Your Home Within

The sun light is peeking through the blinds,

your eyes opening softly to greet the morning,

your body gently waking up, 

stretching, taking up space in the warm cozy bed

after a night’s rest,

one hand on your heart, another on your belly,

connecting with your breath, with the softness in your body,

checking in to say good morning to yourself,

as you begin your day,

It’s been a full day,

you notice you’re holding tension in your body,

maybe its frustrations or fatigue, or maybe its hunger setting in,

you pause and listen in,

you offer yourself some nourishment, taking the time to savor it,

noticing what’s around that soothes your weary heart,

The day hasn’t been easy,

you sense a wave of emotions coming,

you welcome them to join you at the table,

you hear them, you feel the ache in your heart,

they didn’t stay long,

you breathe out a sigh, your heart feeling lighter,

The day is coming to an end,

you start winding down, holding close those near and dear to you,

sharing ups and downs of the day, the trials and the triumphs,

you embrace the warm, loving connection, letting it fill your heart,

you feel held, you feel loved,

immensely grateful you get to end your day this way,

right where you are,

In the stillness of the night, as you lay quietly in bed, 

a sense of peace fills you, and you let it sink in,

tomorrow will be another day,

and with an open heart and open mind, 

you will welcome it, come what may,

because you hold a deep knowing, 

that you always have a safe home to return to,

within you...
