Now, before our episode begins, here's a quick word from today's sponsors.
Rise and shine, my friend.
Welcome to the start of a brand new, beautiful day in this wonderful thing.
called life. I am so glad that you're here for this morning meditation, in which will calm and clear the
mind and prepare you for a fantastic day. Wherever you find yourself right now, whether you're still
in bed or you're up and about already, settle into a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate
in. And for me personally, that would be sitting on my meditation.
meditation cushion. But for you, that might be sitting on the edge of your bed, or on a chair or
couch in the room you're in, or maybe even still lying there in bed. Whatever works best for you
and the space you're in. And once you've settled into that position, just take a nice deep breath,
fill all the way up into your chest and down into your belly. Hold at the top.
And then exhale, release, and gently close your eyes.
And for this first moment of meditation,
it's common that the mind wants to run,
it wants to chase off all of those little to-dos on your list.
And that's perfectly fine.
Don't worry if it wants to do that.
It's completely natural and it's totally fine.
to help your mind ease into that calmer, more relaxed state.
Let's just take a few nice deep breaths.
You can just follow along with me.
Inhaling and then exhaling.
And as you exhale, just let the air fall out.
There's no need to force anything.
Inhale, hold, and exhale.
And if your mind is running off to this and that,
it's just fine
just keep coming back to the breath
as you inhale again
hold and exhale
hail again
once more now take a really deep breath
in
take an extra sip of air at the top
and hold
slowly let that air out
that's right
and as that air just falls out of your body
you can relax your face
you can drop your jaw
and soften your shoulders.
And as you continue settling into this nice and easy, calm state,
breath by breath, dropping deeper and deeper within yourself,
you can just begin to fill your heart and mind with a sense of gratitude.
For the simple fact that you,
are here today, that you have the chance to enjoy life once again for the realization that
you don't have to live today. You get to live today. That's such a special thing.
And maybe you can find a bit more gratitude in something that you have to look forward to
in this day. And that might be as simple as your morning cup of
coffee, the smile of your friend, your partner, or your child, or simply a bit of beautiful
weather outside. Whatever those sources of gratitude are for you, just allow your mind a moment
to rest on all of these beautiful little things that just might happen to bless your day today.
And it doesn't matter whether things seem to go right today or things seem to go wrong.
What matters is that you're here.
And so whatever might be worrying you, bothering you, stressing you,
or leading you to have an itch to get up and get going and get started.
You can just let that be because everything you need,
is taken care of right now.
In this moment, you are safe, you are alive, you are okay, that this day is already a beautiful day.
What happens?
No matter what anybody says or thinks about you or the way you live your life,
you have a reason to be happy today.
so you can begin to bring a little life back to your face
with a gentle smile,
a little moment of peace, happiness, and quiet.
All right.
Now let's take three more deep breaths
to energize the body
and prepare for this day before we wrap up.
So inhale deeply.
all the way into your lungs.
Hold again, even deeper,
all the way into your lungs,
expanding through the diaphragm.
Hold, exhale.
Last one, deepest breath yet.
Inhale, fill all the way up.
Hold it.
Take an extra sip of air.
And then exhale, release.
Let that air fall back out.
And when you're ready,
you can begin to bring yourself back to your surroundings.
Notice the support of whatever's beneath your body.
And slowly, when you're ready, open your eyes, come out of that, and begin to go about your day.
Well, my friend, I hope you're feeling calm and relaxed after that meditation, but also enthusiastic and excited for the day ahead.
We truly have so much to be grateful.
for simply based on the fact that you and I are here sharing in this wonderful thing called
life. And best of all, we get to do it together. So go out today and share that beautiful human
being that is you with the rest of the world. I so appreciate that you chose to be here today.
It means the world to me. So if nothing else, you made my day. And I appreciate you for you.
