welcome to
today's gratitude of meditation with
mindful affirmations
this is a great session to listen to in
the morning just after waking up
Rising with the sun gives us an
excellent opportunity to begin the new
day with renewed appreciation
take a few moments to bring yourself out
of sleep into a light wakeful state
you may open your eyes if you'd like or
allow them to stay closed
take a deep breath in
invigorating the lungs waking them up
and give your body a nice stretch gently
waking it
our thoughts are often scattered first
thing in the morning
drifting to our responsibilities what
we're having for breakfast our commute
our work duties and everything else that
veers for our attention day to day
so before the Mind wakes up completely
this morning
we're going to create a blank canvas
taking a nice deep cleansing breath in
and release letting it go
clearing the mind of any leftover
concerns from yesterday and any stress
about the future
setting an intention to start fresh
today
Place both hands lightly on the stomach
area and breathe into them
becoming more energized more alert
aligning yourself with willpower
and the intention to start your day in
gratitude
feel this invigorating energy flow
underneath your hands
and spread throughout your body
continue to hold your hands in the
center of the stomach under your rib
cage
your solar plexus Energy Center
visualize the sun now
imagine it coming up over the horizon
see it Illuminating everything it
touches
oceans the hills the grass and your skin
feel it touching your body
warming it
waking it up
hear the birds chirping and the roost is
growing as they greet the Sun
see the flowers opening gracefully
tilting toward the light
tilt your head up like the flowers
drinking in every ounce of sunlight
feel it wash over and around you
invigorating every part of your body
feel the sun
illuminating your mind
bringing Sunny thoughts to it
clearing away the lingering Shadows of
sleep
move your hands up to your heart
breathe in and out through your heart
center
rest your attention on your heart for a
moment or two as you breathe
foreign
now visualize the energy of your kind
loving grateful heart
spreading out around you
filling the space beyond your body
breathe as the energy grows
foreign
ations to start the day off right
taking a deep breath
and slowly exhale
then repeat after me
I am grateful for this day
add some emotion to the words by truly
feeling the Gratitude flow through them
not worrying about what your day will
look like and letting go of expectation
simply expressing your thanks for waking
up today
I am grateful for this day
offering thanks for the Sun
I am grateful for this day
feeling gratitude flow through you as
you breathe easily
and enjoy this wonderful moment of pure
appreciation
I
am grateful for this day
now repeat
I am grateful for my body
feel appreciation moving through each
body part as you say again
I am grateful for my body
I am grateful for my body
feeling it deep within your bones now
as you continue to repeat
I am
I am full for my body
now repeating
I am grateful for my mind
expressing thanks for your beautiful
unique brilliant mind
I'm grateful for my mind
feel appreciation move through your head
as you continue to repeat
I am grateful for my mind
now repeat
I am grateful for everything I will
experience today
say this again with strong conviction
I am grateful for everything that I will
experience today
good or bad every experience makes us
who we are
welcome the highs and lows alike
knowing that everything is a lesson and
a blessing
I am grateful for everything that I will
experience today
foreign
is an opportunity for growth
hold appreciation in your awareness as
you continue to repeat
I am a grateful for everything that I
will experience today
now you may choose a new affirmation to
repeat
beginning with the words I am grateful
for
and ending with the words of your choice
anything that you could return to
throughout your day for inspiration
and a dose of gratitude
after you align with your affirmation
repeat it a few times breathing deeply
into the core of your body
foreign
to take deep inhales and slow exhales as
you repeat your affirmation
once again holding appreciation in your
awareness
foreign
gently bring your attention back to your
body sitting
feel energy in your hands and feet
begin to wriggle your fingers and toes
and when you are ready
to gently open your eyes
sit up straight and give the body
another long stretch
extending the arms reaching your fingers
Towards the Sky
extending your legs and wriggling your
toes
and return your breath to an easy
natural rhythm
as you finally rise
starting your day off
on the right foot
and carrying gratitude with you
every step of the way
have a fabulous day my friends
