Loving Start: Morning Meditation

Welcome,

Good morning and as you settle into this practice and this new day,

Thank yourself for doing this for yourself,

For making this choice to start your day with a powerful connection or reconnection to loving energy,

The loving energy that's inside you,

Sending love towards yourself,

Towards your day,

It's going to make a tremendous difference.

So to begin,

Just allow yourself to get comfortable,

Staying with that feeling of softness,

Naturalness you've woken up with or moving back towards it,

Nothing is required of you in the outside world right now and even if your mind is jumping in with tasks and ideas like an enthusiastic puppy,

You'll be able to dial this down a little bit as you move inwardly.

So begin by taking some beautiful breaths into you this morning,

Filling yourself up again,

Naturally,

No forcing,

Just feeling that filling up and then that softening,

Beginning to feel and send some gratitude now to your body for being here,

For awakening,

For being here for you,

Bringing you into this space now,

Into this moment and getting settled in your seat wherever you are,

Just letting yourself land and arrive into this special space you're taking.

You can have your eyes open or closed,

Whatever suits you and taking a few more beautiful deep breaths,

Re-drinking them in that morning air that's so filled with potential and possibility,

That fresh new sparkling energy.

Feel the way that when you let go into the breath,

When you let go with the breath,

Your body just instinctively knows to soften and settle.

Can you invite a real softening into your body,

Softening toward yourself,

Softening your skin,

Softening your face and your jaw,

Softening your shoulders and letting go into the support you're feeling beneath you,

That's holding you.

Feeling that closeness with yourself,

That every breath takes you deeper toward yourself and saying hello to the being that lives inside you,

The one that thinks your thoughts,

Sees through your beautiful eyes,

Senses through your skin and also feeling that gentle drawing towards that part of you that's always here,

Has always been and always will be,

That part whose essence is pure love,

That part that feels loved and loving and knows how to love,

That part of you that knows feelings of delight and pleasure,

That part of you that is like the daylight,

Hopeful and soft,

Warm and bright and spreading.

You might feel the spreading of that energy inside your body as you connect to this part of you,

This essence,

This part that feels and senses possibility in the new day spreading ahead of you.

You might even be feeling your mind just beginning to soften a little as it lets go of what's old and done and not here,

As it no longer responds from there which is what happens when you're in this presence,

This presence of love that starts to come through.

As you breathe this fresh new energy of morning into your precious and beautiful being,

Feel yourself being nurtured,

Feel your cells being filled with this fresh new energy that is healthy and vital and feel yourself drawn to this part of you that is so awake and so deeply connected to the intelligence of creation,

Connected to love,

Peace,

Inspiration,

That bright energy inside of you that is an energy that is permeating the universe,

The creation inside which you live and move.

This loving,

Connected,

Living part of you that is essential to you and essential to life that is true to who you are no matter what's going on because it's never changing.

It's always been here,

Always will be inside of you.

Breathing into your center,

Your belly,

Your chest.

Feeling the energy there filling and softening and filling again.

This loving energy,

Bigger than identity,

Labels and stories in your mind,

Much bigger.

Your vibrant center of love is alive and awake underneath all the noise and hustle and pushing.

Underneath all the noise and hustle and pushing.

And as the day spreads ahead of you like a clear white canvas waiting to be painted,

Take advantage of that waiting moment.

Take advantage of this pause where all is possible to meet and greet and amplify the energy of this deep,

Boundless,

Unconditional loving and knowing aspect of you.

Just let it welcome you into your body,

Just let it welcome you into your body,

Enfolding you in love.

Let it welcome you into this space,

This time,

Your day.

Breathing into your belly and your chest,

Feeling your golden center lighting up,

Feeling your heart and sensing all of your love coming online,

Coming alive in you.

This love is with you and for you,

Protecting and nurturing you and leading you into the new day,

Into the highest vibrations that are here for you today and aligned with love.

Might you now bring your arms around you in some way,

Maybe cross your arms around your heart in a warm hug and say,

Hello beautiful you,

Welcome to this day.

I'd love for us to have a great day today.

Whatever happens,

I've got you and we'll be okay.

Just breathing with the words,

Letting the communication flow,

Letting the communication go deep,

Accepting your humanity with compassion and embracing the extraordinary blessing that you innately are and looking forward to amplifying the bright gifts of your soul as you go through the day.

And then with a big breath in,

Taking a big stretch of your arms into space,

Welcoming,

Welcoming the day and welcoming yourself into it and then breathing out.

A few more breaths,

Taking a few more breaths that way.

Maybe your eyes are opening.

When you're ready,

Bring all of you back into the space,

Into the new day,

This day that's filled with potential and possibility and you,

You on your own side moment by moment so you can adventure and explore and experience freely joyfully,

Safely,

Knowing you have your own back.
