Welcome.
Thank you for joining me for this mindful day meditation.
A gentle reminder that every day has the potential to be a wonderful day.
As Pooh asked Piglet,
What day is it?
Piglet squeaked,
It's today.
And Pooh replied,
My favorite day.
So let's begin to lay the foundation to create a favorite day by taking a few moments in your special sacred space to envision the perfect day ahead.
Gently closing your eyes,
Begin to focus on the rhythm of your breath.
Feel your energy gently lifting with each inhalation as you lengthen,
Open and expand,
Bringing in fresh new oxygen,
Stimulating the cells and organs of your body.
With each exhalation,
Letting go of anything that came before,
Softening and settling as you find your way to the present moment.
For this is where you hold your power.
As you tune into the tidal rhythm of your breath,
Imagine a beautiful blue sky.
As the thoughts come in,
Let them pass like clouds floating across the horizon of your mind.
Bring yourself back to your sunny blue sky and know that the sun is always there behind the clouds,
Behind your thoughts.
Begin to shine and light your path.
How would you like your day to go today?
How do you feel?
Perhaps you did not sleep well or feeling a little sad or anxious.
Let's see if we can paint a brighter picture.
Like an artist with a blank canvas,
We can begin to fill that canvas with vibrant color,
Unique flourishes,
Happy smiling faces,
Kind and compassionate thoughts.
Tap into the power and uniqueness of you and bring it onto this canvas.
Don't let it be gray and blah.
Fill it with sunshine and love.
Let it shine.
Your little corner of the world is waiting and you are alive,
Connected and aware.
Ready to drink in the sweetness of this day as it gradually unfolds,
Soaking in and living fully in each moment,
Knowing that once each moment passes,
There will never be another one exactly like it.
There is no hurry.
Take your time.
When we are rushing,
We may miss those rare moments of serendipity,
Those seemingly random events where everything is aligned and magic happens.
The wonders of nature that surround us may pass us by.
The sweet harmonies of birdsong,
A gentle breeze on your skin,
Majestic trees full of stories of past lives,
A beautiful butterfly with perhaps a message from a lost loved one.
These moments should be treasured and celebrated,
No matter how simple.
Embrace these blessings that are being bestowed upon you.
Even our most ordinary days may be full of possibilities.
Do not discount this day by thinking about a seemingly perfect tomorrow or dwelling on the past and old stories that cannot be changed.
Even the most difficult days will bring us a smorgasbord of lessons and blessings.
Our lessons help us build awareness and will bring insight and transformation.
Handle carefully with grace as you recognize the possible need for change.
Let the mind be calm and clarity will come.
Absorb the moments,
Lessons and blessings and open your heart and mind to many more days of magic and mindfulness.
Begin to bring your awareness back to your surroundings,
Back to your body and back to your breath.
Slowly open your eyes,
Lift your gaze and get ready for some magical moments.
Namaste.
