The River Of Morning

Close your eyes,

Feel your body resting,

The ground steady beneath you.

Imagine a river at dawn,

Its surface is still touched by mist,

Its waters clear and endless.

The sound of the river is steady,

Like the quiet pulse of the earth.

As you breathe in,

Feel the current drawing you forward.

As you breathe out,

Feel the river carrying away all that is heavy.

Notice your body,

As if the water is flowing through you,

Through your feet,

Your legs,

Your belly,

Washing,

Cleansing,

Awakening.

Through your chest,

Shoulders,

Arms,

Bringing clarity and openness.

Through your face and head,

Leaving only freshness,

Only light.

In the mirror of the water,

You see yourself,

Not in a rush,

Not burdened,

But calm,

Clear and whole.

Repeat softly inside,

I move into this day like a river,

Steady,

Clear and alive.

Take a few moments in silence,

Letting this image settle within you.

And when you are ready,

You open your eyes softly,

Carrying the flow of the river into your day.
