One of the best times of day to cultivate present-moment awareness is right upon waking. Each day is a gift, but all too often we don’t recognize this upon waking. Instead, we jump out of bed and quickly tend to our tasks and to-do lists. We miss the opportunity to savor the start of our day with presence.
This morning mindfulness meditation script is an invitation to bring more awareness to those quiet moments after waking. It can help set the stage for a mindful day and deepen our awareness - of breath, of body, and of the new day.
Use this script to enhance your personal mindfulness practice - or consider using it to guide others. May we all learn to bring more presence to the moments our eyes open to greet the sun.
