Good morning
This practise is an opportunity for you to start your day positively
And by simply making the choice to be here for the next 15 minutes
You’re setting the intention to bring positivity and presence
Into the day ahead of you
And whatever ebbs and flows unfold today
This practise will support you
As you navigate whatever it is that lies ahead
So if you haven't already
Find your way to a comfortable seat
Or if it feels more appropriate for you in this moment
You could lie down
Whatever you choose
Take a moment to arrive in this shape
As we open this beautiful new day
Close your eyes or just soften the gaze
And take a deep breath in
Allowing the air to fill your lungs
Now exhale slowly
And then let the breath return to its natural rhythm
Softening into the seat or shape that your body is in with each wave of the breath
And as you start to find comfort in this place
Can you begin to bring your awareness to any parts of your body
That are in contact with the Earth?
So maybe that's your sit bones
Or perhaps it's the whole of the back of the body
Connected to and supported by the ground beneath you
Whatever is true for you
Take your awareness to where your body meets the Earth
And let the awareness rest there for a moment
Starting to feel the support of the Earth gently holding you here
Now slowly start to lift the awareness from the Earth
And let it travel along your spine towards the heart centre located in the middle of your chest
Imagine a tiny glowing ball of light residing in this space
This glowing light is your inner essence
Your true self
And all the goodness within you
Notice how it glows with each breath
And if the mind begins to wander
Can you guide it back to that light glowing within you?
Anchoring your awareness to the heart space
Now, from the heart space
Can you let the light slowly start to expand outwards
Filling the whole of your body with this brilliant glow
Let it grow bigger and brighter with each breath
Until it reaches every single cell in your body
Let it grow beyond you now
So that it permeates the surface of your skin
Imagine the warmth and glow of this light surrounding you
Enveloping your entire being
This light is filled with positive energy, with love and tranquility
Visualise it expanding with each breath you take
Radiating throughout your body
And cocooning your whole self in this positive, brilliant, bright light
You are this light
And whatever challenges you may face in the day ahead
You meet them with this positive energy radiating from within you
Now take a moment to set your intention for the day
What positive quality or attitude do you want to cultivate?
Perhaps it's patience or kindness or resilience
Choose a quality that resonates with you today
Visualise this quality merging with the bright light that surrounds you
See it infusing your being and empowering you to embody this positive quality
As you step forwards into your day
And take a few more deep breaths
Allowing this energy to integrate fully within you
Feel a sense of strength and readiness to embrace the day ahead
Take a deep breath in
And a soft sigh to let the breath go
And when you are ready
Gently open your eyes
And take a moment to appreciate this uplifted state you have cultivated
Carry this positivity and intention with you as you move throughout day
Knowing that you have the power to meet each moment as this version of yourself
