Welcome to this 6 day morning challenge.
Start your day from the inside out.
This challenge was born from a longing many people recognize,
The feeling of drifting away from yourself as the day unfolds.
Giving a lot,
Thinking a lot,
Doing a lot,
And losing touch with your own center along the way.
Through breath,
Sound,
Gentle movement and awareness,
You return to your body and your own presence,
Tuning in to yourself so that you can feel clear,
Vibrant,
Centered and alive before the day has even begun.
This 6-day Morning Challenge helps you begin each day from within yourself.
Full of energy,
Centered and aligned,
Through short,
Embodied practices,
You return to your body,
Your heart and your energy.
Each morning you take a few mindful minutes to pause with your body,
Your breath,
Your energy,
Your awareness.
No complicated routines,
Just small moments that help you move into your day with more clarity,
Calm and connection to yourself.
I am Diana and I'm honored to guide you through this small practice.
Welcome to day 2.
Boundaries as soft edges.
This is a moment to feel your energy,
Establish your space clearly and stay close to yourself.
Many people quickly absorb the energy of others throughout the day.
The adepts open up,
Or go along,
And lose contact with themselves in the process.
This practice helps you consciously feel your own energy first.
Not to close yourself off,
But remain open,
Clear and present,
While staying fully with yourself.
Let's begin.
Close your eyes and relax.
And feel your body,
Your breath,
Your own space.
Just feel how it is at this moment.
And imagine a soft light appearing around you.
Clear,
Calm breathing.
Like a natural boundary that is entirely yours,
A circle or oval of soft light.
With space around you,
Above,
Below,
Behind,
In front,
Left and right.
Experience the space.
Is it spacious enough,
Or perhaps too spacious?
Adjust the space around you exactly what you need right now.
You feel it when it's just right.
The moment of yes,
This is it exactly.
Relax and breathe.
Now place a rose at the edges of the circle in your mind's eye.
Front,
Back,
Left,
Right,
Above and below.
Notice that the roses are firmly rooted.
And breathe gently in and out.
The roses absorb any energy from outside that you do not wish in your immediate space.
And while you make fully contact with your own energy,
Let's sound a soft vrrr sound together.
The vuuu sound is a soft vibrating tone that calms the nervous system and lets your body feel alive from within.
Let's do that seven times.
Roar!
Sigh.
And feel how you are right now.
Feel the vibration,
The tingling.
Repeat this practice a few times throughout the day and refresh your roses if needed.
Love,
Diana
