Hello and welcome to this morning meditation to prime you for a beautiful day ahead.
I invite you to view this practice as a powerful way to decide and take action on how you wish to feel as you navigate each day.
Empowering yourself through daily priming that directs your thoughts,
Your focus and your actions towards those of gratitude,
Confidence and vitality.
Let's begin.
Find a comfortable seated position grounding down through the sit bones as you lift the crown of your head to elongate the spine as though you are the connection between earth and sky.
Closing your eyes and taking a deep nourishing breath down into the belly allowing the exhale to leave your body in a sigh.
Feeling this a few times now.
And then finding a natural rhythm between the inhale and the exhale as you begin to draw your attention to the center of your being.
Placing one hand on your chest and the other on your belly,
Feel the rise and fall of each breath as it delivers that nourishing oxygen to the body,
That life sustaining resource.
Feel the subtle power of your heartbeat hidden away within your chest,
That energy pulsing through every cell,
Every atom in your body.
Feel that energy pulsing within you and radiating out from your chest.
Visualize that power,
That energy as a light taking form within your heart and then feel that light being pumped throughout your entire body.
Feel the vitality this light delivers.
Taking a moment to use the spotlight that is your attention to honor all that your body does and continues to do for you each day.
Infusing your light with a vibration of gratitude and sending it all the way down to the tips of your sweet toes.
Taking this moment to appreciate your feet and all that they do for you each day,
All the places they've taken you,
The things they've carried you through.
Drawing that appreciation up through your legs now,
Noticing and appreciating the ankles,
The knees,
The hips for the mobility and the movement they provide.
Each breath bringing the healing and vitality that is naturally gifted with each grateful thought,
Each grateful moment.
Moving your focus up into your back,
Your belly and all those organs working together within your body without even a single conscious thought from you.
Continuing to draw your appreciation up into your chest,
Your shoulders,
Down the arms and into each one of your perfect fingers.
Pause and really honor how much your hands do for you each day,
Measure of independence they provide,
The creative expression they facilitate,
The connection and care they have been a part of delivering.
Bringing that light of gratitude up into your throat as you feel appreciation for the voice you have been given,
The gentleness and the power you can cultivate with it.
Honor each of the senses that allow you to interact and engage with the world around you,
The blessing it is to have sight in a vibrant world of shape and color,
To hear the sounds of life unfolding in each day,
To taste the flavors that light up your taste buds,
The ability to distinguish between the smell of a rose and that of a sunflower.
For the priceless gift of touch that allows for connection and comfort.
Each of these senses helping to guide us,
To inform us and allow for the expansion of our own being in this life we've been given.
Providing the ability to develop preferences and take part in things that bring us a sense of joy,
Of pleasure,
Of fulfillment.
Taking a moment to acknowledge and appreciate that big beautiful brain of yours that has helped you survive and gives you the opportunity to thrive throughout each day of this journey that is your life.
Recall and honor the millennia of ancestors that had to survive before you so that you could be here now in this body,
In this life,
In this very moment.
Feel your body radiating with light now with that energy of gratitude and vitality.
Taking a deep breath down into the belly and imagining this light moving throughout your body.
Cleansing any stale or stagnant energy.
Healing your thoughts,
Your emotions,
Your fears.
Seeing softness,
Bringing ease.
It's time now to gift yourself with a moment from your life that you can feel really grateful for.
Begin to recall it,
Relive it right here,
Right now.
Feel the beauty of it,
The joy,
The gratitude.
Think of that moment now,
Little or big moment,
Anything you can feel truly grateful for.
It could have been years ago,
Weeks ago or today.
Step into that moment and feel how you felt.
See what you saw then now.
Hear what you heard then now.
That's it.
Step into your body as if you were there.
Feel what you were feeling.
Fill up with the gratitude of that moment.
Breathe the way you breathe when it feels so good.
Maybe you even have an inner smile that you allow to show up on your face right now.
Make it all in and feel so grateful right now.
Give yourself that gift.
Perfect.
Enjoy it.
Feel it.
Experience it like it's happening right now.
Feeling so grateful for the blessing of that moment,
The beauty of it.
That's it.
Breathe and fill up with the gratitude.
Enjoy it.
Revel in it.
Honor it with appreciation and love.
That's right.
Perfect.
Now,
Imagine as you breathe,
You were taking that white light,
That energy of gratitude and taking it down through the top of your head.
As it comes down through your brain,
It cleanses,
It washes it,
It heals your mind,
Your body,
Your emotions,
Heals your relationships,
Your life.
