To begin this morning of energy, sit. Open the chest a little.
Whatever that looks like for you.
When the body feels ready, you may softly close your eyes.
With your eyes closed, invite aliveness, not a forced high.
Breathe in as if filling the ribs with morning light.
Breathe out anything stale from sleep.
What else feels awake already — hands, eyes, belly?
Energy here means warmth, not caffeine panic.
Clarity behind the eyes. Heat in the palms.
If you are tired, include the tiredness, and still let the breath be bright.
You can be awake without being harsh with yourself.
And let a quiet current rise.
Continue now from the belly up through the heart.
This is enough fuel for a human morning.
What do you notice as aliveness arrives?
Just wake. Accept. Allow. No rush.
Keeping your eyes closed, include the warmth in the hands.
Carry the current, not a panic.
There is nothing to force. Nothing to spike.
If the mind wants coffee drama, that is okay. Return to the breath.
Stay with warmth, clarity, and this quiet current.
You let yourself be alive. Including this morning.
Now let attention travel back. Stretch once, slowly.
Open your eyes. Carry the current into the day.
