Welcome to this sacred morning ritual where we will utilize incense to act as a ceremonial offering and to create the space to bring us into a state of deep reverence,
Self-connection and intention as we begin our day.
I find that lighting incense and smelling the beautiful aromas instantly drops me into the remembrance of my divinity and helps bring me back into alignment with my heart and highest intentions.
So I invite you to join me in this ritual this morning.
I welcome you to place your incense stick in your incense holder and take a moment to place your hands in prayer position and bow your head,
Giving thanks to this incense,
To this moment and to yourself.
Intentionally light your incense now,
Watching the flame as it fades and the smoke as it begins to swirl and rise and take a seat wherever is most comfortable for you and close your eyes.
Enjoy this moment in stillness this morning.
Allow the fragrant incense to reach you and allow it to give you a sense of warmth,
Grounding and clarity.
Feel your breathing getting slower and deeper as you relax into this beautiful sacred space that has been created within and around you.
Feeling more centered and in alignment with who you truly are.
I invite you to set an intention for the day.
This may be a state of being you want to embody.
It may be a task or project you want to focus on and complete.
It may be how you would like to interact with your children or co-workers.
It may be to live more in the present moment and so much more.
Whatever it is,
Bring your full conscious awareness to your intention for today.
You may like to say a statement in your mind or speak it out loud to really affirm it.
Affirm what your intention is for today and allow yourself to feel into the energy of it as the incense gently lifts you to meet this desire.
Feeling so grounded and clear yet illuminated with the potentials and possibilities of this beautiful day.
And when you are ready to end this practice I invite you to take three deep breaths.
Welcoming in this new day.
Feeling so anchored within yourself.
And when you are ready you can open your eyes and move forward infused with the blessings of this sacred smoke.
