Good morning.
Let's begin this day grounded,
Calm,
And at peace.
Sit comfortably.
Let your hands rest gently in your lap,
And when you're ready,
Softly close your eyes.
Let's take a deep breath in through the nose,
And exhale slowly through the mouth.
Again,
Inhale peace,
And exhale anything you don't need.
One more.
Breathe in deeply,
And sigh it out with ease.
Now let's gently scan your body.
Relax your scalp,
Drop your shoulder.
Now soften your jaw,
And unclench your hand.
Wiggle your toes,
And rotate your ankles.
Let your body know it's okay to begin the day slow.
Now imagine a soft,
Golden light above your head.
This light is warm,
Peaceful,
And gentle.
With each breath in,
It moves down through your body,
Bringing calm to your mind,
Your chest,
And your belly,
All the way down to your toes.
You're filled with a sense of ease and lightness.
This is your morning calm.
Now let's try a gentle breathing rhythm together,
Called box breathing.
We'll inhale for four,
Hold for four,
And exhale for four,
Then hold for four again.
Are you ready?
Inhale two,
Three,
Four,
Hold two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale two,
Three,
Four,
Hold two,
Three,
Four.
Let's do it again.
Inhale for two,
Three,
Four,
Hold two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale two,
Three,
Four,
Hold two,
Three,
Four.
Now return to a natural breath.
Feel your whole body settling.
You are grounded.
You are safe,
And you are ready for your day.
Now silently repeat to yourself,
Today I choose peace.
Today I move with ease.
Today I show up as my calmest,
Truest self.
Feel these words settling into your heart.
Repeat them as many times as you need to.
They're yours to carry throughout the day.
Now begin to bring awareness back to the room,
Wiggling your fingers and your toes.
Take one final deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Gently open your eyes.
You're ready for the day with peace in your mind,
Calm in your body,
And presence in your heart.
Until next time,
Keep evolving,
Keep growing,
And most of all,
Keep showing up as you.
