Transcript

Footprints in the sand.

Breathe deeply,

Experience completely,

Feel freely.

This morning,

What is it you are seeking?

Is it the aliveness of the water?

Is it the beauty of the sky?

Let us breathe it in.

Knowing that for today,

We are open to whatever comes our way.

We seek our purpose.

We listen and we feel.

Today,

Let us focus on how we are leaving our footprints.

How are we moving forward and what is it we want to leave?

Are we able to be the one we want to be?

Are we able to give what it is we want to give today?

And are we able to receive what it is we want to receive today?

Let us go into the stillness and think about what kind of footprints we are leaving today.

Let us go into the stillness and think about what kind of footprints we want to receive today.

Let us continue in the stillness.

Speaking the inner guidance of our Divine to lead us into the day.

What I know for sure is what I focus on in the morning will set my day for the whole time and I know that I am on the right path.

What will your footprints be today?

What will you give and what will you receive?

May you know that you are loved.

And how do you feel?

Reviews

This made me thing about what my footprints are. I liked the sound of the water.

Loved the sounds of waking through the surf. Thank you 💜 x

I am not, and never have been, a huge fan of the beach (despite living relatively near the shore for a good chunk of my life) - I am far more of a mountain-type. I typically bypass beach-related practices as a result. They're simply not particularly restful or soothing to me in general.

I opted to engage with this one, though, because I was intrigued (as a former audio professional) by how footprints on the beach might be recorded. This promised not to be the standard waves/wind/birds/whale or dolphin/steel drums type of practice, thankfully. And such was the case.

Not only was I impressed with the quality of the recording under technically challenging conditions - salt water air can mess with all manner of equipment over time - but the practice itself was lovely. This is NOT related to the well-known "Footprints" poem, by the way. It is essentially asking one to remain mindful of how actions affect the world as the day moves along. What kind of footprints are we leaving behind us?

I am bookmarking this practice. Sometimes a single sentence resonates so deeply that it becomes indelible upon the mind. I have a few of those already. I have now added another, from this practice.

Thank you so much for sharing this practice with us here. I see the light in you. 🤲🏻❤️🤲🏻
