scan your way through each and every muscle group.

Witnessing if there is any tightness,

Any heaviness or any tingling that may be present there and perhaps associated with your mental or emotional state.

If you feel calm and at peace already,

Continue to witness this harmonious state you are in,

Focusing on the steady rhythm of your breath as you enjoy these moments of peace and stillness ahead of the day's activities.

Making your way up towards the head,

Tune into the muscles around the eyes,

Eyebrows and forehead,

Seeing if you can soften this area even further.

And as you do so,

Notice if the breath or the rest of the body changes in any way.

Notice if there is a shift in the state of your mind.

Hold your entire body in your conscious awareness now,

Breathing into each cell of the body as you rest here with nothing to do yet and nothing to accomplish.

Sink into the pure bliss of simply being here.

From this place of lightness and presence,

Tune back into the heart as you check in with what your most authentic self yearns to embody today.

It might be a continual sense of inner peace,

It might be confidence,

It might be compassion,

Or it might be radiance.

Whatever it is,

Ensure that it is aligned with the peaceful presence you are moving into right now.

And then take a few moments to silently whisper your intention to yourself,

Frame it in the present tense rather than the future tense.

Now take just three more deep breaths,

Slow and steady.

As you enjoy these last few moments of your mindful meditation before stepping peacefully into the day ahead of you.

Gently draw your hands to your heart,

Placing them one on top of the other over the center of your chest.

As you slightly repeat the words,

Peace begins within.

Let those words sink into your heart center.

When you are ready,

Gently flutter your eyes open and bring gentle movement into your body.

As you move into this unfolding day,

Remember this peaceful place you have cultivated within you.

In any moment,

You can return to this place through mindful awareness of the breath and through the stillness that lives within you.

Namaste.
