あらすじ・解説
Good morning, and welcome. I'm so glad you're here, taking this moment just for yourself. Today, I know mornings can feel like a whirlwind - emails flooding in, notifications pinging, the world demanding your attention before you've even had a chance to fully wake up. But right now, you're creating a sanctuary of calm.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position. Whether you're sitting, standing, or lying down, allow your body to settle. Imagine your spine is a tall, strong tree - rooted, yet flexible. Gently close your eyes if that feels comfortable, or soften your gaze.
Take a deep breath in through your nose, feeling the cool air entering, and a slow exhale through your mouth. With each breath, imagine you're releasing the mental clutter of the morning. Breathe in possibility, breathe out tension. Your breath is like a gentle wave, washing away whatever feels overwhelming.
Now, I want to share a practice I call the "Morning Clarity Compass." Imagine your mind is a vast, open sky. Thoughts are clouds - some big and stormy, some light and passing. Your job isn't to fight these clouds, but to observe them with kind curiosity.
Place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly. Feel the rhythm of your breath. Notice the rise and fall, like gentle waves. When a thought arrives - about work, family, today's challenges - simply acknowledge it. "Oh, hello thought," then return to your breath. You're not pushing anything away, just gently redirecting your attention.
Imagine each breath is drawing a line of clarity through your morning. Each inhale brings fresh energy, each exhale releases what no longer serves you. Your thoughts don't control you - you're the spacious awareness witnessing them.
As we complete this practice, set an intention. What quality do you want to carry into your day? Patience? Curiosity? Compassion? Breathe that quality into your body.
When you're ready, slowly open your eyes. Carry this sense of spaciousness with you. You might pause and take three conscious breaths before checking your phone or starting your tasks.
