Good morning,
Dear friend.
As we step into this new day,
Let's go together on a gentle journey of appreciation and peaceful morning reflection.
Find a cozy spot where you can be present and comfortable.
Gently close your beautiful eyes.
And let's begin by taking one deep,
Nourishing breath together.
Inhaling positivity and exhaling to feel the newness of this fresh and beautiful day,
Inspiring you to appreciate the precious gift of life.
Let each new breath and each new moment bring you a wave of invigorating morning energy.
Feel the vitality of that new energy settle throughout your entire being,
Spreading outwards from within.
And,
With gratitude,
Appreciate how that energy moves through you,
Positively energizing you for the day ahead.
Start to visualize the morning sun casting its golden glow on you.
Feel or imagine its radiant beams symbolizing the light that brightens your life.
And let it help you embrace the beauty of this new day,
A blank new page,
Your life's story that is unfolding gently and lovingly.
Imagine the countless moments of beauty and joy that might fill your day,
Miracles and synchronicities that could delight you.
The sun,
Rising and shining its light and warmth on all it touches,
Bringing life.
The sound of friendly voice,
A compliment,
A coincidence,
A new memory to hold dear.
This day,
Just like any other,
Holds a myriad of moments of potential.
Feel into the preciousness of that potential now.
Feel your heart to bloom into gratitude.
Ask yourself,
What am I truly grateful for on this day?
The gift of morning light.
The new energy of each breath.
The possibilities the day will bring for joy,
For love.
Let this growing feeling of appreciation to inspire you to make this day be the best it can.
With each moment painting a brushstroke of beauty upon the brand new page.
So you can look back at it and say,
What a work of art that day was.
How you lived each moment with the energy of inspiration and the art of appreciation.
That you took each step,
Each breath and each possibility with the joy of living,
The beauty of being and the beauty of being you.
Extend that feeling of appreciation outwards.
Imagine it as a light,
Shining on all the people in your life you are grateful for.
Illuminating your appreciation for them,
For the joy they bring,
For the ways they understand you,
Inspire you and elevate you.
Helping you be the best you can be,
Just as you help them.
Gift your gratitude to those heartfelt connections you have with others.
Let the light of that gratitude grow,
Almost as if they might even feel it on their skin as warmth,
Knowing that someone,
Somewhere,
Is grateful for their being.
Rest in appreciations of these connections and of the communities you engage in that uplift you and allow you to thrive.
Let a gentle inner smile shine from within,
Gracing your lips as you welcome the connections,
Communications,
Laughs and loves that might flow in and out of your day,
Ready to be recognized and appreciated.
See the interconnectedness of gratitude and energy,
How they enhance each other.
Moments of gratitude recharge the batteries of your being and boost your ability to live with joy and love and to inspire others to do the same.
Feel how your own gratitude can light the way towards living each day with bliss of knowing its preciousness.
Now,
Set your intentions for the day ahead,
Repeating silently in your mind,
I am thankful for the gift of this day.
I embrace every opportunity it brings.
I love each moment and create possibilities of happiness.
Affirmations rooted in gratitude can be powerful mantras.
Let them become seeds planted in the garden of your mind,
Blossoming into a day filled with positivity and joy.
When you feel ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Maybe stretch,
Maybe smile more and choose to carry the glow of gratitude with you.
May your day be blessed with moments of joy and may you feel present to appreciate each one.
Thank you for sharing this morning meditation with me.
Be well,
My dear friend.
