5-Minute Morning Gratitude Practice

Hello,

Good morning.

Welcome to this short and sweet gratitude practice.

As you arrive here in your body allowing what is here and present to be here.

No need to change or fix.

Giving yourself permission to arrive,

To settle in,

To be in any shape that feels most easeful and supportive.

You might nestle down through your shoulders.

Create some rocking,

Swaying,

Wave-like motions through your torso,

Maybe your head and your neck.

Letting these movements and any sensations you are creating in your body,

Let them remind you that you are here,

Right now,

About to begin a day that you have never experienced before.

Bringing to mind something that you feel grateful for.

It could be a quality within yourself,

Your willingness to practice,

To explore yourself,

To meet this version of yourself.

It could be a person,

A place,

A pet,

Maybe one of your senses that allows you to feel and experience this one precious life.

And what might it be like to offer a sense of gratitude to your physical body,

This three-dimensional being,

This form that carries you through each moment,

Each moment of your life.

Perhaps you could offer some gratitude for the beauty and nourishment of your breath,

And how your body knows just how to breathe,

How it nourishes,

Massages all of the cells of your body,

Without even being asked.

As you begin to move through a new day,

Can you carry this sense of wonder,

Of reverence,

Of this deep appreciation for the ability to feel and experience this day that you have never met before?

I am wishing you a spacious,

Beautiful day ahead.

Take good,

Good care.
