Insight Timer Welcome to The Daily Insight.
My name is Linda Hall and I'm a teacher here on Insight Timer.
Today's meditation will help you prepare and motivate you for the day ahead,
Using a combination of practices,
Including mindfulness,
Grounding,
Gratitude,
Affirmations,
And loving kindness.
Allow your eyes to comfortably close and become aware of the surface directly beneath your body.
Surrender your weight to its support.
Breathe out down the full length of your body,
Allowing it to soften and release what it's brought with it here and no longer needs to carry.
In your own time,
Notice the support beneath you is steady.
Sit back onto the steadiness.
Notice the solid support of the ground meeting your body's weight through the surface beneath it.
Balancing,
Strengthening,
Empowering.
Draw the power of the earth up into your body on your breath.
Let it energize and recharge you for the day ahead.
Feel the power of earth energy within you.
Filling your body,
Filling your mind.
In your own time,
Become aware of the movements your body makes as you breathe.
The expansion of the in,
The release of the out.
Notice the sensation as air enters your nostrils and leaves.
Notice your breathing in from the space around you.
In this moment here,
This new morning.
Enjoy.
Savour the in-breath like a refreshing drink.
Welcome the new day.
Sense out to the natural world around you.
All of nature alive in this moment.
Breathe its uplifting,
Renewing energy into you.
Take it deep.
Let it fill you up from top to toe.
To take with you into the coming day.
Know that you are just as special,
As beautiful,
As strong as all the beauty in nature around you.
And that you too are capable of great things.
Allow your heart energy to open to loving kindness.
Let loving kindness radiate its light across your chest,
And through the whole of your body.
Allow it to spread outwards and surround you in its warm glow.
Breathe the energy of loving kindness in and out on your breath.
Know that loving kindness will be there with you,
There for you throughout your coming day,
To sustain,
Nourish,
And protect you in all that you do.
Give thanks for the new day.
Give thanks for this moment.
Give thanks for all that is good in your life.
Give thanks for anything else that comes to mind.
Affirm yourself.
In your own time,
Come back to the ebb and flow of your breath,
The sensation of air entering and leaving your nostrils,
The movements your body makes as you breathe.
Notice your body making contact with the surface beneath it.
When you are ready,
You can draw this meditation to a close and move forward into your day with all the resources you need.
