Welcome to this morning mindfulness practice. Take a moment now to settle into a comfortable position. You can be seated or lying down. Allow your body to be at ease. Let your hands rest gently wherever they feel natural. And when you are ready, allow your eyes to close softly.
Begin by noticing your breath. Just notice it as it is, without trying to change it. Feel the air moving in through your nose. Feel the gentle rise of your chest and belly. And feel the slow release as you breathe out.
Now take one deeper breath in. Fill your lungs completely. And let it go with a long, slow sigh. Feel yourself arriving here, in this moment, at the start of this new day.
Notice how your body feels right now. Perhaps there is heaviness from sleep, or maybe a sense of freshness. Whatever you find, simply notice it without judgment. Let your shoulders soften. Let your jaw relax. Let your face grow smooth and calm.
Now bring your awareness to the quiet space within you. Beneath the thoughts, beneath the plans for the day ahead, there is a stillness. It is always there. Take a moment to rest in that stillness.
Thoughts will come. That is natural. When you notice a thought, gently acknowledge it, and let it drift away like a cloud passing through the sky. Return your attention to your breath.
As you rest here, set a gentle intention for this day. Perhaps it is to move with patience. Perhaps it is to stay present. Or perhaps it is simply to be kind to yourself. Choose whatever feels right, and hold it lightly in your awareness.
Now take a moment to appreciate this quiet time you have given yourself. You have begun the day with presence rather than hurry. Carry this calm awareness with you as you move into your morning.
When you are ready, begin to deepen your breath. Wiggle your fingers and your toes. Feel the surface beneath you. And slowly, gently, open your eyes. Welcome to your day.
