Hello and welcome to The Daily Insight.
I'm Carmen Warrington from Australia and thank you for joining me for meditation.
Today's practice is a visualisation and it makes no difference whether you're a visual person or a sensing person.
However you can take yourself into the time and the place of this meditation will be right for you.
The purpose of this practice is to create a state of mind that will help you flow beautifully through your day.
However your day will unfold,
This is your day and you can choose to make it light,
Bright and powerful.
This is your day.
So sit relaxed and alert with eyes closed or slightly open,
Whatever serves you best today.
To centre yourself take three deep breaths.
Through the nose breathe in deeply.
Through slightly parted lips breathe out fully.
And then wait until your body calls for the next breath in.
After your three deep breaths continue breathing normally.
I invite you to take yourself to a particular time of day.
The time is pre-dawn,
Just before the sunrise,
Still dark with just a hint of daylight in the sky.
And now take yourself to a particular place,
An easterly facing beach,
Safe and secluded.
Imagine it to be a perfect beach for you.
The open sky above you,
Spacious,
Unlimited.
The vast deep sea in front of you.
The sand beneath you.
It's a beautiful time of day,
A time of hope and optimism,
A time to start afresh.
A new day is about to dawn.
Birdsong is celebrating this moment,
The beginning of a precious new day.
None of us knows how many days we have.
All we have is this day.
Pause a moment in gratitude for this day,
This moment,
This breath.
The golden glow on the horizon is brilliant,
Magnificent.
And here comes the first glimpse of the sun.
The top of the golden ball of light rises out of the ocean.
The golden sun is rising.
This is my inner landscape.
This sun is my power centre.
The source of my energy is light,
Bright and powerful.
I am light,
Bright and powerful.
I am light,
Awake and aware.
I am bright,
Positive and creative.
I am powerful.
I am bright.
I use my bright and creative mind to set up a positive outlook for the day.
This day is mine.
What do I choose for myself for this day?
What do I want to feel today?
I am light,
Bright and powerful.
I sit in the sky,
The unlimited open sky.
Resting in the beautiful blue sky.
The open spaciousness of my mind.
Thoughts become slower.
Space in between thoughts.
This meditation is coming to a close.
Ground yourself by taking a deep breath in and out.
Now that you've reconnected to your light,
Bright,
Powerful centre,
Ease yourself back into your day.
This is your day.
Thank you for meditating today and when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
