Growth begins here: A morning meditation

A grounding meditation is an excellent way to wake up and jump start the morning while the coffee is brewing.

To Begin: 
Exhale, until you can't continue to exhale any longer and take in three deep breaths, in this way.

Stand up, feel your feet touching the ground. Bring your attention to all that they do for you and any pain or discomfort there now. Notice them, feel them and JUMP on them. 

Bring your attention to balance and inquire, 

"Is balance possible, now, within the movement?"

Continue to jump and move and open up your arms up high towards the sky and laugh. Laugh with open arms while you're present and jumping the body. Laughing moves the toxins out of the lungs by the movement of the diaphragm while breathing and laughing. Every night the body cleanses itself.

When you're tired of laughing, breathing and having a good time, come back to this breath in stillness. Allow all external things to leave you and simply "be" (notice) this moment (now) using all of your senses.

This meditation helps you "get grounded" before the start of your day. Chill in this moment awhile, continue to practice this meditation throughout the day if you're feeling tired or stuck and need to wake up. 

Namaste
