Good morning. Begin by setting an intention for peace and calm. Today is a new day, a fresh start, and we're going to begin it with relaxation and grounded energy. Take a deep breath in for a count of four, hold for a count of four and exhale slowly for a count of six. Let your breath settle naturally, allowing each inhale to be soft and each exhale to release any stress or worry. Imagine tension melting away with every breath. Now bring your awareness to the top of your head. Notice any tightness in your forehead, around your eyes or in your jaw. Let each area soften as you breathe, as you scan down your body. Release any tension you find in your shoulders, chest or back. Allow each part of your body to become heavy and relaxed. Imagine a gentle, warm light surrounding you, soft and calming, like a warm sunrise. Visualize this light expanding to fill your entire body, warming you, calming you. This light is washing away any tension, stress or anxiety. Repeat to yourself, silently or aloud I am calm and at peace. Today I will move through my day with ease. My body and mind are in balance. Pause briefly between each affirmation, gratitude and intention Setting. Take a moment to bring to mind something you're grateful for this morning something simple the warmth of your blanket, the sound of the morning, a loved one nearby. Let this feeling of gratitude feel you with warmth and peace.
