To begin,
Find a comfortable position for the body.
Allow the eyes to softly close.
Notice the rise of awareness as stillness settles in.
Land in this moment,
Opening the heart and mind to the sensation of simply being.
Allow the words of this meditation to wash over you.
Like water tumbling over the banks of a river.
As we ease into this new day,
Let us move with intention.
Let us tap into trust.
Start to notice the presence of breath as it flows in and out of your body.
It expands the lungs,
Awakening the body with every inhale.
With every exhale,
The body releases excess.
To breathe is to be alive.
Every breath is a connection between your internal world and the expansive external environment.
As we continue to move through this meditation,
Hold onto the breath as your compass.
When you feel far from the breath,
You may have drifted away to a far corner of your mind.
By focusing on the breath,
You will return to the sensation of presence.
Before we enter the familiar routines of our day,
Let us create a space for blessings to enter our lives.
Begin to imagine a soft green light expanding out from all sides of the body.
Everything you have set into motion in recent months is ready to grow.
It asks only to be guided by a steady vision.
Notice what passions arise in this field of green.
It may be ideas that have just begun to flourish,
Or well-developed entities.
These are energetic extensions of your spirit,
Reaching through the world like vines connecting trees in a forest.
When a vine becomes strong enough,
It finds its own trajectory.
The energy you put into the world will continue to loop in new beings,
New expressions expanding along with the flow of the universe.
If you continue to show up with the intention of joyful discovery,
The energy will continue to flourish.
We cannot micromanage our eternal self.
We must trust that it will engage with the most divine outcome.
The energetic realm will always jump ahead of the physical.
When we surrender to trust,
We allow the physical to ride in the wake of energy's flow.
Continue to bathe in the breath.
Every exhale you create an offering,
And every inhale you acknowledge and receive.
With any real growth,
We have to find our foundation before we can meaningfully build.
Keep coming back to the simple aspects of your being,
The ones that will always live alongside you.
Remembering the constant dance of breath,
Tending to the care of your body,
Lovingly maintaining your surroundings.
No matter what occurs in the external sphere,
Your eternal nature remains unchanged.
Take refuge in the observer's seat,
Remaining open to the divine possibilities.
It is from this place of knowing that you can enjoy the ebbs and flows that shape the landscape of this life.
The abundant green light continues to surround you,
Filling you with vibrancy,
Connecting you with energetic matches that exist in all pockets of the universe.
As we move through our day,
Let us remember the presence of this light.
Let us remember our connection to flow.
Let us stay grounded in the rituals of our physical world.
Let us guide our energy with a spirit of joyful curiosity.
And whatever this day has to offer,
Let us practice observation and intentional action.
We'll take one breath together to seal this practice.
Using your right hand to rest on the belly,
And the left hand to rest on the heart.
Inhale,
Filling with presence.
Exhale,
Creating space.
Give yourself well-deserved gratitude for coming here today.
And may the divine always guide your way.
