a morning ritual (Patreon)

➧ no headphones version

this is a calming and reassuring morning experience I've crafted for you with the intent to prepare you for the day. most of us just stumble out of bed every morning and right into the chaos of daily life, taking no time to center ourselves in our own bodies or prepare for the tasks ahead mentally and emotionally. by watching this 15 minute video first thing in the morning, I hope that you will go through life feeling not only more relaxed, but assured, balanced, present and comfortable in yourself. this magical journey is meant to bring out the best in you and remind you that your life is your own. therefore, you should put yourself first whenever you can and live in such a way that you can give your best to the world. you owe it to yourself to honor your own existence.

the elements in this video are based on my personal morning routine, though not necessarily in that order. the way I like to prepare for the day is to dress in my favorite robe, fortify my aura with an incense smudging, take a beverage (coffee or tea or liquor, depends on what the day calls for), and remind myself of who I am. you'll be amazed how different your life will look if you go into your day with deliberation and dignity.

your morning experience should be as comforting as possible, so I laced it with soft and pleasant triggers like incense smoke, stroking velvet, face stroking, deliberate short flashes of eye gazing, ear to ear whispering and soft speaking, gentle (dry) tongue clicks, slow breathing and of course, relaxing ambient music by City of Dawn.

I hope you will learn to anticipate and enjoy the beginning of each day. it's a gift to be alive, no matter where life takes you or what you must face.
