Earth's energy is stable, free of the disordered vibrations that are a by-product of humanity's comings and goings.
In these first moments
of day, when the sun's golden light is only just peeking over the horizon, our
animal mind remains in the land of slumber though we ourselves are awake.
Deep sleep has washed away the impurities of existence that
accumulated within us, so our mental, physical, and emotional potential is
heightened.
To meditate in this peaceful yet energetically charged
in-between time is to connect with the divine in an extremely intimate fashion.
We discover a new kinship with the universal life force
during morning meditations because our awareness becomes a mirror for earthly
consciousness—we wake as the world wakes, quietly embracing the joy of being
and setting the tone for a serene, fulfilling day.
In the first glorious glow of morning, the light, air, and
energy flowing around us speak in hushed tones of the activity to come.
While we recognize that another day of being means becoming
once again immersed in the challenges of action and reaction, we also
understand that we can draw upon the unique energetic qualities of daybreak for
comfort, creativity, and vigour.
There is bliss in the simple knowledge that we have been
given the gift of another day of existence. We are inspired by sights and
sounds of the sun's gentle ascension.
Birds serenade the luminosity, which grows richer by the
minute. And though we may feel a residual lethargy, our vitality returns as our
meditation helps us to become one with the stirring of other beings rubbing the
sleep from their eyes.
At the start of each day, our destiny has not yet been
written, and so there is nothing we cannot do.
How we choose to meditate is less important than our choice
to attune ourselves to the spirit of wakefulness that travels round the world
each and every day.
Even the briefest moment of quiet contemplation in the muted
light of the sun can put all that is yet to come into perspective.
As a consequence of
our daybreak reflections, our lives are imbued with the same stability, tranquillity,
and increased awareness that humanity has long associated with the stillness of
early morning.
