Transcript

Close your eyes or soften your gaze.

Begin to follow the breath as it moves in and out of your body.

Allow your awareness to go down to your heart center.

Imagine that you can go within your heart center.

Settle into this space.

Today is a new day.

A blank slate of opportunities and possibilities.

You are a co-creator of the masterpiece about to unfold throughout the day.

Just for today.

Are you willing to welcome everything that comes to you?

Extending a sense of curiosity and wonder.

Perhaps even awe.

You don't have to know how.

You just have to be willing.

If you are willing,

Say to yourself,

Welcome new day.

In this new day,

All thoughts,

Feelings,

Emotions,

People,

Conditions,

Situations are present for your growth and healing.

What if,

Just for today,

You softened any desire for control or power?

What would this day look like if your focus was on generosity?

What if,

Just for today,

You softened your desire for affection?

Is there someone you could offer affection to that may be lonely or isolated?

What if,

Just for today,

You softened your desire for approval?

Imagine the power of offering yourself approval.

What if,

Just for today,

You softened your desire for survival and security?

Are you willing to trust that you can co-create something better than you can imagine in this moment?

In this moment,

Listening to this,

You are perfectly secure.

You are taken care of.

You are protected and loved.

What if,

Just for today,

You softened your desire to change any person,

Condition,

Situation in your life?

Would you be willing to accept yourself and others,

Just for today,

As is,

Nothing to change?

Are you willing to offer grace instead of judgment?

Within each of us is a seed of unconditional love,

Open to that love within your heart right now.

Allow yourself to receive a deeper connection to that love as you let go and surrender into the peacefulness.

Allow your body to soften a bit more.

Allow the breath to deepen and slow.

Rest here now,

Integrating this willingness into your body before this day fully begins.

Slowly bring your awareness back into your body,

Back into the room.

Welcome to this day.
