What a joy to start this morning with everyone who tuned into our live video! And special gratitude to amazing
for leading us in calming breath work.You can watch the practice anytime of day. Grab some paper and pencil, make a list of specific things you feel grateful for in the moment. Pick one that surprise and intrigues you–and write some more!
I’m very excited for the wonderful circle of folks joining us tomorrow evening and invite everyone to join us! This hour-long gathering invites you to slow down, reflect, and connect with the spiritual energy of the Summer Solstice. Info and registration here.
Here’s the full version of John O’Donohue’s ‘A Morning Offering’:
I bless the night that nourished my heart
To set the ghosts of longing free
Into the flow and figure of dream
That went to harvest from the dark
Bread for the hunger no one sees.
All that is eternal in me
Welcomes the wonder of this day,
The field of brightness it creates
Offering time for each thing
To arise and illuminate.
I place on the altar of dawn:
The quiet loyalty of breath,
The tent of thought where I shelter,
Waves of desire I am shore to
And all beauty drawn to the eye.
May my mind come alive today
To the invisible geography
That invites me to new frontiers,
To break the dead shell of yesterdays,
To risk being disturbed and changed.
May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.
And…for more of Corie’s beautiful teaching, join her live on Substack this coming Saturday afternoon, which is the International Day of Yoga.
Wishing you a day full of connection to your creativity and your spirit! Love, Gabrielle Ariella
