Begin by placing a hand on your heart,
Taking a deep breath in,
Bring a smile to your face,
Exhaling,
Surrendering all that you are and all that is to the universe.
If it is hard this morning to conjure up a smile,
Think of something or someone that brings you joy.
Place in a time,
Fill your mind's eye with that energy,
That landscape,
Allowing the corners of your mouth to rise in genuine love,
Genuine joy.
With your inhale breaths,
Fill your body with that feeling and as you exhale,
Imagine sending that feeling out of your body through the tips of your fingers,
The bottom of your feet,
Into the space around you.
A beautiful swirl of light and love engulfing you.
And as we call joy and happiness into our bodies,
Sometimes grief or sadness or anxiety begins to be pushed out.
Be exactly where you are in this moment,
Allowing your feelings,
Allowing more laughter,
Smile or grief or tears.
Just keep breathing in love,
Breathing in the smile,
Letting go of everything else out of your body,
Asking universe,
Spirit,
The divine,
However you connect,
To hold those things for you.
Continuing to take really big deep breaths.
Now imagine the Sun begins to send its rays of light down on you,
The warmth on your face and skin.
In your mind's eye,
You take yourself to a beautiful beach.
As you see this giant bright Sun rising over the ocean,
Take in its power to bring light into the world.
And just like the Sun,
We have the power to bring light into the world.
Asking ourselves this morning,
Where is my inner Sun?
What do I want to bring into the world today?
Do I want to be of service?
Do I want to make people laugh?
I want to bring kindness,
Gentleness.
We are always holding spaces in ourselves for the light and the dark,
Neither good or bad.
This is to know and feel our light and intentionally shine it today.
And if at any moment you find yourself trapped in a thought,
A story,
Angst,
Discomfort,
Look up to the sky and whether the Sun is visible or behind the clouds or rain,
Know it is present.
Put your hand on your heart and take a deep breath in and be reminded the light lives in you.
And just bathe in that beautiful light that is swirling around you still of love and joy and gratitude.
