Good morning,

And welcome to this practice designed to ignite your inner fire and fill you with energy,

Confidence,

And of course drive.

By tuning in to the warmth and vitality within your body and mind,

You'll awaken a profound sense of purpose and enthusiasm for the day ahead.

So let's begin.

So begin by finding a quiet spot where you feel comfortable.

You can sit in a chair with your feet firmly on the ground,

Or on a cushion with your legs crossed,

Whatever position allows you to feel stable and alert.

And if possible,

Lengthen your spine so you feel both grounded and tall,

And gently rest your hands on your thighs.

And now,

Close your eyes or just lower your gaze.

Take a few deep,

Full breaths,

Inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.

Feel your body begin to settle.

Notice the weight of your feet on the floor,

The pressure of your body against the chair or the cushion.

And with each breath,

Invite yourself to become present.

This morning is a fresh start,

A blank canvas ready for you to paint with your intentions and actions.

Allow any lingering thoughts or worries to drift into the background.

This is your time to stoke the fires of motivation.

Bring your awareness to your breath.

Notice how it feels to draw air in through the nose,

Filling your lungs with life-giving oxygen.

And then,

Gently let the air flow out,

Releasing it through your nose or mouth in a soft,

Steady exhale.

And with each inhalation,

Imagine you're drawing in energy and warmth.

And with each exhale,

Let go of tension,

Fatigue,

And of course,

Doubt.

So continue the pattern.

Inhale,

An energizing breath.

And exhale,

Relaxing and releasing the breath.

So feel yourself becoming more centered,

More present with every cycle.

If you find your mind wandering,

Gently guide your attention back to the natural flow of inhaling and exhaling.

You are here,

In this moment,

Fully alive.

And before we kindle the fire of motivation,

Let's wake up the body a little bit.

So starting at your toes,

Notice any tingling there,

Or a warmth,

Or simply the presence of your feet.

So imagine softening any tension as you move your attention upward,

Through your ankles,

Your calves,

And your knees.

Sense your thighs relaxing as your hips settle more deeply into your seat.

And then travel your awareness to your lower abdomen,

Feeling a gentle expansion and contraction with each breath.

Allow your chest to open,

Your shoulders dropping away from your ears.

Soften any tightness in your neck or jaw.

Feel the muscles around your eyes,

And the muscles around your forehead,

Just release.

So let's awaken the spark of motivation within.

So visualize a tiny glowing ember or spark,

Just beneath your navel,

Or in the center of your chest,

Whatever feels more natural to you.

This small warm blow is the seed of your inner fire.

It represents your potential,

Your passion,

And your ambition.

And as you breathe in,

Imagine a gentle breeze of oxygen fueling this ember.

And as you breathe out,

Notice how it glows,

Just a little brighter.

Continue to breathe in and out,

Watching this ember come to life,

With every inhale and every exhale,

Steadily growing from a spark into a small flame.

This flame is your drive,

Your determination to move forward in life.

It carries within it the energy of your deepest goals and the passion that propels you to pursue them.

So let yourself feel its heat,

Invite it to illuminate your mind,

Awaken your heart and energize your body.

And now,

Imagine this small flame slowly expanding.

See it grow in size,

Brightening in color,

And becoming more radiant.

And with each breath,

Inhale,

Drawing in fresh energy,

Fueling the flame.

Inhale,

And exhale,

Feeling the flame expand,

Casting a warm glow throughout your body.

You might sense a comforting heat spreading through your stomach,

Your chest,

And your back.

Perhaps you see the flickering light dancing against the inside of your eyelids,

Or feel a gentle warmth radiating from your core.

So envision the flame becoming vibrant,

Stable and alive.

Allow it to ignite within you a bold sense of confidence.

This internal fire is powerful yet controlled,

Focused on fueling your passion,

Stoking your creativity and propelling you into purposeful action.

It burns away self-doubt,

Lethargy,

Or even hesitation,

Making space for clarity and determination.

So as you hold the image of the growing flame in your mind,

Let's infuse it with some affirmations.

So silently or softly,

Repeat each affirmation,

Letting the words resonate through your entire being.

Feel the truth of these statements as they melt in your inner flame.

I am awake and alive.

I am worthy of my goals.

My passion fuels my success.

I move forward with confidence and courage.

I have everything I need within me.

Every step I take is filled with purpose.

And with each statement,

Picture the flame flaring slightly,

Confirming your resolve.

Imagine it lighting up your body from the inside,

Touching every cell with warmth and energy.

And if any distracting thoughts try to intrude,

Simply let them pass like clouds in the sky and return to the powerful glow within you.

And before we move on,

Let's clear out negativity or limitations that might dim your flame.

So in your mind's eye,

See any doubts,

Fears,

Or anxieties as wisps of dark smoke.

Just notice where they linger,

Maybe in the pit of your stomach,

The back of your body,

Or lingering in your shoulders.

And now,

Consciously release them into the flame.

Watch as these clouds of smoke dissolve the instant they touch the bright,

Powerful fire.

They burn away effortlessly,

Transformed into energy that only makes your flame stronger.

So inhale,

Gathering up any remaining doubts,

And exhale,

Sending them into the flame,

Of course,

To be purified.

Sense yourself becoming lighter and more open,

Notice how your posture lifts,

Your chest expands,

And your heart feels freer.

You're clearing the path,

So that motivation and determination can thrive within you.

Your inner fire and inner flame is now strong and steady,

Radiating confidence and of course energy.

So let's harness that power for the day ahead.

Visualize yourself carrying this fiery motivation into your morning routine and all the activities on your schedule.

So picture yourself completing your usual morning tasks,

Like getting dressed,

Preparing breakfast,

Checking messages,

Or just planning the day.

But now infused with vibrant energy,

You move with purpose and assurance,

Led by the warmth in your core.

So imagine encountering typical challenges or obstacles,

Whether they're at work,

At home,

Or within relationships.

Notice how you face them with calm determination,

Guided by the steady flame in your body.

You remain clear-headed,

Proactive,

And optimistic.

Next,

Envision yourself taking decisive,

Confident steps towards your goals.

You see tasks checked off your list,

Projects moving forward,

And creative ideas flowing effortlessly.

You speak and act with conviction,

Inspiring those around you with your enthusiasm.

And finally,

See the joy this fiery motivation brings you.

Perhaps you notice a smile appearing on your own face,

Or a sense of genuine excitement in your heart.

You can feel yourself radiating positivity,

Lifting not only your own spirits,

But also the energy of people around you.

So breathe in the feeling of living your day in alignment with the inner fire.

Let it set the tone for everything you do.

Good,

You've nurtured your inner fire,

So let's bring this practice to a gentle close and prepare to start the day.

So take a long,

Deep inhale,

Feeling the warmth in your core,

And exhale slowly,

Sending that comforting heat throughout your body.

Notice the clarity of your mind and the steadiness of your energy.

Gently wiggle your fingers and toes,

Roll your shoulders,

Or softly stretch.

Become aware of the sounds around you,

The quiet hum of the morning,

Distant traffic,

Or just natural sounds from outside.

And when you're ready,

Softly open your eyes now.

Notice the space you're in,

And let the light of the morning shine in.

You're awake and alive,

You're fueled by passion and purpose,

And you're ready to face the day.

Good work today,

And namaste.
