Steven Webb:
Good morning and welcome to your morning serenity. A meditation to help you boost some energy,
Steven Webb:
confidence and gratitude to take you through the day.
Steven Webb:
And this is an ideal meditation to do every day for a few days or a couple of weeks.
Steven Webb:
And then you'll be able to take over and do it by yourself as a natural thing when you wake
Steven Webb:
up.
Steven Webb:
So let's begin by grounding ourselves. So we do this by finding a comfortable position.
Steven Webb:
And just settle into whatever position you find comfortable. And
Steven Webb:
remember, relaxing is not about forcing the body to relax. It's about allowing the body to relax. Your
Steven Webb:
arms and your torso and your legs, they know how to relax. They they don't need telling. They don't need
Steven Webb:
forcing.
Steven Webb:
Just give them permission.
Steven Webb:
And then we give permission to your face to relax and your eyes and your forehead.
Steven Webb:
And then give permission to the rest of your body to just relax into this moment.
Steven Webb:
And now you can gently close your eyes.
Steven Webb:
And we're just inviting some calmness and peace in this moment.
Steven Webb:
And let's become aware of our breath.
Steven Webb:
Notice how it flows in and out naturally and effortlessly.
Steven Webb:
You may feel the coolness of the air as you inhale
Steven Webb:
and Maybe notice the warmth as you exhale.
Steven Webb:
There's no need to change your breath. Just simply notice and let it be.
Steven Webb:
Your body knows how to breathe. You don't have to get involved.
Steven Webb:
Now we'll shift our attention to our bodies. And we'll just start right at the top of the head, slowly
Steven Webb:
moving your awareness all the way down, noticing any sensations as you go, your
Steven Webb:
forehead, your eyes and your cheeks, down
Steven Webb:
to your neck, your shoulders, your arms and your hands.
Steven Webb:
Continue to your torso, your back and your hips,
Steven Webb:
Your thighs and your knees and your calves and finally your feet.
Steven Webb:
And as this wave moves down over you, just take notice of your body in its entirety.
Steven Webb:
And imagine it being grounded and present in this moment.
Steven Webb:
It may feel slightly heavier than usual.
Steven Webb:
Notice your connection to the earth below you.
Steven Webb:
Notice how you're part of it.
Steven Webb:
And now imagine a glowing ball of energy at the centre of the earth.
Steven Webb:
This energy is really powerful. It's bright and it's infinite.
Steven Webb:
It has a calmness energy.
Steven Webb:
It has an energy that's familiar to you.
Steven Webb:
An energy that you enjoy and embrace. And
Steven Webb:
visualize this energy as a vibrant light glowing beneath you.
Steven Webb:
And with each breath you take, imagine the light travelling up from the earth, entering your body through your feet.
Steven Webb:
Feel this light as it moves upwards, energizing every cell it touches.
Steven Webb:
It fills your legs, your torso, your arms, all the way up to the crown of your head.
Steven Webb:
Feel the warmth and the vitality this light brings, energizing your whole body.
Steven Webb:
And now with this state of energised calm, imagine your day ahead.
Steven Webb:
Visualize yourself moving through the day with ease and grace.
Steven Webb:
Picture every task or challenge being handled smoothly with confidence and calm.
Steven Webb:
See yourself interacting with others with kindness and patience.
Steven Webb:
Imagine yourself making progress on your goals.
Steven Webb:
Taking steps forward with purpose and joy.
Steven Webb:
And if there's any difficulties that may arise today, Know that you've got it with confidence and joy. And with
Steven Webb:
the wisdom of your heart.
Steven Webb:
Let's introduce some affirmations. Repeat each phrase in your mind. And try to believe in
Steven Webb:
the truth of each statement.
Steven Webb:
I am capable.
Steven Webb:
I am capable.
Steven Webb:
I am strong.
Steven Webb:
I am strong.
Steven Webb:
I believe in my abilities.
Steven Webb:
I believe in my abilities.
Steven Webb:
I am confident and wise.
Steven Webb:
I am confident and wise.
Steven Webb:
Now just place one of your hands on your heart.
Steven Webb:
Open your fingers slightly and just feel the raising of your chest and the lowering as you breathe in and
Steven Webb:
out.
Steven Webb:
And feel the energy of that white light,
Steven Webb:
the confidence of moving through the day.
Steven Webb:
And with all this in mind and all this in heart,
Steven Webb:
with a deep breath, say to yourself, I am enough, just as I am.
Steven Webb:
I am enough,
Steven Webb:
just as I am.
Steven Webb:
And as you repeat that, really feel it throughout your body and throughout your day and throughout your whole life.
Steven Webb:
I am enough,
Steven Webb:
just as I am.
Steven Webb:
And allow these affirmations to echo in your mind resonating with your true self.
Steven Webb:
That person who you are below all the noise.
Steven Webb:
Finally, let's end our meditation with a moment of gratitude.
Steven Webb:
And the simplest way to do this is think of three things you're grateful for today. They
Steven Webb:
can be big or small, recent or not.
Steven Webb:
I'll just give you a moment to think of three things.
Steven Webb:
And if you cannot think of three things at the same time, just think of one thing
Steven Webb:
And hold them in your mind and let the feeling of gratitude fill your heart.
Steven Webb:
Imagine how your life would be like without it.
Steven Webb:
And imagine your life with it.
Steven Webb:
Now gradually bring your attention back to your body and your breath. I'm
Steven Webb:
breathing in. I'm breathing out.
Steven Webb:
And feel your body, feel your arms. Wiggle all your fingers and your toes. And as you're gently awakening
Steven Webb:
your body, you're ready for the day ahead. Slowly open your eyes and look around you.
Steven Webb:
And thank you for joining me for this meditation.
Steven Webb:
And you can take this energy and confidence and the gratitude with you as you move throughout your day.
Steven Webb:
