Hello and welcome.
My name is Tina and I want to thank you for joining me for this meditation.
Let's get into a comfortable position.
Whatever feels right for you today.
And when you're ready,
Close down your eyes.
Let's take a deep breath in through our nose.
And releasing it out to the mouth.
Allowing your shoulders to just drop away from your ears,
Releasing any tension in your jaw.
And letting your forehead relax.
You have arrived.
You are here.
And that is enough.
Now bring your awareness to your breath.
We don't need to change it,
Just notice it for a moment.
Feel the air moving in and out of your body.
Knowing that your breath is a gift.
With each inhale,
Feel yourself becoming more present,
More open,
More awake.
And with each exhale.
Releasing.
All heaviness that you may be carrying from yesterday.
You are here now,
It's a new day and a fresh start.
There is so much to be grateful for.
To begin,
I want you to think of one thing you're grateful for right now.
It could be small,
It could be big,
Simple,
Profound.
Perhaps it's just the warmth of your blanket,
That first sip of coffee in the morning.
The sound of the birds outside.
Or simply the fact.
That you woke up and got to see the sunrise.
Whatever comes to mind.
Hold it gently in your heart.
Now think of one person you're grateful for.
Someone who supported you,
Loved you,
Encouraged you,
Or simply made you smile.
Visualize their face and feel the warmth of gratitude for this person spreading through your chest.
Now think of one thing about yourself that you're grateful for.
A quality you possess,
A strength you have,
Something you love about who you are.
Honor yourself in this moment.
You are worthy of gratitude too.
Take a moment to let these three things fill your awareness.
The thing,
The person,
And you.
Let gratitude wash over you like a warm blanket,
Soft,
Gentle,
And comforting.
And now with this gratitude in your heart,
Ask yourself,
How do I want to feel today?
Not what you need to do.
How do you want to feel?
And let the answer come naturally.
It can be peaceful,
Joyful,
Excited,
Connected.
Content.
Let's pause for a moment and see what comes in.
Hold that feeling in your heart.
Let gratitude be the foundation of your day,
Every day.
And carry this feeling with you.
When you feel stress,
Return to it.
When you feel doubt,
Remember it.
And when you need grounding,
Breathe into it.
Gratitude is always here for you.
As we close,
Place one hand on your heart and repeat these words after me.
I am grateful for this day.
I am grateful for this life.
I am ready to receive all the goodness that comes my way.
Take one final deep breath in.
And as you exhale open your eyes We carry this gratitude with you all day.
You're already creating a beautiful life.
Today is yours.
Namaste.
