Speaker:

good morning, creative

Spiritual Journey podcast.

2

:

Friends.

3

:

The reason I'm saying good morning

is because this meditation, a

4

:

perfect brightness of hope, is to

be done in the morning so that we

5

:

can begin our day looking for the

bright side of life, visualizing

6

:

our best self moving forward today.

7

:

' cause we're gonna bump up against

the darkness and the messy, and the

8

:

troubling, and we want to be prepared.

9

:

Full of light

10

:

acting our best selves, asking ourselves

what is good in our each situation.

11

:

And if we can't see the

good, how can I make it good?

12

:

And if that's still a problem.

13

:

Because it's out of our control.

14

:

How can I be the good in my response?

15

:

So this meditation comes from a

beautiful scripture found in the doctrine

16

:

covenants 50 23 to 24, that which does

not edify is not of God and is darkness.

17

:

That which is of God is light and

he that receives light and continues

18

:

in God receives more light, and

that light grows brighter and

19

:

brighter until the perfect day.

20

:

I say it that you may know the truth, that

you may chase darkness from among you.

21

:

So just like all meditations, if

you would get nice and comfortable.

22

:

Not too comfortable.

23

:

'cause we wanna stay awake.

24

:

We have a new day, new opportunity

stretched out before us.

25

:

So Take a nice deep breath in through

the nose, down into the belly.

26

:

We do this so we can calm the

mind, the heart, the body.

27

:

And we exhale through the nose as well.

28

:

Breathing in, visualizing the light.

29

:

Exhale, chasing the darkness away.

30

:

This time, As you breathe in, I'm

inviting you to put a smile on your face.

31

:

Let's see if we can hold that smile

throughout the whole meditation.

32

:

There's something about body language

that will help flip that switch in

33

:

your mind to be able to see the light.

34

:

The bright side today.

35

:

we are gonna approach this meditation

with an open heart, an open mind.

36

:

We're gonna be the open vessel to receive

light breathing in a brightness of hope.

37

:

I want you to imagine

your face seeing the sun.

38

:

You know how that feels to look

up into the sky on a beautiful

39

:

sunrise and feel the warmth.

40

:

It just soaks into your very soul.

41

:

Good morning.

42

:

Breathing in that warm

healing light of the savior

43

:

exhaling and letting go of the darkness,

those things that trouble your heart and

44

:

mind, that weigh heavy on your shoulders.

45

:

Today I choose to receive light,

46

:

that witches of God is light.

47

:

Breathing it in to the

heart, crossed your face.

48

:

What would it feel like to just

soak in this light into every inch

49

:

of your body down into the very

cells, down into the center of your

50

:

soul, illuminating bright light.

51

:

Exhale, chase out the darkness.

52

:

It's as if the back door of our heart

opens up and we can just let it sweep out.

53

:

A fresh new day welcomes in.

54

:

And in this space of

light, of peace and calm,

55

:

with a smile on our face, and that

warmth and our heart and throughout our

56

:

body are ready to visualize our best

self today moving forward with faith.

57

:

Moving forward with hope

of good things to come.

58

:

Today, I choose to love

59

:

and you feel that love.

60

:

It's like this light soaking

into every cell of your body.

61

:

You are meant to shine this

light, this divine love.

62

:

I am love

63

:

today, I choose joy.

64

:

I feel joy as I look for

the goodness, the light.

65

:

And that which edifies my soul.

66

:

I am joy

67

:

breathing in light, visualizing that

warm sun on your face and that smile.

68

:

Today I choose peace.

69

:

To be the peacemaker to bring calm,

70

:

I feel equanimity, a calmness in

the very soul, and as those storms

71

:

rage around me, I feel peace.

72

:

I am peace.

73

:

Breathing in more light, bright light.

74

:

Today I choose long suffering

to be patient and kind.

75

:

I feel a calmness in my soul.

76

:

Long suffering,

77

:

allowing light.

78

:

And to your heart.

79

:

I am long suffering

80

:

today.

81

:

I choose gentleness and goodness

82

:

as I.

83

:

Travel among loved ones and

strangers, and even my enemies today,

84

:

I will feel gentleness and

goodness within my soul,

85

:

and I will have the eyes to

see the goodness in them.

86

:

I will be the goodness in how I treat

them with gentleness and kindness.

87

:

I am goodness.

88

:

Today I choose faith.

89

:

Faith in the son of God,

the light of the world,

90

:

him who I draw this perfect

brightness of hope from my savior.

91

:

I feel his love.

92

:

His Grace empowers me to be my

best self to walk in faith forward.

93

:

Steadfast.

94

:

I am faith.

95

:

Today I choose meekness.

96

:

Meekness is strength.

97

:

I am strong as I walk in the light.

99

:

Meekness is a love.

100

:

A power

101

:

to be the servant, I am meekness.

102

:

Today.

103

:

I choose temperance.

104

:

To bridle my passions,

105

:

I feel

106

:

guided, empowered as

I practice temperance.

107

:

to be the wise steward.

108

:

I am temperance.

109

:

I receive light that which edifies eyes.

110

:

I choose to live in this light, to live

in the spirit, to walk in the light.

111

:

To walk forward in a brightness of hope,

112

:

and today I will look for that

perfect day, continuing to

113

:

chase darkness from among me.

114

:

That which is of God is light and

he that receives light and continues

115

:

in God, receives more light, and

that light grows brighter and

116

:

brighter until the perfect day.

117

:

Today is that day.

118

:

See yourself becoming brighter,

119

:

And I will see you on the trail now.
