Good morning and welcome to your morning meditation.
Today I will be guiding you through a meditation to help you rise and shine and to be ready for your day ahead.
So getting comfortable in a seated position either with your legs crossed or feet flat on the ground.
Allowing your spine to become nice and straight.
Having your hands gently rest in your lap.
Palms facing up to receive and welcome in this new day ahead.
Gently closing down your eyes and allow yourself to arrive in your body in this moment.
Bringing your awareness to the rise and fall of your breath.
Noticing any sensations that come on the inhale and the exhale.
Feeling the cool air coming into your nostrils filling up your lungs all the way to the top.
And then exhaling that warm air out through your mouth.
Noticing any stiffness from your night and your sleep.
Awakening to this new fresh day ahead.
Allowing the energy in your breath to move freely up and down your spine.
Feeling each vertebrae come alive with your inhale.
Feel yourself ground down into your seat on your exhale.
Following your breath for a few moments.
Inhaling cool fresh air.
New energy into your day.
Exhaling any tension or worries.
Find yourself walking through a valley right before the sunrise.
Breathing in this fresh clean air and letting your hands gently graze the tall grass.
As you walk through this valley taking in your surroundings and the sounds of nature.
You notice a large oak tree in the distance.
You begin to walk closer to the tree.
Realizing its size and its beauty.
You decide to take a nice comfortable seat at the base of the tree.
Allowing the support of the earth.
Allowing yourself to be supported by the tree.
Feeling completely at ease.
Letting your heart fill up with peace and love.
You notice in the distance the sky beginning to turn.
A beautiful ray of yellow and orange and red.
Deciding to stay in your comfortable seat for the spectacular event.
Feeling like you are the only one witnessing this beautiful sunrise.
As the first few rays begin to peak over the distance.
You feel a sense of warmth and support and love.
Letting these first rays of sunshine gently graze your face.
Warming your skin.
Feeling like a hug from a loved one.
Letting in this warmth and love into your heart and your entire body.
Receiving this love.
Allowing yourself to be open to receiving.
Know where you need to be.
Nothing you need to do.
As you let the suns rays envelop your body.
Noticing any sensations that arise.
Maybe you notice a tingling in your hands or your toes.
Breathing in this warmth and this love for a new day ahead.
Repeating to yourself,
I am open to receive.
I am open to receive.
As the sun continues to rise,
You feel that you are witnessing one of the most spectacular events on earth.
A new beginning.
Watching the sun illuminate the sky with the most beautiful vibrant colors.
What do you see?
Continuing to allow the rays of the sun to warm your skin.
Feel the light trickle down your head.
All the way to your heart.
Feeling your entire body filled with warmth and love.
Realizing that the sun continues to give its light each and every day.
With a love as powerful as the sun,
It lights up the entire sky.
You as well are this love.
You are this light.
Knowing that you can spread your light each and every day.
Allowing your heart to be open to receive this love and this light from others.
Knowing that you are worthy and deserving.
When we give our light and our love,
We too receive this light and this love.
Taking a nice deep breath into your entire body.
Filling up all corners of your body with this new energy and vibrance.
Taking a few deep breaths into your heart space.
Filling up your day with this love and this light.
And allowing it to guide you through your day today.
Taking your hands together,
Rubbing your palms to create some heat.
And then placing your hands on your heart.
Sealing in your practice.
Sealing in this love and this light.
Bringing this feeling with you throughout your day today.
Staying here as long as you need.
Have a wonderful,
Joyful,
Light-filled day.
Namaste.
Namaste.
