Good morning,
Welcome to a brand new day.
You don't even have to leave your bed to do this meditation.
You can lie right where you are,
Or you can get up and lie on the floor.
Much like the rest of this day,
The choice is yours.
Allow the eyes to gently close,
Gently,
Gently.
Feel the weight of the body relaxing on the bed or the surface you are resting on,
And allowing the body to sink deeper into relaxation.
Surrender the body,
Let go,
Surrender.
This is a brand new day,
A day in which you can choose to be the way you want to be.
You don't have to get carried away by stress.
You can slow down and live life at the pace you want to live.
Bring your attention to the belly and notice how it expands on the in-breath.
Notice how it contracts on the out-breath.
Just feel it,
Don't push it.
The breath is a gift,
It is pure grace.
It happens without you having to do a single thing.
It happens just for you.
Appreciate that.
Say thank you to this beautiful breath.
Feel it.
It is literally love pouring in and your job is just to feel it and surrender to the process.
As it comes in say in your mind,
Love.
Just like a mantra,
Love.
And as it leaves,
Surrender.
Say in your mind,
Surrender.
In,
Love.
And on the out-breath,
Surrender.
And keep that going.
Feel the sensations of breath and connect them to the meaning they represent.
Love and surrender.
Reflect how surrender is our act to the love we receive at every moment.
To surrender is to trust the force of love.
And now bring your attention to your heart space.
The spiritual center of emotion in your chest.
Connect to it now.
Remembering that each moment is the unfolding of love and the only true way to live is to surrender to its power.
Let's honour the energy of love with some affirmations.
From your heart centre say,
With every breath I am given to,
I surrender to this love.
With every breath I am given to,
I surrender to this love.
I let go into grace.
I trust in life.
I let go into grace.
I let go into grace.
I trust in life.
I am a being of love.
I will radiate this love to all who cross my path.
I am a being of love.
I will radiate this love to all who cross my path.
Let this day be a day of love.
Let this day be a day of love.
Let this day be a day of love.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We will finish with one of my favourite poems by Hafiz.
Even after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
You owe me.
Look what happens with a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.
Now coming back,
Opening to this morning,
Waking to a new world,
A brand new day,
Surrender to it all in love.
Thank you for meditating with me.
I have a group here on Insight Timer and it's called Mindfulness in Daily Life.
Please follow me and the group so we can all grow together.
Peace.
