Morning Ritual Be a Human Sunrise My Darling.
As humanity’s evolutionary process continues to intensify, strengthening our human vibrancy and cultivating awareness of our interconnectivity feels more important than ever.
I’m on a personal mission to bring this intention into my daily life—and I want to invite you to do the same. To re-discover what truly lights you up. To sense what you need now to feel more alive, present, and connected. And then, to make those activities and ways of being a daily priority.
Recently, my friend PJ shared her morning practice with me, and I felt inspired to pass it along. In the quiet darkness of early morning, surrounded by persimmon and fir trees, she steps outside to greet the sunrise. She begins to move—an intuitive dance of aliveness. Then she hums. The sound vibrations awaken her from head to toe. Sometimes she leans her back against a tree, merging with its energy until she feels the tree as her own being.
I, too, have been rising early to greet the sunrise. Recently I stood outside for a few moments as the sky slowly lightened and the golden, glowing orb emerged from behind the mountains. I welcomed its brightness to flood my senses and felt my heart opening into gratitude for another day of life. Inspiration sparkled its way from the magic of the morning through me, onto the pages of my journal.
I’d love to share what came through with you. Perhaps you’ll sense the wisdom flowing in the spaces between the words and perhaps this reading will spark an inspired idea for your own morning practice—one that nourishes, strengthens, and awakens you.
Morning Practice Contemplation:
Imagine witnessing the pure brilliance of a radiant sunrise lighting the sky.
Open your arms and your heart to welcome this new day of life on Earth—this marvelous Blue Pearl.
Behold the miracle of existence,
as if for the very first time.
Explore, enjoy, struggle, learn,
and unfurl a little bit more into the deeper truth of who you are, a beacon of loving presence.
Sense into the great mystery that is everything
expressing through a vast diversity of forms.
How much aliveness, presence, gratitude,
wisdom, and love are you willing to experience today,
no matter the mundane task
or challenge before you?
Sink your roots deep into matter, your human experience.
Appreciate duality from vibrations
of peaceful, loving, free, creative energies—
that shine at the very center
of every person, place, and thing,
no matter how hidden they seem.
Lean back into the source of your true nature.
Be a Human Sunrise.
Journal Prompt: Let what lights you up become non-negotiable. Allow your aliveness to be a daily devotion—not something saved for later.
