The Sunflower Stretch Welcome to this little mini-meditation.

It's called the Sunflower Stretch.

Let's ground ourselves and open up to the day's magic.

Imagine you are a sunflower,

Growing tall on a beautiful field.

The roots are your feet and they are deep in the earth,

Strong and steady.

Your body slowly stretches up,

Up,

Up toward the warm sunlight.

Feel your arms reaching wide like sunflower petals.

Turn your face towards the light and take a big,

Warm breath in.

Breathe out and feel yourself smiling just like a sunflower greeting a new day.

Your bright yellow color shining brightly waking you up.

Stay tall,

Bright,

And open to whatever the day brings.

I grow with the light.

I open my heart.

I am ready to shine.
