  • Here's the meditation script for Mindful Mornings:

    Good morning, and welcome. I'm so glad you're here with me today. [PAUSE]

    I want to start by acknowledging something many of us are feeling right now - a sense of overwhelm. In our fast-paced world, mornings can feel like a tidal wave of expectations and tasks crashing around us before we've even had a chance to fully wake up. [PAUSE]

    Today, I invite you to pause. Just for these next few moments, let's create a small sanctuary of calm right where you are. [PAUSE]

    Find a comfortable position - whether you're sitting, standing, or even lying down. Allow your body to feel supported, like a leaf gently resting on still water. [PAUSE]

    Softly close your eyes, or if that feels uncomfortable, just lower your gaze. [PAUSE]

    Begin to notice your breath. Not trying to change it, just observing its natural rhythm. [PAUSE]

    Today's practice is about creating inner spaciousness - imagine your breath as a gentle tide, washing away the mental clutter, creating room for clarity and peace. [PAUSE]

    Inhale deeply, drawing in freshness and possibility. [PAUSE]
    Exhale slowly, releasing any tension you're carrying. [PAUSE]

    With each breath, imagine you're creating a small cushion of calm around you. This isn't about perfection, it's about presence. [PAUSE]

    Now, let's practice a gentle body scan. Start at the top of your head, and slowly travel downward. [PAUSE]

    Notice any areas of tightness without judgment. Just acknowledge them, like clouds passing through an open sky. [PAUSE]

    If your mind wanders - and it will - that's completely normal. Each time you notice, simply and kindly bring your attention back to your breath. [PAUSE]

    As we complete our practice, take a moment to set a gentle intention for your day. Not a rigid goal, but a soft aspiration. Perhaps it's approach challenges with patience, or meet yourself with kindness. [PAUSE]

    When you're ready, take one more deep breath. [PAUSE]

    As you move into your day, remember: this moment of calm is always available to you. You can return to your breath, to this sense of spaciousness, whenever you need. [PAUSE]

    Slowly open your eyes. Welcome to your day - bright, open, and full of possibility.