It comes down through your chest,
Your stomach,
Your legs,
And down into the earth and then back up again,
Releasing it with each exhale.
Letting that energy,
That light in with each new inhale,
Allowing that healing light to come back down into the body through the top of your head,
Cleansing,
Moving all the way through your body,
Down into the center of this beautiful planet and back up again.
Having this light filling you up,
Making the best parts of you stronger,
More alive,
More loving,
Bringing more joy,
More gratitude,
More connection,
Bringing that light back up through your body and exhaling with a sigh,
Healing,
Strengthening the best parts of you,
Your kindness,
Your courage,
Your passion,
Your love.
Breathing in another full body breath like this,
Taking it all the way down into the earth and back up again.
Enjoy it,
Feel it,
See it strengthening the best parts of you.
Yes,
That's it.
Now bring that energy down into your heart and this time we're going to send it out like a circle,
Pouring it out into those we love most and feeling them healing,
Sending it out to them,
Healing their minds,
Their bodies,
Their emotions,
Their fears,
Their struggles,
Angers,
All being healed.
The best parts of them being strengthened,
Their love,
Their courage,
Their compassion.
You see the light fill them up,
You see a smile on their face or a glimmer in their eye,
You feel their joy,
Their hope,
Their passion.
Allow that circle to expand now with another breath,
Bringing that light back down through you and into your heart,
Sending that circle out again to family,
To friends,
Neighbors,
Even strangers that are going to be lit up,
Lit up by you sending that energy into them.
The beauty is that they don't even have to know it and it feels so good to give it to them.
Bringing it through your whole body again,
Down through your legs and into the earth,
Connecting to the planet,
Tapping into that energetic web that connects us all and then bringing it back up through your body and out through the top of your head.
Feeling it,
Breathing that energy,
Breathing it back down from the top of your head now,
Feeling your mind,
Your body,
Your emotions,
Cleansing your body,
Strengthening it,
Strengthening the best parts of you,
Your passion,
Your love,
Your determination,
Your joy,
Bringing it to your heart and sending it out again to those you love,
To those you have just met or maybe those you are beginning to love,
Healing them,
Strengthening them.
They don't even have to know it and it feels so good to give it to them,
To see them feel joy,
To see them heal and grow,
To provide them with any measure of relief or comfort in this moment.
To take the opportunity this moment provides,
To feel the love you have available to you,
Taking in that joy you can give them and they don't even know it.
One more time now,
Breathing that healing light all the way through you,
Down into the earth and all the way back up again,
Feeling it deeply as it moves through,
Strengthening the best parts of you,
The real you,
Without the limitations,
The fear,
The unstoppable you.
What if life is always happening for you and not to you,
Dear one?
Sometimes it looks like it's happening to you but it's all happening for you.
You are exactly where you are meant to be right now and all is unfolding precisely as it should for your expansion.
What if even the pain and the problems were gifts,
That you were able to find the meaning and be free of that pain,
Even if the days you are currently navigating are challenging,
Today can be more compelling.
And tomorrow,
Because of this day well lived,
Because of showing up for yourself like this,
Tomorrow can be a magical one.
Feel that energy in you build up,
The energy of all these experiences,
Reinforcing,
Validating,
Bringing forward that joy,
That happiness,
That love.
Bring it into your heart,
Feel it,
Breathe it,
Experience it,
Own it.
It is you,
As you.
This is the real you.
This is your true nature,
Unbound from that survival mind,
From the limitations that it place on you,
The questioning,
The concerns,
The what ifs,
The whys,
The hows,
Freeing yourself from them.
Feeling it,
Know it's unlimited nature.
This is you at the deepest level,
Your spirit,
Your soul.
This is you,
Your full potential.
Imagine what you could accomplish in this state.
Imagine what you can do by showing up for yourself,
By retraining,
By reprogramming,
By taking the time to prime yourself each day so that you can be in this state,
So that you can honor the steps you've already taken,
All the beautiful places you've already been,
All those strengths you've already built.
This is the you that you are bringing to this day.
Allow this light you have found to move ahead of you throughout the day,
Guiding a path before you.
See each interaction you have today as already happened in an energy of light,
Of love,
Of gratitude.
See that each person you meet can feel this light radiating from you and be lovingly touched by it.
Feel yourself as energized,
As full of gratitude and ready to begin your day,
Feeling empowered as you open your eyes now.
Good morning to you,
To the real you,
To the empowered you.
Feel it and let it guide you throughout this day.
