Morning Blessing Gift Of Skin

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. The track begins and ends with a ring of a singing bowl.

Transcript

Lots of skin leaves the bed and encounters the fresh air of the new day.

Our physical boundaries sense and feel how to use the world around us.

Open up your pores to the day.

Take in the silence of the world,

All the spaces between tumult and noise.

Breathe these quiet moments until they are yours,

Your very being.

With this silence comes the potential of the unknown.

With every breath,

Allow the world to bring fresh new energy.

Let the air and energy enter and circulate throughout your whole physical system.

Down to your toes,

Then back up through your legs,

Waist,

Chest and head,

And out your arms to your fingertips.

A feeling comes to the surface of your being,

Like an air bubble popping its fragile envelope and releasing its tiny air into the small sky above the pond.

As much as we own our feelings,

And sometimes feel as if they own us,

Our feelings really belong to the world.

So,

Too,

Spirit,

Especially spirit,

Crosses thresholds to link us with the rest of the universe,

Even with the past and the future.

And when we understand this and accept this,

Spirit links us to ourselves.

May you encounter this day with all of your surfaces.

Your gift today is skin.
