Step 1: Find your sacred space
Sit comfortably or stand in a space where you feel grounded and relaxed.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath, allowing the air to center and ground you.
Exhale fully, releasing any lingering tension or worries from the day before.
Step 2: Breathe with oneness
Inhale deeply, imagining the universal breath flowing through your entire being.
Exhale and feel your spirit expand, merging with the infinite flow of creation.
Repeat silently or aloud: “I feel the one breath breathe through my entire being.”
Step 3: Open to divine presence
Visualize a golden light entering your heart with every inhale, representing divine love and wisdom.
Allow the light to fill your body, infusing every cell with warmth and grace.
Affirm: “I surrender to your boundless presence. I allow the divine grace of everlasting light to enter my field.”
Step 4: Connect with Gaia
Feel the energy of Gaia beneath you—rivers, mountains, and forests flowing in harmony.
Let the beauty of nature fill your heart with gratitude and peace.
Silently say: “I align with Gaia’s natural rhythms. I synchronize with her cycles of harmony and flow.”
Step 5: Set your intention
Bring your awareness to your heart center. Reflect on what you wish to cultivate today.

Take a moment to reflect on the blessings in your life, both seen and unseen.

Step 7: Radiate light to others
Visualize your light expanding outward, touching all beings with love and blessings.
Send peace and joy to those in need, affirming: “May all beings be blessed.”
