Welcome to your morning.
In this meditation,
We're going to ease ourselves gently into our morning and guide ourselves into our day from a centered,
Balanced,
And sacred space.
For most of us,
We wake up and we need to hit the ground running,
Whether it is our children,
A job,
Or whatever life requirements.
How we spend our mornings has a profound effect on how the rest of the day unfolds.
So when you're ready,
Find yourself in a comfortable position.
If you're still in bed,
Perfect.
Just make sure your spine is upright,
Your heart is open,
And your body is very comfortable.
And when you're ready,
Close your eyes.
Relax your body completely.
Relax the face and the jaw and feel the forehead release.
Feel your shoulders drop naturally as you exhale.
Relax your belly and your hips and your legs.
Let your whole body drop deeper into whatever surface is supporting you.
And start to breathe deeper inhales.
Take these breaths where the inhale is full,
Filling your whole vessel.
And as you exhale,
It's a complete and deep exhale that you empty the whole body of breath.
Inhaling,
Full inhales,
Feeling the whole body open,
Expand to receive your inhale.
And then as you exhale,
Empty your body of breath.
Continue like this,
Waking up the body,
Waking up your breath,
Stretching the lungs with your breath.
And as you exhale,
Clearing out all that needs to shift out of the body after the tamasic,
Heavy energy that happens in sleep.
Full inhales as if you're clearing the cobwebs,
As if you're clearing the fog with your inhale and your deep and complete exhales.
Take three more of these breaths,
Noticing how your breath becomes longer,
Deeper,
Smoother with every round.
Once you've completed your rounds,
Set your breath free.
Stay connected to your breath.
Stay with the breath.
Just allow it to be as it wants to,
Noticing your inhales and exhales completely settling into the rhythm of your breath,
Your free,
Organic breath.
The breath is our connection to the divine.
It is a precious gift that allows us to experience this journey in a human body.
It is like a lifetime friend that is always there,
Guiding,
Supporting,
Loving.
And as you stay with your breath,
Just following the rhythm of your free,
Natural breath,
Keep your awareness rested in your heart center,
In your mystic heart,
Right in the center of your chest behind the breastbone.
Deep in the core of the heart lies this sacred energy that is there for us always.
Allow your breath to guide you and connect you to this divine and sacred energy within.
The mystics and the ancient yogis all guide us into this area in our body,
Into this energy within to connect,
To experience our divinity,
Our sacred.
Continue to follow your breath and see if you can start to become sensitive to that frequency within the heart.
If it's faint,
No matter,
Just keep breathing.
Stay connected to your breath.
Keep your attention and awareness resting in the heart and allow your breath to guide you deeper and deeper into the cave of your heart.
And you will know as you start to feel the potency of this energy,
It's sweet,
Welcoming,
Full of potential,
Supportive,
Powerful.
There's nothing like it when you connect to it.
The more you relax your body,
The easier it is for you to connect and stay connected to your breath and to experience and become in tune and sensitive to the sacred within you.
And from that space,
Consider your day,
The people that you might meet,
The actions that you have to take.
We don't know what the day is going to unfold.
We don't know for certain what is going to happen.
But right here at the start of your day,
Consider all aspects of your day that you want to charge with your heart.
Whatever your purpose is,
It needs heart.
See the people that you will meet and send that energy out from your heart to theirs.
Inhale and bring this energy into your face.
This is the face that you are going to greet your day from.
This is the face that you will face your day from.
Bring this energy into your eyes that are going to navigate for you today and help you see,
Navigate your world.
Look at screens,
Read messages.
Gaze into your loved ones.
Bring this energy into your arms,
Into your hands that are going to type messages for you.
Going to hug your loved ones,
Going to create,
To build.
Bring this energy into your legs and your feet that are going to carry you,
Help you trod,
Help you walk your path and take steps in your journey.
Bring this energy into your heart,
To your lungs,
Into your vital organs in your belly and low back that are going to do their jobs for you today to keep you healthy.
Take a few more moments just allowing this sacred energy to permeate your whole shape.
From the top of your crown down through the whole body to the tips of the toes and the tips of the fingers.
See the shape of your body like a vessel filled with the sacred energy right from your heart center.
To the edges of your shape and beyond,
Your whole vessel illuminated,
Filled with this beautiful sacred energy from your heart.
And from that space bring your hands together,
Connect to your heart,
Allow the thumbs to connect to your heart center and bow to your own heart and when you're ready release your hands,
Open your eyes,
Good morning and have a beautiful and sacred day.
Namaste.
