Begin The Day On Life’s Terms

A gentle ten-minute morning practice for returning to the calm, accepting centre that lives in all of us. There is nothing to get right here and nothing to perform. We begin by grounding through the feet, settling into the sounds of the room, and arriving in a space where you are accepted exactly as you are, without needing to wear a mask. From there we turn towards gratitude, resting attention on something or someone you are thankful for, and noticing how that feels in the body and in the heart. The practice closes by preparing for the day ahead, holding the intention to take life on life’s terms. Things may go to plan or they may not, and either way you can carry this steadiness with you. Suitable for anyone starting their day, and for those working on self-acceptance.
