Many of us have specific rituals that we do each morning. Some of us practice yoga, pray, or meditate. Others ask reflective questions or repeat affirmations, and others do heart-opening exercises. These ritualized behaviors are essential to beginning our day on the right path, subtly setting the course that our day will follow. Starting your day with a meditation ritual provides the perfect environment for your intentions to embed and for your day to unfold with greater grace and greater ease.

Welcome to The Daily Insight.

This is David G.

Let's find a comfortable place to sit or lie down.

Let's gently feather our nest.

And together let's take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in.

And gently let that go.

Allow your eyelids to gently float closed.

And let's do that one more time.

Long,

Slow,

Deep breath in.

And gently release it.

And continue to watch your breath as it comes into you.

And as it flows back out.

Just witness it.

Simply observe it.

Notice it.

There's nowhere else to be.

There's nothing else to do.

Except to be right here.

Right now.

In this sacred,

Precious,

Present moment.

As you watch your breath,

Notice that your mind is calming.

Your body is relaxing.

And that swirl inside of you and outside of you is beginning to slow.

So just allow it.

Allow yourself to settle in.

Allow yourself to surrender to this sacred,

Precious,

Present moment.

And let's begin by asking ourselves a few sacred questions.

First let's ask,

Who am I?

Who am I?

Sometimes answers will flow back to you.

Sometimes there'll be no answers.

Simply keep asking the question over and over.

Now is a perfect time to begin your dialogue with the universe.

Who am I?

Who am I?

And next,

Let's ask,

What does my heart truly long for?

What does my heart truly long for?

And next,

Let's ask,

What holds my stars apart and my universe together?

And lastly,

Let's ask,

What am I grateful for?

Who am I grateful for?

Who am I grateful for?

Who am I grateful for?

And now just take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in with me.

And as you exhale,

Just let it all go.

Release all the questions,

All the answers.

And now let's invite an intention into our awareness.

And one desire you'd like to see unfold today,

Something you can manifest,

Something you can co-create.

Perhaps it was the answer to the question,

What does my heart truly long for?

Invite an intention to help follow through on that dream.

Allow it to crystallize in your mind's eye.

See it unfolding in every aspect of your life.

And now let's invite an intention into our awareness.

And when you're clear on it,

Ever so gently,

Invite it into your heart.

Feel it nestle in.

Feel it settle in.

And now plant it like a seed in that fertile soil of your heart.

Feel it take hold.

Now take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in.

And release it.

Let go of attachment to outcome.

We have total control over our words and our actions.

But no control over the fruit of them.

So let's place all of our attention today on our outlook and detach from the outcome.

We'll leave it up to the universe to work out all the details that will allow us to truly execute each thought,

Each word,

Each action with brilliance.

Coming from our best version,

Our highest vibration.

And now let's surrender to the stillness and silence that rests within.

Just witness your breath as it flows into you and witness it as it flows back out.

Just float with me right now.

And when you realize that you've drifted away from witnessing your breath to thoughts or sounds or physical sensations,

That's okay.

Ever so gently,

Drift back to your breath,

Back to the breath.

If you notice that you're focusing on a mood or a feeling or a sensation,

Treat those as you would any other thought.

And ever so gently,

Drift back to the breath,

Back to witnessing.

I'll watch the time.

And when you hear me ring the chime,

Just sit gently with your eyes closed.

So let's begin.

And now take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in.

And gently let that go.

Let's do that one more time.

Long,

Slow,

Deep breath in.

And gently release it.

And now wiggle your fingers,

Wiggle your toes.

And when it feels comfortable,

You can slowly open your eyes.

Know that your dialogue with the universe has been established.

Know that you've planted intentions deep within.

Know that you've connected to pure stillness and silence.

You're fully ready,

Fully prepared.

And now launch into your day.

From the sweet spot of the universe,

This is David G.

Wishing you an amazing day.

Day full of empowerment,

Of creativity,

Of abundance and love.

Namaste.

I’ve been listening and practicing with this meditation for the last 2 1/2 months - daily. It’s such an incredible meditation. I love the questions he asks to create the dialogue with my soul. I appreciate setting an intention each day and being reminded of what my heart truly desires. And the closing - to take on the day with creativity, love and kindness. I know no better way to start a day. Plus his voice, the background music β€” all add to this experience. Thanks @Davidji ❀️
