Good Monday morning.
As you are resting comfortably,
Let your mind focus its attention on the sound of my voice.
And begin to listen with your entire body,
Not just your ears.
Listen through every pore on the surface of your skin.
Take in a long,
Slow,
Deep breath.
And as you exhale,
I want you to imagine that you're waking up from a wonderful night's sleep,
Having slept upon the earth throughout the night.
Imagine that you're feeling the solid earth beneath you,
And the first light of dawn is skidding along the horizon with a brilliant red-orange glow in the eastern sky.
The sun has yet to lift from its slumber.
It is still the in-between state of the early morning.
Regardless of whatever time you are listening to this meditation,
Imagine it is the early morning,
And you are experiencing the break of day.
Not quite day or night,
But somewhere in between,
When the light and the dark share the same space in harmony with each other.
You begin now to awaken your mind.
Your body is healthy,
Powerful,
And strong,
And it lies very still and comfortable upon the earth.
You feel the strength of the earth beneath you,
And you now begin to imagine that as you lie there in the sweet grass that grows tall,
You are inside of an enchanted meadow in the early morning dawn.
You imagine the sky is a steely gray,
Illuminated by the rising sun in the east.
You feel well-rested and prepared to begin this new day,
To begin Monday,
The day named after the moon.
It is a new beginning this week,
A circle that begins where it ends and ends where it begins,
A circle that lifts into a spiral.
It might seem to you that it was just Monday a few days ago,
As time appears to be speeding up.
Through the acceleration of technology,
We now experience as much information in one day than we used to in an entire week.
This overload makes time appear to be speeding up.
One thing for certain is our lives have sped up.
So thank yourself for spending the next 10 minutes pausing,
Reflecting in this albeit brief guided meditation to set your intention for having a wonderful new week beginning this day.
Time isn't linear,
It's cyclic.
It moves in a continuous circle that slightly lifts as it completes its full 360 degree turn.
This slight elevation is the evolution of time,
Creating a spiral of time through the years and the months and the days and the weeks and the hours continually turning in a full circle.
Last week has ended and a new week begins,
A microcosm of the macrocosm.
Let today be brand new.
Let go of the cares and the worries from last week and begin with fresh eyes,
Having humility to let today be free from your assumptions and judgments of the past.
Whatever is on your schedule today,
Decide now that you aren't going to project negativity by assuming nothing changes.
For you have changed and you are growing and evolving.
So to begin looking at each situation as if for the very first time,
That's what humility really means.
Relax into the decision that today can be different,
A new day,
A new beginning.
As you rest there in this truth,
You notice in your mind a gentle mist begins to stir,
A gentle lift of the mist from the earth beneath you,
A fog covering your body.
You feel this light gray,
White fog surrounding you as you lie there upon the earth.
Imagine this fog,
It begins to be filled with a color of light.
That's right,
A specific color that will benefit you throughout this week.
Let yourself imagine,
Receive a color,
Perhaps the color is a warm red,
Orange or yellow or a green or a cool blue,
Purple or violet.
Imagine a beautiful color surrounding and filling this mist.
Just imagine that this fog that is surrounding you now is being filled with a color of light,
A specific color that will benefit you throughout this day.
Imagine,
Receive,
Perhaps it's a favorite color or a color you may not even particularly like,
But know that it is the right color for you this day,
That that color holds a vibration that will bring you greater balance as it begins to envelop you,
Surrounding you in this mist of colored light.
Does it feel warm or cool?
Feel the color surrounding your body as you lie upon the earth in this magical meadow,
Preparing for an incredibly new day,
A new day of humility,
A day that is born with fresh eyes,
A new vision,
Free from last week's experiences and ready to begin again with a positive perspective.
As you move through this day,
This colored light,
This mist will surround you,
Filling your aura,
Your energy,
Guiding and protecting you,
Helping you to remember to let each moment be brand new,
To not project the past onto this current situation.
Humility is a powerful way to create positive changes in your life.
Today,
Monday,
Is a day of humility to begin again and to let this day be brand new,
A brand new week that can be a week where you turned your life around.
Welcome to this day,
Monday.
Let it be a glorious one as you sense this colored light surrounding you and throughout the day,
Periodically just imagine and feel this cocoon of colored light enveloping you and guiding you as you move through your day.
In a moment,
I'm gonna count from one to three.
At the count of three,
I'm gonna have you take a deep breath in and open your eyes,
Ready to begin an amazing day.
One,
Stretching your body slowly.
Two,
Take in a deep breath.
Three,
As you exhale,
Open your eyes and welcome back.
Enjoy your Monday.
