About this listen
Today, I want to invite you into a different kind of morning ritual. A practice of gentle awakening that allows you to meet the day with spaciousness and calm.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable seat. Whether you're on a cushion, a chair, or your bed, allow your spine to feel tall yet relaxed. Close your eyes if that feels comfortable, or soften your gaze downward. Take a deep breath in through your nose, feeling your chest and belly expand like a soft balloon filling with warm, golden light. And then slowly exhale, releasing any tension you might be carrying.
Imagine your breath as a gentle tide. Each inhale is like waves rolling in, bringing fresh energy and possibility. Each exhale is like waves rolling out, carrying away anything that doesn't serve you in this moment. Not pushing or forcing, just allowing a natural rhythm to emerge.
Today, we're going to practice what I call the "Morning Clarity Meditation" - a technique designed to help you reset and center before the day's complexity takes over. As you continue breathing, begin to notice the subtle sensations in your body. The places where you feel grounded, the places that might feel tight or restless.
Without judgment, simply observe. Your thoughts are like clouds passing through a vast sky - they come, they go. You are the sky. Vast, unchanging, witnessing these mental formations without getting swept away.
Now, place one hand on your heart. Feel its steady, reliable rhythm. Silently repeat to yourself: "I am here. I am present. I am capable." Let these words sink into your being like gentle rain nourishing soil.
As we prepare to complete our practice, take three more intentional breaths. Know that this moment of calm is always available to you, no matter what challenges arise.
When you're ready, slowly open your eyes. Carry this sense of spaciousness with you. Perhaps set an intention to pause and reconnect with your breath throughout the day.
Thank you for showing up for yourself this morning. If this practice resonated with you, please subscribe and share Mindful Mornings with someone who might need a moment of peace. Until next time, breathe easy.
