Hello everyone, welcome to this episode of the mindful in minutes podcast.
We are doing our community mini, which means we are supporting an organization that is
near and dear to my heart or near and dear to one of your hearts.
This month we are supporting the mindful life project and they are this beautiful organization
that is helping to transform schools from the inside out with innovative and comprehensive
mindfulness based social emotional learning program.
So they really help to bring mindfulness into the classroom and help support kids social
and emotional needs.
So that is who we are supporting this month.
And we are doing a five minute morning shower meditation.
The shower meditations have always been popular on the feed.
And I thought, why not do one for the morning where you can just either maybe wear your
AirPods into the shower.
You could also visualize this, um, or listen to it, then hop in the shower and like re-imagine
it.
And so when you're ready, take a moment just to set your intention for this meditation.
What is it that you would like to wash away or begin your day with?
Set your intention and then turn on your shower.
Take a moment just to listen to the water running.
Maybe notice the steam beginning to build in your bathroom.
Maybe take a moment of gratitude for the warm running water that you have access to.
Then when you're ready, you can hop in the shower, taking a moment to feel the warmth
of the water against your skin.
Maybe allowing that water to wash away any fatigue or lingering sleepiness or mental
fog still lingering from your sleep.
Letting that all wash away, removing that fatigue, that sleepiness, and instead letting
the warmth begin to wake you up and bring you this calm energy.
And just standing firmly, feet planted in the shower, just close your eyes and take
a few big, deep breaths.
Letting your lungs fill up fully and completely.
And exhaling out of your mouth, releasing any of that mental clutter or residual from
the night before.
Noticing how the warm water moves over your body.
Just bringing awareness to your different parts.
Maybe feeling the water on your back and letting it melt away any tension you have
here.
Noticing the water pour down over your arms, your torso, down your legs, towards your feet.
Letting this comforting, warm water of the shower release all tension, morning aches
and pains.
Any of that just being washed away.
Taking a few more deep breaths.
Telling yourself three times, I am awake, I am energized, I am ready for the day.
I am awake, I am energized, I am ready for the day.
Taking a few final moments just to enjoy the sensation of this shower in this moment.
Opening up all of your senses, feeling the water, taking deep breaths, hearing the sounds
of the shower, maybe looking around at the morning sunlight in your bathroom, whatever
it is.
Just take in this moment, allowing yourself to be filled up with the sensation of gratitude
for the gift of another day.
Taking one more big, deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Telling yourself, I am awake, I am energized, I am ready for the day.
And this is where I will leave you with my guidance.
I hope you have the best day ahead.
Thanks for joining me.
