あらすじ・解説
Good morning, and welcome. I'm so glad you're here with me today, taking this moment to pause and breathe before the world rushes in. I know mornings can feel overwhelming - perhaps you're already feeling the weight of emails, meetings, or personal challenges that seem to be waiting just around the corner.
Today, I want to invite you to create a small sanctuary of calm right where you are. Find a comfortable position - whether you're sitting, standing, or even lying down. Let your body settle, like a leaf gently coming to rest on still water.
Take a deep breath in through your nose, feeling the cool morning air fill your lungs. And then slowly release, letting go of any tension you might be holding. Notice how your body feels right now - not trying to change anything, just observing.
Imagine your morning as a blank canvas, and your breath as the first gentle brushstroke. Each inhale brings fresh possibility, each exhale releases what no longer serves you. We're going to practice a morning clarity meditation I call the "Horizon Breath."
Breathe naturally, and with each breath, picture yourself standing on a peaceful shoreline. The horizon stretches before you - wide, open, limitless. As you inhale, imagine drawing in the morning's potential, its fresh energy. As you exhale, let go of any anxiety, any remnants of restless sleep or anticipated stress.
Your thoughts might drift - and that's completely okay. When you notice your mind wandering, simply acknowledge those thoughts like passing clouds, and gently return to the image of that expansive horizon. You're not pushing anything away, just choosing where to place your attention.
Continue this for a few moments. Breathing in possibility. Breathing out limitation. Feel how your body becomes a calm center, even if just for these few minutes.
As we complete our practice, I invite you to carry this sense of spaciousness with you. Maybe it's a deep breath before your first meeting, a moment of pause before responding to a challenging email, or simply remembering this feeling of inner calm.
Thank you for spending this time with me. If this practice resonated with you, please subscribe to Mindful Mornings. We'll be here tomorrow, creating another moment of peace together.
Breathe well, and begin your day.
