Good morning,
Beautiful soul.
Before the day begins to unfold,
Give yourself this gentle pause,
A moment to awaken not just your body,
But your awareness.
Find a comfortable seat and let your spine lengthen as if you're greeting the morning light.
Relax your shoulders,
Soften your jaw.
Let your hands rest easily in your lap.
Take a slow nourishing breath in through your nose and feel it awaken your chest,
Your ribs,
Your belly and exhale softly through your mouth,
Releasing the weight of sleep or anything you no longer need.
Once more,
Breathe in freshness,
Energy and possibility and exhale what's ready to be released.
Now,
Let your breath return to its natural rhythm,
Calm,
Steady,
Effortless.
With each breath,
Feel yourself arriving fully here,
In this new day that's quietly waiting to meet you.
Bring your awareness to your body,
This living,
Breathing home that carries you through each day.
Feel the weight of your sit bones grounding you into the surface beneath you.
Notice the support beneath your feet.
Let your awareness travel upward through your body,
Your legs,
Your hips,
Belly,
Chest,
All gently expanding and contracting with the rhythm of your breath.
Sense your shoulders softening,
Your arms heavy and relaxed,
Your hands at ease.
Feel the gentle movement of your body as you breathe.
The quiet rise and fall,
The life within you moving effortlessly.
Greet each part of yourself with kindness.
Good morning,
Heart.
Good morning,
Breath.
Good morning,
Awareness.
Let your breath be your anchor,
Steady and kind,
Guiding you through this day with ease.
Now,
Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a calm lake at dawn.
The air is cool and still,
Carrying the scent of morning.
A soft mist floats above the water and the world feels hushed,
Peaceful,
Unhurried.
In the distance,
The first light of day begins to stretch across the horizon,
A soft glow of gold and rose colouring the sky.
You watch as this light slowly brightens,
Touching the surface of the water,
Illuminating the trees and gently reaching you.
Feel that light land on your skin,
Warm,
Alive,
Awakening.
Let it fill you from head to toe,
Infusing you with calm clarity and quiet strength.
With each breath,
Imagine this light moving through you,
Clearing your thoughts,
Softening your heart,
Brightening your mind.
You feel balanced and focused,
Ready to meet whatever comes your way.
The still water reflects your own stillness.
The rising sun mirrors your own awakening.
Take a few deep breaths,
Letting this clarity expand within you.
You are calm.
You are centred.
You are ready to begin.
Now silently repeat these affirmations,
Letting each one settle deep into your awareness.
I begin this day with calm and clarity.
I am grounded,
Focused and open to possibility.
My actions flow from presence and purpose.
I trust myself to meet this day with ease.
I carry a peaceful strength within me,
Wherever I go.
Feel these words echo softly in your heart,
Setting the tone for your morning.
Light,
Steady and full of quiet confidence.
Carry this calm clarity with you as you move through your day,
Allowing your words,
Choices and actions to flow from the still,
Grounded place within.
Let your presence be a quiet anchor amidst whatever the day may bring.
And remember,
Even if challenges arise today,
You can meet them with steadiness and grace.
You've got this.
As you step into the day ahead,
Bring this sense of calm clarity with you.
Let it shape the way you listen,
Speak and move.
Steady,
Open and at ease.
Meeting each moment with mindful awareness and quiet confidence.
Let your inner stillness shine gently through everything you do today.
Touching the world around you with quiet warmth and light.
