Good morning and happy birthday!
Welcome to this morning meditation for when it's your birthday.
I'm Sarasen Akroci,
Coming to you from my home office in Switzerland,
And I'll be your guide for this special meditation today.
This meditation is here to honor your journey,
Recognize your growth,
And remind you of your innate worth,
And just in general celebrate you.
So go ahead and find a comfortable position,
However you want to do and experience this meditation today.
And then gently close your eyes if that feels safe,
And take a deep breath in.
It's like a celebratory breath,
So breathe in a sense of celebration and appreciation for yourself.
And as you exhale,
Let go of any pressure or expectations you might feel about what today should be.
And now just let your breath find its own gentle rhythm,
With each inhale bringing a sense of gratitude,
And each exhale washing away any stress or self-doubt.
And now bring your awareness to your body.
Feel the support beneath you,
Steady and secure.
And then notice the sensations around you.
The air touching your skin,
The clothes resting against you,
And the way your body connects with the ground.
Today is a day to celebrate you just as you are.
With each breath,
Let your body relax into this support,
Knowing that you are valued just by being here.
As you keep breathing,
Take a moment to reflect on the path you've walked,
The experiences,
Lessons,
And steps that have shaped you into who you are today.
Inhale deeply,
Filling yourself with gratitude for the strength,
Resilience,
And growth you've embraced.
And exhale,
Releasing any doubts or insecurities,
And just know that you are exactly where you need to be.
You are enough,
And today is a reminder of your unique presence in this world.
Now think of the moments that have brought you joy,
The people who have supported you,
And the simple pleasures that are constantly enriching your life.
Imagine each of these small joys as a small light,
Forming a constellation of all the beautiful memories that make up your life.
Breathe in,
Feeling the warmth of these memories,
And breathe out,
Sending gratitude for each connection,
Each moment that has touched your heart.
Remember that your worth is not defined by milestones or achievements.
It's found in these connections,
In these tiny moments of awe,
In your presence,
Your kindness,
And your journey.
Now visualize a soft,
Golden light surrounding you,
Like the warmth of the sun on a bright morning.
This light represents all the love,
Wisdom,
And uniqueness within you.
With each breath,
Feel this light expand,
Filling you with a sense of purpose and self-love.
Inhale,
And just embrace the celebration of life,
And exhale,
Release any lingering tension.
You are a gift to this world,
And today is a reminder of your unique presence in this world.
Let yourself feel the fullness of that truth.
Take another moment here to just settle even more deeply into this feeling of light,
Warmth,
And celebration of yourself.
And then,
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes again,
Knowing that today is a day to celebrate yourself,
Your life,
And the path ahead.
And just take this sense of gratitude and self-love with you as you step into your day,
Your birthday.
Namaste.
