What might happen to our hearts and mind if we could wake each day remembering that life is a gift? This kind of remembering can soften our stress, reduce our overwhelm, and help us realign with our good hearts, so that we can live more of our days from this space of remembering. This meditation is part of a series called Life and Death on Mindfulness, which helps listeners go beyond surface practice and into meditations that can help us find peace with all of life.

Good morning.

Feeling the morning in your body now.

Morning body is so different from day body and night body,

Right?

So feeling into and really being in your morning body now.

Nothing has happened yet on this date in your world.

It's an open square on your calendar.

The day before you now like a yet opened gift.

This day is a yet opened gift.

Your mind stretching toward the ribbons on this gift.

And stretching the body now.

Reaching.

Moving.

Enlivening.

Stretching your arms and legs out in all directions.

Toes and fingers maybe reaching north,

South,

East,

West.

And then toward every map point in between.

And now coming to rest.

Feeling the pause here before starting your day.

A pregnant pause as they say.

Rich with possibility.

This gift.

This offering to you laid at your feet now.

What will you do with this gift?

Can there be joy?

Can there be light?

Can there be love?

How do you say thank you for this gift?

How do you adore this offering?

Letting your heart swell and open if you can as you take your breaths.

Just a few moments more before ripping the ribbons off this gift.

Staying in the pause to appreciate this day as a gift.

Let yourself feel the space.

Let yourself feel the breath.

Let yourself feel the life traveling now in your veins.

Other days life might travel elsewhere.

Today life travels with you.

Today this gift.

Feel that.

Good morning.
