Hi there,
I'm Not-So-Darling Tanya and welcome to Meditate in Style.
Life's not-so-darling moments don't stand a chance against stillness and a deep breath because peace,
My darling,
Is always in style.
Good morning,
Beautiful soul.
As a collective,
Let's settle in.
Whether you choose to sit,
Lie down,
Or even kneel,
Holding space for yourself with Jesus,
You're exactly where you need to be.
He is with you at sunrise and in every breath and in every moment.
If you feel cold,
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Let's begin with a deep breath in and let it go.
This morning,
We anchor into our breath,
Into his words.
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and breathe.
I'll guide you.
Holy Spirit,
Be near.
Jesus,
Wrap us in your morning light.
Ancestors,
Angels,
And guides,
Gather close.
We open our hearts to you.
Thank you,
Jesus,
For sitting with us in this new day.
Thank you for waking us up this morning,
For the gift of a new beginning,
New mercies,
And another chance to walk in your purpose.
Thank you for this body that carries me through life,
This vessel of light,
Even when it feels heavy.
Thank you for this breath in my lungs,
The beating of my heart,
The rising sun that reminds me.
You make all things new.
Thank you for your guidance,
Your unconditional love,
And your grace that meets us whether we rise feeling strong or a little weary.
As we greet this day,
I ask you to watch over us,
Wrap us in your protection,
Keep our thoughts pure,
Our words kind,
And our hearts soft towards ourselves and others.
Cover us again and again in every anxious moment,
Every unexpected detour,
Every quiet ache.
Be the stillness within the busy,
Be the light when the day feels long,
Be the whisper that reminds us we are never alone.
Place your healing hands upon us,
Lord.
Heal the wounds we hide,
Restore what feels broken,
Reignite our faith,
And renew our spirits from the inside out.
Today,
Let us walk as divine beings rooted in your love,
Anchored in your truth,
And guided by your light.
As we move through this day,
May we carry your peace like a shield,
Your joy like a song,
And your hope like a flame that never goes out.
We release this prayer with trust,
With gratitude,
And with open hearts.
In your holy name,
Amen.
And so it is,
And so it is,
My darling.
