Morning Blessing Gift Of Courage

Morning Blessing Gifts awaken, stimulate and deepen meditation and spiritual practice. In the tradition of Robert Frost and Wendell Berry, poetic images and personal experiences of New England nature, the birds, animals, woods, and beaches of coastal Maine, awaken listeners to begin their day nurtured and encouraged to be themselves, joined with like-minded souls. The meditations provide a friendly, comforting and accessible way to wake up and affirm the whole self. Each blessing has seven brief paragraphs that offer a welcome to the day, a silent meditation, affirmations of body, heart and soul, a blessing and a gift for each day. Begins and ends with a ring of a singing bowl.

Transcript

After the tangled,

Mysterious and half-remembered world of night dreams,

Here we are in this world to begin again.

Because we cannot really be in one place until we have left the old,

Thank the dream world,

Knowing you can return tonight and arrive in the day world.

Let this day begin now in silence,

As so many events have begun.

Yet,

This is not the silence of anticipation.

This silence lives on its own,

Has its own identity and its own power,

A quality unlike any other.

Allow this silence to live.

Notice now who you are physically as you sit here.

Become conscious of the space your body takes up.

You are form and substance in space,

From your toes to the top of your head.

Our emotions too take up space just as much as they are found conceivably anywhere in our body.

Find your feeling,

Just one to start with,

And give it the life of awareness,

No matter which feeling it is or where in your body you find it.

Underneath all,

There is something so deep,

So powerful,

So constant,

That we forget that it requires time and expression.

This,

Our spirit,

Not only describes who we really are,

But also connects us to the ancient past,

As well as suggests ways to join other spirits in the present.

Leave the old,

These last minutes,

And venture outward into the new,

This very moment.

Find the courage to leave the familiar shore and sail into uncharted waters this day.

Your gift this day is courage.
