Welcome to Meditation Tides with Michelle Sanctuary. Let this morning practice remind you. That safety is something you already carry. And you can bring it with you. Into everything today holds. This morning guided meditation. Is designed to help you meet the day. From a place of steadiness. Feeling safe and secure in your body. I am Michelle and you may think of my voice. As a longtime trusted friend. Remember this moment is yours. Nothing today is written yet. As you settle. Set aside any rush to get moving. The day will still be there in a few minutes. But these minutes are for you. Right now, You only need to breathe. And remember that you are your own best advocate. As you step into the day. Take in one slow, Full breath. Drawing it into your belly. Hold it for a moment. And sigh it out. With each breath. Send your body one simple message. You are safe. You are ready for whatever the day brings, Not because everything or anything is certain. But because you are capable. Meeting whatever comes. Imagine the gates of a levee opening at first light. Releasing anything heavy out toward the horizon. Let it become small silver bubbles. Drifting out on the dive. Let them go. Watch them shrink. And disappear into the new day's promising light. Now see a quiet go. Just as the sun begins to touch the water. The morning tide is calm here. Tucked away from anything rushing. Or demanding. You step in and the water is inviting. Cool and clear. It moves around you gently. Like a hand steadying your shoulder. This is your safety. It doesn't end when you open your eyes. It stays with you. Fluid and malleable. Into everything today holds. As you float in this early water. Let these words settle. Within you. Your sense of safety belongs to you. You are capable. You are supported by your own wisdom and strength. Whatever the hours ahead may bring. You can return to the steady place. Within yourself. And with each breath. Let these affirmations land softly. I carry my safety with me. I can meet today's moments. One at a time. I can honor my boundaries. And trust myself to handle whatever comes. I am the keeper. Of my peace and my inner calm. Take one more deep breath. Feeling the solid support of the Earth beneath you. The light expanding around you. You can carry this steadiness with you for the rest of the day. Knowing that the most profound safety cultivated within you. Whenever you're ready. Wiggle your fingers and toes. Open your eyes. And step into your day. Safe to begin.
