Welcome to your morning. Find a comfortable seat where you can be alert yet relaxed. Let your hands rest softly in your lap and gently close your eyes.
Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely.
And exhale fully, letting go of any lingering sleep or tension from the night.
Feel the weight of your body pressing down into the surface beneath you. Notice the connection between your body and the earth. You are grounded, safe, and ready to begin a new day.
Bring your awareness to the top of your head. Let a wave of relaxation flow down through your forehead, softening the tiny muscles around your eyes and jaw.
Allow this softness to travel down your neck and into your shoulders. Notice if you are holding any tightness there, and simply let it melt away.
Now, guide your attention to your breath. Just observe the natural rhythm of air flowing in and out of your body.
Notice the cool sensation at the tip of your nose as you breathe in, and the gentle warmth as you breathe out. Allow your chest and belly to rise and fall with effortless ease.
If your mind begins to wander to the tasks of the day ahead, that is completely okay. Gently acknowledge the thought, and bring your focus back to the simple act of breathing.
With each breath, imagine drawing in clarity and light. Picture a soft, bright energy filling your mind, clearing away any mental fog.
With each exhale, release any worry, planning, or stress. You are creating space for presence. Right now, in this moment, there is nowhere else you need to be and nothing else you need to do. You are simply here.
Feel the quiet stillness within you. This stillness is your anchor. It is a place of calm that you can return to at any time today, no matter what happens around you.
As we draw near the end of this practice, think of one simple intention for your day. It might be to stay patient, to move with ease, or simply to notice the good things around you.
Hold that intention in your heart, trusting that it will guide your words and actions. Take one more deep, intentional breath in. Fill your entire body with fresh morning energy, and let it out with a soft sigh. When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes. Notice the light in the room. Gently wiggle your fingers and toes, awakening your physical body. Carry this deep sense of clarity and presence with you into your morning, step by step.
