Find a comfortable place where you can sit quietly for the next few minutes.
Let your spine be tall but relaxed.
Rest your hands gently on your thighs.
Or over your heart if that feels comforting.
If you're comfortable doing so,
Softly close your eyes.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose.
Hold it for a moment.
Then exhale gently through your mouth.
Releasing yesterday.
Releasing expectations,
Releasing the pressure.
To be anything other than who you are right now.
Take another slow breath.
And another.
And notice that with every inhale,
You are welcoming a new beginning.
With every exhale,
You are creating space for peace.
This morning is a fresh page,
Before emails,
Responsibilities,
Decisions.
This moment belongs entirely to you.
There is nowhere else you need to be.
Nothing you need to accomplish.
So simply allow yourself to arrive here.
Bring your attention to your body.
Feel the weight of your feet on the floor,
Or the support beneath you.
You Notice the steady rhythm of your breathing.
Feel your shoulders soften.
And your jaw relax.
Release any tension that you feel in your forehead.
In the back of your neck.
Continue closing your eyes,
Just noticing.
And as you do so,
I'd like you to imagine that the first rays of the morning sun are gently shining upon you.
It could be actually visible or hidden behind the clouds.
Either way,
You just picture its warm golden light surrounding you.
This light doesn't judge,
It doesn't compare.
And it doesn't ask you to prove your worth.
It simply shines.
Imagine this warm light touching the top of your head.
Slowly flowing downward like liquid gold.
And as it moves through your forehead,
Allow your mind to become quiet.
You Let thoughts drift by like clouds.
No need to follow them.
Just observe them.
And let them pass.
And just allow this warm light.
To encapsulate you.
Protect you.
Keep you feeling safe.
Without forcing anything.
Imagine Placing.
Any burdens that you may be holding onto.
Anything you're struggling with at this moment.
Imagine placing them into the light.
And watch them dissolve.
Watch them evaporate into the air.
Place your hand over your heart and feel its steady warmth.
Feel its rhythm.
Your heart has carried you through every joyful moment and every difficult one.
Has remained with you through every success.
Through every mistake.
Every beginning and every ending.
And you can allow it to carry you through the rest of the day.
You can trust in yourself.
Carry this feeling into your morning.
Whenever you need it today,
Pause for one breath,
Place a hand over your heart and remember.
That you are enough.
You always have been.
Today,
Simply by being yourself.
You are already bringing something valuable.
Into the world.
Have a wonderful day.
