The Buddha once said,
Every morning we are born again.
What we do today is what matters most.
Good morning.
Welcome to this morning meditation,
A space for peace,
Presence and purpose.
As Eleanor Roosevelt said,
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
Every sunrise is a new beginning,
A chance to reset and return to your centre.
Let this be a space for you,
To ground yourself,
To remember who you truly are.
Allow your eyes to close and allow your body to soften.
Take a deep inhale and a slow deep exhale out.
Allow yourself to be.
Now become aware of the top of your head,
Let a wave of peace and softness wash over you.
Soften your forehead,
Relax your eyes and allow your jaw to soften,
Let your shoulders drop,
Your arms relax.
Feel the breath in your belly rising and falling,
Your belly softening with each breath.
Let your hips relax,
Your legs,
Your feet.
Feeling held and grounded in this space,
You are supported.
Now we'll set an intention for the day,
Not focusing on what we need to do but who we want to be and how we want to feel.
As Spencer Johnson once said,
In one minute you can change your attitude and in that minute you can change your entire day.
You may wish to place a hand on your heart as you gently ask yourself,
Who do I want to be today,
How do I want to feel today?
Let the answer rise naturally,
Maybe it's a sense of ease,
A sense of presence and joy.
This is your intention,
Let it be your guide for the day,
Let it light the way forward for you,
Carry that feeling with you.
Now repeat the following affirmations in your mind.
Today I feel love,
Peace and gratitude.
I am calm and confident.
I live with an open heart.
Today is full of possibilities and I am open to seeing and receiving them.
Let these words settle into your heart and let them be your quiet anchor through the day.
As Nelson Mandela once said,
Remember to smile,
When you're ready bring a smile to your face as you open your eyes and step into your day,
Steady,
Inspired and the best version of yourself,
Completely yourself.
Have a beautiful day.
What I know for sure is that every sunrise is like a new page,
A chance to write ourselves and receive each day in all its glory,
Each day is a wonder.
Oprah Winfrey
