And wherever you are, close the eyes or gently begin to let the gaze soften, maybe have the eyes half closed. And take a deep breath in through the nose. Open the mouth inside out. Letting all the energy that's been stored up through the night, letting it out through the mouth as you exhale. And bringing one palm to the heart. And notice your palm cradling your heart this morning. Bringing your awareness to all five fingertips. Laying over the heart space. Noticing the touch of the five fingertips. Noticing if the touch is light or it's a bit more forceful. Just giving you information of where you are this morning. And then bring awareness to your inhale and your exhale. Noticing if your breath is more in the upper part of your chest or perhaps a bit lower, more towards the solar plexus or the navel. Just taking in your body's signals, not trying to change your breath in any way. Bringing awareness to the lungs as they expand when you inhale. And soften when you exhale. Steady? Does it skip? Just noticing what your heartbeat is doing this morning. Taking note of all the body signals. Then begin to bring your awareness and notice where God is reaching into your world. Perhaps you notice the birds chirping outside, like I can hear. Perhaps it's the feeling of the air on your skin. Or the breeze. Noticing the temperature of the air as it caresses your skin. Is it warm? Dry or damp? Perhaps you can feel the warmth of the sun on your face. What does that feel like for you? And in your mind's eye, bring forth an image, a word of one thing that you're grateful for this morning. And see it in your mind's eye. Let the hand return back down to the lap. When you're ready, gently opening up the eyes, taking in the light, the room, the space all around you. And notice how you feel. Maybe put it in the comments. What is your felt sense? And maybe take forth that image of the one thing that you're grateful for. Take it with you for the rest of this day and for the rest of this week. When you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, perhaps just put one hand over the heart and cradle the heart and think of the one thing that you're grateful for.
