Good morning!

Mornings are a new beginning,

Always a new chance.

I once heard the saying,

Yesterday is history,

Tomorrow is a mystery and this is why they call today a gift,

A present.

It's a gift that we can always unwrap to see what's inside and I'm very happy to start unwrapping this gift,

The present,

Today together with you.

For this morning meditation I invite you to close your eyes and to find yourself a comfortable position.

You feel alert but also relaxed.

I invite you to imagine the following situation.

You're outside your house or apartment and close by is a garden.

You slowly walk towards the garden and decide to enter the garden.

Around your arm you're carrying a basket and inside the basket are seeds.

Plenty of seeds for you to sow today.

Your bare feet,

The sun is out,

There is a gentle breeze and you walk around in the garden.

As you walk around in the garden you take out some seeds from the basket and lovingly drop them onto the earth beneath your feet.

These seeds represent your values,

Your beliefs.

What you give is what you receive.

What you sow today is what you will harvest.

To look around,

How does your garden look like or how do you wish your garden today to look like?

What are the beliefs that you want to nurture today?

Because they will only spread if you truly live them.

They will only spread if you truly embody them.

So slowly,

Lovingly and kindly you sow your seeds.

You create your own garden.

What you give is what you will receive.

So today I invite you to connect with kindness towards yourself and others.

Do something kind,

Something loving for yourself,

Just as you would to someone you love dearly.

I invite you today to help yourself.

I invite you to allow some time off for you and to allow yourself to just be with full acceptance of who you are in this very moment.

I invite you today to smile at yourself and say a kind word to yourself.

I also invite you to smile at other people.

Allow yourself a radical focus on their good sides.

Say something kind.

Give an authentic compliment.

Let a loved one know what you appreciate in him or her and how much you love them.

This is a gift to this person,

But this is also a gift to yourself.

You'd be amazed with the amount of positivity that will come back to you and how this will feed your day.

My dear friend,

I invite you to sow your seeds today with love,

Positive focus and kindness.

So go out and grow your beautiful garden,

Nurture your beliefs.

And today be kind to yourselves and others.

And now you are ready.

You are ready to open your eyes in your own time and to start unwrapping this beautiful gift today.
