Welcome to this guided practice.
In this meditation,
We'll be setting our intention for the day and really connecting to what matters.
I invite you to find a comfortable posture seated or lying down.
Closing the eyes.
Taking two slow cleansing breaths,
Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
As the breath comes into its natural rhythm,
We might connect with the awe of this moment.
Remembering that this is a moment that we've never lived before and will never have again in the history of our universe.
This eternal presence is a gift.
You might connect with this feeling of gratitude.
As we recall anything in this moment that we might be grateful for.
We might be grateful for certain relationships.
We might be grateful for safety in our home.
Might be grateful for the weather outside.
Just allowing all things.
That elicited a feeling of gratitude to become present here.
If it's helpful we might repeat a gentle mantra,
I am grateful for many things in my life.
And beginning to open now to things in our lives that bring joy.
Anything that brings joy.
We might invite it into our space right now.
It might be helpful to recall a recent memory.
Where laughter occurred spontaneously.
Might be an encounter that brought about joy.
Or maybe even in this moment,
Is there anything that elicits joy?
And as we include gratitude and joy into this moment.
We might remind ourselves that this moment is enough.
This moment is the only moment we'll ever have.
This moment is worthy of our attention.
And who you are is absolutely enough in this moment.
Might take a moment to connect with that feeling of being enough.
Of resting in a moment that is enough.
Beginning to open now.
To the purity of your intention.
As you move into the day.
From this place of being enough from this place of gratitude and joy in the moment.
What might it feel like to bring this forward into the day?
Trusting.
And the authenticity of your desires of really wanting to make today count.
It was this moment.
This day.
You have the desire to cause no harm.
You have the desire to.
.
.
Show up in the best way that you can and to have a sense at the end of the day that you left the world a slightly better place.
Let's connect with the purity and the love and the compassion.
Of those beautiful intentions.
We might take a moment to visualize a potential encounter today.
And imagining yourself living.
In doing.
From this place of centered being.
Where you're very grounded in your morals.
You trust your intentions and regardless of what those around you are doing or saying.
You feel this sense of empowerment.
You have the capacity to hold space for all emotions.
The pleasant,
The unpleasant,
And the neutral.
And you feel very clear.
On how you wish to respond.
And if it's helpful to visualize.
A semi-permeable boundary around your body.
This energetic boundary can allow in things that are helpful for your growth.
For meeting your intentions.
And then there's also this element of fierce compassion that can say no.
They can hold a boundary to protect yourself.
And allow this semi-permeable membrane to be as close or as far as you need it from your body.
And allowing a soft opening at the heart.
So anything that you do today,
Any encounter that you might have.
There's space for your loving intention,
For your compassion.
To move through the heart center to others and that you're also open to receiving the love and the support of the universe.
Through this heart center.
And as we're resting attention in the heart.
Envisioning a breath in and out through the heart where we begin to breathe in happiness.
Breathe in happiness and exhaling,
Sharing this happiness with the world.
Breathing in joy through the heart and exhaling through the heart joy and sharing this with the world.
And now breathing in freedom through the heart space and exhaling freedom out into the world.
And allowing all of these beautiful qualities happiness,
Joy.
Freedom.
Gratitude.
Allow this energy to move into every cell of the body.
Down into the DNA.
I might repeat a few mantras.
I give myself permission.
To feel happiness.
Joy freedom and gratitude today and all days.
This moment is enough.
I am enough in this moment.
May these qualities nurture your day.
May this practice guide your path.
May you trust in the purity of your intention.
And the goodness of your heart.
Any blessings.
