Morning Blessing Gift Of Opposites

Morning Blessing Gifts awaken, stimulate, and deepen meditation and spiritual practice. 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. It begins and ends with a ring of a singing bowl.

Welcome.

Thick,

Gray,

Ancient-looking sea ice clings to the tops of certain rocks,

Like old men's beards lying in the sun at the wrong time of the year,

As if they had been caught sleeping in church.

The low winter sun shines on this spectacle and warms me to astonishment.

Even the powerful opposites,

Ice and sun,

Exist in silence on the wide,

Flat beach.

Let your opposites coexist in these wide moments of silence,

So that nothing disturbs your peace,

Your earth and sky are one.

Feel your body as its solid parts support the soft parts,

And the soft parts hold the solid parts.

Circulate your awareness from your feet on the floor up through your whole physical system,

Admiring and appreciating.

To live life we need the full range of feelings,

Rage and tenderness,

Sorrow and ecstasy,

Despair and hope.

Take this time to allow,

To encourage and to welcome whatever feeling waits in the wings,

Like a talented but shy actress.

The grey rocks on the winter beach remind us of our true nature,

The strength,

The age,

The solid wisdom and the link with the stars.

We are the rocks,

The beach and the stars.

May you today drop your limits and fill in the extremes so that the full range of yourself is available to you.

Your gift today is opposites.
