Morning Blessing Gift Of Shadow

Morning Blessing Gifts awaken, stimulate, and deepen meditation and spiritual practice. These 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.

Transcript

The welcoming sun carves the slanted snow-covered rooftop into two halves,

One half bright,

Sparkling with tiny,

Intense crystals of light,

The other half deep,

Mysterious,

With grey shadow still of the night.

Both halves are necessary to make a morning roof.

Still yourself so that you can notice the movement of the sun's shadow across the earth,

Just as silence can move with the force of the planets across your being right now,

Bringing quiet to you.

If you were sitting in the sun at this moment,

Your body would cast a certain unique shadow,

Only yours.

Offer your physical being the appreciation of uniqueness,

Inside and out.

No judgments,

Only love that you are who you are.

And for every feeling there is its opposite,

Its dark or light twin.

Avoid the mixing or diluting of feelings.

They stand out in contrast and gain strength from each other.

Each deserves its own time,

Its own expression.

The wider the range of emotional expression,

The more room there is for spirit.

Let your spirit shine through both light and shadow.

Enjoy being who you are and letting your essence show.

May you find both light and dark today.

Your gift today is shadow.

I’ve never really considered that we all have a unique physical shadow which is only ours - as is our inner, our spiritual shadow and our light… Thank you for sharing! 😊🙏🏻

Beautiful 🖤🤍This one really spoke to me this morning 🙂
Jacob I wanted to mention that the way you so often weave in a mention of expressing feelings, and of this being not only legitimate but positive and important, has been so affirming and helpful for my self-acceptance and growth. Blessings to you 🙏☮️🌿✨

I love these observations, they're very much on my wavelength
