Welcome to Meditation Tides with Michelle Sanctuary.
Let the tides of this midday reset bring you a chance to begin again today.
I'm Michelle and you may think of my voice as one of a long-time trusted friend.
I'm here to help you release what has already transpired,
Opening yourself to the same refreshed,
Unwritten canvas that exists when you first awaken to a new day.
I hope to remind you that nothing is written in stone.
And so many wonderful,
Inspiring moments may still play out through the rest of your day.
By shifting your attention to these possibilities,
You can release any clouds of the morning and any expectations that were let down.
I invite you to consider the idea.
That there are many choices,
Infinite choices.
In any given moment.
That we may never even consider once we get comfy in a routine.
It open yourself.
To new uncharted possibilities.
If only to feel a little less stuck.
A little more open.
Use the power of your breath.
To create a clear and spacious inner mindscape.
Let out a sigh.
Soothing your nerves,
And releasing any frustrations,
Any missteps,
Or anything you wish were going differently.
As you inhale.
Take in the air with a sense of gratitude and luxury.
Imagine it takes on the crispness of a mountain lake.
Or the soothing salinity of a coast.
Whatever helps you reset.
Feel the ease of a holiday.
Without another sigh.
Finding looseness and a sense of fluidity.
In places where we often grieve.
Good job.
Shoulders.
The chest.
The belly.
As you inhale the pristine air of your desired world.
Feel it infusing you with recognition.
With reassurance.
With a gift that every single breath gives.
Chance to begin again.
Now visualize yourself walking on a winding path.
One that spirals and turns in ways where you don't quite know what to expect.
Your feet step onto soft sand.
Surrounded by wild brush.
Majestic pines rise up around you.
Their feathery branches.
Creating a canopy that the Sun filters through.
The air is cool.
Like the first hours of morning.
And a blend of pine resin and salt.
Is an instant sound.
As you walk along this uncertain path.
You carry with you a series of intentions.
To make the most of each moment.
To recognize you may change course.
Whenever you like.
The canopy opens like the doors of a cathedral.
Bringing you to the top.
Soaring bluffs and a vista that stretches infinitely.
And sky blues.
Deep sapphire waves.
The sun pours over you.
Infusing you with a sense of pure vitality.
With each crashing wave.
Let these affirmations wash over you.
I welcome the chance to recess.
Every breath brings a chance to begin again.
The world expands beyond even the most limiting thoughts.
And I connect with its abundance.
Take one more deep,
Luxurious breath.
Feeling the warmth of the sun.
The strength of the bluffs beneath you grounded.
Restored.
You carry this expansive,
Open feeling with you as you gently return to the present moment and step into the rest of your day,
Feeling a sense of newness.
