Welcome friends and good morning.
This guided meditation journey is intended to help you start your day with a little positivity.
These practices may help you let go of troubles,
Worries,
Those inner voices that can return again and again.
Sometimes we are able to let go.
Some days we may find it more of a challenge,
And that's okay.
This is not about finding perfection.
As we practice our meditation,
We grow stronger and more able to let go.
So the process can become easier with practice.
And this is a journey to embrace the hope and possibility of the dawn.
You may wish to rise at dawn,
Or perhaps we are simply somewhere safe and warm,
Starting the morning in our own time.
As we take pause to close the eyes and take a moment to settle and relax,
Within our mind's eye we find ourselves in a most beautiful place in nature,
A sacred grove of trees and singing birds.
Waking up to the day,
Tall trees rise,
Strong and steady around you.
Green leaves,
Festooned strong boughs and branches.
And there is a scent of earth and moss,
Of bark and bracken,
Of fern and frond in the air.
This is a sacred space indeed.
The sun has not quite yet kissed the horizon on its rising journey,
But there is a gentle light in the sky.
We see the dusky colours of dawn above us,
And we know that the light is coming.
With this coming light,
There is a sense of hope,
Possibility,
And it is not just us that feel this.
As the dawn approaches,
We hear from the trees around us the dawn chorus of birds as they rise and sing to their kin a celebration of song,
A connection,
A declaration.
This beautiful song is to announce that they have made it through the night and a new day is coming.
We see the first flashes of the sun begin to rise over the horizon and shine through the trees.
Sky lights up in bright shades,
Pink,
Orange,
And red.
Sky is aglow with light,
And now the singing birds begin to rise in flight.
You see these beautiful birds flying up into the sky around you.
They rise as the sun rises.
As the sun rises higher,
The light grows,
And as you pass the horizon now,
You feel the sense of lift within you is growing,
Like this rising of the sun and these birds in flight.
Before you is a day that you can make your own.
You can fill this day with the things that bring you joy,
That help lift you and others up.
Take your time to visualise now,
In the full light of the morning sun,
Your day ahead,
Your week ahead.
How can you embrace this gift of time,
This gift of a new day?
There may be challenges and adventures before us,
But we can celebrate the unknown,
The wildness,
The potential of a new dawn,
And embrace this bright new day.
When you feel ready to start your day,
Take a stretch and open your eyes,
And I wish you a day that is filled with moments of light,
Strength,
Of sunbeams,
And of song.
Thank you for joining me on the journey.
I hope to see you soon.
