Good morning now. Bring your attention now to the center of your chest. Imagine that there's a small flame there. Not a burning flame, Not even a wild flame. A steady one, Soft, Golden, And very quiet. It's been there all night. It was there while you slept. It was there before your first thought this morning. And is here now. So breathe in gently and imagine the flame growing just a little brighter. And breathe out. And let the body soften around it. And again. Breathe in. And the flying brains. And then breathe out. And the body settles. This flame is your awareness. Your presence. Your quiet strength. It doesn't need an applause. It doesn't need anyone to notice. And simply shines. Even on difficult mornings. Even when the mind is busy. Even when the body feels tired. The flame is still here. So let it warm the chest. And let it soften the belly. Let it bring a little steadiness to the whole body. Today, You don't need to be on fire. You only need to keep this small flame alive. With kindness. With patience, With one clear breath at a time. So stay quietly inside to yourself. I carry a steady life. I move through this day with calm strength. I don't need to rush my becoming. So now take one final breath in and then breathe out. Let it settle now. Now begin the day from that white fire. Now begin the day from that quiet fire. Good work today and namaste.
