Transcript

Welcome yourself to a new day full of possibility.

Allow yourself the grace to awaken your mind softly and slowly.

In these first few moments of your day,

Notice how it feels to be back in your body after a night of sleep.

Feel your lungs and feel your breath as it moves your chest and your belly in and out.

Feel the fresh new energy of the morning as it circulates into the extremities of your fingers and toes and all the way up to the top of your head,

Brightening your mind.

Sense this inner landscape of aliveness that tunes your mind and body and all of its systems,

Connecting you to the earth,

The elements,

And to all objects and living beings that you will encounter as you experience the day ahead.

Bring this sense of possibility and connectivity into this moment and begin your day from this awakened place.
