Hello, Hello, Beautiful soul and welcome to Faith Centered Families. My name is Leanne Schweitzer and I am going to guide you through a quick few minutes of allowing you to connect deeper to the creator of the world, The divine, Our heavenly father. Allow yourself to find a comfortable seated position. Closing down your eyes if that feels appropriate. And together take a deep breath in, Fill all the way up. Open up your mouth, Exhale. Again, Breathe in and breathe out. One more inhale, Exhale. Each exhale an opportunity to soften, To relax. Begin to notice your sits bones anchored and tethered onto the ground, The earth beneath you. And from that rooted sensation, Feel yourself sit up a little bit taller, Shrug your shoulders up to your ears, Inhale. Exhale, Relax your shoulders. Breathe in, Exhale. An opportunity for you to say out loud what it is that you are grateful for. Thank you for another beautiful day on this planet earth. Thank you for the flowers and the bees and the seeds and the trees. Heavenly father, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for my eyes to see, My ears to hear, My tongue to speak from my heart with truth, Honesty, Authenticity and integrity. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. And take another full breath in. Begin to blink open your eyes. Have a beautiful day.
