Welcome to this meditation to start your day with clear boundaries.
I'm Sarasena Croce and I'll be your guide today.
I'm recording this on a cloudy December morning from my home office in Switzerland.
This is your moment to ground yourself,
Create clarity and honor your needs as you move into the day.
Let's begin.
Go ahead and find a comfortable position,
Either seated or lying down with your hands resting gently in your lap or at your sides.
If it feels safe,
You can gently close your eyes now.
Start by taking a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely.
Hold it for a moment and now exhale slowly through your mouth,
Releasing any tension or worry.
Take another deep breath in and this time imagine you're breathing in clarity and strength.
Hold it hold it and as you exhale let go of any feelings of obligation and instead make space for self-awareness and calm.
Now bring your attention to your body.
Notice how it feels today as you prepare to center yourself for the day ahead.
Starting at the top of your head starting at the top of your head we'll scan down through your body starting with your forehead.
Relax your forehead and brow and then all the tiny muscles around your eyes and your nose.
Unclench your jaw and drop your shoulders away from your ears.
Now that you have created space feel your chest rise and fall gently with your breath.
Soften your belly and let your arms and hands rest heavily.
Really feel how heavy they begin to feel and now allow the relaxation to flow down your legs all the way to your toes.
Feel your body supported steady and grounded.
And now imagine a warm golden light surrounding you a safe protective energy.
This light forms a soft glowing boundary around your entire being letting in only what nourishes you and gently deflecting what doesn't serve you.
Feel how safe and clear this boundary makes you feel.
As you keep breathing reflect on the value of setting boundaries in your life.
Boundaries are not barriers instead they are acts of love for yourself and even for others.
They allow you to show up fully while honoring your energy and your needs.
Take a moment now to consider just one area of your life where you could benefit from clearer boundaries today.
Maybe it's with your time your energy with saying no.
Visualize yourself confidently sharing your needs and setting this boundary with grace and kindness.
Take another deep breath and as you exhale silently repeat these affirmations after me.
I honor my needs and set boundaries with ease.
And set boundaries with ease.
My boundaries create space for my well-being and joy.
I release guilt and embrace clarity.
I move through my day with confidence and self-respect.
Feel these affirmations settle into your being becoming your truth for the day ahead.
And now just think of one small action you can take today to uphold your boundaries.
Let this action anchor your commitment to self-care.
Take one more deep breath filling your body with a sense of strength and readiness.
And feel the protective energy of your boundaries as you prepare to step into your day.
But before you do just enjoy this moment.
This last moment of stillness and clarity you've created.
Bring your awareness back to your breath and just let your body breathe for you with no effort whatsoever.
Slowly start to bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
And when you feel ready,
Open your eyes and carry the sense of clarity and inner strength with you as you move through your day.
Namaste.
Thank you so much for spending this time with me today.
If you want to work on your boundaries,
I also have a course called Learn to Say No Without Guilt.
You'll find it in my courses tab.
I wish you a wonderful day with clear boundaries.
Take care.
